The Scene
Nightlifers on the north side have rapidly made the New City Compound a favourite after-hours haunt. The club boasts the best of both worlds: a live space-dubbed the Likwid Lounge for established and up-and-coming local bands and the compound, where partiers groove and shake to the latest dance tracks.
The Draw
A good venue to scope out alternative acts on the way up, New City Likwid Lounge not only gives you a generous dose of subterranean culture, it also provides an opportunity to work up a good sweat in the process. And for newcomers who may feel intimidated by the out-there atmosphere, a friendly vibe running throughout both spaces make the experience all the more inviting. What also helps are the drink specials all week, like 75 cents for hi-balls and domestic beer on Wednesdays, and $2.75 pints and hi-balls on Saturdays.
