My new favorite lounge//nightclub (insert a little heart)
A totally balanced dynamic, and on the nights when both levels are open, it's fun to go back and forth for the energy/ambiance change:
-INSIDE is 2 bars with plenty of space and comfortable furniture for sipping, lounging, and conversing. Music varies from soul classics to hip-hop to the occasional light music. It's perfect for sipping a carefully-proportioned martini or a house-concocted cocktail by the best bartender in Houston Nikki (if you're feeling stiff, try her Darlyn Nikki Shot or a yummy Grooveycane). They have a great new taco/tamale Saturday night where they offer a promotion of $2 tacos outside on the way out.
-NIGHTCLUB - the nightclub has the best sound I've heard in HTown yet! Totally makes me feel like I'm in a club in New York. Their tables are normally sold out depending on which party they've booked for the evening, so it's a good idea to plan ahead an reserve a table before the night of. Definitely a lot of well-mixed music and they have live music on Saturdays
Overall, the crowd is great (edgy, urban, attractive) and the ambiance is fabulous- definitely classy but not pretentious, which is difficult to achieve. They've only been open a year so I can't wait to see what comes from this much-needed new spot as they perfect their technique.
I'm a regular, for sure xx
