Editorial Review for Metropolitan – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Posh hotels, gritty music clubs and clever coffee shops have made the Warehouse District the city's hottest scene. The Metropolitan fits right in. This cavernous, multilevel club provides ample space (three rooms and six full bars) for 20-somethings and up to drink and dance. Stylish lighting and boom-boom grooves combine for a big-city studio feel. The Metropolitan is housed in a hard-to-find, revamped warehouse known as Generations Hall, constructed in the early 19th century as the New Orleans Sugar Refinery, much of the original exposed cypress and brick remains. The clientele drink up the latest trendy cocktails or loosen up with import brews. Ordering the club's namesake cocktail is always appropriate.

Metro is Saturday only, 21+, $10 cover charge, and plays mainly hip/hop and top 40 with some dance. There are two rooms (usually one is full of asians and the other for everyone else). It usually starts getting crowded around midnight. Dress code is somewhat strict: guys need a collar shirt and no sneakers. I have one main problem with Metro: the bouncers. I understand that Metro wants to keep their upscale image and keep a strict dress code and that is fine, but sometimes they can be way too picky. It almost makes you feel like you are going to middle school and the teachers are checking to see if you are inline with the dress code. I have seen people not get in because they have one penny size rip in their jeans or the bottom of the jeans are cut to fit around the sheos. I have also seen a girl who was wearing flat shoes that looked similar to flip-flops not get in. Basically, the dress code gets stricter as the club gets more crowded. My second complaint about the bouncers is that they are always trying to make some extra money. "You might be able to get in with those shoes if you help us out" or something like that. Maybe Metro needs to pay them more.
Pros: Music, atmosphere
Cons: bouncers

My friend and I went to New Orleans to party for the weekend, we were both a first timer there. When we were asking people where to go at night everyone suggested "metro". We got there early around 10 after seeing all the people partying already on Burboun St. This was big mistake. They were not opened yet and we saw them setting up the place. they kept telling us in 10 minutes, so we ended up going to the hotel near by and hanged out alittle. We finally made it and there was a 10$ cover charge and boy it was worth it. Drinks' prices were average and the music was just amaizng. around 12 it got very packed but in a good way. Everyone was nicley dressed up and having fun with the great music played.
Pros: Great Music, not very expenssive
