    I'm glad these places exist. It ensures the douchebags stay away from the places where I like to go.

    It's simply a matter of reverse diffusion-- as the concentration of douchebags increases in just a few new "hotspots" it decreases everywhere else, and that is a wonderful thing.

    Wow, all this is happening less than 10 miles from Callahan's General Store and less than 3 miles from Jim and Dee's.

    Hey guys! I just wanted to pop over and put in my $.02 about this place! I think some of you guys are being way too harsh! Pangaea looks like a really awesome place to take Fortune 500 chicks and do some awesome networking! I might have to take a trip down to the ATX when it opens! I'll probably be able to expense it, you know, because my company is so successful and all! Alright, dudes, I'll see you guys later!

    So I went by on Sat night and I must say, the place is pretty ******* pimp. The velvet rope and gaggle of "security" is pretty gd stupid, but that was the only downside, imo. Tons of you will ***** about the shiny shirt/$200 jeans crowd, but you aren't the type that like clubs like this anyway. It was the funnest night life experience I have seen in Austin in a long time. The DJ was awesome and everyone was dancing and having a great time.

    That said, I don't have a clue how that environment can be replicated week in, week out. Everyone seemed to be excited about the new place and enjoying it, but how long before it just becomes Foundation and that high energy and excitement is forced and not natural?

    They are also going to have to cut back severely on overhead. Shitload of dancing girls (rumor I heard was that they are Russian mail order chicks) and security at the door. Maybe 8 guys at the door when 1 or 2 would do. Funny thing about the velvet rope and line outside...the club is pretty damn big inside, and it was full. I rolled up at 11:45/12 or so and was able to get in w/i a minute or two. So how freakin exclusive is it?

    Lots of good bar staff from some of the more successful bars in town as well.

    All in all, a pretty cool club that could stand to tone down it's ego.

    We were pretty dressed up for a friend's birthday party saturday night (jacket & sub-$200 jeans), and one of my boys works there, so we decided to try it out. Once we rolled up to the door (no sign - ooooo ultra-exclusive!), saw the velvet rope, security frowning at guestlists, and the dbags standing in line IN FULL SUITS, we decided to take our money elsewhere. A jacket I can deal with, but suits? I wanted to go Billy Walsh on their asses!

    Hmm...I was wearing a polo type shirt, my bud a tshirt and our chicks had casual dresses on. Nothing big time in the slightest.

    Any place described as "pimp" I avoid.

    Saw this featured on local news last night. That Ault guy was holding a little white dog and stroking him during the interview.

    sorry excuse for a place. I could see some place like this being in Dallas or Houston. Just a place to generally avoid in my book. I want some place I can sip a Shiner in my jeans and boots, or flip flops....

    Pangaea claims its first victim:

    "KXAN news anchor Michelle Valles was arrested early today on a charge of driving while intoxicated, authorities said.

    Austin police stopped Valles around 2 a.m. at 1500 W. Cesar Chavez St. near MoPac Boulevard (Loop 1), said Travis County Sheriff’s spokesman Roger Wade.

    She was seen last night at the press preview of the new high-end bar Pangaea after the 10 p.m. broadcast. Pangaea, which is on Colorado Street at the former Alamo Downtown location, opens tonight to the public."

    it was packed, loud and absolutely full of hot chicks. I didn't see shiny shirts or frosted tips.

    it's clearly not a place for everyone, but that does not mean it's a bad bar. I didn't have to wait in line like the proletariat so maybe my perspective is a little skewed, however the place was pretty amazing.

    I will say that I honestly am not sure if this type of place will continue after the hype, but I had a good time.

    let me repeat that this place had the hottest collection of women I've seen in a long while

    Meh.

    From those pics, looks like about 3 pretty hot chicks, about 12-15 decent looking coke-whores, a bunch of older or unattractive fatties, and an assload of douchebags.

    Having been in LA and Las Vegas the last 2 weekends I'm really not all that psyched about the new "hot club" in Austin.

    man, that slideshow did zero justice for the *** that was there. Keep in mind that every one of those pics were taken outside the club, and not the actual people inside.

    agreed that there was plenty of douchebaggery going on in those pics. I guess I wasn't paying attention to the dudes and didn't really notice.

    the chick on the right in pic 3 went to high school with me. She didn't have those tits then I assure you.

    after going through that slideshow I am now officially bored with fake tits. Looks like a lot of them must have driven down from uptown for the opening

    Ok so I finally went last night. The first thing I will say is that everyone REALLY needs to calm down. The people in my group wore anything from slacks and a jacket to jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt and it was no big deal. The club overall is very upscale and modern on the inside but in a much more classy manner than Qua. Its subtly classy where Qua is ostentatious. Drinks ARE expensive but I think they are about the same or maybe $0.50 more than say Gruv, Prague, or The Marq. Further, a bottle of Goose (we didn't get one) goes for $275 which seems about normal for Austin as opposed to $375-$450 in LA and $400-$525 in Vegas. Other than one rhythmless gogo dancer, I had a good time and by midnight there were quite a few hot girls in the place when every other spot in downtown was dead-ish

    Unpainted - we're talking about Reyfes, arent we? I'm willing to bet you a round of shots thats him.
