What’s your new late night hangout in Charlottesville?

late night charlottesville

While being repeatedly disappointed with the late night at Cassis and X-Lounge and there being no late night at Ten yet I can’t help but feeling an ever increasing sadness about the loss of OXO. It’s been over a month now.

What other late night spots have come up since? Are people happy with Cassis, X-Lounge and the ever exciting Escafe?

I was also wondering, we all know Shenanigans has migrated to X-Lounge, the OXO door guy is now the door guy at Cassis and another all time favorite bartender has retired altogether. What happened to the other OXO bartenders and bartendresses? I keep my eyes peeled but I can’t seem to spot them anywhere.

What are cVillain’s thoughts?

    I’ve been struggling recently and I’m glad you brought this up Byard.

    Students are almost back in town which means that Zo Ca Lo and Ten should be getting a lot more crowded, but honestly I’ve been digging Bang just because it’s a little less crowded than most and has cuter ladies. Latenight at Mas can get pretty exciting, but I always feel out of place at Cassis.. I mean that place is R2 version 2.0.

    I think cassis has issues because, partly, of the bartender (hopefully you know which one I’m talking about). He is very moody, sometimes pretentious, and just not my cup of tea. However, he is moving out of cville soon, so we’ll see how cassis progresses without him. Mas is amazing! And miss melissa is the greatest waitress btw…

    Since OXO closed, I have moved my late night partying to X Lounge. It’s mostly because shenanigans is there which means countless other Villians will also be there, but some nights, it just seems a bit off. I’m still trying to figure out where the old OXO crowd is going. Has it split up into multiple smaller groups with some at Cassis, some at X and others elsewhere? Who knows, I’m usually pretty drunk by the time late night comes around. Throw in a couple shots, and I’d have a good time just about anywhere.

    I’m not one that goes out often (nowhere near echo’s 6-7 nights a week, I may do that in 3 months at most) but I did enjoy OXO while it was here. What was it that they had that others have yet to reproduce? Was it that velvet rope with the door guy that made it seem like a really cool club? Was it the dance floor that go so crowded that people couldn’t see how terrible of a dancer you were? Is there something that a place like X could do to get that “status”? I always thought it was Shen and maybe word hasn’t gotten out enough that she’s elsewhere.

  13. 01 Aug 2008 at 9:58 amuva non-dousche said:

    Speaking of tips, I have a question…How much does everyone usually tip at a restaurant and at a bar? (Include variations for good/poor service, servers that are friends, type of restaurant, etc.) I personally have been a part time waitress at various places for several years, and in turn, i usually tip over 20% if the service is good, 20% if the service was mediocre, and RARELY less, the service has to be very bad (ex: IHOP one morning when the waitress told me and my friends that “she’d get to us in a minute, we weren’t exactly at the top of her priority list at the moment” and then brought us all the wrong food). Bar tabs, if I like the bartender and/or he or she was good, usually 20%.

  14. 01 Aug 2008 at 10:05 am434, baby! said:

    I’d give Cassis a fair chance before writing it off: OXO once felt like R2 as well and it took time and adjusting to achieve what it became. Restaurants and scenes are **hopefully** always striving to improve, so constructive criticism is great.

    @ 1: Thor, I love Bang as well. Not to mention that their drinks are awesome and the Bangaritas (both the drink and the lovely ladies in the waitstaff) are awesome

  28. 01 Aug 2008 at 10:44 amByard said:

    Thanks for all the responses. I was hoping to get more information about the whereabouts of the former OXO staff because there were more people that made it happen than just Shenanigans, but maybe that’s just me.

    @ 8 and 4 I think the cool thing about OXO was that you had a very diverse crowd that always gave you the feeling of being at the only “in” place on town. My partner and I always felt special and recognized by staff and guests but you didn’t have to socialize if you didn’t feel like it. There were of yourse plenty of downsides (bathrooms, crowded dancefloor, ADD DJs, prices) but somehow the love that went into the project by the owners and staff made it special. For more praise, see the ancient OXO obituary post in the cVillain archives.

    @ the rest: All the other suggestions are great but I feel most of them lack the dancing element as well as a chance to safely check out people other than the bartenders/bartendresses.

    X-Lounge…I am sorry but sound system as well as the too bright lighting of the dancefloor make it impossible to get in the mood. There are always one or two people awkwardly dancing but not OXO type crowds.

    That said, I have increasingly become a fan of ZINC. They had a couple of concerts there and I believe they could start a dance night there too.

    Tuffster, is it actually moving day?

  30. 01 Aug 2008 at 10:54 amLu Sid said:

    I miss OXO so very much. X-Lounge is a poor substitute, I have never really cared for Zo Ca Lo, and I really think the Zinc scene is lacking. There is always Blue Light, but that gets old FAST. I say cvillains devise a new location and make it happen. I can so see birdies at Bang or anywhere else.

  31. 01 Aug 2008 at 10:58 ambelmont yo said:

    and the ever exciting Escafe?

    Is this sarcasm? As I understand it, the GM at snatch will be adding a disco ball, fog machine, strobe and some other elements for the dance party there very shortly. I will believe it when I see it, but its at least being kicked around. It would make a HUGE difference.

    And out of curiosity, what would improve the sound system at X? What is an ADD DJ?

    The sound syatem at X is incredible; the problem is the levels appear to be set the same throughout. What may be a good level for the dance floor isn’t for the rest of the place. Then again I’m old.

