The Down Town Association
Celebrate the dawn of a new decade with an evening of debonair decadence at Dances of Vice’s “Demimonde” and traverse through a carnivalesque fete for the senses at the Down Town Association, a landmarked four story, multi-room old world speakeasy.
1st FLOOR - THE ABSINTHE BAR — To the lively tinkling of ragtime piano, savor the bitter beauty of absinthe in our lavish oak-paneled Edwardian parlour, which conjures visions of the romantic Belle Époque.
1.5 FLOOR - THE GRAND LODGE — Indulge in delicious libations before the grand fireplace of this Jacobean style lodge, which recalls the drawing room of a royal English manor house.
2nd FLOOR - THE BOHEMIAN BALLROOM — Move your feet to the hot jazz and swing rhythms of Duved & His Transatlantic Five, performing music of the "Lost Generation" as they did at Chez Bricktop's, a beacon for bohemian nightlife in the 1920s. A cavalcade of cabaret beaus and beauties will light the stage with aerial and burlesque performances throughout the night.
3rd FLOOR - THE NIGHT CLUB — As the clock strikes midnight, indulge in illicit luxury with a dash of voluptuary pleasure-seeking in our smokey neon nightclub. Bejeweled burlesque mavens, sultry songbirds and fleshy femme fatales will tease and please for your sordid entertainment, set to the salacious sounds of our dance floor DJs spinning an eclectic mix of big band, electro mashup, midnight blues, punk cabaret and sexy rock ’n roll.
THE BORDELLO (Special Ticket Required) — Furnished with all the appliances of pleasure, connoisseurs of kink from all levels of experience are invited to partake in sado-sensual fantasies in our clandestine BDSM playroom evocative of a Parisian bordello, designed to plumb the depths of your erotic psyche.
DRESS CODE — Dress to impress, and you may be invited to explore additional secret rooms housing cloak-and-dagger deeds. Black tie, vintage glamour, dandy fashion, burlesque boudoir, fetish fantasy, weimar decadence + fantasy ball dress code.
