ilounge

On to the next spot. The DJ was kind of wack.

I'm a huge fan of SNL as of late and one of my favorite characters is Stefon. Stefon is a city correspondent for the weekend update played by Bill Hader, and gives advice on local places that are totally inappropriate for Seth Meyers' demographic. <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbc.com%2Fsaturday-night-live%2Fvideo%2Fweekend-update-stefon-on-spring%2Fn13450%2F&s=bcfef3eff5b9d7c76af6f872309013f8c16dfee0d31ba88d54762bb91b0691c3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.nbc.com/satur…</a>

So thats a little of what ilounge was like to me. We happened to come here on NYE after all other bars had closed and a few friends wanted to keep the party going ( I'd started yawning at that point, but w/e) I think my experience was a little different since it was on a holiday ($30 at the door and $10 drinks). It had everything... ed hardy/ affliction t shirts, skimpy dresses, heels, hookahs, Persian people, the tongue and groove crowd, 90s music videos, strobe lights, EDM/ trance, 1 bathroom, general lawlessness... So fascinating. Sat at a booth for a while, then some pornstar/ strippers sat next to us and started making out. still fascinating. So I guess i'll have to go back on a regular night to see what it's really like since I hear its open late. Thanks for the ridiculous NYE people watching until 4 or 5 am.

Pretty cool spot- a diverse crowd with diverse nights, and in a cool neighborhood, so you can check out a few spots in one evening. Parking on the street can usually be managed.

The staff is friendly. The tunes and video feeds are cool. The decor is retro modern, kinda cool but could probably use an update.

Cover is sometimes a little steep, but bear in mind that the $ is going to the entertainer for the evening. Its a cool place worth checking out, esp if you like the band or DJ playing.
