SP Nitelife Review - Platinum Broadbeach
New SP Adventures segment!
Surf Park rates drinking locations around the Gold Coast....
That's right! Surf Park residents act as 'mystery boozers' in order investigate the highs and lows of Gold Coast nightlife
First up we have a club which was first visited by the majority of the Surf Park crew last week reviewed by G-Dog Da Kiwi
#1 - PLATINUM
Location: Platinum Nightclub, Victoria Ave (Broadbeach Mall), Broadbeach
Date visited: Thursday 31 August 2006 (Friday was a public holiday)
Time Visited: 10:30pm - Sunrise
Attendees: Dog, Pirate, Boris, Winnie, Fot, Eriksen, Toots, Cassi, Fots mate Luke
Background: The crew had heard that there were at least 4 top DJs spinning tracks at Platinum on the Thursday night, hence giving a perfect reason to decline offers to head to the usual drinking spots in Surfers Paradise. Platinum was also within walking distance, and the Friday being a public holiday and lack of Gold Coast taxis this was a massive bonus.
The DJs lineup included Dirty South, Mr Timothy (T-Funk), Vandalism and John Course. These guys play regularly at Sydney and Melbournes best clubs, and play some killer beats. The cover charge of $25 dollars was reasonably high, however with a lineup of DJs second to none, Surf Park was expecting this. The queue went quickly and before we could say "giggity giggity goo" we were at the bar sticking whatever we could down our throat.... including alcohol such as coronas.
The joint was packed, but not too overcrowded with plenty of happy party people. Soon we were off our face! There were chics aplenty, the majority of them busting a move on the dance floor. Soon we were all charging.... everyone was charging..... except Toots who more than made up for it by her over drinking.
There were cheers from the boys every new DJ, and louder cheers when scantily clad women hopped up on the podium.... and even louder cheers when winnie made it up on the podium. By 1am the place was pumping, and Surf Parks visit was far from over as everyone was in a happy place, grooving and boozing the night away. There was some random texting was done amongst the boys ("We Found Boris!") and before long all were on the dance floor giving 100%. Rage Against the Machine made it into one of the DJ lineups which pleased the retro rockers of Surf Park. Mr Brightside was also a hit form the majority of the crew. The mystery boozers ended circa 5am upon which everyone stumbled home (except toots and cassi who took a taxi.... boooo!)
Winny Enjoying some tunes
Ratings:
Location 7/10 - a short stroll from Surf Park... no taxis required... but if this club failed other bars are too far away
Queue 8/10 - Small-ish queue but went quickly, was good considering a big night
Cover charge 6/10 - $25 is very steep but was kinda worth it considering the line-up
Music 10/10 - we picked a good night for music, strong tunes
Drink Prices 5/10 - very expensive for beers ($7 - $9) but was expected. Smirnoff Blacks ($8) were the best option.
Females 9/10 - a worthy showing by the females of the Gold Coast.... nice work girls!
Number of Patrons 8/10 - a lot of people but not too crowded
Chances of picking up 6/10 - not a bad chance if you are willing to do a bit of work... which is against Surf Park's nature
Toilets 9/10 - this reviewer was impressed! Spacious and pretty clean
Fit Out 7/10 - Not bad, new cocktail room, plenty of sofas to chill out on, spacious dance floor. Could use a better air-con system
TOTAL: 75 / 100
Toot-i before it all went pear shaped
Conclusion: Platinum threw up a great night out!All time indeed, smiles were platered on our faces for days. It was good to stroll out for once, and the music and chics were great. Definitely worth another visit on a standard night when the cover charge isn't so steep and there are normal DJs. A normal night shows the true character of a drinking spot, but so far so good for Platinum!
