text: This is a CIAA weekend review.\n\nThe Big Chill is definitely properly named, especially the BIG part, the place is huge, several rooms including one huge main room.  It's also a laid back place for the most part so it was chill. A little on the fancy side but nobody was wearing tuxedos so it was chill in my eyes.\n\nThe night started slow and the size of the place kind of made it look too big but as people arrived the extra space was definitely needed and appreciated.  The club is big enough that you can dance and have a good time without constantly bumping into everyone around you but also not so huge that you won't still be around other people.\n\nThe bartenders were good and made the drinks strong but at the same time very reasonable priced. I'm used to DC prices when drinks are going for 10+ dollars, so a 5 or 6 dollar mixed drink was right up my alley.\n\nSecurity and the front door were cool, they knew people were there to have a good time and didn't go through all the pretending that their club was extra hot by making people wait outside for no real reason.  \n\nOne odd thing I did notice was that the group I was with all brought tickets in advance and some of the group, their tickets were brought by one guy, well at The Big Chill, the person who actually bought the tickets must be present for you to gain entry. I could see this being a problem if you get your tickets from a friend in advance but don't arrive to the party with them, you may have to wait. No huge issue though.\n\nThere is no real parking lot and if there is, it is either small or hidden, so we valeted the car but even that was affordable and honestly you just feel extra fancy when you pull up to a venue and somebody opens the door for you.\n\nThe Big Chill was a cool place to have a night out, definitely more fun if you're with a bigger crowd because like I said the place is a bit on the massive side but I judge places about how much fun I had and I had a cool time.\n\nI recommend The Big Chill for your partying needs.
