We've been working for a long time with People Lounge, not only one of our favorite venues, but also one of our preferred hang out spots. Their 2009 New Years party was great - they had open bar all night and lots of happy New Year partygoers.

 Why is People Lounge such a great place? First, the atmosphere is elegant but down to earth and the drinks are fairly priced and the customer service is great. It's a great place to go with your friends.

 People Lounge is not only a lounge/club, but also has great food - they call their restaurant People Kitchen. We like their T-bone steak as the main course and their summer rolls as appetizers are delicious. You can see their menu here: People Kitchen Menu. More...

The first time we had an event there the staff had set many things up for us already, such as a door sign for our speed dating event, and a sign at the bar with all the drink specials for our speed daters, and they gave us cards offering a free drink the next time someone came to the Kazbar, which we handed out to all our speed daters. All our participants thought the place was great, and they liked the offer of a free drink the next time they came by. More...
