It's not as bad as everyone says--but I dance shiteously, drink sparingly, and go clubbing 4 times a year, so what do I know? I never had to pay cover, so I had nothing to lose but sleep.

Don't stay here longer than an hour, though--you''ll sweat like a hippo or worse, rub butts with one or 10. Kidding. It's just such a small venue and there's no traffic control whatsoever.

This isn't the kind of club to meet people or to see and be seen at. It's more of a club to shake it and sweat off 5 pounds--think DIY body rejuvenation.

4 stars..? YEAH MUTHA FUCKA 4 stars! After coming here from D&B i was seriously drunk out of my mind already.... it was 2 o'clock already and my friend still wanted to party, because of some chick he met... she told us to go to Venus. Woo great choice! The place was packed... people were drunk, people were dancing and not standing around like some other places. This is the hottest spot for late night clubbing.. so don't expect a party until 2 am, and watch out for saturday nights... it's gay night

I believe they serve alcohol till 4 which was awesome. Beautiful girls were all over the place, on the floor, on the wall... dancing up on me. Yeah the place might be a bit gross, as in the ambiance... No A/C... 85* degree inside 100% humidity.... my balls sweating.. wooo it was crazy, but i sure did have a great time. They played a couple bay slaps.. and i was showing HI. how to get stupid, dumb, and hyphy.

is it fair that i'm giving this place a better rating because of the experience i had here with friends and not the direct experience with the place itself? haha. oh well. (either way, my opinion didn't raise the rating of this place)

what i don't understand is why people are so anal about what a club is suppose to "look" like.
why do they have such high expectations?
don't people usually go to clubs just to have a good time and dance?
why must we judge a place on stupid things such as why their clientele are wearing "tennis shoes" or are "without a dress shirt"? (if you think about it, that's not technically the club's fault that people don't know how to dress....but that's for another day)

IT'S HAWAII! NOT HOLLYWOOD. expectations and lifestyles aren't the same everywhere! [people can't expect to go to idaho and dress like paris hilton!]
And if ya'll have a problem, ain't no body forcing you to go to this club. And if ya'll think you can do better, open up your own club....i guarantee that ya'll have hater's like some folks!
and yes, i really said "ya'll"

anyway, i think the secret to this club is to come on Wednesdays. from what i hear, that's the night that they "play good music."  It's not a "gay club" everyday folks....

Sure, the dance floor is small. sure the club itself is small, but they have pretty decent drinks for about $5 per. think of it this way, the money you spend on alcohol is helping this place better themselves. it can help towards remodeling the club for all the "haters."

One of my bests night spend in Hawaii was spent here, hands down. no need for details....

if you go with the right people and aren't bitter haters, i'll guarantee that you'll have a great experience too. Stop thinking as though you're in Hollywood people!

are you kidding me?

this is what you call a club?

they sell guys with tennis shoes into a club? and without a dress shirt?

LOL!!!!

come to california and I'll show you what a real club is.

this "club" is just as good as californias crappy bars.

there was a guy on the mic screaming random stuff along with the songs

like "heyyyy hooooo" and "put ya hands up, put ya hands up"

it woulda been alright if the mic wasnt crappy quality and his voice overpowered the music everytime.

drinks were cheap, i wonder if its like that everywhere in hawaii. drinks would be 12 bucks in cali.

It doesn't look like much...small dance floor, easily crowded, but if you wanna party til the brink of dawn, this is the spot right here! We attepted to keep it in one night after partying all week on our vacation to Hawaii, but last minute decisions brought us here and I have no doubt we will return for more good times.

Open eyes, take survey of contents on floor. Last night's clothes plus everything else exactly where I dropped it. Purse? good. Camera? good. Cell phone? good. Wallet? Crap. Wallet? Damnit. Maybe it's in the car. Get up. Limp to car. What the hell happened to my ankle? Yes! Found wallet next to ugly steinlager hat? Limp back to room fast and check bed. Sigh of relief. No ugly guy to match ugly steinlager hat. What the hell happened last night? I then saw the purple band on my wrist. Venus. Oahu's breeding ground for hook-ups. I definitely dodged a bullet by sleeping alone in my comfy bed. A little background for those not from Hawaii. Venus is 1 of only 3 (Venus, Oceans, Living Room) clubs worth going to that is open until 4am. B-List clubs that people wouldn't even think of making their first stop of the night. Venus is a popular choice of the 3 because there's no cover and as long as you can get your ass across the threshold, you are in. So we stumbled in at 2:30 drunk as can be and decided it would be a good idea to have more shots! The bar was easily accessible and we didn't have to wait at all. The drinks were free thanks to random sitting at bar. Thanks random. The dance floor is not so big and crammed with sweaty drunk people. The only complaint that I have is that the dance floor is sunken. Henceforth, the injured ankle. Despite my crash and fall, I made it up and proceeded to shake my ass for 2 hours. Is it wrong that I thought the guy who was dancing like Elaine from Seinfeld was hot? Now that I'm sober, yes it is! No makeout quality guys for me that night (although I still don't know who the ugly steinlager hat belongs to). Venus is the place to go if it's 2am and you don't have money and just want to shake it. And that would be me. :)

Why on earth did I come here to party? Only because a couple of my friends dragged my ass here. Plus I wanted to see that cute guy I had met a couple days before. I headed straight to the bar, and downed some double shots with a friend. So basically this place kind of looks like a dingy strip club on the inside. It gets crowded fast on a Friday night.
