Plaza Midwood-ers rejoice! With the opening of Volume lounge and night club, your neighborhood finally has a sizable place to shake your groove thang. Yep, that’s right, an intentional dance club. Volume boasts several things that some of the other night life spots within walking distance lack, most notably two ample bars to trim drink-waiting time and liberal dance-floor square footage, without sacrificing the hip and casual vibe the Plaza Midwood is known for.

Volume opened its doors last weekend and welcomed a sizable host of people, monsters, goblins and ghouls. The general manager, Brian, explained to me that they are aiming to be the new hot spot by having two distinct atmospheres in one venue by utilizing a split infrastructure. One side is a sleek lounge, in which you can order in delicious treats from The Peculiar Rabbit, and the other half of the space is an all-out club environment complete with DJ and separated VIP areas. Currently unique to Plaza Midwood, Volume’s style and setup provides a little something for everyone looking for their brand of a night on the town.

I, being one who prefers to get tipsy and dance-sweaty in that order, found the drink selection, music and accommodations for spastic flailing to be of the highest quality. Next time you are looking for a new spot to try for a special occasion or just a general night that calls for social libations, I suggest giving Volume a turn.
