| - For all of us old enough to remember, this is the old Warehouse/Underground location. I was amazed at the transformation of this place. They gutted it, and now its beautiful. The decor is simple, a few taxidermied animals, some heavy rusted chains, wood and leather, but the over all effect is simple and beautiful. Its very spacious. The entrance opens to a small lounge, where they have a full bar. Their signature drinks are all bourbon based, which I cant say I tried..not a fan of it. Up a few stairs is a main dance/sitting area and to the right the "cafeteria". Its just a big open window, where you can order nibbles.
There is a dj up there, and a dj on the lower floor. Downstairs has a low ceiling and a central bar, surrounded with seating and a decent size dance floor.
Reminds me of the old Embassy.
So why the 3 stars? Well despite the buildings ambiance, I couldnt say there was a particular fun vibe about the place, like say the HiFi, Broken City etc... The music was decent, and the place was packed pretty early...but maybe it needs to figure out what works best and roll with that...Regardless, I think this place will rake in the cash...its run by HiFi, Una Pizza and Ox&Angela folks, all very succesful establishments so far...
