More information on 169 on Long

This cavernous second floor venue serves as a hip lounge bar. The sounds are smooth and the patrons a mode. When 169 is happening, the large balcony area overlooking Long Street seethes with sweaty humanity overflowing from the debauchery inside. Look out for live jazz events and the now famous Mo-Funk parties - if Motown, Funk, Soul, Disco and Groove turn you on. Take the promoter's advice and learn how to dance from the waist down. Yeah baby!
