Journey to Citrine

An astute little birdy who begs to differ with our analysis of Citrine last week has come through on her promise to send us a video of what she proclaimed was the new club 'going off'.  In our effort to be fair and balanced, we decided to upload this video through the system of tubes that is the internet (sorry Ted).  So, here it is.  Judge for yourself.  Disclaimer:  If you are or have had a history of being epileptic, you may want to turn away from the color changing bar.

let's hit that goal. that place blows!

October 29, 2008 at 10:30AM | Unregistered Commenterstua

if 'dont stop believin' is your idea of music that makes the club 'go off', the irony is lost on me......

October 29, 2008 at 10:33AM | Unregistered Commentermusic guy

hahaha music guy great comment...whatever loser who works for citrine could have picked a less corny song to video! give me a break this is the zero talent DJ's top pick! can we say OUS'T

I disagree, whenever Journey is thrown on at 230 in the morning after a few drinks it always leads to a fun time. Citrine looks great, I am looking forward to hitting it up.

After finally making it to Citrine last night i was impressed. By far the hottest girl ratio I've seen in a club in new york in a long time. The venue itself has a great feel to it. Perfect size and layout. great place to pickup. The guys behind this got a winning combo. I see great things for this place.

October 29, 2008 at 11:34AM | Unregistered CommenterRickyBobby

This place sucks!!! The video sucks!!!

ALL OF YOU ARE A BUNCH OF COTTON TAIL NINNY MUGGINS. GET A JOB AND STOP BEING SO HARD ON OTHERS. THESE FUCKING KIDS JUST OPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF OCTOBER, HAHAHA. RELAX... I WAS AT CITRINE LAST NIGHT AND IT WAS PRETTY CHILL, SAM RONSON WAS OK. I THINK THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT ARE AT LEAST TRYING DURING HARD TIMES, SO MAYBE ALL YOU ANGRY BROKE BITCHEZZZZZZ THAT ARE ALL CRYING ABOUT HOW BAD IT IS SHOULD TRY AND OPEN UP. -GINA R

The Creators of LA PLAYA in the Hamptons are the people that bring you CITRINE. WHAT A FAILURE!!!! and they were talking the same amount of shit when La Playa opened. 3 weeks in La Playa FAILED. Citrine, Failure is around the corner.

October 29, 2008 at 11:57AM | Unregistered Commenterbobbyrick

Bobbyrick. Which Promoter are you? Such a promoter post. I read this site everyday and I know a promoter when I read one.

I think there should be 2 new rules on DBTH. If you are making a comment on a venue, you have to have gone there at least once. I have not been so I have no comment. My bet is of the 9 comments only 1 person has been to Citrine and 1 works there. The other posters are pissed off that their boss at their 65K a year job is a DB. i understand that.

Second rule is that any person who is a promoter or owner should have to identify themselves. If you have the balls to rip any person or place, at least do it in the open. That door guy Aalex was a total DB in his Blackbook interview but, at least he didn't hide behind some BS handle like Bobbyricky.

i think it is unfair that Rickybobby says anyone was talking shit. I don't remember any shit talking from Citrine or La Playa for that matter. By opening is that talking shit. I could be wrong but, I think those guys who did La Playa also did Pink Hamptons - which was the best spot out there. Not sure. Correct me if I am wrong.
All the shit talking is from the other Promoters / Owners and angry bloggers.

The End
Scott

I love Citrine

I love the fake David Jaffee post. Poor guy really gets crushed on here.

October 29, 2008 at 01:34PM | Unregistered CommenterFOR REAL

lol remember when tenjune just opened and marquee and there were no blogs to bash them. this is like perez hilton is for celebs. you just get torn apart on this site. it's pretty funny. latrine got a page 6 shout out today. not bad. make it rain rich kids.

October 29, 2008 at 01:39PM | Unregistered Commenteri dj music sometimes at places and stuff

wak with a huge scoop of *cheez
maybe there is a cool VIP room.

October 29, 2008 at 02:03PM | Unregistered Commenterfromthevideo

True about the blogs not being around when marquee opened. they were probably around when Tenjune opened but, not as popular. DBTH when did you launch?

