This club opens its doors on Friday and Saturday nights and features disco, house, Latin and high-energy dance music. (During the rest of the week, it's available as a "private event facility") The clientele is mixed (by club standards, that is), and the dress code (no tank tops, sleeveless shirts, athletic shoes, cutoffs or jeans--unless you wear them well) is strictly enforced.
