I guess it could be worse.

This club has completely gone down hill since opening, The "upscale" sushi restaraunt next door, Pandora, is no longer there either. The reason why the drinks are overpriced and the cover charge at the door is so stiff is due to all the money they put into this place for decor, it takes a lot more to make a bar desirable although it is quite hip inside. Purgatory is going down the same road as BLUE, I remember when it opened it was hailed as something Dallas had never seen before," the MOST upscale club in Dallas". Now this place is nothing more than a ghetto, only popular on a few nights and all African American. I do hope for the sake of the people I know that work at Purgatory that they change some things, or I see this club going belly up in another year or so.

It depends on what you like

I enjoyed myslef at this club! I went to Purgatory on a night when African Americans genreally go and I think that the issue with a lot of people who have complaints is that they dont normally party with the twenty one and over crowd. Most of the twenty one clubs still allow eighteen year olds to get in and that, in turn, makes the crowd really young. Since they don't do this at Purgatory the crowd is very mature! Not necissarly in age, but in attitude. No sorrority of fraternity struts, no fights, no conflicts, just good old fashioned drinking, dancing, and socializing in a very nice atmosphere. Everyone should atleast try to go once! And if you put yourself on the VIP e-mail list, you pay less at the door! ~BMG

Very pretty one must admit but huge problem: ASIANS, ASIANS, ASIANS... There's absolutely no fun to be had. It's like one huge click in there. You go in without your own girl and you're screwed

To much money

rip off!

just to let everyone know, i used to date the bar manager at this club and they rip their customers off. if you order, say, a grey goose and cranberry, they are going to charge you for a top shelf drink, but put plastic bottle generic vodka into your drink! they never put the alcohol in it you call, they always use well liquors so DON'T waste your time ordering top shelf liquors- you wont get them!

Not worth your money!

This club is totally overpriced when it comes to its cover charge, and drinks. It's not even an upscale club for them to charge that way. It's really not worth your money.

Ghetto fabulous! It could have been something different, if they had done things right. Dallas is fickle you have to cater to the right people but it turned out ghetto! I would never be cought dead in hell,heaven or purgatory in Dallas anyway! I will be at Medici,sence or candleroom!

BAD

This club was good for the first 2 weeks it was open and then it went down hill just like Blue. The best spots in dallas are Candle Room, Sense, Obar, and Vain Lounge. If you are looking for places to party check out wildondallas.com. DONT GO TO PURGATORY. OVER PRICED, TACKY PEOPLE, GHETTO.. JUST LIKE BLUE.