October 29, 2008 at 03:16PM | Unregistered CommenterFOR REAL

Thank you Scott, yes the openers of Citrine are the one and only team that ROCKED Pink Hamptons this summer. Bobby Rick clearly doesn't do his homework!

October 29, 2008 at 03:34PM | Unregistered CommenterInthebiz

I'm sorry, but is this a gay club?

October 29, 2008 at 03:38PM | Unregistered CommenterA Gay Guy

Correction : Lily Pond was the best show out east in the Hamptons this summer.

October 29, 2008 at 03:48PM | Unregistered Commenterbegtodiffer

So how does it go on this website? People bash the club and then the club owners/employees try to defend themselves with posts that aren't supposed to look like it's them posting it? Am i close?

October 29, 2008 at 03:51PM | Unregistered Commenterwonderman

Haha!!! True that! I'm sure that one of the owners submitted the video! I never saw Tenjune or Marquee trying to give anyone a look at inside when they opened.

October 29, 2008 at 03:54PM | Unregistered CommenterFoSho

WONDERMAN YOU ARE CORRECT, FOR THE MOST PART THAT IS THE WAY IT WORKS.

FOR EXAMPLE THE PERSON WHO POSTED LILY POND WAS THE BEST PLACE IN THE HAMPTONS IS CLEARLY INVOLVED WITH LILLY POND BECAUSE IT WAS A NICE SPACE BUT, IT WAS NOT PINK ELEPHANT.

October 29, 2008 at 04:17PM | Unregistered CommenterFOR REAL

22 comments, you win

October 29, 2008 at 04:22PM | Unregistered Commenterlawl

i will say, that video doesn't do that night justice, there was a consistent hour towards the end of the night where the dj began to kill a house set like i've never heard, if people have video of that they should put it up. don't stop believing is quite cheese, but it seems to work so, if its too boring for you i suggest heading somewhere else to feed your musical hunger bc i can guarantee you more than half of new york nightlife is not based on the music anymore. so good luck with that.

October 29, 2008 at 04:39PM | Unregistered Commenternew

Just so we're all on the same page, the ugly freak homo that's behind this website (who probably got beat up in highschool) is Scott Solish. Here, take a look, http://nymag.com/images/2/daily/food/08/03/21_solish_lgl.jpg . The guy looks like my ass after taco bell and a long walk in the desert. Who the hell is he to bad mouth a nightclub? Guys a poser with a blog that cost about $10.00 to design/develop. The reviews should be written by professionals (credible people that are in the service/nightlife industry) - freedom of speech is all good but there needs to be a line. What good is reading a review if it's written by some jackass who has probably never left his basement studio apartment in hoboken?

HAS TO BE HATER COMMENTS

October 29, 2008 at 04:43PM | Unregistered CommenterFOR REAL

THE POST ABOUT SCOTT IS SO UNCOOL. NEVER MET THE GUY. BUT, IT IS JUST NOT COOL.

October 29, 2008 at 04:46PM | Unregistered CommenterFOR REAL

Wow, so this is the dbag that has been hating on everyone all this time? I have to say, I used to take this site somewhat seriously but this is it. Guy is clearly a tool and the hate on citrine is over the top. Seems kind of personal, now after the picture I understand why. PASS on this site going forward.

October 29, 2008 at 04:47PM | Unregistered Commenteryouserious?

Eldridge Sucks!!!!!!!!
Lily pond was a poor club - got a bad rap for ugly young girls
La Playa was the shittiest place on the planet

Eldridge Sucks!!!!!!!!!!

October 29, 2008 at 04:57PM | Unregistered CommenterEldridge

Jesus Christ - that dude is so disgusting looking. He will have a tough time getting a job now since he is associated with such hate - his current employers will not be pleased. He is a bitter guy clearly

October 29, 2008 at 04:58PM | Unregistered CommenterRickyBobby

Cant this be 90 percent of the clubs in the city?! A bunch of hey assholes! jumping around to the sound of Journey... hmmmmm really different. could have been in libation for all we know.

October 29, 2008 at 05:06PM | Unregistered CommenterKingAdRock

KingAdRock, i'm sure you're not an asshole. You're probably much better then that

October 29, 2008 at 05:09PM | Unregistered Commenterareyouserious?

