The vibe system
A controlled vocabulary, so two rooms tagged the same actually feel the same.

If you like this, fly to…
The same feeling, in another city.
New York
Bossa Nova Civic Club
A tiny tropical-dark room that has outlasted every club that opened around it. Cheap, sweaty, permanently correct.
Johannesburg
Kitcheners Carvery Bar
A 1902 pub that became the room where Johannesburg’s modern scene grew up. Cheap, loud and completely unbothered by fashion.
Bangkok
DJ Station
Three floors on Silom Soi 2 and the front door of queer Bangkok since 1994.
Mumbai
Toto’s Garage
A car-repair-shop theme, a jukebox of rock, and the least fashionable good time in Bandra. Unchanged since 1993 and all the better for it.
New York
Mood Ring
Kolkata
Someplace Else
The Park Hotel’s pub, and the room that kept Indian rock alive when nowhere else would book it.
