202 Broadway

This is a real pickle of a situation. This iconic building, long left vacant or underutilised, was relaunched several years back as 202 Broadway. Strangely, it didn’t really receive much publicity and just appeared out of the ether.
In the area and looking for a place to continue the evening at around midnight, we stopped in and found a large and airy main bar section, decorated in marble. It was largely deserted and the downstairs dancefloor was much the same. To be blunt, 202 feels like something out of a Bret Easton Ellis novel, an empty white marble palace with strobe lighting and house music zipping around the room.
Despite this, I would probably go back if the place drew a bigger crowd. A little research tells me that we were probably there during Same Same, a gay and lesbian night, although the lack of a crowd made it hard to figure this out while there. This venue hosts Jamrock on a Saturday night which might pack out a bit more, but in my experience so far, the potential has been untapped.
