REVIEW OF JUSTE LOUNGE IN BETHESDA
Grand Opening of Juste Lounge
I went to the grand opening of Juste Lounge which used to be Thyme Out in Bethesda.
When I first went to the Thyme Out opening I was not happy but I knew my girl Eileen Torres would make the adjustments that needed to be made and I just had to be patient. We all have been in a bad mood around here after Yuca shut down the Latin Night and we really did not have a place that we felt comfortable to go out on Saturdays. Well Eileen has made the adjustments and then some. If you remember I was not happy when it was Thyme Out. The dance floor was very sticky and very small , The place was dark and again it seemed like I was at another place where they wanted to put salseros in a basment type atmosphere, I hated that about VIP THE LIGHTS WERE TOO DARK. I think people do not realize when you are dancing with some one you use a lot of hand signals but how can you see the signals if it seems like you are in a dark cave.where yo cant see a thing. Not only that how can I steal some one’s moves if I can barely see.
Well they have a brand new larger wood floor , The lights have brightened a bit , and hey have lovely leather couches spread out all around the room They have also added a stage for live music and Eileen is making sure the majority of music played is salsa , mambo and Cha Cha Cha , she is not like StuckOnSalsa who will not allow any merengue or Bachata to be played at their party, She will play a couple of merengues each set .
The Juste Lounge is now one of the hottest spots in the area in the area for salsa , they have good service, friendly staff, great parking and a owner who listens to what Eileen tells him . The ambiance is awesome and I think it is going to be a great success.
The grand opening had a great turnout as DJ Tony , DJ Bruno, and DJ Ricardo taking turns playing he danced music all night long.
Oh by the way Juste Lounge will be the third leg of the Fall Salsa Crawl
