CLUB ETIQUETTE, PART 1: THE DOOR

The do's and don'ts of how to act before you get into the club (which might help you get in, or explain why you haven't been getting in before now).

For better or for worse, I’ve worked with/been frequenting NYC’s clubs for a little over ten years now. My relationship with ~the nightclub~ has evolved over the years (I used to be a full-on club rat and go out almost nightly, which I don’t recommend and tbh am embarrassed by) and I’m frankly not really into “the scene” as a whole at this point, but it’s still a part of my life. About half my friends work in clubs (in fact, even my dog, Slayer, works the door from time to time, as seen in The Cut), so I somewhat regularly visit them at work, and find myself under a disco ball bopping my head to the tune of Abba/Drake whilst sipping on a vodka soda and dodging flying elbows until a little too late in the morning.
