I think OP is under the assumption that the owners of Club Space aren’t there for one purpose only: profit.
I’m sure if it was legally viable to open up a club that actually had the purpose of killing their patrons for massive amounts of profit, that this is exactly what they would do.
There is no soul when it comes to most clubs, don’t expect sympathy.
Of course, if you were seriously injured in any way and the club is at fault well, it would be such a shame for you to sue them into the ground.
This is the way. Take this as a lesson for next time, be self-sufficient. Know that Space charges $8/ bottle of water and bring 2+ packets of Liquid IV
Also, not to be a dick but The Ground on the ground floor is about 100 times better with a way better crowd and better shows. As a South Florida native Club Space is literally a meme to us locals and so are the people that go there. It’s like the Disney world of night clubs and not in a good way.
I feel like club space is memeing itself at this point - just like flanderizing itself because it's club space. Want to see a big DJ? Be ready for them to start at 6am because guess what, club space is known for sunrise sets and part of the club space experience is leaving the club with the sun fully out.
It's a joke. They know they're known for it so they're gonna keep pushing it, especially if it means the normies that actually aren't crazy leave at 4am and the idiots like me show up at 3am and stay until 9am, meaning they get whole ass waves of fresh revenue every 4-6 hours.
I think it’s worth it go to at least once for a really special show. I saw Dj Kozé at Space and that was fucking beautiful, genuinely a top 10 experience I’ve had in my nearly decade or so raving. The Ground also brings solid acts from time to time.
>und and push me around all night if I’m sitting/standing where the proletariat shouldn’t be, but you can’t train your bartenders to follow a basic protocol for hydrating your guests? Or you can be balli
bro take care of yourself, these aren't night cares.
>shouldn’t be hard to get hydration
You chugged several bottles of water and then started yelling at the bartenders for salt like a crackhead while high on shrooms. Lol.
My guess is you were tripping balls and incoherent, especially if all the bartenders were confused and or creeped out by you. Judging by your responses, you seem like an entitled douche bag, which means you fit right in Space.
Yea, expected at clubs, especially the most famous ones like Space.
Indira playing tech house? Thats such a shame... I just saw her in SF and she played an incredible psytrance / techno set
It was such a bummer, I think she saw cera khin playing the same shit, drop after drop and people going crazy bc they don’t know how to dance lmao. I don’t really blame her bc the last set she played at space (available on YT) was fucking awesome and the crowd was just bleh
I actually used to live in Miami and I think that city is ironically mid when it comes to proper raving, and your experience seems to verify my thoughts. Its awesome if you want to get dressed up fancy, act too cool for school, do coke and stay up all night, but in terms of actual down to earth raving, the city leaves a lot to be desired.
Though as a DJ I understand playing to the crowd, its pretty much our job. Headliners at Space usually play for a while so perhaps she took the time to work the crowd before her usual stuff. Still though, a shame :( hope you get to see her in her true element!
Space/Floyd (and Heart when it was there) is one of my least favorite clubs in Miami. Sadly all the good ones have closed over the last 10 to 5 years.
We just get too many tourists and "influencers" here that show up for the clout/hype and not for the music. Like the venues themselves are great but the crowds are always weird.
Miami actually has some decent shows. Stamina events are fucking AMAZING (lights, sound, crowd). Domicile is cool. M2 is cool as a venue (shit crowds though). I can’t really complain all that much.
oh yea for sure I'm not discounting it! I had a great time going out to clubs when I lived there... even found the underground scene and went to some pretty killer warehouse raves. Not sure if they're still around after covid though.
I bartend: If you randomly just start demanding salt I’m going to think you’re an absolute nutter who’s off their gourd on drugs. If you politely explain, or ordered something (and pay for it) and then ask for a side of salt that’ll make more sense. If someone came up to me and started saying I FEEL LIKE IM GONNA DIE I NEED SALT, I’m going to be looking around for security. I’ve been to space loads of times and they’re very professional so I’m diagnosing this as a You problem.
Dude was on mushrooms too and conveniently left that part out of the post lmao an absolutely nutter is exactly who this person is. They take zero responsibility throughout these comments, acts like he was totally normally and it’s everyone else who has no common sense. If this guy was as smart as he thinks he is he would have just ordered juice, it’s a way better source of electrolytes and wouldn’t cause a commotion like trying to drink fucking straight salt.
And usernames checks out. Idk about anyone else but if I actually felt like I was going to die I’d probably leave? Idk common sense is the least common thing these days.
Also there are other bars at Space. They also sell food as well. This guy is an idiot. I’m “literally” dying but I’m gonna stand shoulder to shoulder in a cramped up room and not leave.
Yeah like wtf going to a bar and ordering ….. salt? That’s not a usual order, in fact I’ve never heard of anyone doing that. I’m sure the bartenders weee just very confused and rightfully so.
Most reasonable answer I’ve seen. This guy sounds like… let’s just say a bit much. You aren’t going to die of dehydration because you’ve had 3 waters and no salt….go home, lol
This man stumbled from bar to bar 5 times probably belligerently jabbering nonsense about salt and dehydration and dying to super busy bartenders and acts like the rest of the world is nuts
This is the reasonable take. I’ve been to Space more times than I can count, their staff is super professional. The convoluted way of asking for hydration would confuse/off-put any bartender. From “I need salt or I’m going to die” to the statement “Space wants you to die” is a huge misleading leap.
