Heyyyyyy kids!
Club Zoo in the Strip has long been a place for the under-21 set to get down, and for the rest of us to occasionally catch a rock show. (Ben Folds played there last year, for example.) The club's not going away, but this weekend it's packing up and moving to the suburbs.
The club re-opens this Saturday, Jan. 7, in Harmarville, at 2801 Freeport Rd. The old Club Zoo, in the Strip, will be re-opening as a regular, adults-only night club by spring. Zoo's owners cite the revitalization of Strip District nightlife and the desire for a more appropriate site for underage partying for the move.
The grand opening takes place Saturday night, then the club will be open Friday and Saturday nights weekly. As of right now, the plan is to continue hosting occasional live concerts at the club as well.
