About Down
A few steps below street level on High Street, the room is compact: a lit dancefloor, purple-washed brick walls, low banquettes with branded tables, and a bar that sends staff round with jello shots. The music is the point, running from 70s funk and disco through 80s new wave to 90s hip-hop, with house on Thursdays and newer tracks creeping in late. Hours are 10 PM to 2 AM Thursday through Saturday. Bachelorette and birthday groups make up much of the weekend crowd, and a recent renovation drew praise. Bartenders get named for strong drinks and friendly service, while complaints single out a hostile coat-check attendant and a rude doorman. Tables and private parties can be booked through the club's site, and Google files spend at $30–50 a head. The rating is 3.4 from about 55 reviews, most of the recent ones positive.
