Rate and Write a Review It's uncanny how Ybor City's two favorite underground hipster party nights revolve around Mother Russia. Do we have a conspiracy here? The Orpheum and Green Room's Retro Red Square Recall now has competition with Czar's new-old magistrate of fun. The modern, plush-decorated nightclub has set up headquarters in the former Tracks building, a favorite of now-thirtysomethings back in the '90s for dancing to hits by Bjork, The Smiths and New Order. Now the same people with less hair and more maturity are showing up with younger college-age and college-grad friends to shake it to hits by newer acts such as The Walkmen, The Sounds and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, along with the old-school hits from back in the day. Like its previous incarnation, the bar features two rooms with dance floors and video screens -- the side room is now called Cyberia, and artificial snow is piped in to complete the effect. Fittingly enough, vodka drinks are very popular at Czar. The decor is upscale, with 'voyeur cams' to capture the fun, plus a long bar and lovely chill-out room offering intimate booths and a long, comfy sofa to rest aging hipster bones.
