When we arrived at the Middlesex Lounge on a Friday night around 10:30pm, there were maybe 3 people dancing; everyone else was sitting around looking painfully self-conscious and awkward. The music was really awesome (DJ Mark Estrada) but most everyone there was too lame to appreciate it. People didn't start dancing until around midnight, but even then it was barely kicking. The music was really hot--it was mostly hip hop, but unfortunately, it did nothing to save the atmosphere. The clientele was the biggest turn-off: awkward yuppies and people who were trying hard to be trendy and cool. Do not come here expecting any good dancing. There really is nothing cool about the Middlesex save the DJ.

Pros: music

Cons: clientele, atmosphere, lame dancing

Insider Tips

What to Drink

Be careful when making a night out of the lounge's house drinks, like deceptively strong dark-and-stormies and aged rum punch.
