Daniel Maughan: Saving The Opium Group one party at a time

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a love-hate relationship with The Opium Group. It’s usually a love the venue but hate the service kind of deal. From snooty bouncers on power-trips, to waitresses that never seem to have enough time for their own tables-- The Opium Group has managed to leave a bad taste in my mouth. I understand that they’re trying to run a business, but their customer service sure leaves a lot to be desired. There’s no excuse for treating your customers like crap. After some time though, one comes to accept that this is the way things are. The Opium Group clubs treat you like crap, and so you just don’t go to them anymore. Then I met Danny.

Daniel Maughan is the unassuming type. As opposed to most promoters today, he isn’t flashy or on an ego-trip. He doesn’t need to be-- he’s got his sh!# on lock. No kidding. Danny, or the savior of Opium as I jokingly call him, is probably one of the best assets The Opium Group has. He isn’t just a promoter who oh-so-kindly allows you to use his name to get through the door, not at all. He goes a step further and becomes one of the best party hosts I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.

Having a problem at the door? He’s got it. Can’t find the waitress? He’s got it. Thirsty? He’s got it. Danny goes out of his way to make sure you have a good time. The formula is simple: treat the people that make you money well and they’ll keep on coming back to make you more money. Brilliant. Now, why hasn’t the rest of The Opium Group gotten with the program? It’s beyond me, but thankfully Danny’s around to make things better.

So next time you plan on going to an Opium Group venue, or simply would like your faith renewed, give Danny a call. I GUARANTEE you a good time. Here's the 411:
