Crash Trash and Weekend Bash! Riverside, Friday

[mandy6488]

Ah, I was going to say the area it's located doesn't seem all that bad. It's within walking distance from my work and I've never felt like I've had to be more on my guard around here than normal.

But it still sounds like some of the people there could have been nicer to you guys.


Mandy let's face it, Laylas has better hookahs. Now if they would only not charge so much for drinks.

Oh I love Layla's hookahs (I almost wrote hookers there, wtf?). I loved Layla's when we had Nick hooking us up!  Now I spend $40 when I'm there each time. ::sigh::

Stephen.. I will get them on flicker asap.. once dj free played duran duran.. I knew it was gonna be a good night...

Speaking of, how far out will the club crawl reach? It would be...interesting to see a review of a place like Plush or the Globe, (all of which I haven't been to in nearly half decade). But maybe as a last resort, when you run out of places around here. Jax Beach seems like it should be one of next areas on the list, there's no shortage of places to review there.

Oh wow, I can't even imagine walking back into Plush or Bourbon Street... but I do sometimes wonder what they are like now. It's been years!

I wonder if we could get the old 98 crew to go on a nice little reminiscing trip to Plush..hehe  I'd be interested to see if we look super old compared to the rest of the crowd or if it's aged at all..

Er, and by 98 crew I mean Rachel and Brett could come too, of course.. =D

And since it's 98, after Plush it's on to Evolutions from 2 - 6 am.

I would also recommend spending more time in less places. While you can get a sense of some bars within seconds, I don't feel that spending less then 30 mins in some bars is sufficient to really appreciate them. I love the articles as I don’t get out much anymore and it is good to see the variety that Jacksonville has to offer.

[Christopher Byron Phillip]

Yes we should be spending more time in less places.....I think Stephen was trying to challenge us....
Ooh, and just for the record, I'm not semi-conservative or on the prowl (although I may look the part)
Where to next Stephen?

[Bewler]

Yeah a good example of this is Wallstreet. I've always really liked the place but it can be almost depressing if you get there too early.

[Jennifer Browning]

They actually had a good time at InCahoots, I think Jennifer was just a little scared of the neighborhood and the consequences of photography!

InCahoots was a lot of fun.... I just didn't like the neighborhood that much, and the consequences of my bathroom shots were quite unnerving, but, it's okay.

Good reviews!   I'd like to see an address or something with each of the bars/clubs though.  Amazingly enough, there are some places that were reviewed that I have never even heard of.  Ok, maybe just one place so far: InCahoots.  I gathered that it was a gay bar, which is probably why I have never heard of it, but just as an example I have no idea where that place is.   Just saying that addresses of these places would be nice!  

One other thing would be nice would to have something specifying things like orientation.  Id hate to plan a night out at a place just to get there and find out that it is a gay bar...  (no offense obviously, but, well... you know.)    It seems like there are some major things that should be specified.

Adding the addresses is a great idea!  Thank you!

hah what's going on with the logo to the crash/trash weekend bash article? scooby doo, hellboy? hahahhahaha. Nice! I like it.

[Ernest Street]

Word has spread!  "The JB Bathroom Cam" has inadvertently helped clean up restrooms all over Jax!
Club owners beware! Your bathroom could be next onstage.   ......(Wow, Kickbacks was pretty bad..)

[mtraininjax]

Wow, Kickbacks was pretty bad

It normally is, sorry Steve, but how freakin hard is it for you or Mikey to clean the damn bathroom, or make it part of the staff's responsibility. Sure people pull items off the wall or punch holes in the wall, but dude, your clientele is not the normal Ritz-Carlton patron. The bathrooms were cleaner when Pete and Rebecca ran the place, fix the bathrooms, or we might as well use the street as our toilet.....wait.....some at 2 am do that....not good.

I want to address your review of InCahoots Nightclub. I've been going to InCahoots for a couple years now, and have a problem with a couple of the things you said about it and the Gay bar community as a whole.  First of all, your comment about this bar being on the corner of "Crackrock & Attempted Auto Theft" was WAY OUT OF LINE & inaccurate. I'm sure the businesses of BCBS, Fidelity Bank, Everbank, The Art Gallery, The Daycare or the other Businesses wouldn't appreciate your slanderous comments about their neighborhood! The  streets are very well lit up & the club always has 1-2 security guards in the parking lots to show you where to park and direct you to the club. How is that a "Dark Creepy Street"?  Why were you so scared?  Next you mentioned next the food vendor....  well just so you know, me and many other InCahoots regulars have been known to stop by there on other nights after parting elsewhere just to get that "fried" food you mentioned!!  It's awesome! Next, how about an accuracy check....  Last time I checked there were 4 bars there not the 3 you mentioned. You had to walk right past it to get to the bathroom. Which is another problem I have!  Your article made mention of the owner coming after you to see what was in your camera, like it was a bad thing. I feel reassurred that she did come after you and wasn't ok about the fact that you were taking pictures in the bathroom! (Now that to me is creepy!) Next time you should Let the owner know that you are taking a picture of the bathrooms and have an employee there so you don't scare the hell out of the customers like you did! In Closing I have 2 questions???   Why is there an 18 yr old on your staff reviewing clubs when he's barely old enough to get in them.... What experience can he possible have?  AND WHAT THE HELL IS HOMEFRIED GAY DISCO HOUSE??  Inquiring Gay minds wanna know??

This page was forwarded to me from a friend about Incahoots, and i felt the need to respond.
Lets start off by saying that Incahoots got the highest rating along with Kickbacks of all the clubs that were rated in riverside.  How is that your comments were so derogatory? Your assessment of the location and the parking set up was really over-dramatized(drama queen???).  This review seems very unprofessional.  You referred to Karrissa as a bitch for doing her job and  giving your barely- legal colleague a canned soda as is their policy.  Him being thin skinned about his age shows he has no business in a club to begin with.
As far as the owner's way of handling your whole bathroom trauma, i applaud her diligence in ensuring her patron's privacy, and frankly i would be quite upset to walk out of a stall and find someone taking pictures of the bathroom that i was in. 
And I too am curious what home fried gay disco house is?  The music is awesome and the dance floor is always packed. By the way. the shrimp,chicken strips,wings and pork chops ROCK!!!!!!!
