Editorial Review for W Lounge – by Ed Richards
The Scene
With its clandestine location behind Mo's Neighborhood Grill, this relatively small, intimate lounge is a definite find. With retro furnishings, including an art deco couch and requisite disco ball and hanging artwork of the steel variety, the place has a hipster-meets-industrial feel and attracts a wide range of people from the city's hipster contingent: beautiful people, the electronica elite, the tattooed crowd and the scene-sampling college set.
The Draw
A night at the W can feel like an underground, invitation-only party. The club's cozy feel translates into a high-energy scene even with the slightest crowd. It's the place where those who create electronica sounds and deep beats come to hear others play. Variety is key--depending on the night, you may find yourself packing the dance floor to deep house or casually taking a seat to take in the downtempo grooves of acid jazz. If you appreciate great electronic music, a luscious atmosphere and fun people without the cavernous environs of Salt Lake's bigger clubs, you'll dig it.

W is discovery I made about a year ago and it has been a consistent spot for me and my friends ever since. I am not really sure what exactly it is about the scene there but it grows on you. There drinks are nothing special really, for me it is more about the music. They have a Trance friday, an amazing Deep House Saturday, and this cool Trip Hop sunday. I don't know much about the music scene here in SLC ( I am from Denver) but they seem to know what poeple to get for each night. If you go on a Saturday around 12 am be ready to sweat on the dance floor. When I am dancing I usually just get bottled domestic beers becuase it gets hot.
Pros: Great dance scene. Good drink prices.
Cons: Be ready to dance on the weekends because it gets crowded.

My first time at the W lounge was great! Extremely friendly staff! They kept me entertained as I showed up early (10:00pm). Do come later, around 11:00pm. Aftewards the club was packed. Great music, Friday is Disco, Techno night. Great place to go with the girls if you want to be treated right, and not have drunken, horny, boys bothering you. The crowd was diverse, and wonderfuly friendly. Certainly a place to check out, if you not into impressing perfect strangers. Membership is required.
Pros: Cozy, Friendly, Music, Great Crowd, Can Order Food From Mo's
Cons: Two Bathrooms? I only saw one. There will be a line!
