I remember going to Coda a couple of years back and feeling that I was in a room full of ghettoness...Since then, I lot of changes have been made to the staff, the decor, floor layout and cover charge at the door.  I think  all the changes they've made so far is great. There is no other place in the valley  for young people to go out  that isn't trashy or just another meat locker. I could tell that  that Coda will ultimately be where are the local scenesters will end up in the very near future (all they need is 80's music and some indie rock and you'll be set).  It is a very groovy and seductive lounge without the hollywood snobiness.  The djs are really good, I wish the music was a little deeper and more eclectic than the typical radio club stuff....but hey, let's not forget that we're talking about the valley.
Pros:  No cover, cool vibe, good music
Cons:  watching people dance to "lean like a cholo"
