Editorial Review for MaxBar – by Fred Schlatter
In Short
Gone are the icy blue and chrome finishes of the space's former resident, replaced with warm earth tones, unfinished wood and textured flagstone. Downstairs there's a bar to the left and raised seating to the right. A spacious, bar-equipped dance floor opens up once through the narrow hall connecting the rooms. The upstairs VIP lounge has a small bar, but the focus is on holding court with your entourage at one of several leather banquettes.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoDJs spin everything from house to hip-hop, with a sprinkling of pop and even creative rock mash-ups. Dancing happens mostly in the main back room, but rogue groups shake it throughout.
When to GoThis slice of Lincoln is a spectacle on weekends, but Max is one of the few 4am/5am options. Come well before the other bars close shop to better your chances of avoiding the crush.
The ExtrasBottle service is available in the upstairs VIP lounge.
