Think you've seen it all when it comes to dance clubs? Think again. With five levels set within 35,000 square feet and a capacity of just under 1,500, Purgatory has raised the bar for the Dallas clubbing scene. Ten bars, a separate lounge area for the ladies and 14 plasma screen TVs are spread throughout this cauldron bubbling with nefarious night owls. The bottom level, appropriately tabbed "Hell," sports a dance floor with hard hops and a devilish vibe. Next up is "Purgatory," for all those struggling with their religion. Ascend another level and you've reached a two-tiered empyrean beginning with "Heaven" where the beats and the atmosphere start to become a little more angelic. By the time you reach "Upper Heaven," you should've attained a euphoric state of bliss that only a divine, uh, couple of rum and cokes can provide. If climbing from level to level works up your appetite, grab a bite at "Pandora," an upscale sushi hibachi restaurant.

Great club, if you're rich.

Sure, the environment is fairly nice. It's cool that there are 3 different levels, and the fact that they have hookah there is a plus (although it's $20). I got in with a txt that prevented me from paying cover charge, which is great. Otherwise I wouldn't have paid to get in. The dress code is ridiculous - all they say on the website is "Stylish" (for Friday night), but then it's up to their subjective opinion as to whether you're "stylish" enough to get in. Apparently it's okay to wear this Tapout BS that's risen in popularity lately, bc a lot of guys were. If you dress ghetto fabulous or completely metrosexual, you're good to go. As several other dudes have mentioned - take a girl with you, because chances are you're not going to pick one up. Drinks are insane - $5.50 for a mixed drink, $7.50 for a shot. Ouch. If you wipe your ass with Benjamins, this is the place for you.

It all depends

Ok, if you go to this place alone, and not drunk. Your going to be bored out of your mind. Bring your own chick! Most of the girls arent really open to random dancers. The price is decent I had to pay $15 though, and it was bull shit because on thephone they said $10 before 11:30. I get inside exactly @ 11 and the chrged me $15. Its a really cool club, the idea of 3 different floors with different themes is really cool and original. Usually the clicks come on saturday nights from my understanding, if your worried about that. I go on thurs. Im only 18. But youll have a good time its just you cant just walk in alone. BRING A WOMAN!! chicks dont have to worry because of all the horny dudes there...haha sad but true. The place gets crowded...and Im talking CROWDED, so have the patience for that... Over all a decent club
