Editorial Review for Escape Ultra-Lounge – by Amy Goetzman

In Short
Shimmering lights fade from amber to yellow to deep gold, bathing the crowd in a warm glow. Polished woodwork, sumptuous leather furniture and a sultry global soundtrack complete the club's upscale look. A steep cover charge weeds out the younger crowd. The Twin Cities' most beautiful congregate here, chatting over cocktails in the glittering, conversation-friendly lounge overlooking the skyline before the infectious deep house, hip-hop and trance beats bring them onto the dance floor.

Insider Tips

Look Good

Dress code is upscale, and strictly enforced. Dig something swanky out of the back of your closet.

When to Go

On Wednesdays, salsa music heats up the scene, while Sundays bring in 18-and-overs and let ladies in for free before 11pm.

I hear the weekends are pretty dead, so head there Thursday if you like a good crowd and very, very inexpensive cover (FREE) and drinks ($1 wells). Love the hip-hop beats, and should I mention again, super cheap drinks? If you don't like a mixed crowd (all race/ethnicity), then go somewhere else, but if you don't care and just wanna have a good time, Escape is the place for Thursday nights.

Pros: Drinks

Cons: Younger crowd 18-25

We were not impressed! Staff was rude and not helpful in any way! We came to have fun and spend some money, but by the service we received I don't think they wanted us there or our money. Bathrooms were filthy, music was boring and the dance floor was sticky with broken glass in every area. Most "upscale" nightclubs that I've been to don't allow people on the dance floor with drinks. Never will visit again!!!

Pros: none

Cons: staff, dirty
