The Mezz keeps getting better and better.
When it was the Cellblock, I never came here. It just always seemed kind of sketchy, dirty and incredibly smoky when they allowed it in there.
Fast forward a year! The DJs are phenomenal...great mix of House/Dance/Top 40 stuff. Never feels too packed, drinks are strong and bartenders are speedy. Make sure you go see Tee upstairs for the best drinks :)
I feel like this is one of the more underrated spots in town.
It's really the only competition to Indigo as far as night clubs/dance spots. Personally, I think the Mezzanine has way better lights than Indigo. They have really cool lasers and strobe lights. The DJ is usually better too. I'm a big electro/house head and this place plays a lot. I've been there before when it was mostly rap (not too much my thing), but the rap DJs are still good too (skill/technique wise).
The place has a bar on the top and a bar on the bottom. They used to have Heineken on tap which was really awesome! Otherwise, they usually have the standard $2 Bud Lights.
The bouncers are not douches either. I got kicked out a few weeks ago for being (admittedly) too drunk, but the bouncer was nice about it and actually gave me some coupons for free cover.
The only negative things I can say about this are that sometimes the crowd seems a little shady. I don't know what makes them shady, its just a vibe. Also, this is like the only place I know where you can still smoke inside so it gets a little smoky inside.
Other than that, the Mezzanine is a pretty fun night out.
