BlackBook Lowdown

Richie Akiva and Scott Sartiano team up with Jeffrey Jah and Ronnie Madra and strike again. “One of a Kind” suggested by name backed somewhat by top design. Wood-paneled exterior exudes masculine charm, matched by ostrich-leather seating and fireplace inside. Horseshoe banquettes parked on zigzagging black and white floor. Babel-like assemblage of letters for wall art, plus paired psychosexual paintings. Smoking patio for your cancer-courting convenience. Don’t expect much uniqueness by way of the moneyed crowd, however.

Pretentious. Obviously. But somehow still personal and fun. Mirrored smoking lounge begs for you to pick your dirty habit back up. Talented staff and worthy DJs. A velvet rope worth breeching, if your wallet or arm-candy can swing it.

Dying?

Recently the crowd, and by crowd I mean during the week, the normal crowd, not a friday-saturday biz, has been overrun by dudes, not all horrible, many actually pretty cool kids and by crowd I mean during the week, the normal crowd, not a friday-saturday biz. I used to come here as an escape from the over promoted bottle freak crowds at tenjune and marquee, or after a long night at socialista. just before socialista closed the reverse started to happen where oak would become too crowded with anyone and everyone, no vibe so to speak, and I would retreat to socialista. anyway just want to say, cool place, keep it cool please, for the sake of night life. Do I have to go to beatrice every night now?