  37. 01 Aug 2008 at 11:13 amByard said:

    @ 30 let’s make Zinc happen…

    @ 31 No that was no sarcasm at all. I was trying to emphasize that Escafe has a longer tradition of late night than OXO and that at least I always had a great time there. But somehow it’s not what I liked about OXO. I guess we’ll find out what Escafe can do tomorrow night! At the cVillain party.

    As for the sound system at X-Lounge: I believe you cannot have a sub-woofer system and suspend the sub-woofer from the ceiling. It’s an expensive system but whoever installed it did not know what they were doing. Bass travels through the ground. So the woofer needs to sit on the floor. The result is that no matter how loud the music is it never feels present and thus never makes you want to dance.

    @ 33 Oh man, I hear you! That guy sucks!

    And that reminds me, I gotta get that stuff back from 2o4… i’m such an airhead.

    @ 36 & 37 I wonder if it would help if I brought my two SP 15’s and put them on the floor right in front of the dance floor? That might create an “immediate” sound zone for the dance floor. Who knows, though.

    We’re trying to make Cassis a fun place to go and dance, but it’s tough. I’ve DJed a couple of Saturdays there and all anyone wants to hear is “love in this club” and “lollipop”.

    Customers can be so bitchy. Last night a group of people came in and demanded that I play Hip-Hop because “that’s what they wanted to dance to.” We had billed last night as an 80’s night but, sure, whatever. If people wanna dance to hip-hop… When I finally put on “Low” there was a little dancing, but then they all sat back down. A few songs later I switched to 80’s and people were dancing, but later these same girls came back and told me to play more hip-hop. I’m not a jukebox. Vote for the music with your bodies.

    That’s just where the old people live.

    OMG are they actually leaving the building now?!

  102. 01 Aug 2008 at 2:56 pmThisSideUp said:

    They’re probably getting a head start on cougar time at Blue Light.

  103. 01 Aug 2008 at 2:56 pmecho said:

    Yeah, they got tired of all the gangs, so they decided to take back the streets, one small, slow step at a time. The power is going their heads though. They’re even walking out on tabs without paying.

    But this is very off topic. Let’s cease and desist.

    Yes. Before we are tackled on the downtown mall by one of the comment monitors.

    Apropos of nothing I will mention that the best dish at Guad is the Carnitas. Hey at least they have a deck.

    Yeah but if you mix their queso dip with the salsa, omfg it hurts later.

    Speaking of mono loco they have a killer line up for this monday night. a bunch of bands from nashville who were booked at Saxx are playing: charlie Kind Nevada Newman and Famous Jake of the Asylum street Spankers. it whould but something to dod on an otherwise boring night of the week. as far as the chef from the local who went to jail I heared he posted bond the next morning. And I didn’t think mono loco hired male servers.?

    @3: hey uva non-”dousche” if you don’t like the bartender at cassis, don’t go there. you’d be moody too if you had to deal with the riff raff that comes in there and doesn’t tip. oh, and learn to spell “douche” correctly too.

  116. 02 Aug 2008 at 6:44 pmdieter said:

    @115 that’s not the right answer, just because the crowd is rowdy doesn’t mean the bartender can be a inhospitable. I know the bartender in question and he can be surly and not given to the customer arts. He’s young and thinks he’s got it all figured out. I will admit that he is quite versed in wine knowledge for someone barely old enough to drink but that doesn’t excuse the attitude. It ain’t called the service industry for nothin’

    WTF?! i just got this email:

    “Cassis is going to covers because Rapture is closing and they don’t want the riffraff, but I’m on the list.”

    can someone please explain?

    P.S. Cassis: playing all that hip hop brings the “riff raff” in.

    I have a question: can someone make a list (or is there already a list on this site) of all the places downtown and on the Corner that serve late night food betweeen 10p and 2am?

    Your question was broken, so I fixed it for you.

  124. 14 Sep 2008 at 4:15 pmCurious said:

    I really don’t mind all that. I’m just tired of always eating at Wendy’s or McDonald’s because I can’t tell which of the better restaurants are open on which nights

  125. 14 Sep 2008 at 6:53 pmorchid said:

    fri & sat open until 1045: continental divide

    gee, as usual, waiting for the late night comments… and am again, supremely disappointed…

    You could try Fark. I think those folks are up at all hours.

    Late nights here are slow, because we became a high-brow intellectual blogue. Everyone’s busy working on his or her dissertation and shit.

    what the heck is fark?

    /thanks you much, stanley

    I’m totally up at all hours, it’s a moral failing, I know

    Um, btw, are you sayin’ I’m not high-bow intellectual, etc.???? Taking offense…

  134. 14 Sep 2008 at 11:55 pmbackup planet said:

    I just friggin’ stay up late. That has nothing to do with how many brain cells/neurons are firing…

  136. 15 Sep 2008 at 12:04 amStanley said:

    By all means, no. Stick around. We have boxed wine in the kitchen and a fresh box of Bugles™ in the cupboard. We also have eleventy tonnes of umbrage in storage we can pull out, and we’ll do so as needed.

  137. 15 Sep 2008 at 12:13 ambackup planet said:

    already read that someone has an e-crush on the word “eleventy”. You already know I can’t bear to not hang out, but I’m thinking that if I comment too late night-ish, that somehow my comments are immediately judged to be “drunk postin’”… I’d like to say something remotely relevant from time to time, but am sensitive to ya’ll’s superior intellect… and earlier night hours
