What makes a Club, Bar, or Lounge Experience Great

This is the second part of a multi-part series on what makes a club, bar, or lounge experience great...

The last part of this series talked about bottle service, getting on the guest list (guestlist), and the music. This section will focus on travel arrangements to and from the night club:

Travel:
In Orange County, like any other county, there is a plethora of travel arrangements you can make for your travel to and from the night club. I've seen everything from a London double decker bus to a $1 million car (the Bugatti). Although at most upscale lounges, bars, or clubs you'll find anything from a Mercedes C 300 to a Honda Accord. Making the best travel arrangements can really raise the bar on the type of experience you'll have. There are the standards: the Lincoln Towncar limo, the Hummer limo, and a normal taxi cab. For the cheapest, you'll most likely be looking at the taxi cab. However, if you and a group of friends, who also have a little cash to spend, want to do it right, your best bet is a large limo such as a Navigator or Hummer limo. They fit about 30 strong and can pack all the booze you need on the ride to the club, bar or lounge and all the seating for passing out on the ride home. For about $50-$60 a person, you can enjoy a night without anyone worrying about being the sober driver and a limo full of booze, as the $50-$60 person estimate can cover both the limo cost and some additional liquor. Not only does it give you and your closest group of friends a convenient and classy way to travel to the club, it also encourages sober driving (Please, No DUI's) and provides you with the perfect pre-party on the way to the night club, bar, or lounge. Most times, club promoters encourage such travel and will get everyone in free that's in the limo. The thinking of the promoter is that if these people have enough to pay for a nice limo ride, they'll be spending nicely at the bar as well (i.e., bottle service).

The only precautions to take are those that come with the drinking and not from the actual limo. Many times people can't handle the pre partying in the limo and a full night of clubbing so be prepared for a few too many drunk people. Just have those buckets handy for the ride home because it can become a real bumpy ride if the room is spinning.

Overall this mode of transportation fits best if you and your group are looking for a great night out on the town without the hassles of carpooling, sober drivers, etc. Finding the best limo company can be troublesome as we here at Mix Armada have found people using companies that have provided less than good quality service (including used glasses and broken items prior to being picked up). However, most limo companies do their best to provide clean and safe transportation to the venues.

Don't forget, if you're too drunk and aren't in such a limo, please take a cab/taxi. Mix Armada strongly promotes sober drivers and the use of taxis or cabs if someone has had too much to drink.

(Mix Armada can arrange for such limo services as well as other transportation for your adventures to and from the night club, bar, or lounge. See Mixarmada.com or call (877) OC-CLUBS for more details.)
