The Green Room at the Showbox (Downtown) No 421

Type: Nightspot
Class: Average

This unlikely attachment to the Showbox music venue is really cool. It is split into two levels: an upper bar level and a lower lounging level. The bar area has a long dark bar with lots of cool green bar stools. An Asian bartender slung us our drinks. She was cute and friendly. I would have liked to spend some time at the bar, but when you are with a group it is just does not happen.

The downstairs was completely empty. We had the entire area to ourselves so we were chillin like villains. The benches were incredibly comfortable and were strangely … soft. Red cloth light fixtures provided just the right amount of mood lighting and funky jazz filled the void. I don’t know if that was the bar’s music or if it was coming from the venue itself. It would be a little silly if it was coming from venue I supposed.

We just generally chatted and enjoyed the company. Star regaled us with some bizarre stories and we had a good time. This was a good relaxer after the earlier debacle that happened between the Mars Bar and here. We walked 6 blocks in the rain to find out that a place on our list always had a cover. I remember Star saying that the Showbox had a bar with no cover but I don’t think anyone else heard it. For some reason I didn’t speak up.

The Green Room is now notable since it was picked up by Trevor. Despite having been out with us at least half a dozen times, Trevor has now finally picked up a place and will appear on our sponsors page. I give the Green Room 4 Martini Glasses out of 5.
