"Very Promising!"
We went to the grand opening of this place and felt like we had stepped into a NYC dance club--part industrial, part chic. The only thing missing (besides the attitude) was the obligatory narrow concrete steps downstairs to the booming music--perhaps that's why they have a long concrete, canopy-covered entrance, instead. It's probably no coincidence that the owners are from the Big Apple.
It's a mid-sized club although the dance floor is pretty large and is overlooked by VIP booths upstairs. The music is the kind you hear in a lot of gay clubs, a house dance mixture that gets ya moving. There's a large, rectangular bar downstairs and a smaller one upstairs that doesn't open until later in the evening. Besides the VIP booths upstairs, there are also a bunch of pool tables packed together, supposedly an obligation due to a zoning requirement. Hopefully, they can do something about those as they consume a lot of much-needed space. For reference, the club is larger than the Gipsy and smaller than Krave.
The parking could be another issue as the front lot fills up fast. There are a couple of businesses next door and perhaps the Chinese store owners in the mall across busy Spring Mountain won't mind the extra cars--we'll see how that goes.
The inaugural employees are top notch and several are former Krave employees. Barcode has big plans for future promotions and special guests to fill up the stage at the end of the dance floor. We'll definitely be checking it out now and then especially when looking for a place to boogie but don't want to go into a casino and wait in line.
