The Upstairs Lounge

Situated above Mekong restaurant on South Grand, the Upstairs Lounge prides itself on what it describes as being “above the scene". With that motto in mind, this dance club/tavern/bar caters to a wide range of musical tastes. Every night of the week features a different DJ spinning different sounds. This ensures that you'll get your fix of techno, house, soul, hip-hop, hits from the 80s and 90s, goth and much more. The Upstairs Lounge also hosts special rotating club nights like Hex, for goth and industrial, and London Calling, for the best British hits. Only a few club nights charge a cover and there's never a dress code. Sleek red booths hug the walls and giant T.V. screens that often project your favorite videos add another element of cool to this cozy space. The later it gets, the busier it gets, so it's a good thing there's a second bar downstairs in the Jade Room to grab yourself a cold one. Whatever night you choose to go, you'll be glad you found this hidden gem.
