Rendezvous, the nightclub in Statler City, is one year old this week. To celebrate, there will be no cover, an open bar, and hors d'oeuvres from 10 pm to midnight Wednesday night, traditionally one of Buffalo's busiest bar nights.
The 12,000 sq.ft. club in the Statler's lower level has had a busy first year. A popular happy hour venue and weekend hot spot, Rendezvous has hosted a number of internationally acclaimed DJ's since opening including Ferry Corsten, Carl Cox, Eddie Halliwell, and Paul Oakenfold. German DJ, musician and producer of electronic dance music, ATB (Andre Tanneberger) will be appearing Thursday night.
ATB is known for his single "9PM (Till I Come)" and also his eight studio albums, six "in the mix" compilations, his "Sunset Beach DJ Session" compilation and a total of four DVDs, he is one of the most famous international electronic music artists. Joining ATB Thanksgiving evening is Rudee, aka Josh Gallahan, also from Germany.
Tickets for Thursday are $20 in advance and ages 21+ only. Ticket information here.
Rendezvous... what a joke. It's safe to say that after a year, it hasn't quite become "the Miami, Las Vegas-style club" you touted it as, huh, Mark? Cash-grab/banquet hall Statler's only redeeming quality is the shuffle board table in Lobby Bar.
I totally agree. I was there the night it opened and though, wow this place could be huge. The bar was stacked with hot bartenders, and I'm pretty sure some of the people there were paid to make and appearance. Other than that, this club is still the nicest club in Buffalo, but it lacks the type of demographic you need to give it a big city feel. Ps invite a couple UB sororities to party there for free once night a week and watch that place explode.
I'd take a bartender with personality and void of snottitude over a 'hot' bartender any day. Maybe it was just the days I went.
So being hot makes them a snob? Way to reinforce the stereotype.
The bartenders I've encountered at rendezvous were cold and snobbish the few times I've been there. So in this case, yes. Hot isn't enough.
