Ivory Lounge

My girls brought me here to dance for my bachelorette party. Not being from Sarasota, they based their decision through online reviews. We came on a Saturday night and it was pretty empty at first. The crowd picked up quickly though. The DJs played top 40s and hip hop. I had lots of fun, the drinks were pretty good, and I dance so hard I sprained my ankle.

It's the only worthy place to go for good music and dancing in Sarasota!

So many nights there that pretty much end up the same.  Regular dj on fridays plays the same stuff that he played the week before but the crowd is too drunk to notice.  The setup is all wrong.  The front entrance leads to the tiny dance floor which leads to the bathroom.  So imagine feeling like a sardine while surrounded by uber shallow people while being bumped so someone can get to the bathroom.

The only time I really enjoy myself is when a visiting dj plays.  No, I do enjoy real house and techno not top 40 fist pump crap from the Jersey Shore.  Thank goodness for the friendly staff and usual drink specials on Fri and Sat.  The fish tank above the bar is super nice as well.  I would imagine the VIP area is the place to be to avoid all the Jersey Shore action.
