Oct. 9th - A sad nite in Hoboken

It's the last night for River St. :cry: Now it's gonna be called Lana Lounge.

WTF, really?

I've never been a big club person, but I've been to River St. plenty of times.

Any major changes besides the name?

Yeah, the place looks a little different. The Grand opening for Lana lounge is gonna be this Saturday October 16th. KTU is gonna do a live broadcast from there also. I wonder is I can use my my River St. free passes. I have a stack of them. hehe

The name Lana Lounge sounds kinda lame to me. I am sure things are going  to change though, why else for the name change.

I agree, the name is kinda gay. It looks like they're trying to pull off a NY-style lounge. Whatever the case is, I hope it's for the better.

I finally got around to checking out Lana's Lounge this weekend.  I used to go to River Street every now and then but I just havn't been in Hoboken much in a while.

Its not bad.  The main difference is the music and the prices.  They play more of a variety of music.  Before it was a lot more techno/dance with big thumping bass all night.  Now they play some of that, but more hip-hop and reggae, etc.  Drink prices are noticeably higher though.  After the first round I stuck to water (which was still $4 for a bottle of poland spring).  We were out for my girlfriends birthday so I didn't care, but for a normal night of partying its a little pricy.  Although getting you drink on at a cheaper bar and then heading to Lana's for the dancing isn't a bad idea.

It really isn't like a lounge though, IMO.  I've been to a few lounges in NYC, and Lana's is still a dance club, despite the name change.

Just thought this post could use a follow-up
