Anyone who uses the word hater without irony is a douche bag.

Anyone who likes to dress in “high fashion clothes” while pulling up in their”fancy cars” to pay excessive amounts of money for the “VIP treatment” is a douche bag.

Anyone who thinks Philly is deficient to AC/Miami/Vegas is a douche bag.

And anyone who can’t understand why enjoying Strongbox is akin to being Arthur Kade…is a douche bag.

Seriously…You are all haters. Strongbox is in no way affiliated with ArthurKade.com. So stop relating it too him. The people that visit Strongbox are not all “Arthur Kades.” Just like the people who go to Finnegan’s Wake aren’t all a bunch of former frat brothers in sneakers. Strongbox was filled with many reputable, successful, and non-”douche bag” people. You are completely stereotyping Strongbox, bc it isn’t your style or scene, and bc they are trying to set a standard so this club doesn’t turn into another Pearl with no identity taken over by a million different promoters and under-aged college kids puking in the bathroom…or like any other club in Old City that turned into the hip hop clubs from Delaware Ave. There are a lot of people in this city that like to get all dressed up in high fashion clothes, pull up in their fancy cars, and spend the money they’ve worked hard for in order to have VIP treatment and an amazing night out. In addition to G and Denim, Strongbox will finally give Philly a place that is the next best thing to taking the trip to AC/NYC/Miami/Vegas. Philly will never be any of those cities but it is working hard to give Philladelphians a place that is close to it. If you don’t like it don’t knock it, bc there MANY people in this city who have been waiting a long time for this to open and will fully enjoy its exclusivity, amazing music, and GREAT crowd.

I’m sure it’s easy, if by “thrown out” you mean “denied entry in in the first place.”

$400 = most expensive handjob EVER.

p.s. I wonder what it takes to get thrown out of Strongbox…?

haha @ posting in the comments of a gossip blog about ‘responsible journalism’. you might be able to pay thrillist to cover your lounge opening positively, but why expect unpaid reviews or comments to concur? if they really believed all publicity was good publicity they’d just smile when their pals forwarded the post and leave it at that.

it’s borderline to comment on the original blogger’s day-before posting on your club opening (there weren’t a series of disdain-mounting posts, just the standalone), but it’s full blown obnoxiously self-conscious to respond to the comments. IN the comments! why not just email the philebrity people? pretty budget!

For $400, the “service” part of “bottle service” had better be PG-13 code for a handjob.

Although I guess I shouldn’t be too hard on anything that could excise some of the Jersey from Old City.

as expat pointed out, defending yourself in the comments section of a blog was pretty stupid. come on now guys, if you really were a class act establishment why would you even bother with defending your unrefined grammar and poor metaphor usage here? come on guys, you basically were asking for this by writing that obnoxious mission statement. haha douchebags

Come on Brett, I know you think you are famous and part of an “elite” social network, but being a friend of Arthur Kade and GN Kang doesn’t make you a celebrity. I don’t care if they think of you as “Studio 54,” you a not. You and your crew are just a group of celeb wannabes who do too many lines in your spare time. Also, you cannot “respectfully disagree” that your use of “payed” is incorrect. It is “paid” you moron. Do less coke, or get a dictionary.
