MiniBAR
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Good design, good tunes and good bar service are perhaps the three most important factors in a top class bar concept – something of which the owners of MiNiBAR, the newest venue on Amsterdam’s famous Prinsengracht canal, are obviously fully aware.
Rex
Hilversum, The Netherlands
Opened last November, Rex is the second Hilversum venue from operator Marco van Velthooven. His first, Musk, a lounge-restaurant situated just down the road from its new sibling, has proved a huge success since its launch four years ago. With Rex, van Velthooven hopes to repeat the trick on a slightly grander scale.
Liquid Club
Playa de las Americas, Tenerife
On the glistening seafront of Playa de Las Americas a three-floor building with a west-facing terrace beckons the attention of the public. Should one choose to make an approach, it is more than likely they will be suitably pleased with the discovery of a carefully designed and perfectly executed disco venue named Liquid Club.
Lush
Portrush, Ireland
A recent £1.5 million make-over has transformed thirteen year old Lush into a spring chick once again, with a dazzling new lighting install dominated by PR Lighting and a sexy Clair Bros line array, what more could the punters ask for.
LIV
Miami, USA
LIV nightclub sits at the heart of the historic Fontainebleau Resort, which recently underwent a $1 billion refurbishment to make it one of Miami’s top destinations.
Obsession
Cluj, Romania
Whilst many consider the likes of Berlin, London and Ibiza to be the clubbing hubs of Europe, on the continent’s often overlooked peripheries, there are some surprisingly high-end venues being created. Obsession in the Transylvanian town of Cluj-Napoca is a case in point.
Heat Ultra Lounge
Anaheim, USA
With a sharp finish and top-class technology, Heat Ultra Lounge at the Anaheim Gardenwalk has the high end feel more often found in Las Vegas flagship clubs. This is no accident.
Showcase
Paris, France
In a former boat shed on the River Seine under the bridge of Pont Alexandre III is Showcase, a Parisian venue which was set up by four professional musicians to cater specifically for live music.
