If you walk down College Street past the Epicentre past Cosmos past AlleyCat keep going keep going you have arrived at your destination: Luna Lounge, Uptowns newest nightlife lounge.
The space is unrecognizable from when ugly coyotes were dancing on the bar. For starters the place is clean now. And it now has VIP couches lining the dance floor and a solarium, glassed-in patio. The ambiance has been completely renovated to a more elegant caliber. I cant speak for the caliber of the men, however. One inebriated non-gentleman was such a groping groupie to my friend, I had to tell him that she has a venereal disease of the skin and if you so much as touch her youll get a disease of the dick ... just so he would quit touching her. He still didnt. But dont get me wrong, there were a lot of cool people there when I went last Thursday (and a lot of people in general).
Note: picture is pretty accurate to guy-girl ratio, ladies ;)
Luna intends to keep the momentum going from their grand opening with their calendar of weekly events including
Monday: Rehab
Lunas Steps to Rehab
First Step: Admit to yourself you have a problem.
Second Step: Realizing that you have gone to the same place every night for the past several years.
Third Step: Find a cure.
And the cure is ... (Rehab at Luna Lounge)
Typically my Monday nights are spent in Rehab which to me means staying in and watching Weeds on Showtime and DVRed episodes of 30 Rock.
Thursday: ROCK * IT night presented by Sleeping Giant
Friday: TEC HOUSE with DJ's Nick Spain, Steven K. , Rob Reeves & Kaotika
Saturday: Loca Luna International night because Saturdays are for just getting crazy.
The guys of Sunset Club, KISS Lounge, and now LUNA have the lounge thing down pat and they have been successful in putting party palaces off the beaten path.
Luna Lounge, located on College Street between 8th & 9th, is a little bit off the beaten path well, if youre wearing heels it is. But the best part about being off the beaten path is the free parking. But the bad thing is the fact theres an apartment building right next door so the noise coming from the patio might be an issue. In fact, the DJ has already been shushed
