Editorial Review for Pacha – by Katie Heffernan
In Short
What began in Ibiza and blazed through 25 cities worldwide has finally surfaced in Manhattan. The four-floor maze of staircases--decked with palm trees, army-green tarp canopies and mosaic-mirror hand symbols to ward off evil--conjures a mystical temple in the tropics. Go-go girls in bikinis grind against each other in steamy red-lit showers, while clubbers get carnal beside a shattering sound system that blares beats from top international DJs--including part-owner Erick Morillo.

Insider Tips
Look GoodFinagle your way into Pachita, the exclusive lounge and dance floor on the top level--though only select VIPs with the club's "passport" card are guaranteed access. The secret staircase leading up to Pachita is hidden behind the go-go shower lounge on the third floor.
Where to SitThe sprawling club has reserved tables just about everywhere--in dance floor-side boxes and on the overlooking mezzanine, in the shower-side lounge and tucked into less visible corners.

It is a pretty typical club. The space is not necessarily great. If you are looking for hardcore house dancing after 4am, this works. But I have been to better. But the experience at the door was very annoying. First the guy at the entry who is checking the IDs asked us to pay 40$ for each at 4 in the morning. We were a group of of 6 girls and 2 guys.Then my friend somehow managed to get a deal of 10$ per person after talking to another guy at the main entry. (double standard, unfair pricing) I had a water bottle in my pocket and the guy at the door took the bottle off my pocket and threw it w/out even asking me to throw it . Then I told him, i want to drink it before I get inside as I am thirsty, He blackmailed me saying If I drink it, I am not getting in. So see another nobody w/a big power trip. I understand not letting the water in as I guess we are supposed to buy the overpriced water inside, but how dare he can dictate what I will drink before I get in. I did not say anything since most of my friends already got in and also it is known that people at the doors of this kind of clubs tend to enjoy their "oh so important power of letting people in" little too much. But I dont want to support this business again by going there.

So, I went to this place last night upon recommendation of the other positive reviews on the web. I got there early....it was just after 10pm. The club was pretty empty inside...so why did the proud guys at the door make us wait almost half an hour? There were a total of 5 people in line by the way including myself. And these jerks have the nerve to make you wait in line for half an hour at 10:00....I chose your club over all other clubs/bars/lounges....so wouldn't you want people to go in asap? And then they really try to milk you with the $30. (yes $30. per person) cover charge!! My man and I are not going to pay $60. just to get into a place that made us wait at 10:00 for half an hour and for no reason. We went to another place - with no cover charge - and spent the $60 we would have to just get INTO Pacha on...hmmmm... about 5 drinks!
Pros: None that I can think of...
Cons: They are not as good as the staff seems to think they are
