| - Tiki. Grass and tonnes of bamboo. If there are people here, it's a pretty fun place to party. Voodoo lounge is 80's power metal meets jungle beach party meets gluten free. Weird, right? Yah, well it is - but if you go on a night when there's people, it can be a really fun time! VooDoo always seems like the kind of place that you go to for a reason. I've really only ventured into VooDoo lounge because a friend's band is playing, for charity events or softball fundraisers. I've never thought "it's Friday night, let's go to VooDoo lounge!" To tell you the truth, I'm having a tough time understanding why that is.
It could be the location along 16th Ave is a little unusual. If you weren't in the area you wouldn't really think to go to a bar here, unless like I mentioned, you had some reason. That said, The Cat and Fiddle is pretty close in proximity and while no means a better place, they seem pretty busy. It also could be that I get more Club vibes than Pub vibes for the place. When I think of live music, wings and hanging out over beer and food, maybe I want something a little more casual. So maybe it's this mish-mash of identities that confuses me a bit. I'm not quite sure what they're trying to do and I'm not quite sure who they want to appeal to. Am I that kind of person you want here? Is it a student bar? A cougar bar? A place to get dinner? A place for dinner? What??
I could see the the gluten free menu being really enticing if you're into that. I also wouldn't mind checking out a wing night based on a few of the other reviews. Chicken wings at a Tiki inspired lounge/rockbar/grill/sportsbar/club? Sure. :)
