Quick Hits: Let Us In

There are some really tough doors in this city. Two of the toughest just happen to be two of our favorites. In this very special edition of Quick Hits, our faithful readers ask for advice on breaking through the iron velvet rope.

1. Went to rosebar last mth & they've told me that i need a reservation! I've never made a reservation before (well, they had d&g party that evening and that had something to do with it?) well, anyways.. one of my gal wanted to go & she emailed but never got a response.. so.. what's the secret?

2. Any tips on scoring a reservation at rose bar? They never seem to respond to emails.

3. The only thing that I am irked about is that I have not been able to get access into Beatrice Inn- maybe it's because I've shown up at 2:30 or 3 in the morning the two times I went-but both times me and my two (attractive) girl friends were turned away! What is the secret to that place?!
We hate to see our readers not being able to enjoy themselves. However, not gaining entry to Rose Bar means you are saving some serious scratch. Drinks were going for $21 a pop last Friday. Ho-lee. But as always, it tends to be who you know. Go early on what may be an off night and try to sweet talk the doormen, be nice, and ask if you can stop in for a drink sometime. If that doesn't work, you can always try the direct approach, but we predict a rough time. Do you have any advice? Comments are open.

having frank's direct helps a lot...then just get good at only showing up with attractive girls and they always handle the res

Start yourself off on slow nights and go often. If you can't go often enough to establish yourself, good luck.

call an escort service and bring a few with you. give the doorman a freebee, take pictures and then use them against him.

rose: get to know frank or nur. damian at the door is nice, but won't budge.
bea: get to know angelo, todd or sim and then still be prepared for a "private party" once in a while.

Rose Bar email list system has a screener... if your name is not in the database they've set up, you're effed from the jump.

And going to the the Beatrice at 2:30/3, and you're not a friend of the house? Suicide. Go earlier, and be real quiet walking up and polite at the door. They hate anyone who gets them the wrath of the neighbors (i.e. loud drunken girls outside begging for entrance).

It's true, the Beatrice and Rose Bar are not for the common public. Everyone in both places is a actress, musician, model, artist, journalist, fashion designer, magazine editor, socialite, French, rich, cocaine user...No wannabes. All big named people...And LOTS of gossip columnists.

Well Damian is known to be bi sexual and rumor has it that he has been sleeping with one of the owners and that man is his sugar daddy. Sucking the guy,s you know what has gotten him far up. He's pretty much a god at rose bar he's nice to you but you will not get in most likely...unless u start sleeping with the owner like Damian does!
