Profile

This venue is closed.

Reminiscent of a posh Long Island beach house—white, modern, and serene—Glo is divided into three levels, each with its own bar and social strata. Table-service patrons can enjoy raised platform seating that wraps around the sizeable dance floor, while upstairs, the untouchables get little more than a bird's eye view of the action and each other's fabulous company. But plebes take heart: The main area offers the best bar—made from white pebbles and lit by neon tubing—plus plenty of space to dance to frivolous Franz Ferdinand and Prince remixes, which blare from giant white speakers that hover like space stations above the dance floor.
