Epic Nightclub & Afterhours

I was invited to Epic Nightclub’s pre-​grand opening party last month.
Whenever I hear Beyonce’s «Single Ladies», I think of Epic. Not only was the place full of single[1] women, the DJ blasted the song at least twice; its frenzied pace and catchy rhythm fit perfectly. The sound system sounded pretty good, and sure had volume.
This afterhours spot closes at 9 AM[2], so there’s plenty of time for mischief, especially if you’re arriving from another party. Their interior is large and loft-​like, with multiple floors, multiple bars, and enough VIP tables to accommodate a fair number of groups. While smoking’s permitted, there’s enough space so you might not stink like an ashtray the next morning — at least, not too badly.
After a few drinks, well-​dressed partygoers took it to the dance floor. The edge of the dance floor was a minor tripping hazard: a few girls (and guys, including myself) stumbled at times. Besides that, a fog machine and a rather-​impressive laser light show kept folks dancing.
Loved the cordial security and friendly staff[3], including bartender Alli, who I almost tipped $ 20. (She double-​checked with me, which was honest of her!) Shotgirls did their thing, enthusiastic go-​go dancers strutted their stuff, and attractive servers kept order, delivering drinks, and ensuring only the right people could get to their VIP tables. Bravo to the volunteer go-​go dancers who jumped on stage during the go-​go dancers’s break, including a young lady in a black-​and-​white skirt.
