I'm all for the downtown renaissance, which is why it pains me to say that I'm not too impressed by Clear Ultra Lounge, the new chic and sassy (or wannabe chic and sassy) club in the Davis Building. It opened on Friday.
The Web site said all this stuff about members-only, a classy experience, etc., but when we walked in late Friday the DJ was bumping "Grillz" (a very sports-bar song for a swanky lounge crowd -- at least give us the new Jay-Z!), and the place smelled like wet paint. Plus there were drink stains on some of the VIP lounge furniture.
Now, this was only opening night, so hopefully it gets better as time goes on.
Which brings me to my question: How many ultra-lounges can this city handle?
There's already Wish, Candle Room, Ghostbar, Suite, and on and on. Sense already closed. Not saying any of the others are going to, too (especially not Ghostbar -- seems like it's always packed), but it would be nice if a forward-thinking club owner could come up with a new concept.
