World Class Fun Time!

by kurant

Go back, re-read the Editors' review. It is exactly that. Kind of dark Cheers meets a mellow dance club. This is a world class bar. Quiet early, raging late. A really upscale, very attrative crowd. I've been to MANY clubs and had more fun here than any I can remember. Check out Saturday nights... incredible.

  • Pros: local crowd, flaming Dr. Pepper, Hot Crowd
  • Cons: lame DJ, not much else
