Mansion |
Miami Beach nightlife visionary Eric Milon, who
previously established the Living Room as a glamorous tropical
waypoint for east-coast A-listers and European jet-setters in the
early '90s, now present us with Mansion, a club that has become the
prime destination for Hollywood celebs and the hippest crowd in
South Florida.
Set in the massive 1235 Washington Avenue space that
was originally built as the French Casino in 1936, and has housed such
legendary nightclubs as Glam Slam, Club Z and Paragon, Mansion has a
brand new $2 million dollar redesign that projects
a sensual vibe throughout its multi-level area. With six
bars on two levels and a main-room stage to host fashion shows and live
performances, we predict Mansion will rewrite South Beach nightlife
history for years to come.

Review:
Ok. Mansion totally transitioned me from being a club
go(er) who goes to clubs because they are talked about--- to now
a club go(er) who clubs at venues to treat patrons like they are
guest. Who are these people who say "this is Miami this is what
you get?" Like I said, these days I do not go to any venue that
holds lines. Wake up people. A venue is supposed to wait on you,
not you on them. I have no issue with paying $20 to get in, I
get you need the money, but I think line holding (for no reason)
is disrespectful, I don't care if it's ATL, LA, MIA, NYC, or the
fucking Gobi Dessert.
OK. Like, you folks who dropped $700, $1200 and up dollars.
Wooooo, I know your pissed, I spent maybe $40 on admission and
drinks. The most I've personally spent on VIP is $400 at another
venue in ATL), so I don't spend huge amounts of club money.
Seriously, we pay for a sofa in VIP when most of us have them at
home, funny (I hate you guys paid for a table).
The name Mansion, why? It is not huge inside. I'm still looking
for the ultimate club with the huge 5000sq foot dance floor that
you see in the movies. This is not a venue with anything special
going on. The big & tall bald head bouncer, is a straight anal
canal. F*#k the lines. You came out to have a good time, find a
venue where you can do so without being treated like 2nd class
minion. Like a dummy, I waited in line all Saturday night and
didn't get in. In my desperate state of mind, tried again Sunday
(I think mostly b/c they were one of the few venues that were
open on Sunday so) got in and it was just ok. I know your
thinking, well it was Sunday, well it was full, and if this is
"South Beach" like these others are raving about, It should
have been the best. Don't waste a good night in south beach at
this BS, be there done that- venue!

I didn't wait
too long in line. But alot of guys were rude, when I was being
ushered in with my guy they wouldn't get out the way. You don't
have to be naked to get in but you have to look good and damn
sexy if your with a guy. The $20 door fee was waived for us...it
really helps to look sexy. The bars were crowded so get ready to
fight your way through and the club was super crowded but that's
what makes it fun so Enjoy..I love my hometown =)

Review:
Not worth it!
Went last night. You have to pay $30 if your a guy, $25 for
women. It seemed like the staff was trying to start more fights
than stop them. They were just standing there shoving people for
the hell of it. When a fight did break out the staff just stood
there and watched for about 10 minutes before attempting to stop
it. The drinks were god awful and overpriced. My friend had
asked for something sweet and strong, instead he got what tasted
like water mixed with alcohol. I've been to way better clubs
that didn't cost an arm and a leg. The only good thing i can say
about this place is the décor. The music could've been a lil
better. I recommend to skip this club.

Mansion needs
to increase its ratio of man to women, we went 2 nights in a row
and both nights had an overwhelming amount of guys versus girls

Showed up with
4 of my girlfriends. This is obviously the trick because we were
immediately shown the front of the line by the bouncers, and we
showed up dressed to kill. We were, however, all disappointed
when we got in there. The party hadn't really started yet, the
house music was iffy and the crowd was...well...let's just say
it must have been a slow night and everyone was let in.

well when in
was livin there it was dope, and i was with a bunch of models
who got me in for free, and we were vip (which means we got a
table, and bottles) that was free 2, cuz the model crowd gets
whatever they want, im just glad my boys hooked up like that. So
unless you got lots of loot, or your famous, you better know
someone that knows someone, if you catch my drift, the girls,

Review:
The line was
horrendously long, and that is WITH the 'VIP' wristband.
Apparently, there were too many given out. In addition, there
were other priority guess that were pushed to the front of the
line. These individuals include those with a hotel pass (Not
sure what hotel, but the passes where black), and the friends of
the bouncers/staff. The latter were in ridiculous numbers; Too
many people being able to jump a line while others patiently
waited. So much for the 'VIP' wristbands. In any case, once
in, I must be fair, it wasn't bad! My Heineken was 8 bucks, not
much different from NY, or any other big city. Oddly, many
people brought sand to the beach.
There were a lots of couples
there, or at least it seemed. This made it hard to see who was
alone and who was just left alone for a moment. The middle of
the room was taken up by the VIP section. So, get used to
dancing by stairs, small pathways, or by a small lounge with
couches in the way. To me it was a poor floor plan!! The music,
however, did keep me moving until 4am. By this time, many
people where leaving as well, unless, of course, you where in
the VIP section where only you could be. If you ask me this
club would be better as an exclusive club where everyone was a
VIP.
My biggest problem with the club was waiting online with a 'VIP'
wristband for over an hour. As I was leaving I asked a bouncer
if this was the norm, guess what he said.

The Mansion
was unbelievably sweet! Yes, you may have to wait in line for a
bit, but come with a wristband and you'll get in a lot quicker.
Once inside, this place is bumping with hot people ready to
party all night. I'm talking you hold nothing back and simply
have a blast! I love this place!!!!

Honestly, if
anyone really reads any of these reviews, and you are planning a
trip to South beach, then I will advice you to stay away from
any of the big night clubs.
I was at South beach last
weekend, and decided to check out Club Mansion, with some
friends. For such a big and popular club, their customer
relation really sucks. The bouncers were very rude, the VIP line
was extremely long, and their bottle requirements made
absolutely no sense. The same applies to Privé.

Considering
this seems to be the most popular club, I was not impressed. It
was nice, fun, had a good sound system and worth a visit, but
not worth all the hype. I have been to better. If you haven't
been to big clubs, you will probably like it.

It was
horrible. Me and 8 of my friends spent $2000 dollars for VIP.
When we got there they said we were not on the list. We had to
argue with them. After we finally got in we got a little table
that could seat only half of us and we were not allowed on the
dance floor. We stayed for about 20 min and left. It was over
hyped

I went to
Mansion on Memorial Weekend with my girls. It was very nice and
we were cooling out with Jim Jones and Dipset for a while. The
music was good, the drinks were ok, but I was a little upset to
find that a bottle water was almost $6.00. That was outrageous
to me!! I would go back again though, because it's South Beach,
It's so much FUN, and your definitely going to have a ball!! Try
it out, you'll see...

I absolutely
loved the place. I had bought tickets in advance so I walked
right in, no problem. The bouncers did look like they were
giving people a hard time outside though. Tiesto was spinning
inside and I didn't have to buy a drink all night. I have been
all over the world and have never seen so many gorgeous men in
one place. Not a place to go if you are broke.

Me and my
friends were in line for about 5 minutes we decided to leave,
but were stopped by one of the bouncers and let in, we paid the
usual 20 dollars. Mansion is a beautiful place. a lot of
different rooms. And it wasn't true about having to be dressed
in almost nothing to get in cause me and my gurls all looked
nice and pretty covered.

I agree with
Cody from Cleveland, OH. no where to sit. just stand around
looking at VIP. Me and my girl dress nice so the doorman picked
us out and we had no problem getting in. Its a nice club but
like other Miami spots no dance floor. So between no where to
dance and sit its whack to me.

