If Mikey T. was still workin' the door at Surrender, I'd say that would be the easiest. Alas, it still meets a good deal of your criteria.

Any of the larger clubs with an outdoors area. XS or Surrender are great options

Yeah the indoor/outdoor clubs were my gut feeling. What about Marquee as far as bar quickness goes. Thought it may be pretty good since there are so many different areas.

Also, after seeing the layout for Hyde that Anthony posted it seems like getting a drink quickly from the bar may be doable given the smaller size and the fact that it has two bars on opposite ends.

The trouble with Hyde may rest in the whole "getting in" part. A good pick, though...

Is Hyde really THAT strict at the rope? How are us ugly dudes from the Midwest supposed to get in

The same way this ugly dude from the Midwest is going to... either get a table or have a nice handshake ready for Anthony.

Of course...I'm much better looking with a crisp $100 in my palm

XS is the best for what you are looking for.

It's huge so they can accommodate a large number of people. If you need breathing room there's always spots to stand and chill outside.

The door is organized and fast. Even for single guys paying cover. You won't get preferential treatment but if you show up early and pay the freight you'll get in. If you're talking about paying extra on top of cover to get in fast I wouldn't know anything about that. I always get bottles if I care that much about speed.

I've rarely seen the bar outside be that packed so there's that. Also if you are desperate you could always exit XS and there is a bar right as you walk into encore.

Lines outside marquee resemble refugees escaping a third world country, trying to go up an elevator and a couple narrow stairs.

And that's a good night. The line's a mess.

The main room floor has 3 bars inside (2 are massive with lots of space to order), 2 bars outside in the Dayclub/Patio area (both also large). On a busy summer night, getting a drink is never an issue even if fully packed. There's also another bar upstairs in the Library Bar, and another in Boom Box room as well. So you have 7 bars to choose from off the top of my head.

[nighthawk06si]

first two criteria would fit XS for sure as there is a wide open area outside and the outside bars aren't as packed as the inside ones so getting a drink is fairly quick from my experience..

the handshake part not so much but like others have said if you get there early enough, you won't really have that problem. if you rather not head to the club at 830 to avoid lines and still pay cover i have a fix for that. let me know if you end up doing XS i can help you out.

Damn...that's brutal, but not far off. You need to be there really early or have a tight hookup. The stairs going from floor to floor give a decent workout. The music and the ease of getting drinks at some of the bars (I like the patio bar) makes it an overall win for me.
