Transit

Worst Club Experience Ever!. We were promised free entrance til midnight which didn't happen! We even had text messages from 4FANTASTICOS that we tried to show but OSCAR (the front door bouncer) refused to let us in for free, and threatened to charge us $20 each if the text messages were forwarded...The damn text even said "FORWARD TO FRIENDS PLZ" at the bottom.!!!! 6 out of 9 of us paid anyway since our party bus left and we just wanted to have a good time. My boyfiend and I later spoke with Oscar (who was rude and gave us an atitude when I questioned the false advertistment)....he then got us free drinks and gave us his number for our troubles....

About 20 minutes later, my friend (who was feeling sick all day) threw up in a small trash can descretely, as I walked to the restroom with her we were bum rushed by these rent a cops and we were forcefullly kicked out without reasoning. The security did not answer any of my questions or get the manager as I requested since I had just spoken with him.... (might I mention that my boyfriend, who tried to ask one of the security guards what was going on, was practically carried out with his head down when he didn't even resist or give them trouble.... This was after our party bought 2 bottles!! Not only was this very humiliating but we were furious for the way this club and it's staff handled our situation! I will tell everyone I know never to step foot in this horrible club, especially when they plan to celebrate their birthday!…

3rd time's the charm...?. The very first time I came to Transit was for NYE 2004/05. That night was a really fun night with champagne and all. The next time I came was for the Valentine's party that same year. This night, however, didn't go so well for reasons I don't remember (or don't care to remember). So when it was time to choose a spot to celebrate my birthday, I was pretty hesitant to choose Transit. I guess what did it for me (on paper) was the music selection they played which would've suited my guests (if they did show up, but that's another story). Well, for the most part they were true to their package which is always a plus. They did give me n my guests free cover n a bottle of champagne and free drinks for an hour (even though it was domestic beers and well drinks). I wasn't in time to get a table, so the top of the speaker is where we had to park our stuff. But despite being absent from the place since the Valentine's party, little has changed. I guess that the only gripe I have about the place is the long line outside (especially in the cold, but they do a full patdown at the door), the snotty coat check girls who didn't give me a ticket for my coat and accused me I left it at the bar when all along they never gave me one, and how the rooms were separated. of course, the main room pumped out current dance music, behind the main room played hip hop in a already cramped area, and on the 2nd floor the DJ was playing bachata. I guess I do like the place, after all they did back up their word on the bday package. i just don't know why I can't give them a higher rating, there's always "something missing".…

Beware of Host Brad Altman and his Saturday "NIGHTMARE"!!!. In the mood for HUMILIATION, ANGER, EMBARRASMENT,and BETRAYEL all while dressed in your Saturday Night Finest?! Ready to recieve dozens of angry text messages and phone calls from people who wasted their gas traveling miles from all parts of the Chicagoland area and it's surrounding subburbs for a party that WAS NOT there!!!

Are you up for being disrespected, yelled at, and cursed at by bouncers and front door staff that treat YOU like liars!!!!

Then by all means disregard this post and book your next birthday bash @ TRANSIT NIGHTCLUB on Saturday, hosted by Brad Altman!!!!

ON November 4th 2006 after nearly a month of correspondance and confirmations, Me, the guest of honor I planned the party for, an over 50 of his guests ( arriving throughout the evening) recieved a surprise from brad and the folks at Transit nightclub...

Brad Altman was not there.

The "VIP" number he gave us to call before we arrived went straight to voicemail all 3 times I called.

The bouncers at the front door had no idea about any party.

They didn't care about the papers I had brought with me as proof I had talken to Brad.

They told us to Pay 20$ to get in or leave.

Nevermind the Champagne toast or the reserved VIP mezzanine level I was promised, We couldn't even get through the front door!!!!!!!!

So good luck planning a party @ TRANSIT through Brad Altman, you're gonna need it. and you're also gonna need this ........

312-919-3761 Brad Altman's "personal cell number"!!!

(VERY IMPORTANT P.S. Bouncers and Managers handling entrance to the club have become increaseingly rude and dismissive to BLACK patrons. The last night I was there and other nights prior, I would see groups of Black clubgoers head towards the club and only a few minutes later head back toward their cars without ever getting inside. I stopped and asked them where they were going and was told they weren't allowed in for various reasons; no untucked dress shirts, no girl's logo-tees, etc. Just a warning!!!)…
