Gabriela, Eli Escobar's Williamsburg Club that's made for dancing, makes the case for Thursdays being club night with Romance Thursdays.
Filling a Brooklyn club when it’s not the weekend isn’t always easy, but when I walked into Gabriela — the two-month-old Williamsburg space by veteran New York City DJ Eli Escobar — on a recent Thursday, I was surprised to see that it was packed. The two-floor venue still had that new-club sheen: Warm, red lights made it look like a dream as fog from an overworked smoke machine engulfed the attractive crowd spilling from its three distinct rooms.
My boyfriend and I grabbed tequila sodas in the booth-lined bar room, and made our way to the already-full dance floor that was dark, welcoming, and filled with girlies who came prepared in thick black eyeliner and classic American Apparel. A lot of these people were Romance Thursday regulars, Escobar told me, and some haven’t missed a party since they opened. Escobar is a legend in the scene so expectations are high when it comes to the crowd and soundsystem — whichnext level.
After a major dance moment, we headed up the spiral staircase to the balcony that ended up becoming my favorite part of the club. Overlooking the bar with the bass still pumping beneath the plush banquette seating, it highlighted one of the most important and underrated parts of clubbing: sitting down and chatting. The vibe was sexy, and I realized how much Romance Thursdays could live up to its name in a different way, as a curated destination for a hot second or third date.