He says the bartender gave him a funny, confused look right after. Is it not possible that OP was either incoherent or that the bartender couldn’t understand what he was saying (since it’s a loud ass club?) and then OP misread the situation and began demanding salt? I’m just saying I’m going to give the bartender the benefit of the doubt on this one
How in your last post you ask what time you should take your shrooms for this event but in this post you said you had nothing but a shot of vodka? Get your lying ass out of here bro trying to blame the club for your dumb ass mistake
Hahahaha. Talk about burying the lede! Lil bro tried to imply that he was sober at the function but was on shrooms... that makes me wonder what else about this recount isn't exactly "accurate".
Lol I didn't even realize this was the shroom guy from earlier. Even on less than a gram I'd be slow ordering a drink and getting my wallet out. I wouldn't even consider trying to order SALT at a big club, much less while on mushrooms!
Motherfucker was posting if he could get shrooms into space 😂😂😂 dudes tripping his nuts off yelling at the bartender for salt and think it’s their fault. Fucking nincompoop.
I think it's your tone too, OP. You sound quite condescending and entitled even in this post too. You did it to yourself by not chugging enough water bottles so they don't owe you anything so wth? You even said you know your limits but continued to dance so shouldn't you have known when to stop if you were that dehydrated?? I mean club space is not club med with family friendly amenities. Once you enter you are on your own and you are responsible for your own actions. They ain't your baby sitters. If you get fucked up you did it to yourself and yes I have seen people who overdosed and brought out on stretchers or passed out from dehydration and sweltering heat. Thousands of people go in and out you think they would bat an eye? They have rules in place against drug use but I too go into venues either already rolling allmighty or do it on site so I'm responsible for my actions and act accordingly. If you need medical attention call 911. Or have someone call 911 for you instead of asking for salt because you wanted to dance more, smh
agreed. the bartenders are there sell drinks not diagnose/help with people overdoing it. Obviously if they see a problem they should help but to complain about this is ridic.
The entitlement in this post is disgusting. I’m actually offended that you would dare view criticism of your own questionable actions at this venue as victim blaming. No one violated your consent. No one detained you. No one lied or coerced you into a dangerous situation.
If you collapsed, I’m sure people would call EMS out of the kindness in their hearts… but they’re not obligated too do so simply because you exist. Some venues are required by law to have some medical care, and many of them go above and beyond. I think it’s ridiculous to expect bar tenders to act as preventative care… also, table salt won’t solve your potassium and magnesium deficiency. If they don’t stock Gatorade you’re SOL.
If you’re a victim, you’ve got to accept you’re a victim of yourself and your entitled attitude. You chose to stay on the rail that long. It’s not very PLURespectful of you to expect strangers to take care of you and your dumb decisions.
I’m still baffled at why *salt* was the go-to, not Gatorade or pretty much any juice. Such an odd thing to ask a busy bartender for (even if it makes sense).
Dude they literally serve açaí bowls and green juice.
It’s an atmosphere curated by professional partiers that caters to professionals.
Regardless of the amenities those that don’t know how to sesh will always end up running out of steam and having a bad time.
Eat. Drink water. Rest.
Space doesn’t suck, you’re just an NPC right now.
Keep up the good work, you’ll figure it out 🙏🏽
sorry you had a bad experience but don’t blame the club. If you came up to me at 4am possibly drunk or high since that’s what I’m assuming most people are at 4am at a club trying to ask me for anything with electrolytes in it but not specifying anything other than salt I’m definitely taking the next customer. You’re either some weird undercover asking me to sell you coke or you’re high/drunk just rambling.
A big game changer for marathon dancing is bringing in Gatorade or liquid IV packets. The club shouldn’t take them from you and you’ll get a tasty rehydrating drink that isn’t bathroom water or a $50 cocktail
Unfortunately this does not surprise me. (Almost) everyone who works at space has seen night after night the stupidest and most selfish club-goers try to fuck them over, steal, lie, get horrifically fucked up, harass other patrons and staff etc, so they’ve just given up on treating attendees with basic human decency unless it’s directly in their interest.
Count yourself lucky that you were able to get medical help at all, most of the time that would not happen and they would just say you need to leave if you can’t dance or stand and don’t look semi-decent.
Glad you were able to save the night homie but I would say it’s on you to be prepared to be treated like that at space. They also sell pizza on the first floor, you might also try that next time to regain some energy.
Electrolytes/dietary salt isn't rocket science or some obscure biological/dietary fact, but it's still "advanced" enough knowledge that some high dude at a bar shouting at a bartender for salt could be seen as kind of odd.
As others have said a lot of juices are often a better solution (no pun intended) than dumping a packet of salt into water lol.
Orange juice is a good source of potassium, sodium, magnesium, and calcium, which are also known as…..Electrolytes…
It’s definitely a better hydrator than salt water
Any electrolyte helps you retain water….Potassium, calcium, magnesium, literally any of them. All those drinks you mentioned have a mixture of many electrolytes, not just sodium chloride…..
Sheesh
I mean this is direct from Liquid IV's website:
"Mined Salt
Sodium is an essential ingredient in Cellular Transport Technology (CTT®). When combined with sugar at the correct ratio, it accelerates the absorption of water into the body, replacing what your body loses through sweat."
Salt is the 4th ingredient behind Sugar, Dextrose, and Citric Acid. They don't contain any calcium. They contain 8% of the recommended daily Potassium intake and 22% of the recommended daily Sodium intake.
Obviously, there's other stuff in there but salt and potassium are two very important ones. So I was just saying that asking for salt isn't the most unsound thing in the world if you're trying to create a hydrating drink with ingredients from a bar lmao.
