Mix Ultra Lounge, part 2


I took a quick stroll down Broadway on Monday afternoon to chat with DJ Roonie G, the owner of Mix Ultra Lounge. The club opened Friday in downtown Columbus.

I stopped by briefly on opening night, but wanted to confirm some specific details.

Roonie said the nightclub, which occupies a spot formerly known as Savana's/Rumors/The Oasis, will hold its official grand opening in early July.

But it's open for business Wednesday-Saturday and doors open at 9 p.m. Roonie G, who hails from Columbus but regularly performs in places like Vegas, plans to perform every Wednesday. Ladies get in free Wednesday nights.

Otherwise, cover is $5 weeknights and $10 weekends. Drink prices are about $3-$4 for beer. Other drinks are generally between $5 and $10.

In an earlier post, I wrote about Friday night's strict dress code. Roonie insists it's not that strict. He says contrary to what I saw Friday, guys don't have to wear a collared shirt. Basically, you just have to look presentable. I still recommend going more formal than usual just in case.

Finally, the photo at the top of this post shows some of the VIP tables available at Mix. Table rental is $100 and includes seating for four (no cover charge necessary) and a bottle of champagne.

To reserve a table, call 706-221-2112.
