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.

What is the over under on hater comments about this one? I say 22.
let's hit that goal. that place blows!
if 'dont stop believin' is your idea of music that makes the club 'go off', the irony is lost on me......
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.
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.
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

I love Citrine
I love the fake David Jaffee post. Poor guy really gets crushed on here.
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.
wak with a huge scoop of *cheez
maybe there is a cool VIP room.
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?
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!
I'm sorry, but is this a gay club?
Correction : Lily Pond was the best show out east in the Hamptons this summer.
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?
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.
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.
22 comments, you win
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.
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
THE POST ABOUT SCOTT IS SO UNCOOL. NEVER MET THE GUY. BUT, IT IS JUST NOT COOL.
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.
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!!!!!!!!!!
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
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.
KingAdRock, i'm sure you're not an asshole. You're probably much better then that
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...
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)
"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"!
fyi, the above comment was not posted by us. someone else used the login. we were at citrine opening night. see our review.
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
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.
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
Why does Long Island generate the most talented people on the planet?
Every amazing promoter is from Long Island....
your an idiot lpinogc
Dune was good on Saturday. So Was Lilly Pond but young.
Pink was THE PLACE and the only spot busy both nights.
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.
Let me rephrase that, SCOTT SOLISH, resembles Splinter with a meth problem and a fetish for glory holes.
I am being Scott Solish for halloween
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.
Is that the bar....lighting up like rainbow bright?
Never been, never will.
