THE CROWN ROOM - IMAGE: rosnaps.com
On a recent bass-heavy Thursday night at The Crown Room (205 NW 4th Ave., thecrownroom.net),
I was able to mingle freely and bro out with a diverse collection of
enthusiastic partygoers—most of whom happened to be DJs
themselves—gathered in booths and around the periphery of the roomy
dance floor. The well-stocked bar, ornamented with a huge glowing bust
of Jesus holding what looks like a whiskey sour, had everything short of
blender drinks. Cocktails generally run $5, well drinks a little less.
Beer-wise, the Crown Room has Deschutes and your typical Milwaukee
beers. The club, perhaps best known for its Tuesday dubstep nights, is
more relaxed than one might assume, and a “dance-if-you-want-to” vibe
prevails. I left with a good buzz, a ringing in my ears and 10 new
friends. Not bad for a $5 cover.
