Smashboxx take over of the former Howl on the Moon space and its nightclub conversion is interesting. From the outside it seems like it's not large venue but once you walk in there's space. It might not be as spacious as other large(r) clubs in Old Town but the space is generous nonetheless. There's one looong bar tho with it's own space two steps above the dance floor and the booths that surround it. It reminds of the layout of a game I used to play on facebook, nightclub city or something... yea i know, lame. So the entrance is pretty a ramp down to the dance floor or steps, and if you go left there are steps to the dancefloor, turn left and you see the bar. I think the most unique feature of Smashboxx is its self named Hotboxx which is pretty much a photo/video booth set in the corner of the bar area. You can choose to make your photo/video public by signing off to the disclaimer or send a photo to yourself at no charge. It's like a club confessional box. lol. The music here is more of the non vocal type electronic music but of a better caliber than a club nearby. The DJ does a good job. The overall vibe is a college atmosphere, young crowd, yea there's your douches but that's a given. I just enjoy that there's an actual dance floor altho air is a premium. One con of Smashboxx is the lack of a patio, so for smoker fiends, not that awesome but still a good place to get your dance on! =)
