Editorial Review for Europa Night Club – by Aaron Barker
In Short
A stage tucked in the corner of this bi-level Greenpoint nightclub hosts early evening acts like Sebadoh and the Mountain Goats framed in a red velvet curtain. Once the amps come unplugged, though, the floor quickly gives way to pre-gentrified crowd of young Polish locals: A DJ remixes anthems from Kool & the Gang and Toto set to neon strobe lights, and the unmistakable smell of a smoke machine wafts in the air. The only-in-New York-mix--wherein Slavic expats chug Zywiec at the horseshoe-shaped bar with stray rockers from the preceding show--is Europa at its most interesting.
Hits: Not much of a velvet rope--a quick pat down and you're in.
Misses: The tap might be out if you happen to want a Zywiec beer on draft.
