Ion Club & Diagning Lounge

We are located up in the JMD Regent Arcade Mall on M G Road. It’s a bit of a process getting everything ready for the evening every day. In the afternoons, the lounge is quiet, and we spend that time cleaning the floors and polishing the glasses at the bar. It’s funny how different the place looks when the lights are all the way up and there’s no music playing. We have to check the sound system almost every day because something always seems to wiggle loose or stop working. Once the sun goes down and the mall starts to fill up, we get everything in place for the night. It’s a lot of standing on your feet for hours at a time. Sometimes the crowd is great and everyone is just having a good time, and other times we have to deal with people who have had a bit too much to drink. We just handle it as it comes. The staff is like a little family because we’re the only ones here until the early hours of the morning. It’s not always easy work, especially when you’re tired and still have to clean up after everyone has finally left. But there’s a certain feeling to it when the room is full and things are going well. We don't pretend to be anything more than a place to hang out.
