The beautiful interior of the new Layback Lounge

The much anticipated Layback Lounge is now open for business and fully operational Wednesday to Sunday 8pm (ish) to late (ish).  Fridays and Saturdays feature live music (jam sessions are welcome as well!) and Sundays are Salsa night!  Want to be in the lope on whose playing and what’s happening – ‘like’ the Layback’s facebook page and while you’re there check out their before, during and after renovation pictures.  You can also lend them a hand in convincing Hawaiian ukulele player Taimane Gardner to play their killer new venue.

After touring Harrison’s soon to be ‘hot spot’, I am even more eager for it’s long awaited opening scheduled for sometime this July.  The Layback Lounge is located right on the waterfront of Esplanade Avenue and is the vision and hard labour of Beach Potato owner Tim Flanigan and business partner, Colin Watchorn.  Both of these highly creative individuals have put together a space that is most definitely laid back with some unique artistic touches.  From the hand stained stage, plush carpet pillars, custom lava lamps and acid washed bar the environment is not only welcoming but inspiring.  Although it’s unique details are immediately memorable it’s true value is in it’s versatility.  It’s ability to function as a relaxed games room, live music venue and facility for private functions lends it the ability to be the kick back place all year long.  So, keep your eyes and ears open for the grand opening of Harrison’s newest establishment – you won’t want to miss it!
