Basement & Wicked Garden
Basement, the new club below Martini Ranch, is now open. We haven’t been yet because we’re avoiding the long lines and general new club craziness. However, we’ll post an update when we do go! If you check it out, tell all what you think! Just wanted to share the word that the new hip thing is for all bars to have a bar within a bar. Funny stuff.
We did, however, stop by Wicked Garden (1403 Larimer St., owned by same owners as Jet), which used to be Open Bar which used to be Hush. And we’re here to tell you, it’s not new and improved. In fact, everything is exactly the same, except with more 80′s glam rock. Same layout, same decor, same $$$ drinks, even mostly same staff. So if you liked Hush or Open Bar, you’ll like Wicked Garden sans hip-hop and with more rock. We personally still aren’t fans – it tends to be a somewhat pretentious crowd in an overpriced bar that is trying to be rock and roll but feels like a club. Just doesn’t jive together.
