Sapphire Lounge: The dance floor is the shining star in this 15-year-old establishment. Sapphire is a late-night hangout for the dance-crazed, and dance you will. The DJ, tucked away in his red-velvet-curtained nook, spins an array of heart-thumping beats that are so bass-heavy they could revive a flat-liner across town. A handful of tables speckle the periphery and an ’80s-esque statue of an androgynous figure poised next to a stained-glass window are part of the random décor. The young cavort with the not-so-young in the back room on red pleather seats. The beer is only sold by the bottle, and is cheap enough to keep ’em coming in all night. |
