VIBE This mid-size club in the heart of the entertainment district features mainstream events and the occasional underground rental. The split-level design allows you to watch the dance floor from the upper lounge through the fish tanks, which are looking a bit grungy these days.
PAST LIVES Most recently this space was known as Jai Bar, and also was home to Sly, Syn and Atmosphere over the years. Not much has changed from the Jai years, although a barkless tree has apppeared in the middle of the dance floor. We don’t get it either.
BATHROOMS Clean and functional, but remember to bring some change for the attendant if you want paper towels.
SOUND & LIGHTS The sound system isn’t as good as Jai’s, but at least it isn’t as painfully loud. Lighting is handled by those ubiquitous smart lights and isn’t particularly special.
