So ... what do you think?

thrill or kill

If you were in the Mood a couple years ago, settle in for a night at the Opera.

In Short

Old school nightlife impresario David Judaken--you know, the guy who brought clubgoers Garden of Eden back in the day and much later Mood--has put his stamp on this after-dark haunt on Shrader. Not even remotely recognizable from its barn-like days as Vynyl or club 1650, the redesigned spot has gone upscale. Lines build in advance of opening and stay firmly entrenched throughout the night. Those who make it past the rope step through a thin curtain of "dry" fog and myriad archways lit by candles before hitting the dance floor where DJs spin the latest thumping dance tracks.
