If you cannot remember much about the nightclub you were at last night,
it could be that the crowd was so utterly mesmerizing that you noticed
nothing else. Or it could have something to do with what was in those
drinks.
But what would really worry us, is if you draw a blank on the club
because it was just a plain, boring also-was. If thatís the case, we
think you need to get out more and start looking for the worldís
coolest nightclubs.
We want to feature 10 of the coolest ó the quirky, the glitzy, the ones underground and those that pop up. Let us know when you find one. By Tuija Seipell.
The trend for private "boutique rooms" has spread from bars to all
sorts of high end entertainment establishments. As we reported last
month, the quirkiest of the current crop lot is London's, 'All Star Lanes'
where patrons can enjoy a game of bowls in a private lane decked out
like a super stylish bar. Set to topple All Star Lanes from its throne
is the fabulous new Lucky Voice Private Karaoke.
As the name suggests, the London establishment offers nine private
rooms where patrons can sing their hearts out in a sleek space while
sipping equally sleek cocktails. Go forth and live out your pop star
dreams. by Lisa Evans
We've seen hot private jets and boutique bars
with a VIP edge. Could it be possible that bowling clubs are also
becoming chic? We think it might be. Smelly, creaky bowling alleys and
their sub-par fast food fare have a long way to go to become even
retro, not to mention stylish, but there is hope. Recently, everybody’s
been gushing over private bowling club All Star Lanes (pictured above) in London that apparently has managed to lure Madonna herself to its luxury and privacy.
In the Philippines, where bowling is a national sport, SM Bowling Center
(pictured abobe & below) recently opened a new alley in the country’s largest
mall, Mall of Asia in Manila. Formal blessing rites and introductory
tournaments marked the launch of this 34-lane beauty. It is the
handywork of the Melbourne Architects EAT
who also designed the SM Megamall alley in Manila. Now that we are on a
roll, we’d like to find more cool places to bowl. Please let us know if
you know where they are. By Tuija Seipell
