Afterlife

Description

The scene at Afterlife recalls warehouse raves of the '80s. Since 2004, the nondescript dance house has opened only on weekends, pumping electronica and hardcore into the night off the Northwest Highway service road. Anyone age 17 and older is welcome, and the crowd is generally young. The bar is nonalcoholic, serving water, energy drinks and Gatorade to parched party animals. For larger events, the club features an outside stage and second building. Disco balls and old leather couches ornament the separate rooms. Any other decoration is extraneous, as club-goers can't take their eyes off the glow sticks tracing light among the crowd.
