So I was thinking.....what if Footwork moved to the old Boa/Sonic space?
These guys are absolutely DOMINATING right now, and seem to be the only ones that have figured out how to consistently fill up a mid-sized after-hours club in this city. IMO, there is no other place in the city that has the consistency of crowd, vibe, diversity of patrons, quality of music, etc. No small feat, given the long list of failed attempts and wannabe competitors.
Could they do it? Would they want to do it? If the space is available (I have no idea), should they do it? Would such a move doom them to failure?
There are lots of other businesses that move locations, maintain their customer base, and continue to thrive and prosper. Why would this be any different?
Man, I loved that Boa/Sonic space.
Thoughts? |

I may be mistaken, but I believe the restaurant (Pho88) is on the street level, not the upper level where the club was. Has Pho expanded, or do they use the upper level? |

I can think of bunch, but noise complaints might be one. There are a lot more high end condos in the King West area, and "sound containment" has always been an issue, I believe. Not sure if it is an issue anymore. Isn't it also the reason that FW closes at 5am, whereas Boa/Sonic always seemed to go much later/earlier.... |

Good point.
It seems to be the perfect size.... usually the place just fills up to th perfect amount, not too empty, but not packed either.... but obviously for some bigger events the place hits capacity pretty early.... on those nights I wish FW was bigger but for the most part the place does seem to be the perfect size for the crowds and the events it holds...
They bring in the sorta mid-level DJs in terms of popularity (ie. not mainstream guys like tiesto, carl cox, digweed, etc.) and the size of the venue is perfect based on the crowds those DJs bring in... |