Well I can't
really comment on anything because I never got past the doorman.
After waiting on line for an hour with 2 friends he came up with
some BS about invitations. When clearly no one else in line had
them. When I asked about the invitation I was spoken to like an
idiot.
I was then told by another guy to try a club down the block
where an Mtv person was appearing. Much to my surprise everyone
on that line looked a lot like me and my friends, if you get the
drift. Bottom line, unless you look like the majority don't
waste your time.

This is quite

better come strong with some good looking women or else be stuck
waiting in line pondering how much to tip the guy just to get
past him to then turn around and pay your entry. It won't be a
cheap night but well worth the experience. The club itself is
phenomenal so stack your pockets and give it a try!

Club Mansion
is full of tourists. There's always a long line up. Its very
hard for some people to get in. But I never had a problem
getting in. You really have to dress up. The crowd is
mix...You'll find younger and older rich crowd. Guyz there are
very persistent they will do or say anything to try and get you.
The staff were good. Bartenders are fast and make really good
drinks. So fellaz make sure your pockets are thick when you go
there. Ladies its very easy...

This place was
amazing the first night I went there, didn't have to wait in
line at all, got let right in. The music was the best I've heard
at a club in a long time, great DJ. The people you meet there
are almost all tourists so you meet all kinds of people. This
club is not very good to go with a bunch of people, because you
most likely will slip off by yourself due to the people you'd
meet. I would recommend to people for sure.

I think it is
the best club in Miami, and I would highly recommend it if the
staff wasn't comprised of such [...edited...]. I have never had
a problem getting in, and last night I didn't either. Then, when
I quickly walked outside just to hand my friend her car keys and
a TAMPON, they literally opened the entrance and PUSHED me out.
"She's done. Get her out." What reason did they have to kick me
out? And one of the bouncers even told me to hand my friend the
keys and come right back. Of course, when I confronted him he
became a little pussy in the face of the big bad door men and
pretended he had no idea what I was talking about. For the next
30 minutes they completely ignored me and let me stand right by
the entrance, letting everyone else in except me. Straight up
[...edited...] with no legit reason.

Ok, so I liked
the doormen. He let us cut in line right away because a guy down
the street gave us wrist bands. So we got to cut in line and got
in in a matter of 10 minutes. Another doorman showed us where
the bathrooms were and was very helpful on where everything was
located. The 20 dollars I paid to get in was not worth it. You
have to be god, or know a god to get into the middle. And all
you see is slutty girls begging the guys in the middle to let
them in. Its a distraction when a girl asks you to move out of
her way so she can ask a guy to let her in. I probably wouldn't
go back. The music was alright. They played a lot of old stuff.
I liked how they played the video with the song. It is less then
what I expected. I didn't even bother to get a drink. The bars
were over crowded. All the VIP rooms is a little too much. I
came with a group of about 4 of us, and if you don\'t know
anyone important there, then you pretty much just stay to
yourselves. Everyone there seemed real uptight!

Get over the
negative comments. I didn't think the club was what it was hyped
up to be and it was real expensive...BUT YOU ARE IN MIAMI, so
don't expect to be let in if your not hot, or don't pull up in a
$100,000+ vehicle, because you simply won't get in...that's
Miami, get over it. ;)

This is why
it's hot!!!! I am from Chicago, our clubs are nice. But I have
never seen anything so fabulous as Mansion. Those that posted
negative reviews: Remember ladies first, and you are in Miami
beauty/fashion comes first. So those of you that had to wait in
line next time you know how it works.
The staff was very, very nice ... Especially, the door staff.
(Hey Sexies)! The music had me dancing from the time I walked
in the door. Thank God for gifted DJ's.
Also, being a very observant partier I would like to thank the
staff/bouncers for hauling away those that were sloppy drunk. So
not cute ladies/guys!! By all means Mansion is the place to go
to be amongst the beautiful and getting your party on. Thanks
for a great time. I will be back to party Mansion style before
this year is out.

