Monday Night Clubs

Finally, the weekend warriors are gone. Party sans amateurs at your fave dives, lounges, or velvet roped hotspots - or all of the above to start the week out right.

Please note: Promoters are sometimes flaky and cancel events at the last minute, or take a week off, or disappear without warning. Clubbers are advised to call the venue before heading out.
