Good Fortune

Call us picky, but when we go clubbing we look for more than a warm body
to get lucky with. Satisfying all our requisites for a riotous time (and
then some) is the new Fortune
Sound Club. Herewith, eight reasons (because its the luckiest
number) why we love it.

1. Its historic and hip address in the heart of Chinatown.
2. The
eye-catching installation in the entryway by Shepard Fairey, the artist
behind the iconic Barack Obama Hope poster.
3. That although the
beautiful brick and beam interior is made for hedonism, it has
eco-friendly design touches like LED lighting, recycled table tops and
reclaimed red oak flooring.
4. They take good sound seriously as
evidenced by their Funktion-One system, the only one of its kind in
Canada.
5. The spacious DJ booth that gives wannabe turntablists and
the just plain curious a clear view of the action.
6. The two
artist-designed rooms, one a karaoke room, the other a listening lounge.
7.
The diverse crowd of people it draws, from hipsters to hip-hoppers.
8.
Jay-Z has already been in. What are you waiting for?