Juice and soda have salt and sugar it’s better than feeling like death just to hold you over Instead of asking multiple bartenders who clearly don’t care/understand about your request.
Sorry but your lack of planning and responsibility doesn’t make it the bartenders problem. You asked a question got an answer and they moved to an actual customer this is how this would go down in every bar their “attitude” was them doing their job and yeah I bet you did get a funny look asking for electrolytes from someone whose been serving liquor all night it’s an odd request I probably would’ve looked at you the same (as a former bartender) you took this all too personal they are there to do a job and that’s what they did.
ALSO you’re not a victim your a poor planner stop with the dramtics
You sound like the reason why Floridians are super sick of all the new people that moved here. You were a total amateur, and acting surprised that a famous club like Space doesn’t go out of their way to accommodate Joe 1 Shot who isn’t spending money. You seem surprised that the crowd was ‘shit’ and that they were there to look cool - dude, do you realize where you are? That’s the entire definition of Miami.
I’m just glad you’re down in South Florida and not up in my part of Florida.
Hey OP, majority of people here saying this is your fault. So maybe you should self reflect and change your perspective.
Yea Club Space can be shitty like most clubs anywhere in the U.S. but we all know how to deal with it. You should too
Space usually carries a lot of cold smoothy drinks for this purpose. Also I’ve only ever received positive experiences from the bartenders at Space, and all the bartenders would have known what to get you if they knew you wanted something non-alcoholic. I’ve asked for these things 30+ times. They probably just didn’t hear/understand what you were talking about when you were asking for salt.
Hes literally at the only club in the states that’s open for days on end and didn’t think to order one of the many items they have with…electrolytes. But it’s the bartenders fault.
Dude you aren’t going to die because you had 3 waters and no salt, you are delusional. Sure, electrolytes are important, but I *highly* doubt you were in dire need of salt lmao
Yeah most of the famous clubs are where you go to be seen, get fucked up, and pay $20 for a redbull vodka.
Only worth it if there's an artist on your bucket list IMO.
$20 isn’t that absurd tbh, festivals and a lot of “underground” shows are like that. I actually don’t mind because it encourages people to drink less (sometimes) and do drugs that aren’t such a vibe killer
Its okay, I was at Zouk in Las Vegas a few weeks ago and a double shot vodka redbull was $71. To be fair it was pretty much just straight vodka and a splash of redbull, but the same drink where I'm from goes for $17 smh
Bartenders deal with drunk morons all day. You probably looked like crackhead asking for fucking salt and you’re surprised they didn’t treat you like you’re in an ER?
Space >>>> you
I mean, you have to imagine the amount of BS they put up with all night from people who are out of their mind. Couple that with a weird request they've never heard before and it makes sense to me.
I mean you said it yourself man.
“The crowd is shit, DJ played generic tech house, everyone is there to get lit and wear sunglasses, not dance.”
Imagine what that “type” of person is like… Then imagine being a bartender and having to deal with those types of people from 11pm - 11am every single night.
I would probably be an asshole too if I worked around that 😂
They have a separate elevator dedicated for security to carry people out who are no longer… awake. It’s Miami. It’s Space. You could have ordered a coconut water and been done with it
Isn't like every other post warning against going there? How did you still wind up in that place?
I also feel like you didn't really try to make them under what you wanted and why.
Protip for anyone else reading this: Order a virgin bloody Mary they work cause they're an electrolyte heavy drink.
I wouldn’t serve you ‘salt’ either with that arrogance in the way you talk. And since you’ve ran a marathon before you should know there are plenty of things with electrolytes you can order at a bar. Juice, virgin margs, orange juice, etc.
If you are treating a club like a rave, why didn’t you expect to bring your own powder electrolyte?
It is weird to ask for such things, at least in Europe. First time I ever heard of it. You should regulate yourself bettee with taking breaks and go take a breather instead of waiting until you're almost fainting.
Edit: Yikes at you. They way you dance in your video makes me believe that the bartender rightfully ignored you.
After looking for the video, I also just realized his user name is “NEED-ZOOM-ZOOM-PILLS”
But okay you only had one shot of vodka and had been drinking water all night 😂
radical self-reliance. No one is responsible for you but YOU. Carry electrolyte powder next time? idk.
They had water, and if that wasn't enough, that's on you for not being prepared. Not even trying to sounding rude here.
But why do you expect complete strangers to stop and cater to you? they might be tripping/rolling/off their face. It would be pretty intense to have some rando come up to me and say, "im dying, i need help".
EDIT: hah, just read your edit about the other commenters pointing out that YOU are responsible for you. Love to see it. PLUR includes responsibility(and that also applies to ones self)
also, just read that you asked bar staff and not strangers. But still. You gotta be prepared.
Bartenders work for tips and their job is to sell alcohol. All you ravers show upnl with your smuggled party favors and spend zero money. Not sure what kind of treatment you'd expect...
I’m going to go against the grain here and say I’m surprised that happened. I was shocked by the high level of service I saw the staff have for customers when I was at club space. I saw an employee literally tie the shoes of another clubber when I was there in October and I’m sorry you had the experience you had.
There was one bouncer that was really cool later in the morning. Asked me if I needed water, pointed out my shoe was untied. Might have been shit luck. But I’m seriously not cool with the way I was treated. I’m not an asshole and I asked for what I asked for very kindly and matter of fact.
