This one hits the ground running, yet Levels sits still.

Yeah, but is this going to be Upscale and Grown?

Not sure about this place. There's also a myth or myst night club attached to this address. Actually, this is the first i've heard of anything different. Maybe a combination "upscale" restaurant/club.  There happens to be a website for the restaurant itself www.elementjax.com. There's also a facebook page for myth night club, but nothing is there but a logo. And apparently they have reviews already.
I'm fairly sure one of the owners or partners in this place runs a hookah lounge by the same name that i was not much of a fan of. The staff was awful (i have heard they got rid of the old staff but i have not been in months) They did not check IDs, and fell for the worst fake IDs i've seen. Fights were a regular occurrence as well. A very rowdy crowd for a hookah lounge where it should be more of a relaxed atmosphere.

Only time will tell honestly, but if its somehow connected to the Element Hookah lounge, chances are i won't be there.

when you run $10 all you can drink all night deals, well you get what that gives...

True. Though it takes a lot of half-filled plastic cups of bud light to get drunk enough to want to fight. I'd also be expecting unknown/unannounced price changes that you won't know about until you close your tab/check.
I think its now $12 all you can drink and $15 all you can smoke at the element lounge. I wish i could be excited about what's going on at Bay street, but its already not a good impression. You'd think people wouldn't have to worry about such things a block from the jail.

I much prefer these types of venues in the elbow than in Riverside. Bay Street is a great place to go bar hoping.
