Editorial Review for Pacha – by Katie Heffernan

In Short
What began in Ibiza and blazed through 25 cities worldwide has finally surfaced in Manhattan. The four-floor maze of staircases--decked with palm trees, army-green tarp canopies and mosaic-mirror hand symbols to ward off evil--conjures a mystical temple in the tropics. Go-go girls in bikinis grind against each other in steamy red-lit showers, while clubbers get carnal beside a shattering sound system that blares beats from top international DJs--including part-owner Erick Morillo.

Insider Tips

Look Good

Finagle your way into Pachita, the exclusive lounge and dance floor on the top level--though only select VIPs with the club's "passport" card are guaranteed access. The secret staircase leading up to Pachita is hidden behind the go-go shower lounge on the third floor.

Where to Sit

The sprawling club has reserved tables just about everywhere--in dance floor-side boxes and on the overlooking mezzanine, in the shower-side lounge and tucked into less visible corners.

Pacha is the best house music club in city due to their hosting of the worlds best dj's and all night theme parties. They club doesn't get pumping until around 3 am so don't expect much if you get there before 1. The early crowd is made up mostly tourists who are just there to get drunk. The late crowd is made up of serious clubbers who are there for the music and djs. The energy totally changes at 3 am when the main dj goes on. I went this past weekend to hear Victors Calderone (who was amazing) but I have to say I will have second thoughts about going back to Pacha again. The Pacha security was horrible. They put a downer on the night before you even walk in the door. They are super rude and basically strip search you. I don't mind a pat down, but now they are now grabbing and feeling around your crouch. Thats where I draw the line. I happened to get caught with gum in my pants (not allowed) and they made me feel like I had just committed a major crime and yelled at me. Give me a break. A few weeks ago I would have given this club 5 stars.

Pros: Great music, great dj's, fun crowd after 3am

Cons: security: rude, obnoxious and inappropriate searches

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Went with a group of friends a few weeks back and had a fantastic time. We all danced our butts off to some great music. The drinks and service were very good. Definitely will be back
