On Saturday, sampled the first weekend of the16 months-in-the-making Joyce Champagne Lounge and Nightclub last mentioned here.

Promising start-up after a couple of fallow months. (Of course, said the same thing about opening weekends of Aura, so grain-of-salt this.)

Upsides: Banging DJs, as in Candleroom-level phat, were spinning: Richard Blake and Justin Bell. Good sound diffusion, too. Appealing decor, if you're not too tired of the white-on-white deal, which Mr. Dallas isn't quite yet. Sleek, patched-in early adopter clientele.

Downsides: No actual "champagne lounge" yet. That comes in mid- to late-September when the second-floor terrace opens up, according to owner John Reardon. No flow around the bars and through the middle of the room; big nights are going to be hard to navigate.
