This past weekend I had the pleasure of visiting one of the newest
“
GROWN & MATURE’’ night life hot spots in the A.N.D., that I’d been
hearing a lot of buzz about lately. It’s known as “
Envy Ultra
Lounge.” We’re all familiar with the kind of barbershop slash salon
reviews that most of us are accustomed to when out about moving around
the city. Feel me? This was a really special occasion for me personally,
allow me to give you a little more insight as to what I’m speaking
about.
Envy Ultra Lounge is located in the south-east section of the
city at
3425 S. Murray Ave. in Anderson SC, over the years the location
has under gone different management changes and thus different names through out the years.
For instance it’s been formerly known back in the day as
Club Ciara, and
when I last played there in an official turntable Dj capacity, before
my retirement in 05 it was named
Club Envy ironically. So now with that small and
brief back story, I hope you can clearly see now, why going back there
to review the Ultra Lounge was so significant to this brother. My homie
Dj Smash and I decided to roll out to the ultra-lounge this night, and
we were really impressed with the new direction, new interior upgrades,
that the new owners have implemented. For starters the age limit will be
considered a breath of fresh air to many (
if it continues to be
enforced)
Men 35 & Up and for the
Ladies 32 & Up and of course
the dress code is for the mature.
They have really recreated that cozy
old skool lounge atmosphere utilizing the ambient royal blue furnishing
décor throughout the bar and dance floor area.
Really impressive!!! Dj
Valentino and
Dj Jam One hold down the weekend action spinning the very
best in new and mostly old skool classics. Other guest Dj’s also will
pop in from time to time keeping everything fresh.
Holloway's Photography
is frequently in the building to help capture those memorable moments,
for you and that special someone for the evening. Overall I had a
pleasurable time talking with folks, old friends and acquaintances while
shooting pics & recording video.
I like the direction they are
heading with the
GROWN & MATURE theme and if they stay on course, as
their slogan indicates on the official Facebook page for Envy Ultra
Lounge “
Great People Deserve Great Times”. With this simple
formula in mind they are currently employing, I see no reason why “
Great Times”
for the ''
Great people'' of Anderson wouldn’t be accompanied with much
success. No longer can the skeptic haters say “
There’s no safe place to
lounge at for an evening for us grown folks” your cries have been heard!
Now stop crying, go out and support the great effort the folks at Envy Ultra
Lounge have put forth. Pics and video below, ya’ll know how I do it, always encouraging
any and all to leave comments.
NOW SOUND OFF and enjoy the pictures!!!

Post Update: 2015 New Year’s Extravaganza - Envy Ultra
Lounge (Revisited)
It seems the Year 2014 had come and gone in the twinkling of
an eye in the A.N.D., and what better time for the grown and mature to come out
and play again, for the heralding in of 2015. The Envy Ultra Lounge staff and security
team really out did themselves by providing first class entertainment for those
mature folk, all over in and around the city of Anderson and Ga. The Mid-Day
Mommie Kelly Mac from 107.3 Jmz along with her “Ryde or Die Besty “ Kimmy Mc.D (a native of Anderson) celebrated the incoming new year right here inside the city of Anderson. Top
Billing A.N.D. jocks enlisted for this unprecedented ticket were Dj Terry B and
Dj Jam One.
Being summoned to appear by my good friend Kim, so of course I just
had to be there. I jumped at the opportunity at the last minute, did the early
sound and mic check with the mixologist Terry B, just to make sure their cordless
Mic’s sounded nice before their arrival. The whole Ultra Lounge Staff that nite
were very professional and dressed to impress in formal attire. I have to tip
my hat for the hard work and superb job the Ultra Lounge Team put forth in hosting
this event with all the fabulous balloons and Happy New Year 2015 props etc.. It was a huge success and I (Dj Tuc) would personally like to
extend my gratitude to any and all who participated at this event. It was personally conveyed to me the following day and I quote " Kelly Had a Blast" an actual fact. Dem real A.N.D. players don’t
hate success we congratulate it. That’s why
I was & still am referred to as the A.N.D. Representa, now here's a few pics to provide you with that down home down to earth perspective….Peace Tuc
