good looking, hot crowd

by yytamara

good looking hot crowd, quite classy, music is not very dancing but bearable, definitely will be back, though the drinks are quite pricey, there is no place to sit unless you order vip

• Pros: hot crowd
• Cons: pricey

Longtime River North nightclub reopens following renovations to a similar, house-music-loving, late-night crowd.

In Short
The million-plus spent on updating the basement space evaporated into pricey-looking upholstered booths, fancy lighting, glass panels, crisper sound and a raised DJ nook. The bathrooms benefited most; a parlor-like alcove between the men's and women's is a relatively quiet retreat, perfect for cell usage. Apart from some nifty wood paneling, the bars remain the same, although the offerings have been updated to include creative, market-fresh cocktails and interesting champagne-truffle pairings. The soul of the place--the banging, late-night music--hasn't suffered; quality DJs spin regularly.
