text: As a review for last night at Tao, I would say that two stars is generous. I've been a couple other times when I might have awarded 3 stars but last night was just NOT RIGHT.\n\nWhen we first got into the club, we tried to order drinks at the bar. There were definitely a lot of people trying to get drinks but the bartender was just flat-out rude to us. He kept making it seem like he was going to take our order and then just somewhat smirked and walked away. 20 minutes of this and another friend managed to find another bartender who didn't feel like being such an a-hole.\n\nThen, we headed out to the dance floor which was INSANELY PACKED (felt like a mosh pit) even though the music was not that good. Even trying to get off the dance floor was a disaster as there were so many people pushing in so many directions. My friend got hurt by an elbow in the face. \n\nThe highlight of Tao was finding out that the daytime Tao Beach area tranformed into part of the club at night. That outdoor area was much nicer but the crowd was still not great and, even on the pool deck, the bouncer quickly insisted that we put our shoes back on. We did see a few (1 guy and then 3 girls) fall over the ropes and into the smaller pool which was somewhat entertaining (since they were not hurt but just amused) but even this was not enough to make for a successful or fun clubbing experience.