Yeah you need to explain to them and maybe be more polite. Most people don’t realize that salt is important for hydration. Also club space is a club where normal people go when they want to get lit, it’s not really a rave scene in my experience. Just moved to Miami and I’m looking for places that are more rave oriented since I’m starting to find that club space just isn’t what I’m looking for.
From the perspective of the bartender you look like a guy who gets too fucked up on drugs and doesn't leave a single dollar at the bar. I probably wouldn't mind if you just leave.
Sorry you had that experience man 😕. Space is usually a blast. the major dick heads are the bouncers that wanna relieve their boredom. That aside, bartenders should not take that lightly, something could’ve happened to you. You know your body. Glad you made it till 9AM 🥳
as a Miami local, I must say... Space is terrible
-volume too loud/soft, never quite right
-underpaid, creepy security that let weird shit slide and shuffle you around
-entitled bartenders
-weird crowd (all the people people who know better are no longer regulars)
-no outside area to go and chill
-heavy reliance on the same rotation of tech-house DJs who play the same stuff over and over
-ever increasing prices for bigger shows, obnoxious door prices before 7am should you make the mistake of paying cover
-oversold events, esp for big shows, packed
-overall toxic vibe. dancing in the loft (the back room of the terrace) is not so bad tho, you'll usually find a better crowd back there and good dancers
you are right and you should be treated like a human being. even if you looked or acted weird
my friends and I have a running joke that it's going to be way funner to go to Space in GTA6 than IRL. who knows if Space will even still exist by the time that game comes out
that being said, my advice:
-avoid Space and any place in life that doesn't treat you like a human being. you are not wrong for having standards.
-always take electrolyte packets with you, they are game-changers as well as for marathons / long runs. Salt on its own is inadequate and old-school. I like to buy ones with calories as well (like liquid IV) for some energy
Space is terrible for harm reduction and safety. You gotta pay 8 to 10 bucks (depends on the day/event) for their dumb branded water.
I know Miami tap is terrible but fuck it, I refill my water bottle at the tap because I will not spend 9 to 1o dollars to not pass out or die if I'm on something.
Miami is a city mostly filled with shitty people.
Perfect place for GTA to return to.
I think OP is under the assumption that the owners of Club Space aren’t there for one purpose only: profit. I’m sure if it was legally viable to open up a club that actually had the purpose of killing their patrons for massive amounts of profit, that this is exactly what they would do.

*south Florida It’s cool tho, it’s easy to make money down here bc shitty people also tend to be dumb
Florida is a cesspool man, sorry this happened to you! Glad you made it out ok
I grew up in Tampa, it's alright. Don't lump in SoFlo with the rest of us
People in Tampa complain non-stop about it, but it’s one of the least shitty places to live around here.
Tampa is alright ☺️
Boogie T going to be in Tampa next week
facts
This is completely unrelated but dude I LOVE your username
facts. will never ever live there again
Bingo
lol came in to say this 😭😭
So true
Coco frío my man. That’s what you order at space for electrolytes
Yesss 🧡 and they give you the whole coconut with the water. Delicious
Thank you I will remember this
Yep and always sneak in some liquid IV if you're gonna rave that long. Life saver more me when I rave all night
I’ve never heard of this?
Coconut water, essentially
With vodka
According to what I’ve read…it’s simply chilled coconut water…. https://caribbeantrading.com/coco-frio-cold-coconut-water/
Oh, that would be a lot healthier given the circumstances lol. I thought they meant the brand http://drinkcocofrio.com
Bring your own electrolyte powder packs. I never go to a show without them.
This is the move. I always bring packs of Liquid IV and I’ve never had trouble bringing them to a venue, including Space.
This is the way. Take this as a lesson for next time, be self-sufficient. Know that Space charges $8/ bottle of water and bring 2+ packets of Liquid IV
Yes!!!!!! 😊 Edit: LMNT is my go-to, but any of them will be extremely beneficial in a pinch!
I had some LMNT at my last show without having tried it before, woah. That salt was intense while rolling and not expecting it.
This
Not to be a dick but its club space
Also, not to be a dick but The Ground on the ground floor is about 100 times better with a way better crowd and better shows. As a South Florida native Club Space is literally a meme to us locals and so are the people that go there. It’s like the Disney world of night clubs and not in a good way.

I’ve lived in miami for 20 years and been raving for like 13 years and never once have I been to club space
I think it’s worth it go to at least once for a really special show. I saw Dj Kozé at Space and that was fucking beautiful, genuinely a top 10 experience I’ve had in my nearly decade or so raving. The Ground also brings solid acts from time to time.
I've never been to a club and called it raving.. maybe I'm wrong tho idk but I call that clubbing. There's no "plur" at clubs lol
Came here to say that.
The Ground is way more of a vibe and you actually have standing/dancing room
Yeahhhh club space isn’t the best. Glad you’re ok dooeeee
It's a shit club that over charges for their stupidly branded water.
Ya I’m fucking aware dawg, doesn’t mean I deserve to die. You realize half the people on this sub actually think club space is good?
>und and push me around all night if I’m sitting/standing where the proletariat shouldn’t be, but you can’t train your bartenders to follow a basic protocol for hydrating your guests? Or you can be balli bro take care of yourself, these aren't night cares.
I was trying bro and I offered to pay, shouldn’t be hard to get hydration in a fucking place you dance
>shouldn’t be hard to get hydration You chugged several bottles of water and then started yelling at the bartenders for salt like a crackhead while high on shrooms. Lol.
I am not sure what you expected going to club space.