FOR REAL - how is that uncool? So basically, this splinter lookalike can bad mouth anybody/everybody and the one time somebody comes at him...it's uncool? Not sure if I follow...

October 29, 2008 at 05:11PM | Unregistered CommenterJust making an observation...

Kingadrock I agree- Literally go into any "models and bottles" type place in the city and it's the same fucking thing. don't get me wrong it's fun for a few hours but let's be serious here. none of these new places are ground breaking. they just make the door more exclusive so everyone buys into it. i don't care if a club was in the middle of a fucking crack house-if there's some jerkoff doorman and a few hot chicks the place will generate a buzz (i.e. upstairs)

Tap tap that bed to the wall!! (sorry listening to MIA)

October 29, 2008 at 07:59PM | Unregistered Commenterlittle ol me

"Fine - we admit it - we didn't get in last night - we just enjoy being horrible human beings - we know it will come to bite us in the ass one day, but we simply get too much joy in crushing peoples dreams to stop. Yay"

posted by our friend Scott re:Citrine. Looks like David Jaffee now has competition for the biggest shit talking douchebag in NYC....why don't you take your wannabe John-the-Baptist ass and have a rusty trombone party. Down with the "Hipster"!

October 29, 2008 at 09:00PM | Unregistered Commentershit begets shit

fyi, the above comment was not posted by us. someone else used the login. we were at citrine opening night. see our review.

October 29, 2008 at 10:30PM | Unregistered CommenterDown By The Hispter

DBTH I read your posts and reviews as well as all the comments on this board. you were at Citrine for the Richie Rich party which was not opening night. it was a private party that you got invited to by someone else. Friday night was opening night at 11pm. Be fair. You can judge the room based on that trip but not the crowd. journalistic integrity

October 30, 2008 at 08:20AM | Unregistered Commenternot true

I do not Particularly like Mike Satsky who owns LILY POND, and I find him to be a dick and a bigger dick when he is outside shitting on everyone screaming at fat girls and ugly people. But I have to speak the HONEST TRUTH. Lily Pond was the best place in the Hamptons with Hottest Girls by far. anyone that claims anything less is a Hating Lier.

October 30, 2008 at 02:35PM | Unregistered CommenterHamptonBC

False
It is a fact that it was a makeshift piece of shit - there is only one legit spot to go in the hamptons and we all know what that is
That post was clearly from someone affiliated with lilyPond trying to throw people off by shitting on someone who always gets shit on

October 30, 2008 at 03:36PM | Unregistered CommenterLilyPond is not a good club

Why does Long Island generate the most talented people on the planet?

Every amazing promoter is from Long Island....

October 30, 2008 at 03:38PM | Unregistered CommenterLong Island

your an idiot lpinogc

October 30, 2008 at 03:42PM | Unregistered CommenterHamptonBC

Dune was good on Saturday. So Was Lilly Pond but young.

Pink was THE PLACE and the only spot busy both nights.

October 30, 2008 at 05:11PM | Unregistered CommenterFOR REAL

OMG I AM PISSING MY PANTS: Your ass after Taco Bell and a Long Walk In the Desert! LMAOOOOO!!! I'm using that!!

Wonderman: for the most part you are correct. I am assuming that everyone who comments on here are either owners, promoters, or employees of the nightlife industry. I doubt there are any genuine patrons regardless of what anyone claims.

October 31, 2008 at 10:24AM | Unregistered CommenterWhat A Joke

Let me rephrase that, SCOTT SOLISH, resembles Splinter with a meth problem and a fetish for glory holes.

October 31, 2008 at 03:46PM | Unregistered CommenterJust making an observation

I am being Scott Solish for halloween

October 31, 2008 at 05:21PM | Unregistered CommenterSplinter

HI HATER! Ive been to Citrine once and I dont know what any of you are talking about. Come with girls, you're getting in. Lots of gorgeous girls, great girl to guy ratio, and the same music they play at all this spots, nice mix of hip hop and rock. Place stayed bumping until closing, what else could you ask for. If you come with all guys, of course you are going to have a problem, places like this cant stay open if they let every guy in the city in. Negative responses are from people that got rejected or hate on the owners/promoters.

October 31, 2008 at 09:22PM | Unregistered CommenterMaino

Is that the bar....lighting up like rainbow bright?
Never been, never will.
