01 / The story of this place
Make time for these
Downstairs it's all dancing, R&B sing-alongs and the occasional dance lesson, with food like fried chicken wings and secured parking. The anchor is the weekly First Class Fridays (9pm–2am, 21+), a themed party that changes week to week; in September 2026 it was a No Limit / Cash Money tribute camo party.
