On Saturday night I was at this new place that just opened in Ottawa…Bricktone. It opened its doors for the first Saturday ever and I was lucky enough to be working with my peeps - Ebony and Ivory (HOTTEST sound crew in the city!!!) It was the Alicia Keys CD release party for her hot new CD - “AS I AM”
Let me tell you - not only was the party HYPE to DEF! I predict that this spot will be the hottest spot of 2008. It’s a large classy club with a gourmet kitchen. At the beginning of the night we served really high end hors d’oeuvres (salmon rolls, halibut, crab spread, oysters with pecan garlic butter etc) while the music was still on the old school R&B tip.

As the night hyped up Ebony and Ivory began their Alicia Keys CD giveaways on the mic (I was lucky enough to snagg a copy - Thanks D Train!!) The music soon lived up to the excitement of everyone there - Mace started bumping Reggae, a bit of HIP HOP and A LOT of the hottest R&B out there.

The club had a great overall vibe - big enough to fit in everyone under the sun, but still keep a cozy feeling. The inside of the club is surrounded by brick walls with old pictures frames and hard wood floors. Candle light lit the room and the windows along the entire side of the club showed people who walked by - just what they were missing.

The club has a large VIP room furnished with comfy couches and ottomans for bottle service. There are two other out-of-the-way banquet rooms where couples sat at candle lit tables and enjoyed the music.

My rating for this club - DEF a 10/10!!
