Description:
OK, historic specifics out of the way first: 1234 is housed in a wonderful 17th-century greystone building that is reportedly haunted. The gargoyles and stained glass are intact, although various improvements have been made over the years. Today, the space is a dance club, owned by a group of savvy young industry types that includes celebrated DJ MC Mario. The interior has been completely revamped and is stunning, the music is a good mix of exquisitely danceable stuff, and the line-ups out front became legendary almost as soon as the place opened. |

Le Complexe Millennium |
|

|

Description:
So where do you go once the regular clubs have shut down for the night? Try Millennium, where part of the complex keeps regular club hours and the other part keeps the party going until the following morning. The place is huge, with plenty of room for getting your groove on, and the multiple bars serve a full array of thirst quenchers. Add to that the lack of a line-up and the absence of pretension, and you have a clubber's paradise. |
