 he infamous Cameo is bigger and better. The gargantuan disco ball and insane laser lights bolt in every direction on the
 dance floor, making the place look a bit like an arcade.
Regulars at Cameo are quite common, since the place provides such an exciting experience. The fact alone that it’s located in a historic Art Deco movie theatre sets the atmosphere and encourages gaping. The club itself is pretty breathtaking to newcomers, divided into a dance floor and an upstairs glass VIP room. Of course, the point of this is so you can look at the beautiful people sipping their $15 martinis and wish you were them.
The décor is old-style Hollywood, with its graffiti-style art disco balls throwing just the right amount of sparkly light to make you want to dance. There are 5 bars, each with a different theme. One bar is meant to resemble a Rubik’s Cube, and you have to solve a mini cube before you can order a drink. Imagine that were true? After one drink, you’d be pretty frustrated and would most likely give up. It’s a way to prevent binge drinking, I say.
The large venue spins everything from hip hop, pop, rock to retro 80’s. Cameo is definitely a place for those who want to be seen (and don't shudder at a $25 entry fee). -S.B.

7 Reader Reviews | I have been to Cameo quite a few times and I can tell you it is not worth the hype. The dance floor is tiny, they pack so many people in it's ridiculous and to top it off the bouncers are power hungry and rude. I had a bouncer literally THROW my friend (who was a FEMALE) on the floor and tell her to leave for no reason.

The people who work there would rather stare into space than help you. The attitude was unbelievable!

I tried this spot becuase of martiniboys.com. It's more of a club than restaurant, but it's oozing with all of the essentials. If dining though, just make sure you're in and out by 10:00!

Great music, serious house. Garage and old old house... good times. The crowd knew there music, cheered on some old early house tunes. Very friendly, good looking men and women. The dining room in the back is small but really nice. Not enough place to dance if you want, but it is really more of a lounge. Nice washrooms. $$$$ cover.

Cool looking place, over-the-top decor but nice. Went on a Friday. Only problem, not enough seating. Get there early if you want a booth cause if your not there to eat you will end up standing about. Nice bar staff, very friendly guys who take your coat from you and take it to the coat room. Dont be alarmed. Great music, serious house.
