wow what a hole I was surprised
the didn't have a no moccasins
allowed sign at the door that being
said my boyfriend was more fearful
of my safety from the bouncers
than the sketchy clientèle the place
has been done up in a similar style
to my grade six graduation dance
while it may seemed slightly more
depressing it all would have been
fine for a local had the bouncers not
been stirring up fights with anyone
who happened to be looking like
they were enjoying them selves
they were worse than any place I've been and been to a few dives
in my time one of our friends went
up to talk to one of the bouncers a
big fijian guy to ask him a question
and he told him straight out before
he even spoke the guy he was told
to off then when he tried to
ask again the guys chased him
down the road this particular friend
happens to be one of the softest
guys we know we were shocked
never again now matter how far we
have to get out of berwick

It appears that Blitz has dumped its Friday. That's quite a surprise to me. The
first week was okay and the second week is always a tough one, but with few
other places out that way, I thought it would have come good.
Hmmm... well... I guess that means 1422 on Fridays or saving your efforts for
Saturday. Saturday Blitz hit capacity before 10.30 and was full all night.
Max Moose, MaxMoose, Thu May 4 17:39:15 2006
Checked out the opening Friday at Blitz. Some of the comments on here have been
overly negative.
Look, I haven't been there on a Saturday recently to compare it, but I thought
the Friday was pretty good.
It was better than half full, which was big considering that they didn't have
much time to let people know they were opening.
It was a good looking crowd; sort of like the best of Furnace Friday v Blitz
Saturday. The pics (evidence) of that will be up soon.
The DJs were okay. They mixed it up quite a lot, playing plenty of house.
This night will take off. The Furnace crowd has two local choices 1422 or Blitz.
The band lovers will go to 1422. Everyone else will choose the venue with the
DJs and people they want. Blitz is very competitive on that front.
Enough of the Furnace crowd will go there Friday that it will become Furnace
Friday @ Blitz, and be a different crowd to Saturday. Those that liked Furnace
Friday but not Blitz Saturday should like Blitz Friday unless they were into
bands.
Max Moose, MaxMoose, Thu Apr 27 00:15:22 2006
Wow... Blitz on friday nite, fun fun fun... not many ppl there but i still
enjoyed myself!!! It was the same sorta crowd as when it first open... but it's
alright... i'll be back on friday!!!!
Natalie, Emerald, Wed Apr 26 11:14:59 2006
Mark - at least there were some people at Blitz - there were only 40 people at
the Nu.
Dave, Narre, Sat Apr 22 18:43:01 2006
21.04: Blitz Friday's
Not a bad night, good music and good vibe. just needed more people. a poor kick
start to blitz friday nights. no where near capacity, or even half.... a bit sad
on the behalf. but overall it was great fun and great music.

Yeah Hunni, lets turn blitz in2 a boxing ring. Remember the RnB room at Brass?
Thats where all the trouble was and why the place got such a bad rep. The south
east RnB crowd are try hard gangstas and thugs. Besides which RnB is soooooo
last year.
Keepin it real, Narre Warren, Wed Apr 19 23:03:28 2006
The suburbs need a good r&b night. maybe the management should look at starting
an r&B night as there is a big market especially in the south east. I know for
sure that alot of my friends would come. I miss r&b wednesday at Brass. Lol.
R&B Hunni, Berwick, Wed Apr 19 22:07:25 2006

21.04: Blitz Friday launches
Blitz is also set to open next Friday in the wake of Furnace being shut down
(April 21). Its Saturdays have been running at capacity from 2003 to today, but
despite requests for it, they haven’t opened on Fridays until now. We’ll know
more next week, but it seems that similar to Saturday they will focus on DJs
rather than a band.

This night is now closed
Thought I better drop by for one last time. It closed on Saturday. It was pretty
quiet, but the staff were still the friendliest around.
Max Moose, MaxMoose, Sun Oct 13 23:06:35 2002
This night has changes a little since Brass Monkey opened. You now pay a $4 covercharge for a $20 drinkcard, thus the name Four n Twenty. Coverband Lime also take the stage (27.9.02).

Fridays at Blitz are becoming younger and more stylish. At the start it was an older night, but now it is more like their Tuesday, with 18 to 23s dominating the night. It tends to be less consistent than their Saturday, which is partly due to the local footy competition, and possibly because the entertainment varies a fair bit, with the odd celebrity dropping by. For example, they have had some bloke from Triple M with an American accent for the past few weeks, and for the next few they are having Wet 'n' Wild Calendar girls, or something like that.

Again, most of the crowd is local from around the Berwick, Narre Warren, Hallam, Pakenham and Cranbourne part of the world, and there is a fair bit of cross-over with Hallam's famous Thursday crowd. The young ladies dress like princesses, the blokes don't bother. They are not quite as outgoing as the other nights at Blitz, but it is still friendly with a good pick-up rate.

The arrival time seems to vary a bit due to the footy. I generally don't get there until later (maybe midnight), but people seem to arrive around 10-10.30, with a peak about midnight, and starting to quieten after 2am. It isn't quite as big as the other nights, but because the age group is tight, it should grow a little. On a standard Friday, the main room is pretty full, there are a few in the sports bar, and the VIP bar is usually closed unless there is a party on (see the other reviews of Blitz for a description of the venue).

There is no band on Friday, so the music is all up to DJ Lee Davies, Disco Dave and friends. That is not a bad thing because Lee is a great DJ, and it gives them time to mix it up. They can play some sightly harder house tunes than on their other nights, and build longer sets without the band interupting. However, the celebrities often cause interuptions of their own.

As always at Blitz, the prices are pretty friendly by nightclub standards, and Blitz is a nightclub, not a pub.

Fridays still need to find their niche, but it looks like being a young night, with a little bit of style the odd celebrity appearance. Stay tuned to MAX MOOSE to find out how it develops, but drop by for a look by all means.
