DOWNTOWN. What was once the Paradise Theatre is now a revamped club, designed in masculine style with rugged wood detailing, a 17-foot-long bar, and motorcycle accents. The narrow space is three stories high, although most of the action occurs on the ground floor (the upper two floors boast smaller, balcony-like venues). A huge disco ball holds court over the space, adding punctuation. Top 40, Latin, hip-hop, and soul add flavor to the music mix, providing a backdrop for the mating dance of singles on the make. |
