Baltimore's VIPs and wannabes welcomed a new club last weekend. Mist took over the Power Plant Live location vacated by the Iguana Cantina in July. Club owners are aiming to bring a bit of the glamor commonly associated with clubs in Miami, Las Vegas or Los Angeles to Baltimore.
"We are the largest upscale club in the area," says Bobby Dylan, owner Good Life Productions and Jetset Mafia.
The new upscale club caters to Baltimore's sporting elite and other area people-you-know and people-you-should-know. According to Dylan, Michael Phelps along with a few other sports notables attended the club's grand opening Saturday.
The club's decor, in shades of turquoise and blue, is meant to evoke a sense of water, leather ottomans make it easy to customize seating arrangements, while a giant 30-foot video screen and plasma TVs keep the party going showing videos as DJs spin tunes from dance, pop and hip-hop. Two "huge" bars also fill the space.
"We do mostly bottle service to tables. But we also have nearly every vodka made," Dylan says.
Only half of the club is currentlyopen, the other half, featuring a lounge, will open by New Years.
"We're open from 10 pm to 2 am, Friday and Saturday. Right now, we're just doing two nights a week, but later on we'll open on Thursday, but for now we're concentrating on Friday and Saturday," says Dylan.