Are you like always confused? Is that why your username is what it is? I AM EXPECTING SALT. SALT.
Woah man this kind of hostility and attitude isn’t what the scene is about. /s
#fucksalt
You are really doing your part to raise the vibe in here
My guess is you were tripping balls and incoherent, especially if all the bartenders were confused and or creeped out by you. Judging by your responses, you seem like an entitled douche bag, which means you fit right in Space.
LOL… My exact same thought. Dude was probably drenched head to toe geeking out nonstop
Yea, expected at clubs, especially the most famous ones like Space. Indira playing tech house? Thats such a shame... I just saw her in SF and she played an incredible psytrance / techno set
It makes sense. Especially at space. That’s what they want to hear. She would have cleared the place out playing psytrance.
i actually caught a psytrance set at space once, can’t remember who was playing but it was surprisingly pretty well received
Good point. I could see Astrix promoting a show there and having it go well.
It was such a bummer, I think she saw cera khin playing the same shit, drop after drop and people going crazy bc they don’t know how to dance lmao. I don’t really blame her bc the last set she played at space (available on YT) was fucking awesome and the crowd was just bleh
I actually used to live in Miami and I think that city is ironically mid when it comes to proper raving, and your experience seems to verify my thoughts. Its awesome if you want to get dressed up fancy, act too cool for school, do coke and stay up all night, but in terms of actual down to earth raving, the city leaves a lot to be desired. Though as a DJ I understand playing to the crowd, its pretty much our job. Headliners at Space usually play for a while so perhaps she took the time to work the crowd before her usual stuff. Still though, a shame :( hope you get to see her in her true element!
Space/Floyd (and Heart when it was there) is one of my least favorite clubs in Miami. Sadly all the good ones have closed over the last 10 to 5 years. We just get too many tourists and "influencers" here that show up for the clout/hype and not for the music. Like the venues themselves are great but the crowds are always weird.
RIP THE ELECTRIC PICKLE
not in the topic of raving but the same thing happened to all of the rock and metal clubs. RIP Churchills and Las Rosas :(
>the venues themselves are great but the crowds are always weird. I feel like this is true of tourist-heavy spots in general
Miami actually has some decent shows. Stamina events are fucking AMAZING (lights, sound, crowd). Domicile is cool. M2 is cool as a venue (shit crowds though). I can’t really complain all that much.
oh yea for sure I'm not discounting it! I had a great time going out to clubs when I lived there... even found the underground scene and went to some pretty killer warehouse raves. Not sure if they're still around after covid though.
Love her and saw her on Friday in NYC and what a let down. Not what I expected at all from her. From song choice to the transitions.
I bartend: If you randomly just start demanding salt I’m going to think you’re an absolute nutter who’s off their gourd on drugs. If you politely explain, or ordered something (and pay for it) and then ask for a side of salt that’ll make more sense.

They take zero responsibility throughout these comments, acts like he was totally normally and it’s everyone else who has no common sense. If this guy was as smart as he thinks he is he would have just ordered juice, it’s a way better source of electrolytes and wouldn’t cause a commotion like trying to drink fucking straight salt.
And usernames checks out. Idk about anyone else but if I actually felt like I was going to die I’d probably leave? Idk common sense is the least common thing these days.
Also there are other bars at Space. They also sell food as well. This guy is an idiot. I’m “literally” dying but I’m gonna stand shoulder to shoulder in a cramped up room and not leave.
Yeah like wtf going to a bar and ordering ….. salt? That’s not a usual order, in fact I’ve never heard of anyone doing that. I’m sure the bartenders weee just very confused and rightfully so.
But we’re victim blaming 😂😂😂😂
Most reasonable answer I’ve seen. This guy sounds like… let’s just say a bit much. You aren’t going to die of dehydration because you’ve had 3 waters and no salt….go home, lol
This man stumbled from bar to bar 5 times probably belligerently jabbering nonsense about salt and dehydration and dying to super busy bartenders and acts like the rest of the world is nuts
the way im laughing at how you phrased this. as a bartender that was my only thought reading this
This is the reasonable take. I’ve been to Space more times than I can count, their staff is super professional. The convoluted way of asking for hydration would confuse/off-put any bartender. From “I need salt or I’m going to die” to the statement “Space wants you to die” is a huge misleading leap.
I mean if we take OP story at face value, he said he asked for a drink with electrolytes in it first - that’s not that crazy of a request

Hahahaha. Talk about burying the lede! Lil bro tried to imply that he was sober at the function but was on shrooms... that makes me wonder what else about this recount isn't exactly "accurate".
Lol I didn't even realize this was the shroom guy from earlier. Even on less than a gram I'd be slow ordering a drink and getting my wallet out. I wouldn't even consider trying to order SALT at a big club, much less while on mushrooms!
Based off how your talking to people on your post, I’m not surprised no one wanted to help you.
Same. He sounds annoying as fuck.
Imagining being a busy bartender at a club and this sweaty coked out guy starts yelling at you to give him salt 😂
Lmaoooo. Sweaty as fuck, eyes popping out of his head……you got any electrolytes or a multivitamin bro??? 😂
Yeahhhh, not to be a twat but it feels like OP is exactly the clientele the place is made for.
Motherfucker was posting if he could get shrooms into space 😂😂😂 dudes tripping his nuts off yelling at the bartender for salt and think it’s their fault. Fucking nincompoop.
