Onyx Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 I haven't been to the club in over two months due to various things (mainly just being really down and not feeling like going out). Now I'm hearing the place smells like urine, and old urine that has been left there to boot. I'm used to it being dirty, but this is just a little too much. WTF? Can we do anything at all about this? I am seriously sickened by this because there are a lot of cityclub people I like to see, DGNers and others I know from there who are not likely to make the change to another club. gawd. Maybe I've got to give up the place if I have to walk through urine to socialize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollardave Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 I didn't smell nothing last time I went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unchaste Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 I think it may just be the men's bathroom. I went Friday & Saturday last weekend, I smelled no urine. I have a good nose, too. If there was urine afoot, I would know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Hearts Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Firstly, there are plenty of reasons to not frequent the City Club...but just because "urine" is in the title of this thread, I'll share what I have in that area: If you can stomach standing nearer than 3 feet from the urinals in the Lab, I say you deserve it. Go on upstairs, because the Lab's restroom has been neglected for at least year, by the pungent odor emanating from the urinals and toilets. The amount of ammonia from piss will literally make your eyes water if you get any closer than 3 feet. Once you're upstairs, you might want to avoid the perma-damp floor in the City Club restroom all together and just have a piss in a corner around the dance floor because...yes, people do that there. I noticed this happening last Friday and guess what? On Saturday, you could still tell where it happened, if you know what I'm saying. Classy joint.

ZhukovCodeslinger Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 ..... urine schmurine :-P its not so hard to ignore.... if you are not standing in it... OR Just make sure its your urine, because just like fart smell, your urine always smells worse to someone else... thats been my strategy for years....

Paper Hearts Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 I think we should make a poll...'do you like urine or don't you', so that people can decide if the Ramada at Cass & Bagley is the right place for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce Critter Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 I saw the reference to this in another thread. And I thought to myself, "I've been back to CC 4 times in the past 4 weeks, and never did I smell urine anywhere". I just don't. And even the so-called horribly horrible restrooms haven't been near what people like to complain about. There's even a steady supply of toilet paper in the ladies' room stalls now - that's a major improvement over the entire 15 or so years I've been going there now. All I can say is, "CC - only the strong survive". CBGB's is going to be closed soon as their attempts to renew their lease have been fruitless. One classic punk club down, I guess. Hate to see the same thing happen to CC. Really. This is going to turn into another "why I hate CC/why I love CC" thread, that's obvious already. It's just not the right place for some I guess. I have no plans to stop going after 15 years. But then again, my favorite types of places to go tend toward the hardcore. I'm not much for glitzy, shiny happy clubs. So I'll see you at CC, The Old Miami, The Hamtramck Pub, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holliwood66 Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 LOL - ahh, the Old Miami. My first punk band used to play there all the time...I have some pretty amuzing tales if you ever ask CC: I can only stand that place once or twice a year tops. Besides that, I am used to the grime...and it is much more clean than it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Hearts Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Oh and don't take a man's hand or let him buy you a drink there, because there are no paper towels/soap in the City Club Men's room. Again, liking/not liking piss is a learned behavior and it's entirely my opinion, but I have an averision to urine. Sorry if that's offensive to any of you.

Head Wreck Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 i used to go to a club called the zone (they closed it down now. and the brothel on the floor above... just for you to get the feel of the place) mens and womens toilets. i dont think anyone cared. they were both swimming and minus cubicle doors. i remeber one day thay actually put toilet tissue rolls up. and there was a comment on the co0mments board on the way in/out "nice stuff this toilet paper, could we have doors next week?". infact the place was so much of a dive that when they took the steel cladding of the windows to do the renovation (its now a classy bar/hotel) a friend (who isnt into the music scene) said; damn the builders made a mess of that, look at those walls erm... no thats how it normaly was. i think they cleaned up actually i miss that place. perfect floorplan and couches (though check with UV light before sitting...). the club that took over has nowhere to sit and you cant escape the speaker cabs except in the fourth room, the chill out room (AKA swansea elitist fuck room, you need to be a 16 year old pillhead emo kid to be able to find a seat. or have our reputation for grabbing people and moving them out of the way).

Nienna Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 I go almost every weekend and have only smelled piss in the stairwell on the way in, and just outside the men's bathroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Game of Chance Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Nothing beats the old Red Door when it was open down at Cass & Willis. 2 bathrooms, count them two. One was very bright with lots of mirrors everywhere. One was literally a hole in the floor. Guess which one I'd use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarrIL Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Let's see.... urine.... Nope, cant say I've smelled any Liquid human-waste anywhere. The only liquid I be smelling is beer. Yum. Fierce Critter is right, they've been keeping a steady supply of toilet paper in the ladies bathroom. Now all they need now is paper towels and a decent supply of liquid soap. The worst I've seen, or heard, was A: A guy in platform boots stomping on a cup of beer, therefore making a mess. B: A guy last year around Hallowe''en asked me if I had any Extacy on me and I obviously said no. And dat's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bean Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 The ladies room had really improved over the years, all the stalls have doors and there is t.p..... Walking past the men's bathroom, though, I have noticed a funk (learn to aim, bitches! :laughing ). There has been a few times where I have seen people pee/vomit in the corners of the dance floor area...nasty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it used to be a Blues bar, and it only became adopted by the punk scene out of a desperate attempt to stay afloat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilith Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 I have not smelled pee and i was there tis past friday. I have noticed a good supply of TP in the ladies room and the general appearance fo the ladies room seems to be "atleast they tried" I did notice a bit of a funk from the mens room but i hate to tell you all this, every mens room in any bar smells BAD no matter how well the staff keeps it up. I have worked in so many places and i have seen Pro cleaners come in and i have seen joe smoe clean the rest rooms and no matter what the mens room allways stinks, even at 11:00 a.m befor a place opens.
