My recent experience at Club Gricel:   We had a reservation: To get in only 
it seems!  They then made our party stand at the bar at the back.  I was 
only able to stand in the passage to the kitchen. I watched the sardines on 
the floor for an hour, decided that any hope of getting a dance from someone 
seated, using the codes to get a locals attention was utterly  was useless 
and left when my back could no longer take it.
