Phoenix Underground

I've always liked this venue, even dating back to the more misfortunate days when it had the cheesiest of cheesy monikers bestowed upon it, as The G Spot (bleck, I mean really?) The name now, is not much better, a Phoenix is supposed to rise from the ashes, not be underground, but whatev...I like the layout, the place is actually underground, so they got that part right. These days, the only time I visit this place is when they host the annual cigar-smoking celebration called Smoking On The Red (read my review here on Yelp) as they have done every April for the last couple of years or so. You take an elevator down to the basement (this was also once an old bank) and proceed with the partying! It's open til 6am for even the most hardcore of partiers (yeaaah boyyyyeeee!), but not this 41 year-old (noooo boyyyyeeee!) 'cause that's way past my bedtime!

Line dancing to hip hop music....whoa! That's the first.

Drinks okay...good mix of people...elevator ride w/creepy unknown frat boys...eww..waited till next ride.  Some ppl were obviously too intoxicated to be let in but that didn't bother the employees...regulars maybe? Interesting night..fun time overall. My only tip for ladies..guys can get pushy so travel in packs. ;-)
