READERS' PICK BEST DANCE CLUB (TIE)
Award Winner 2010

Entertainment: DJs

Description

For years Exposition Park's Fallout Lounge has been a hipster hub for the neighborhood. The reason? Cheap drinks and good music, emphasis on the music. The bar draws some of the area's top playlisters and the occasional band to its small, narrow space. The long bar on the left stretches almost to the back of the room. And the crammed tables and chairs on the opposite side eliminate any sense of personal space. But who needs personal space when you've got cheap drinks and good music?

2009 | Best Dance Club

Don't expect a red carpet or a VIP list here--it's a divey sort of place where you can never be sure what lies in store. Relatively small and cave-like, with a rustic concrete floor and DJs spinning on the weekends, it tends to turn into an all-out dance party on Friday nights. Like any dance party worth its salt, this includes a decent dose of '80s music, along with some contemporary tracks in the mix. The crowd is generally laidback, the same people who patronize The Amsterdam and The... More »
2008 | Best Dance Club

Fallout Lounge is small and intimate with just enough room to dance. There's a down-to-earth vibe that's the antithesis of the city's see-and-be-seen, must-be-on-the-list meat markets. Fallout can be mellow, a perfect place to go on a weeknight or after a show to sink into comfy couches while DJs spin lounge sounds. But on the weekends it's a great place to dance with a packed house and fast-movin' beats. Whether full or empty, weeknight or weekend, the drinks are strong, the tunes are solid... More »
2005 | Best Open Mike

Most open mike nights are painful affairs. You bring your guitar and your songs, and everyone else brings their best Dave Matthews impersonations. Not at the Fallout, where the open mike draws everyone from talented unknowns with great record collections to established local talents. Local scenester Tania Rivas founded Open Mike Mondays in April 2004 but has since handed over hosting duties to Jeb Hagan, who faithfully enforces the most important rule of Open Mike Mondays--thou shalt not ask...

2004 | Best Drink-In Movies

Some theaters have brought the beer and liquor to the movies, but Fallout Lounge has a better idea: Bring the movies to the liquor and beer. Each Tuesday, the Expo Park bar's staff shows two to three movies, beginning at 9 p.m. with a new release such as Fahrenheit 9/11, followed by some older releases such as Rushmore, Office Space or Three Amigos. There was even a Back to the Future trilogy night. Admission is free, and drinks cost less than a rental at Blockbuster with $2 wells and... More »

Patricia Rodriguez Still Relies On The Pre-Show Advice Ian MacKaye Once Gave Her Band

Given her DJ nickname of Tigerbee, maybe it's not surprising that Patricia Rodriguez is a very busy person. When she isn't working on her artwork, she serves as one of the main people behind the theme... More »

This is my favorite place to dance, hands-down. Ulisses (the owner) is awesome!
