You can count on solid sounds seven nights a week inside this subterranean spot, located downstairs from the live-music temple Metro. Top-notch DJs on the local, national and even international fronts spin electronic, techno, house, drum 'n' bass and goth. Dimly lit, plush booths, which are separated from the dance floor by dark drapes, provide a perfect place to take a break from the high-energy action. The large dance floor, complete with poles and platforms to dance on and around, encourages patrons to lose themselves in the music. Those who would rather watch than join in can do so at the bar and booths ringing the dance floor. The DJ booth is perched above the dance floor, and shares space with the steady stream of VIPs strolling in. TIP: Because Smart Bar and Metro are under the same management, most nights there are two-for-one ticket deals.

Why was the punk/new wave movement so magical? Because it was real!!! Go to know there is a place not superficial.
