Encore Ultra Lounge

Nice bouncers, nice bartenders.
But the VIP area is downright stupid. Its on the same level as the main floor and the only difference is it has tables. Not worth paying for. The drinks are expensive (except during happy hour of course). And the bathrooms are not ok.
The dress code is strict. Ladies MUST wear heels, no boots, no dressy shoes, HEELS. No matter how good you look in those dressy flats, sandles, or boots, trust me you wont get in. Which actually is pretty awesome in a sense compared to most rva clubs who let the random girls that skip the line dressed in nothing but baby tees.

I went to Encore Ultra Lounge for drinks and good music. Encore Lounge is fairly new to the area. There’s a huge dance floor. The VIP area is roped off but it’s on the same level as the dance floor. Encore has 2 full bars. The drinks are a bit pricey .The bartenders were attentive. Encore Ultra Lounge has a nice atmosphere (grown and sexy). The dress code is strictly enforced. Polo’s for guys and heels for ladies. The lounge plays modern music. I enjoyed how the DJ mixed old and current songs. The lounge has a couple of televisions throughout. Encore offer customers hookah. The street parking can be a hassle but Encore Ultra Lounge has valet parking. I’ll be back to Encore to try the hookah. On my first visit, I give Encore Ultra Lounge a 3.5 rating.
