I too was there for the launch night and have met the woman-in-question who was on the door a few times before at other Bacchus events. I have to say if it wasn't for her, the night MIGHT have been on track to become good. Loud, obnoxious and a complete power-freak - she saw people she knew in the crowd and put them before anyone else, VIP or not. She could not control a crowd if her life depended on it. Bacchus, please, if you read this, get someone else to do her job! The actual club itself screams "glamour" louder than anything else I've been to. Dark colours infused with the shine of the mirrors and the awfully bright dancefloor make your eyes hurt at times - I wonder what being drunk feels like in there! Sometimes it feels like these places are trying too hard to be the next "place to go" in London, and sometimes it works - unfortunately, Vendome does not manage to pull this off quite so well as other places. The drink list was definitely reserved for those with obscene amounts of money to spend - £30,000 for a bottle of Cristal?! £3,000 for a bottle of Krug?! £250 for a bottle of Absolut?! I couldn't see how much a simple softdrink would have cost, but I can imagine it would have been about £4, which for a Mayfair club is about the average but seriously, you could go about 2 tube stops down the road and get beers and cocktails for £4 - which are probably given to you with much more love and enthusiasm than the staff in Vendome do. The clientele were a mix of fashionistas, socialites, wealthy businessmen and the occasional C-list celeb. The atmosphere was, I have to admit, not too bad - but the whole thing had a stench of "plastic"...a world for those who want to try to life the life of an A-lister. All in all, not a place I would recommend. However, being the launch night I can understand there might be a few problems that can be ironed out. I just don't plan on going to back to check if they have.
