I have been a regular at Club Space for several years now, but the last two times I went there were major problems. I have tried to communicate with the club's PR and management but have gotten the brush off.

It has come to the point where I will no longer go there, nor will I bring my friends - and it has always been me who has gathered up people to go there.

Last time I went there and brought ten people with me. Now they are all mad and asking for their money back but neither the venue nor the ticketing agency (Wantickets.com) will make any concession even though neither denies what happened.

We went to see a major DJ on a Saturday night. We did get into the club and spent a little while on the upstairs patio before heading to the main room to see the performance. We were not, however, allowed back down because the venue was oversold. We were told to wait - and did so for three hours until we finally gave up and left. Essentially, we spent 700 dollars to stand around for three hours and be harassed by the bouncers, who refused to get a manager to speak with us.

The time before we had problems with the bartenders refusing to serve us because we were only tipping 2 dollars per drink and it was not enough for them. The managers brushed this off as well.

That is two strikes and enough for me. I have been a regular customer - but I don't think I will return again and certainly won't bring my friends there any more. I hope this info is useful to some one!

I like to try new place even when I return to a favorite city. However, on every trip to South Beach, I must return to CLUB SPACE, which is sometimes known as Space, Club Space, or Space34.

This club is actually located in downtown Miami, right across the causeway from South Beach. Taxis will cost just $10-$12, so if clubs are your thing, this is one not to be missed.

There are almost always top international DJs playing, especially during a holiday weekend. However, even the residents like Oscar G, Roland and Cedric Gervais are awesome.

Along the highways, you will see a huge billboard saying Saturdays Belong To Space, and this truly is their greatest night. Get there around 1 or 2am. It will still be a little early for Space, but that way you will avoid the long lines. Depending on the night, expect to pay $20-$30. Around 3am, Space starts getting busy. It’s a huge club, but every time I’ve been, it has been packed, sometimes making it hard to dance.

On entry, you walk though a hip-hop room with VIP tables. It's quite small, but through a corridor is the cavernous room that is the main dance floor. It’s an awesome feeling to enter and hear the sirens, fog horns, and banging techno/house tunes. This is always my favorite room, of course, and though it's huge, this one is always the busiest.

You will see the designer kids, the club kids, and all kinds here dancing alongside each other. Follow the exit sign in the far left corner to some stairs (only open later) which lead to a top balcony, where you can overlook the dance floor. There are also VIP tables here, but these go with a bottle for $600-$1,000, so don’t bother.

At the top of the stairs, there are some black curtains that hide a special secret, the Terrace Room. The music here varies, but this time it was RIGATONE. Most of the ceiling is exposed to the sky. The terrace on this particular night was quieter than normal, which made for a nice break from the heaving crowds below.

Whereas the main club is more serious (a typical techno club where it’s all about the dancing), the Terrace Room had a more fun atmosphere, with an MC and men ‘on the pull’.

I didn’t like the music here, but my girls liked the Latino men!! What I did like was being exposed to the elements and dancing under stars.

Space is open until 12 the next afternoon, and at 6am, as we were leaving, the line was at its longest. What a great place to see the sunrise!

It's a wonderful club that has the best tunes in town, yet doesn’t take itself too seriously. Check out the website at CLUB SPACE for upcoming events.
