Jesse McCartney kicked off the opening night celebration, performing a full set on the second story of the swank lounge. Jesse didn’t disappoint anyone who may have come out especially to see him, keeping the place packed as the enthusiastic crowd danced the night away. DJ Steve Akoi later took over, continuing to keep the energy going with patrons that were sure to party until the wee hours of the night.

It’s not only the modern furnishings that might make you feel like you’re on the beach, but five unique cocktails serve to do that as well. The specialty drinks,
all with appropriately themed names and ranging from 21 ounces to a huge 60 ounce serving, have been concocted with the summery beach essence in mind. So whether you order a Tidal Wave, Rum Keg, Shark Attack, Fog Cutter or Wipe Out, expect a tasty drink that you just might be sipping on all throughout the night!
Averaging at only $16 a plate, the menu features modern and international items by executive chef, Michael Brown. Featured items include paella risotto cakes; baked crimini mushrooms; rock shrimp quesadillas; blackened filet mignon tacos; jumbo lump crab cake; shanghai BBQ wings as well as the sturdy staples such as macaroni and cheese.