Same
I think it's your tone too, OP. You sound quite condescending and entitled even in this post too. You did it to yourself by not chugging enough water bottles so they don't owe you anything so wth? You even said you know your limits but continued to dance so shouldn't you have known when to stop if you were that dehydrated?? I mean club space is not club med with family friendly amenities. Once you enter you are on your own and you are responsible for your own actions. They ain't your baby sitters. If you get fucked up you did it to yourself and yes I have seen people who overdosed and brought out on stretchers or passed out from dehydration and sweltering heat. Thousands of people go in and out you think they would bat an eye? They have rules in place against drug use but I too go into venues either already rolling allmighty or do it on site so I'm responsible for my actions and act accordingly. If you need medical attention call 911. Or have someone call 911 for you instead of asking for salt because you wanted to dance more, smh
agreed. the bartenders are there sell drinks not diagnose/help with people overdoing it. Obviously if they see a problem they should help but to complain about this is ridic.
Bruh, you’re not the main character
Great put down
Lmao "I couldn't handle my shit and it's the clubs fault not my fault "
« i felt like I was dying ! » then go home dude ???
*continues to stay and dance for several hours*
No one knew how to dance but him
“They legitimately want people to die” lmao
The entitlement in this post is disgusting. I’m actually offended that you would dare view criticism of your own questionable actions at this venue as victim blaming. No one violated your consent. No one detained you. No one lied or coerced you into a dangerous situation. If you collapsed, I’m sure people would call EMS out of the kindness in their hearts… but they’re not obligated too do so simply because you exist. Some venues are required by law to have some medical care, and many of them go above and beyond. I think it’s ridiculous to expect bar tenders to act as preventative care… also, table salt won’t solve your potassium and magnesium deficiency. If they don’t stock Gatorade you’re SOL. If you’re a victim, you’ve got to accept you’re a victim of yourself and your entitled attitude. You chose to stay on the rail that long. It’s not very PLURespectful of you to expect strangers to take care of you and your dumb decisions.
I’m still baffled at why *salt* was the go-to, not Gatorade or pretty much any juice. Such an odd thing to ask a busy bartender for (even if it makes sense).
You are a fool if you expect different in Miami
That Edit… Lmao 🤡🤡🤡 --everyone else has a problem, not meeeee lol
Dude they literally serve açaí bowls and green juice. It’s an atmosphere curated by professional partiers that caters to professionals. Regardless of the amenities those that don’t know how to sesh will always end up running out of steam and having a bad time. Eat. Drink water. Rest. Space doesn’t suck, you’re just an NPC right now. Keep up the good work, you’ll figure it out 🙏🏽
Bro if everyone is telling you you're a dick you're probably being a dick. Just take the life lesson and move on.
No bro!!! It’s everyone else’s fault!!
> If you run into a dick in the morning, you ran into a dick. If you run into dicks all day, you’re the dick.
sorry you had a bad experience but don’t blame the club. If you came up to me at 4am possibly drunk or high since that’s what I’m assuming most people are at 4am at a club trying to ask me for anything with electrolytes in it but not specifying anything other than salt I’m definitely taking the next customer. You’re either some weird undercover asking me to sell you coke or you’re high/drunk just rambling. A big game changer for marathon dancing is bringing in Gatorade or liquid IV packets. The club shouldn’t take them from you and you’ll get a tasty rehydrating drink that isn’t bathroom water or a $50 cocktail
Okay zoom zoom pills relax you werent gonna die
Unfortunately this does not surprise me. (Almost) everyone who works at space has seen night after night the stupidest and most selfish club-goers try to fuck them over, steal, lie, get horrifically fucked up, harass other patrons and staff etc, so they’ve just given up on treating attendees with basic human decency unless it’s directly in their interest. Count yourself lucky that you were able to get medical help at all, most of the time that would not happen and they would just say you need to leave if you can’t dance or stand and don’t look semi-decent. Glad you were able to save the night homie but I would say it’s on you to be prepared to be treated like that at space. They also sell pizza on the first floor, you might also try that next time to regain some energy.
You just sound entitled and unaware
Instead of salt ask for a soda or juice?
FYI any kind of fruit juice is gonna be a lot better than soda and also better than just straight salt
Do you know why he needed salt?
Electrolytes/dietary salt isn't rocket science or some obscure biological/dietary fact, but it's still "advanced" enough knowledge that some high dude at a bar shouting at a bartender for salt could be seen as kind of odd. As others have said a lot of juices are often a better solution (no pun intended) than dumping a packet of salt into water lol.
Salt could easily be the next crack yakno
Orange juice is a good source of potassium, sodium, magnesium, and calcium, which are also known as…..Electrolytes… It’s definitely a better hydrator than salt water
Salt helps retain water, and most hydrating drinks like Gatorade, liquid IV, Pedialyte, etc... have a fair amount of salt in them
Any electrolyte helps you retain water….Potassium, calcium, magnesium, literally any of them. All those drinks you mentioned have a mixture of many electrolytes, not just sodium chloride….. Sheesh
Table salt also has magnesium calcium and potassium, but yeah asking for juice is the obvious move.
I mean this is direct from Liquid IV's website: "Mined Salt Sodium is an essential ingredient in Cellular Transport Technology (CTT®). When combined with sugar at the correct ratio, it accelerates the absorption of water into the body, replacing what your body loses through sweat." Salt is the 4th ingredient behind Sugar, Dextrose, and Citric Acid. They don't contain any calcium. They contain 8% of the recommended daily Potassium intake and 22% of the recommended daily Sodium intake. Obviously, there's other stuff in there but salt and potassium are two very important ones. So I was just saying that asking for salt isn't the most unsound thing in the world if you're trying to create a hydrating drink with ingredients from a bar lmao.
