It's funny b/c I read the reviews and I thought the bad experiences that people have wrote about enclave were maybe biased, but it was actually right on the money. I've been to practically every club in Chicago and I can honestly say that the bouncers at Enclave have to be the most rude staff ever. We had a large party with us, even RSVP'ed on the guestlist and when we got there on a Saturday night, there was no line. Once the guestlist girl told the bouncer we were on the guestlist he whispered to her to stall our group so we would have to pay full admission. He let half the group in and tried to make everyone else pay $20. The inside wasn't bad, it looked pretty nice. I actually overheard a guy inside complaining that he had to pay $40! Which is absolutely ridiculous. The bouncer thought he was all tough and tried pushing the guys back, as if he was all important but there wasn't even a line! We asked to speak to a manager and of course one of the other bouncers says it wouldn't matter, etc. The guestlist girl even told someone in our group that she thought it was totally unfair and wrong of the bouncers to do that, but obviously she doesn't have the ability to do anything. Our group left because it put such a damper on our night and it had nothing to do with the money, but just the fact that the bouncer was a complete pr*ck. We went to Reserve, which was probably the best thing that could've happened to us. The staff there was so friendly and they let us in quickly even though it was pretty crowded inside. Thank you Enclave, for saving us from having a terrible night at your no-class club.
