What People Are Saying About Shampoo

In Short – Shampoo has many rooms for many moods: The huge, main dance hall includes four bars and state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems; the smaller White Room allows a more select crowd to groove to disco classics; the plush Velvet Underground is reserved strictly for VIPs. In the summer, a tent-covered outdoor area called the Groove Garden provides patio furniture, an extra DJ, a Jacuzzi and (most welcome of all) a bit of fresh air. – –

Rude, Trashy, Definitely better places to party

by specialk79

Definitely don't go if you're Indian and if you wear a Turban you better have lots of patience. Stupid rules and stupider people working there. You would expect some sort of class from an individual working at a Club since they see so many people on a continuous basis but all you get is a bunch of Rude black guys, with their do rags and backwards baseball caps giving you attitude when none is needed.

I realize these guys are in the pinnacle of their employment and take their jobs seriously... or they're just fed up being a loser and try to put down everyone else.

I'm thinking it's the latter... so if you can then avoid this place, its dark, smelly, and not that great of an atmosphere. But if you're 18 then its one of the flew 18 and over clubs and you probably have no choice.

I'd take G Lounge on 17th and Sansom over this place in a heart beat...

  • Pros: Well Parking! cause it's in a not so great part of town
  • Cons: The bouncers are rude, arrogant, just plain not nice

Trendsters...READ HERE!!

by saturdaynites

Wednesday nights_NOCTURNE: Djs, are cool, from 9-11pm, u-call-it $3 drinks, good music but thats all to it. The people are rude, they stick together like a cult. Drama hill from here on out. If your looking to have a good time with your OWN friends, then this place is for you, other than that the drinks and music would be the only reason to go.

  • Pros: Good music and lighting, drink specials
  • Cons: people

Great to just dance- less than classy--trashhhyyy and def gettoo

by Philacupcake

Never take your NY friends there 4 sure...its getto and trashy....the bathroom is a disaster....if you are a female go with friends or BEWARE the guys will grab at you, touch you and there are always a couple really creepy old men there :o just staring.

Pros: multiple rooms with various music...you have choice. the Djs can be pretty good.

Cons: The bouncers grab your crotch (if youre male) and your chest (if youre female), might catch a disease because its packed and sweaty, i think its about $20 just to enter and if they are having a bad night u lost ur $$$, best time to come is about 11:30-12:00 but closes at 2am...so kinda expensive. Hard to find parking and someone might break into your car (happened to me). Bad neighborhood. O and sometimes the waiting line is ridiculous.

If you wanna get down and dirrtyyy and dance crazy!! then gooo!!
