Glad to see they'll be doing something with that fugly brick façade!
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.
DIA gives initial approval for funding....and DDRB approved their plans at their last meeting.

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