Editorial Review for Vertigos – by Katie Heffernan

In Short
This dark, almost gothic downtown club lights up its dual dance floors only two nights a week. With glowing green lanterns and spinning colored beams illuminating the spacious brick walled rooms in flashes, the gussied up, largely neighborhood crowd gets flirtatious glimpses of each other from small, scattered plush lounges, or the dance floor sideline rail. The two bars, live bands and DJs--blasting hip hop and 80s hits--keep bodies and beats flowing.

I went to the club last Friday 07/11/08, which was a first for me. I usually go on Saturdays. I have to say that last Friday was the best time I've ever had at Vertigo's. Music in both rooms was really good some of the best 80’s music was played. The live tribute band, The Curse was pretty good. The crowd was filled with your typical rockabilly boys and their high maintenance girls. Parking was $9 which isn't bad and the cover was $10. Drink prices are decent just make sure to ask for the premium liquors like Ketle One or Grey Goose. The only reason why I didn't give it a 5 star was because some moron tried to start a fight with my boyfriend and some chunky girl (which is common at the club) pushed me from behind. For the most part, the crowd was pretty chill except for a few jerks.

Pros: Decent tribute bands and good music

Cons: Some jerks in the crowd, small dance floor

If you love 80's music and just want to go hang out with friends...this is the place to go. Don't park inside because it cost 10 dollars, but its free if you park outside. I got in free because I knew someone, but regularly you would pay 10 dollars. I love it here and would recommend it to anyone!! The drinks are not expensive, it has 2 rooms with great music, great place to meet new people, and couches if you get tired.

Pros: great music, short lines, friendly staff, great environment with great people

Cons: Parking