At 40, I have
been in the South Beach club scene for a while. This location
(1235 Washington Ave) used to be my favorite back in the days of
Club Z, Decos, Paragon. Now Mansion is quite something. Very
elegant, the music is delightful, both the sound systems and the
lights are awesome. I managed to get in pretty easily, the staff
is a bit rude but to some extent understandably, I am planning
to go back as much as possible, it is a great place to dance and
enjoy the sounds of house music.

Not worth it
if you are not a girl, on a list, with friends. I only go with a
bunch of girlfriends. I would never get in with a guy. Drinks
are overpriced. More tourists go there because they hear its
"THE" club to go to in Miami. Don't bother.

I had to wait
less than 30 seconds to get in VIP, even though the regular line
was endless. I was traveling alone from VA so I was very
impressed to get the same treatment at Mansion that I\'d expect
at home. Drinks were a little pricy, $15 for a Jager/red bull,
but it was well worth it. Everyone in there(men and women) were
absolutely beautiful. I did have to show MIA what I was all
about and left with the hands down sexiest man in the club. I
would definitely recommend.

horrible......who the heck does he think he is?.....staff has
major attitude and rude. Most everyone in there looked stoned,

My husband,
his brother and a friend went to mansion on Friday night. We
were at the front of the line and the bouncer never even let us
in. He kept looking over us all the way to the back of the line
and kept picking out other people from the line and letting them
in. When I asked another guy why he was doing this, I was told
they were friends but it was a blatant lie b/c they acted liked
they never even saw each other b4. Our friend asked the bouncer
when he was going to let us in and if we should even bother
waiting since we were already waiting at least 45 mins. He was
totally rude and said it's up to us if we wanted to wait. I went
there a year ago with my husband and cousin and we had no
problem getting in so I don't know what the problem was with
this guy, he was a total jerk. Club Space and the clubs at Hard
Rock are much better.

I went to
Mansion with 5 girls for a bachelorette party in July 2006. It
was a Saturday night. We got there and got to skip the line b/c
the bouncer knew we were there for a party. It was $20 to get in
but so worth it. The Hip Hop room was smaller and pretty
crowded. The House room was awesome and the DJ was great. I love
house music and this place was fab. You have to go VIP though-
so keep that in mind. There is no real place to dance if you
aren't VIP. The only other negative was that my friend\'s purse
was stolen off out table in VIP and the waitress (who was making
a small fortune off of us) didn't even try to help us find it or
tell us where to go and ask if it would be if someone was nice
enough to turn it in.

I visit South
Beach once a year for the past 5 years and I must say Mansion
has got it going on. I don't know what some of these people are
thinking with some of these negative reviews. You are in South
Beach people! Of course you are going to have to dress up to go
out and you might have to wait in line because they are letting
"beautiful people" in first. Give me a break, this is why I go
to South Beach and this club exemplifies everything I like about
it. The club décor is very nice, the music is slammin and the
vibe inside is one of a kind. This is a must stop if you like
dancing and you like to have a good time. Nuff said.

My boyfriend
and I are (new) locals and it was our first time there. We got
wristbands from a promoter and stood in line about 20 mins.
(The doorman lets people based on attractiveness, apparently).
We paid $20 p.p to get in and then $11
for a vodka/cranberry. The music was ok...I loved the rap/R&B,
rock music, but the techno was awful...the DJ used a loud
blowhorn several times throughout the night I guess to
compliment the music, but it was awful to listen to.
The people in the club where
fine, but a little crowded. Staff kept walking through the
crowd selling cigars, I felt that that ruined the vibe a little
bit because you had to stop dancing to let them through.
They atmosphere was cool,
better then any club I've been to.
Overall, I wouldn't make this a
regular club I will go to, but I may save it for a special
occasion when I plan on spending half my paycheck on a good
night out.

