Kazba is pairing its grand opening celebration with a New Year’s one, but last night I got a sneak peek … but I’m not going to be sneaky about it. Here’s the scoop, for your info-tainment …
My friend Dianne said it reminds her of a bar you’d find where she’s from … she’s from the Untied Arab Emirates … not ringing a bell? … Dubai … the Middle East, if you will. So, for her to say that, they really adhered to the international theme they were going for.
It is the epitome of a lounge with its candlelit, low-to-the-floor plush seating. It was dark and comfortable. So much, in fact, I kinda wanted to take a nap. The music wasn’t too loud so it really became a possibility come midnight; all the pillows and couches lined with drapes made it rather tempting. I even had to order a Redbull, sans vodka.
My only issue with Kazba is that there’s no bathroom in it … you have to go use Mez like an outhouse. When both venues are crowded I imagine that is going to suck (i.e. New Year’s Eve) — just be sure to go out with an empty bladder, and avoid breaking the seal for as long as you can.
So is the Kazba rockin? … You be the judge
