Velvet Dog   

The SceneThere's one window that gets plenty of talk at the Dog: It's a one-way mirror in the men's room that overlooks the dance floor, allowing visiting males a gander at the evening's prospects. But the ground-level innovations stop with the pee(p) show. Its first floor possesses all the familiar trappings of a typical dance club. However, this relatively swank Warehouse District spot added two more floors that pull in huge weekend crowds.The DrawWhat may seem like a thinning of the crowd may actually be the pull of the third floor--a smaller, hip zone that includes a lively open rooftop bar. These flashes of inspiration bode well for the future, because the Dog already enjoys the reputation for being one of the better-maintained pop stops on the dance circuit. It also offers a clean blend of safe, '80s-influenced dance cuts, perfect for the young professional crowd.