My friend and
I went on a Wednesday night. I was expecting more from Mansion
based on the length of the line and the huge crowd hanging
outside its doors. I waited for a good 20-30 minutes before
getting in despite having gotten a wristband form a promoter who
told us to ask for a staff member at the door.
We paid a $20
cover and let in 2 random guys b/c at that point the staff were
only letting women in. Staff was ok, not as unfriendly as other
reviews make them seem. Maybe because of how we were dressed....
we saw many dressed-down girls wearing shorts and flip-flops,
while we wore skirts and 3-inch stilettos.
The crowd was
mixed... many Latinos and Europeans, which was great for me as
that's my preferred crowd. The music wasn't all that great.
Hip-hop and RnB was ok. Techno was horrible with people not
dancing to it, just standing around with drinks in hand.
We got
invited to VIP a couple of times and got some numbers, but
experience overall wasn't great b/c of the mediocre music. We
went a second time on Thursday b/c it was free and the third
time on Saturday b/c a friend wanted to go there. Those two
times proved to be worse than the first and to think they were
on days when most people go partying. I personally wouldn't
recommend it.

(Remember
to bring some serious cash for this club--drinks are about $12 +
tip, and cover is something like $30.)

I went to the
Mansion doing my Spring Break the 22nd of March 06.
A friend of mine was told to contact someone at the door
to get in faster, and after a little searching
he found the guy and for $15 we, 4 persons
plus 2 random girls got in fast. I
guess $20 is normal for such a club but $7 for a bottle of water
is too much for a poor student. I think the house/lounge music
was superb and the women where WORLD CLASS!!! Nothing less...
The bad experiences I had was
few, but is it really hard for a doorman to tell one where to
find a restroom? I guess. if you wanna
get drunk this place you have to pay A
LOT!!! BUT!! Cool place and nice
dancing girls and great atmosphere.

I flew in from
Jersey to visit a friend.. we drove a little more than an hour
to a hotel near by, then over to Mansion. I'm used to waiting in
line for quite a while, partying in Manhattan and Philly... but
we only waited in line for maybe 5 minutes, then we were shown
to a table. We really enjoyed our night. The music was great,
the drinks were even better, and the company was hot. The only
MINOR problem we had was that some
girl was dancing on the table behind us, number one, she had no
underwear on, and two.. she spilled a drink on us... other than
that everything was amazing. Can't wait to visit again!

After days of
waiting 40mins to get into clubs that are half full all week, me
and my friends decided that on this night we would book a table
at the famous MANSION nightclub. now we have came all the way
from England and heard about this club, so the concierge in the
intercontinental downtown, booked this table for us, which came
to a total of $2200 for seven of us.
We arrive at the club, and told to que up in a vip queue,
after ten minutes. We were told to move to another queue,
which wasn't a queue at all, it
was just a lot of people outside, trying to get into the club.
After explaining to one of the staff that we had a table booked,
they said yeah just wait two minutes. After another 15
minutes, the girl who took our booking
approached us and asked what name the
table was booked it in and took the credit card.
By this time
we patience was running thin, and started to become frustrated,
as people who hadn't booked a table in
advance but new people on the door were cruising
past us. Which is not good business.
Then it eventually hit us
that its because these people were spending more money than us,
so they where waiting to see what's
left before they gave us our table. Eventually when we did
inside and trying to keep up with the member of staff that was
guiding us through the rammed club club to our table.
When we
did get to the table, it wasn't
in the main area. IT WAS THE BACK ROOM
were they were playing some off key music. when the drink came
to the table we were offered 3 bottles of Moet
champagne, and two bottles of Hypnotic,
and then the waitress had the check to ask for her tip. Me
personally, wasn't gonna give her anything, but as it
wasn't her fault and she was
apologetic about our wait, we tipped her a little something.

