A month or so ago Lux opened in Downtown Gainesville. It’s located right next to 08 Seconds and next to The Palace/Venue, where Flashbacks used to be.

Steve, the owner had setup a private party for Grooveshark to celebrate our 100,000 user mark, which I’m happy to say we’re going to be approaching the 200k mark very soon.

Lux is a great addition to the downtown landscape, it’s catering to the upscale crowd, just like Sharab or 101 Downtown.

The drinks are a little pricey, but it goes perfectly with the upscale decour. Steve had renovated the place and created an outside patio on the second floor. You can walk up to the outside patio from the black, stainless steel staircase that’s infront of the bar.

Inside, there are marble countertops, high-quality wooden stools, and plenty of seating. What Steve told me is they want to design the place for young professionals looking to go on a date and not have to yell at each other to have a conversation.

Next time you’re looking for a place to drink downtown, and are looking for a nice upscale place, stop by Lux, you’ll enjoy your visit.
