Stopped into SPIN for a cocktail at around 8pm on a weeknight. As it turned out I was at the club on the same night as Surreal Entertainment's Pussycat Lounge. This happens at SPIN every Thursday night, so I stuck around for a second & third cocktail to find out the what the ""hype"" is all about. The DJ rolled in after ""happy hour"" came to a close, then a bit later you could hear some boombastic grooves warming up from the back of the lounge. For me at least, these beats (which at first are muffled by closed sliding doors seperating the club's dance floor & VIP room from the front bar) built up some anticipation as to what was to come. At about 10pm, the front bar REALLY begins to bounce with an eclectic mix of ""club-goers"" being served by four bartenders who hustle to make sure everyone gets a drink or two. Just about every group of ladies had one friend wander over to say ""Hey"" to the bouncer guarding the entrance to the back of the club. A power forward for the Warriors even got to SPIN early knowing the scene was about to erupt. After the floodgates opened, the dance floor filled up, the Surreal Girls took the room, and well...they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so check out the promoter's website. I didn't get a chance to grab the ""famed"" Cal-Italia pizza they serve, but I will be back soon...very soon.
Pros: Excellent DJ, great lighting & sound, attentive bartenders
