BAND OF THE WEEK
Super club

Every week, The Embassy Supperclub (816-4346) at The Fort becomes a lightning rod of sorts. It is frequented by socialites, expats, celebrities, social climbers, including the spoiled little rich kids who think they're the local Paris Hilton, and other partyphiles who dream of hobnobbing with the famous and moneyed set.

Once in a while, the Embassy Supperclub makes headlines for reasons its owners aren't proud of. Since it opened its doors to the public, the image of the club has been tainted by a number of angry disputes and bloody catfights among its habitues. The most recent is the much-talked about spat between celebrity Alicia Mayer and the lady bouncer, Aslie Aslanian, which left the sexy starlet with a bruised ego and cut lip. It's a good thing the matter has been settled now before it reached the courtroom.

With or without the fighting, Embassy has always been the preferred choice for barkada gimiks. Why? Because Embassy is one-stop party place for all your needs. It has the Embassy Cafeteria, which is open until the wee hours; Embassy Cuisine, a more upscale lounge/restaurant for denizens who want a little more privacy; and the Embassy Club, where all the fun starts and ends. Like upscale nightspots abroad, Embassy Club is divided into several areas: the main hall, the champagne room, and the VIP area.

Occasionally, the club features popular disc jockeys from abroad. On regular nights, it plays hard house, chillout, or '90s music.So, if you want to have fun and taste a little bit of showbiz and scandal, bring out your well-kept voguish outfits and head to Embassy Supperclub every Wednesday to Saturday.