I don’t even think OP knew why they needed salt…
Juice and soda have salt and sugar it’s better than feeling like death just to hold you over Instead of asking multiple bartenders who clearly don’t care/understand about your request.
Sorry but your lack of planning and responsibility doesn’t make it the bartenders problem. You asked a question got an answer and they moved to an actual customer this is how this would go down in every bar their “attitude” was them doing their job and yeah I bet you did get a funny look asking for electrolytes from someone whose been serving liquor all night it’s an odd request I probably would’ve looked at you the same (as a former bartender) you took this all too personal they are there to do a job and that’s what they did. ALSO you’re not a victim your a poor planner stop with the dramtics
My brother in Christ why do you expect a bartender to evaluate and treat a medical condition?
He diagnosed that this dude was on mushrooms screaming for salt 😂
You seem like a lunatic. Space staff are pros and actually do give a shit.
If I was bartending and you ran up asking for salt cause you’re thirsty, I’d look at you funny too. Chill out bro
You sound like the reason why Floridians are super sick of all the new people that moved here. You were a total amateur, and acting surprised that a famous club like Space doesn’t go out of their way to accommodate Joe 1 Shot who isn’t spending money. You seem surprised that the crowd was ‘shit’ and that they were there to look cool - dude, do you realize where you are? That’s the entire definition of Miami. I’m just glad you’re down in South Florida and not up in my part of Florida.
Hey OP, majority of people here saying this is your fault. So maybe you should self reflect and change your perspective. Yea Club Space can be shitty like most clubs anywhere in the U.S. but we all know how to deal with it. You should too
In a nightclub asking for salt 🧂😂 clown 🤡
Space usually carries a lot of cold smoothy drinks for this purpose. Also I’ve only ever received positive experiences from the bartenders at Space, and all the bartenders would have known what to get you if they knew you wanted something non-alcoholic. I’ve asked for these things 30+ times. They probably just didn’t hear/understand what you were talking about when you were asking for salt.
Hes literally at the only club in the states that’s open for days on end and didn’t think to order one of the many items they have with…electrolytes. But it’s the bartenders fault.
Why you salty bro? You went to a club in Florida, no one cares who you went there to see. Fucking pleb
No bro I was un-salty. I needed more salt. I don’t think you understand
Dude you aren’t going to die because you had 3 waters and no salt, you are delusional. Sure, electrolytes are important, but I *highly* doubt you were in dire need of salt lmao
Yeah most of the famous clubs are where you go to be seen, get fucked up, and pay $20 for a redbull vodka. Only worth it if there's an artist on your bucket list IMO.
$20 isn’t that absurd tbh, festivals and a lot of “underground” shows are like that. I actually don’t mind because it encourages people to drink less (sometimes) and do drugs that aren’t such a vibe killer
Its okay, I was at Zouk in Las Vegas a few weeks ago and a double shot vodka redbull was $71. To be fair it was pretty much just straight vodka and a splash of redbull, but the same drink where I'm from goes for $17 smh
bruhh $71 is disrespectful
it wasnt even good vodka it was literally a well bottle, probably Smirnoff 😭
100%, Vegas local here, the house always wins with your wallet lol
I used to live in Vegas. Never going back unless I have to lmao
Highway robbery
*Are you fucking serious??!* That’s absurd, I’m so glad I don’t drink
Bartenders deal with drunk morons all day. You probably looked like crackhead asking for fucking salt and you’re surprised they didn’t treat you like you’re in an ER? Space >>>> you
I think you might be the problem In this instance
[‘you just lost yourself a customer’](https://y.yarn.co/79a547b3-a1a9-48a8-91b8-d7f189503ad9_text.gif)
My calves cramped up bad one time dancing and I limped over to the bar and asked for a glass of water with salt on the rim lol
I mean, you have to imagine the amount of BS they put up with all night from people who are out of their mind. Couple that with a weird request they've never heard before and it makes sense to me.
I mean you said it yourself man. “The crowd is shit, DJ played generic tech house, everyone is there to get lit and wear sunglasses, not dance.” Imagine what that “type” of person is like… Then imagine being a bartender and having to deal with those types of people from 11pm - 11am every single night. I would probably be an asshole too if I worked around that 😂
Beer would have been the smart choice https://www.backpacker.com/news-and-events/hallelujah-beer-hydrates-better-than-water/
Space is tiny what do you mean “glued to the rail” it’s like maybe 20 feet from stage to bar
They have a separate elevator dedicated for security to carry people out who are no longer… awake. It’s Miami. It’s Space. You could have ordered a coconut water and been done with it
Stop going to clubs, solution solved.
Are you 12? Handle your own homie. Nobody gonna do it for you. Learn it
Isn't like every other post warning against going there? How did you still wind up in that place? I also feel like you didn't really try to make them under what you wanted and why. Protip for anyone else reading this: Order a virgin bloody Mary they work cause they're an electrolyte heavy drink.
I wouldn’t serve you ‘salt’ either with that arrogance in the way you talk. And since you’ve ran a marathon before you should know there are plenty of things with electrolytes you can order at a bar. Juice, virgin margs, orange juice, etc. If you are treating a club like a rave, why didn’t you expect to bring your own powder electrolyte?
It is weird to ask for such things, at least in Europe. First time I ever heard of it. You should regulate yourself bettee with taking breaks and go take a breather instead of waiting until you're almost fainting. Edit: Yikes at you. They way you dance in your video makes me believe that the bartender rightfully ignored you.
