Editorial Review for DNA Lounge – by Daniel Liszt

The Scene
Complimentary Internet kiosks are peppered throughout this two-tiered space, but the main attraction is a central dance floor. Sandwiched between an elevated stage and back bar, the roomy floor gets bathed in lights and packed with an ever-changing crowd--dictated by the night's entertainment, which can range from world-famous DJs to Incredibly Strange Wrestling. Stairs on either side of the stage wind toward the upper level, with ceilings featuring exposed pipes and heating ducts. During popular events, the upstairs back area opens up, providing an additional bar and vinyl-booth seating.

The Draw
A mammoth sound system and excellent sight lines separate DNA from lesser clones. The second floor is surrounded by guardrails and provides some of the best views of the stage. The place often stays open till the wee hours of the morning, and bar service is surprisingly efficient for a spot that can accommodate approximately 600 clubbers.

The first time I went here was on a friday, and tons of goth girls showed up. Wow! They were wearing little tiny leather and vinyl outfits, looked dirty (in a good way), and mean (in a good way). Now I usually go on the last thur. of every month when goth night is, but I havn't been too impressed. I think you should stick to Fridays at this place. It's a good solid crowd at Remedy filled with decent looking people. Get the drinks at the upstairs bar (in the back room). You get your money's worth. I like the ambience and it plays good dance music. Give it a try!

Pros: remedy, goth hangout

Cons: parking, hit-or-miss with the crowd

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I go to DNA almost every 4th Saturday. Diverse crowd, great music, plenty of room. I've had some of my best and worst experiences here. Sometimes the Dj's are incredible (if you have a chance to see DJ Mike Relm please do so) and sometimes they are god awful. Almost always the crowd is very cool and the dancing is great. I don;t bother drinking when I go, the drinks aren't that great and the bartenders are snooty, but if your looking for a good time sober style this is the place.

Pros: Great Dancing, Cheap!! 5$ or free with guest list

Cons: Expensive drinks, snooty bartenders
