INTRO:
Tequila is a sprawling nightclub on 17th ave, open from 8pm to 2am 4 days a week and all week long during Stampede. With a capacity of about 500 people and sitting on at least 3 million dollars worth of prime commercial real estate, they're obviously doing pretty well - and why not, its an AWESOME venue!
CLUB LAYOUT:
Tequila is a club for MEETING PEOPLE and HOOKING UP. The venue is broken into at least 8 separate rooms including 2 large outdoor patios and a sort of "attic" chill-out lounge. Loud areas for dancing, quiet areas for talking, cool areas for chilling, and dark areas for um ...chilling - they've got everything covered.
THE CROWD:
Tequila clearly targets the 18 to 25 year old crowd. Thursdays are slow, Fridays are busy, and Saturdays are INSANE. If you're planning on going on a Saturday, plan to ARRIVE by 9:00pm or you'll find yourself waiting an hour in line and may not make it into the club at all. Even if you're a girl.
DRESS CODE:
The dress code is pretty standard: "MAKE AN EFFORT" -if you look like a scrub, a thug, or a bum, you're not getting in ...and no sneakers. Other than that, you're good to go!
ID POLICY:
Tequila, like most Calgary clubs, has an extremely strict ID policy. They card everyone - even if you're thirty - and if you don't have valid government issued photo ID, you're NOT getting in. Alberta residents can use their driver's license. If you're from out-of-province, it would be a good idea to bring SEVERAL pieces of ID. Tourists can enter using their passport.
DANCEFLOOR:
Tequila plays Top 40, Rap, and R&B, with the odd country song thrown in. The DJs adjust the music mix for the crowd on any given night. If the crowd reacts well to it, they'll play it.
Beware that the dancefloor area in Tequila is VERY, VERY LOUD - if you're planning on spending the night dancing, bring earplugs or risk permanant hearing damage.
OVERALL:
A fantastic venue with a great vibe. Definitely worth checking out!