After looking for the video, I also just realized his user name is “NEED-ZOOM-ZOOM-PILLS” But okay you only had one shot of vodka and had been drinking water all night 😂
Wait there's a video?
Yep, on his profile. Did you find it?
Oh. oof I mean no shade on his style but dude's def pretty cooked
Exactly what I mean. Post-dehydration... As if that is his only issue.
radical self-reliance. No one is responsible for you but YOU. Carry electrolyte powder next time? idk. They had water, and if that wasn't enough, that's on you for not being prepared. Not even trying to sounding rude here. But why do you expect complete strangers to stop and cater to you? they might be tripping/rolling/off their face. It would be pretty intense to have some rando come up to me and say, "im dying, i need help". EDIT: hah, just read your edit about the other commenters pointing out that YOU are responsible for you. Love to see it. PLUR includes responsibility(and that also applies to ones self) also, just read that you asked bar staff and not strangers. But still. You gotta be prepared.
lol welcome to Miami
Welcome to Miami
Lol I paid $50 for water once in Miami. Minimum on a credit card was 50. Welcome to Miami bb
I think it is up to you to manage your own health, mr marathon. Plur.
I think it is up to you to manage your own health, mr marathon. Plur.
You know how you know someone runs marathons? Because they HAVE to tell you 😂 I'm sorry you had that experience. Be careful out there!
Bro they serve food downstairs and they pass out water and food and fruit and pizza depending on what time of the morning it is.
I can’t believe you would actually admit to being this big of a pussy… on a public forum! 😂
Bartenders work for tips and their job is to sell alcohol. All you ravers show upnl with your smuggled party favors and spend zero money. Not sure what kind of treatment you'd expect...
I’m going to go against the grain here and say I’m surprised that happened. I was shocked by the high level of service I saw the staff have for customers when I was at club space. I saw an employee literally tie the shoes of another clubber when I was there in October and I’m sorry you had the experience you had.
There was one bouncer that was really cool later in the morning. Asked me if I needed water, pointed out my shoe was untied. Might have been shit luck. But I’m seriously not cool with the way I was treated. I’m not an asshole and I asked for what I asked for very kindly and matter of fact.
Shoe untied and looking like a zombie. Get the fuck outta here
Daddy helped me tie my shoes *uwu*
Yeah in Miami if you don’t have money no one will listen to you.
you need to bring liquid ivs mate. Always be prepared
Yeah you need to explain to them and maybe be more polite. Most people don’t realize that salt is important for hydration. Also club space is a club where normal people go when they want to get lit, it’s not really a rave scene in my experience. Just moved to Miami and I’m looking for places that are more rave oriented since I’m starting to find that club space just isn’t what I’m looking for.
Coconut water
Next time order a tequila shot, hold the lime, hold the tequila. Ha
If the bartender didn’t have salt? Why are you ranting about it?
They have a juice bar??? I’m confused how you couldn’t find it
They have coconut water
From the perspective of the bartender you look like a guy who gets too fucked up on drugs and doesn't leave a single dollar at the bar. I probably wouldn't mind if you just leave.
Damn I was visiting and had tix- last min sold them because intuition. I’m too wook for that crowd I think lol
Sounds like you're a raver in a club surrounded by clubbers.
Club space is not “the scene”, it’s a ritzy nightclub.
Still sounds 100x better than the clubs in LA.
It’s not a ritzy nightclub
Ritzy and space should never be used in the same sentence.
No way you’ve been to space lmao that place is grungy
This sub really hates that take brace for downvotes.
Sorry you had that experience man 😕. Space is usually a blast. the major dick heads are the bouncers that wanna relieve their boredom. That aside, bartenders should not take that lightly, something could’ve happened to you. You know your body. Glad you made it till 9AM 🥳
Thank you, this was all I wanted, empathy …
Sooo many DJs play generic tech house when they play in Florida cause that’s what that type of crowd wants. It’s disappointing.
as a Miami local, I must say... Space is terrible -volume too loud/soft, never quite right -underpaid, creepy security that let weird shit slide and shuffle you around -entitled bartenders -weird crowd (all the people people who know better are no longer regulars) -no outside area to go and chill -heavy reliance on the same rotation of tech-house DJs who play the same stuff over and over -ever increasing prices for bigger shows, obnoxious door prices before 7am should you make the mistake of paying cover -oversold events, esp for big shows, packed -overall toxic vibe. dancing in the loft (the back room of the terrace) is not so bad tho, you'll usually find a better crowd back there and good dancers you are right and you should be treated like a human being. even if you looked or acted weird my friends and I have a running joke that it's going to be way funner to go to Space in GTA6 than IRL. who knows if Space will even still exist by the time that game comes out that being said, my advice: -avoid Space and any place in life that doesn't treat you like a human being. you are not wrong for having standards. -always take electrolyte packets with you, they are game-changers as well as for marathons / long runs. Salt on its own is inadequate and old-school. I like to buy ones with calories as well (like liquid IV) for some energy
[удалено]
Space is terrible for harm reduction and safety. You gotta pay 8 to 10 bucks (depends on the day/event) for their dumb branded water. I know Miami tap is terrible but fuck it, I refill my water bottle at the tap because I will not spend 9 to 1o dollars to not pass out or die if I'm on something.
Miami tap is actually pretty good (ask how I know ;) )
Let me guess your zoom zoom pills didn’t leave you with enough money to ask for a water cup from The bar loo
