Angelo Colon and his brother Nate, shown below, have just opened a new lounge called Venues at 237 Locust Street. Angelo describes it as a mellow place where people can go to relax, talk, and dance. The venue is BYOB and has a luxury V.I.P. lounge. The cover charge is $5 before 10 p.m. and $10 thereafter. Angelo gave us a tour of the lounge just before guests were about to arrive.
Space is available for receptions and private parties. See below for contact information.

DeleteHow was the signage for "Venues" approved by the Codes Department and HARB? It looks sharp as "graffiti" theme signage, but not historically correct!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!! A fun place to hang out and dance!

Wow so people of Columbia can not have anything because you dont like the sign? So stereotypical.. Graffiti my friend when done right is an art. Why dont you try it and see how good you are. They should be seen as artist and be given the proper opportunity to show their talent