After waiting
in line for 30 minutes they give us
the privilege of paying $20 bucks a person...and by the way, it
is a minimum of $300 to actually sit down anywhere, (you must
purchase V.I.P service) and no, normally I wouldn't
even want to sit down, but when they started to play "Love
Shack" I knew that this place was WAY overrated.
ALL the
bathrooms were gross and had completely run out of paper
towels...men's
and ladies rooms....And RUDE STAFF!!! I was standing next to a
poor girl that was being ignored by the bartender, he finally
got her drink, and when she handed him the cash, he leaned
forward and said "this doesn't include my tip"!!!! Here's your
F**King tip buddy!!! I couldn't
believe it. I was hoping for some cutting edge SoBe music and
drinks and we left after 1 hour to go to AUTOMATIC SLIMS across
the street and it was way better. I think all these clubs are
WAY OVERRATED!!!!

I was on the guest list, but still had
to make the regular line. Once I got
to the front where they had the list, the guy tells my boyfriend
to tuck in his shirt, and then points me towards some chick with
a clipboard that hardly spoke English
and hardly knew what I was talking about. We finally get in, and
the drinks were expensive the music was whatever.. overall it
was nothing special... I thought it would be better but it was
like any other club

Courtesy of my
boyfriend I flew to Florida. It was my first time anywhere
south, basically, and Miami was my main destination. My
boyfriend and I were driving down the highway when we heard over
the radio about a concert that was being held. It just so
happened to be Sean Paul who was holding a live performance on
Jan. 23/06 at the night club, Mansion, in South Beach.
Well, first of all... I had
just seen my first palm tree a couple days prior and the fact
that I was in Florida was still sinking in; secondly, I was
staying at my boyfriends cousins house, who is a millionaire, so
we definitely had it made the whole time we were there; thirdly,
Sean Paul is an amazing artist and I have never seen him live
and would be more than honoured to; and last but not least, it
was my 21st Birthday and I was in South Beach!
Now... I found out about this
appearance last minute, so I wasn't really dressed accordingly I
guess you could say, but.. I didn't really care at that point, I
was there to celebrate and have a good time. That I did.
Although, the staff could have been a bit more friendlier. Other
than that... it was definitely a night, as
well as a vacation to remember.

I had a very
bad experience at Mansion on New Year's Eve. I paid $4000 for a
table for 10 and my group was shown to a table for 2. After
arguing for 20 minutes, I managed to get a slightly bigger table
for 4. To add insult to injury, they double charged my credit
card and refuse to return the money. Beware of this venue!

I was there on
Sunday night January 15th 2006. It was a three day weekend
because of MLK Jr's B-Day on Monday. I
was walking along the street and someone gave me a wristband
that said VIP and told me that I could get right in to Mansion
without waiting in line. It was about 1 AM or so. I did get
right in and paid my 20$ to a gorgeous young lady who
told me that I looked good. The place
was packed with about 1000 people. There must have been 500 or
600 people dancing on the dance floor. There was still plenty of
room to walk around, as there are many different rooms. It was
easy to get a drink, and the bartenders were really nice. The
music was great, and everyone was friendly and cool. This is a
great club, one of the best I have ever been to. Don't believe
the negative reviews on this website. Mansion is the place to
be. I look forward to going back soon.

late of course! I love hip hop so this was the place to be. The
outside is very misleading as to how extravagant the club is
inside! I was very satisfied! I'm going back this weekend. It
was only $20 to get in, but as soon as we got in people invited
us into VIP so we got our money's
worth! Great place to be!!!

The door staff
left such a negative vibe on my friends and I that experiencing
what the club had to offer was not an option. There is a
certain level of professionalism and respect that should be
given to paying patrons. The door staff did not even exceed the
minimal requirements. The appearance of gaining access was that
you had to know someone who works for the club. Vacationers do
not waste your time and money trying to gain access. In
addition the party goers were immature and cliquish.

The staff would not let me in. They

Bottom line, do not go there unless You have a million dollar
wardrobe or know someone because it is a waste of time.
