Well before heading out to catch Radar Complex and Habit To at Glass Magic Castle, I did my regular stop in at Zack's on Windermere Road [ex Naked on 9th Ave].

For those that haven't stopped by this venue yet, for either a sundowner to ease into the weekend, or to start the pre-clubbing shenanigans, Zack's is a great chilled spot for a Friday night, and the perfect warm up for a night out.

Dj M – lounge style... spinning sultry soundsThe mood is set by Lapis Lazuli, long time purveyors of all things progressive, host the decks, and spin an electic mix, from DJ Vasun's world-tribal-new-electronica sounds, through Dj M's loungey house grooves, Maurice Young's minimal funkiness, and DJ Bhudhu's progressive grooviness.

The mix of people is equally as eclectic, and refreshing to see in this cliquey sometimes ultra conservative and segregated town. Also there is no dress code for those that are wondering, and this probably helps the relaxed and laid back vibe.

Hawaii two ous... push the dress code and good taste boundaries...For those that aren't into the bourgeois bohemian stylings of Manna, Zack's is a great alternative to startup your weekend work out !
