The best night club I've ever been to, I call it my second home. Everyone's
friendly and the dance floor goes OFF! The dj's rock, and even the bouncers look
after you. I'm always meeting great people there

I love dancing, especially to Hard NRG, which they play a lot of on a Friday
night at Viper. The croud is glam and music rocks.

Danni, Thu Jun 15 00:58:24 2006
Been going to Viper for about 3 years - at one stage every friday for 6 months.
What can i say, it my fav club, home club. Never had a problem there, never seen
any violence. Never been rejected at the door (and i am NOT a hawty). Some may
find the music a little hard but frankly the DJ's there I think are melbourne
finest/

This review was written before the name changed to Club V and back to Viper...

From about 11pm on Fridays, this dark spot begins to come alive. The Viper Room is just the right size and well organised to allow a great night to be had. And when it comes alive, it really kicks!

The front door staff are surprisingly obliging and are happy to search the guest list for hours to find your name. Once inside and up the stairs, you’ll see the first bar and probably all your friends waiting for you. The barricaded DJ booth towers from the centre of the room behind you, with a small staircase running to its feet. A convenient dance podium is placed at the base of these and from there you can stare at the friendly staff of the two bars on either side of the room. Out back there is a cloakroom ($3 an item!) and in-between the bars and the dance floor, the toilets.

Now you’re settled and know where everything is, you better do plenty of talking and drinking, while they start to stoke the embers. If you came here to dance, just wait until the real dance crew start to trickle in. Then the DJs start playing that itchy, hard banging house they’re famous for, and, ladies and gentlemen, the shirts come off! Right now they’re playing some older club classics and newer techno inspired stuff, so take a breather and wait patiently...

Okay, you’re on the dance floor now. The place is REALLY moving! The Viper Room on a great night is like a microcosm of a huge dance party. Have you been to Liquid, or the Crystal parties, or any warehouse rave? Then imagine it packed into a smaller club, but just as sweaty, hard and fun. There are half-naked gay men and women, trannies, leather boys, girls in stilettos (the “suits” left at about 1.30), ravers and plenty of beautiful women towering above you. That’s what Viper is all about: good times with great friends and superb tunes.

At 5am on a Friday, this place could have you thinking you were in Ibiza, Gatecrasher in London or even New York: the crowd is that eclectic, fashionable and party-hard. So don’t come with an attitude and don’t bring your friends who just want a quiet drink. Viper is a place you’ll want to stay all night!

P.S. I hear it rocks JUST as hard on Saturdays...
