Shore Ultra Lounge

It’s the first of July, and that means summer is officially in full effect. Yes, summer is that time of the year where it seems that everyone feels like partying, drinking and going crazy. In Southern California, summertime is more than one of the four seasons, it’s a 3 month event that starts at the beach and ends at a club every night. That is why at Club Central LA we see nothing more important than finding you the best spots that will make your summer unforgettable, as we put in work each week to bring you the best in nighttime entertainment. This weekend, CCLA decided to head back down to the LBC (Long Beach) to visit a venue that we had already covered as it underwent a complete transformation, just in time for summer. This venue was already known for being one of LB’s best as it had a positive, energetic vibe that everyone who visited enjoyed, but, as it is in life, things have to change, and with new ownership this venue was ready for a new look. So with that, Club Central LA says goodbye to Sachi Bar and welcomes the all new Shore Ultra Lounge, the brand new 21 and over, 8,000 sq ft venue that plans to take clubbing to new heights.

Shore Ultra Lounge begins it story in the early part of this year, when Brandon, one of the four creators of Shore Ultra Lounge came upon the location of Sachi Bar. From the moment he stepped foot into what would soon become his nightclub, he saw the great possibilities of what this venue could be and made an offer that shortly thereafter would give him the acquisition of Sachi. However, not wanting to own and run a business that was created and established by someone else, Brandon set out to create a new ultra lounge that would be his own as he assembled a team that consisted of himself, Alan, Lisa and Ryan, the former GM of Sachi. These four brainstormed for weeks on how to move away form the current theme and set a new identity that would sit well with the Long Beach nightlife and put them on notice. What was decided was to make a venue that incorporated the glitz and glamour of the Hollywood scene with the laid back mellow surfer lifestyle attitude. With that, the plan was set and Shore Ultra Lounge was well under way. On April 21, 2009, Shore Ultra Lounge came to life as it opened its doors for the first time as it hosted a weekend event that saw more than 1000 guests each night. Shore Ultra Lounge had arrived and did what it planned to do, get noticed. It’s been a little over two months since Brandon, Ryan, Lisa and Alex opened Shore Ultra Lounge for business and from the looks of things this venue is doing great, as it is on the right track to living a long life that will easily surpass it predecessor by offering better service, a better vibe, better entertainment and better drinks.

Parking

Located inside the Seaport Hotel, Shore Ultra Lounge offers a great quantity of free parking that is found all around the venue. Guests will never have to worry whether or not they will find a parking space as it can easily hold over 300 vehicles. In addition, they soon plan to offer valet parking for $4 for those who wish to arrive right in front of the main entrance, a nice service at a nice price. Parking at this venue is definitely a plus.

Entrance/Time of Operation

Doors at Shore Ultra Lounge are opened from 7pm to 2am daily, with fully stocked bar services and house music. The minimum legal age to enter any day of the week is 21years of age, security will be checking ID’s once you arrive in the front. The dress code for the this venue is a laid back chic look that allows guests to come in comfortable clothing as long as it doesn’t look trashy or cheesy. Cover charge is $10 on the weekend and free any other night, unless there is a special event or promotion. Yet, Shore Ultra Lounge does offer a guest list so that one can enter at a discount or for free; just make sure you arrive before the guest list expires. On Fridays the guest list ends at 11pm and on Saturday at 10pm. You can access the Shore Ultra lounge by visiting their website.

Venue

When visiting Shore Ultra Lounge, you may think you see no difference from its previous form as you enter the Seaport Hotel, but once you get closer, you will definitely see a change and a new look to this venue. On the outside, Shore Ultra Lounge has set up a huge projection screen that shows clips of surfers and waves, furthermore, they have a large lit up sign over the entrance that states their new name and the events they will be hosting. The change is even more apparent on the inside. As soon as guests walk in they will see the new décor and style of the Shore as it is given a Chic Hollywood/Long Beach upgrade styling that gives it the look and feel of a true L.A. nightclub. However, not everything has changed; they have kept some of features from before, such as having two separate rooms and an outside patio. The first room is equipped with a fully stocked bar, a DJ/Modeling stage, a huge dance floor and multiple VIP seating areas. The secondary room is just as nice as it has a very huge and accessible three leaf clover bar, a small dance floor, a DJ booth that is overlooking the crowd and a stripper pole for those who like to go wild, a game area and more VIP seating. The outside patio offers the escape from the inside by giving one a smoking area with a nice view of the night sky. One can also get a drink as the outside patio has a mobile satellite bar.

Music

Music at The Shore was incredible. If fact, we wouldn’t expect anything less as it was DJ Vid Vicious who was spinning the ones and twos for most of the night. The first time we met Vid Vicious, we got a full out show as he displayed his skills and talent to the crowd and had them jumping the entire night. For his encore, he mixed and matched a hit of jams that set the night off, including a custom mix he made for a fashion show that the Shore was hosting. You can count on the music at the Shore will be great as Vid Vicious is the resident DJ. If Vid Vicious isn’t enough, Shore Ultra Lounge has multiple guest DJ’s that are given the 2nd room. For the night we went, DJ RYNOROC was the one chosen to do his mixing. DJ RYNOROC mixed a style of top 40 and mash ups and even threw in a little MJ in honor of the King of Pop. The crowd went nuts with his style and the birthday party that was in attendance was pleased. DJ RYNOROC did what had to be done to make that Friday night a blast.

VIP/Bottle Service

If you like bottle service with great VIP treatment, Shore Ultra Lounge is the place to visit. They offer a wide selection of bottles that are sure to satisfy your needs. Bottle service starts at a price of $195 to $550 per bottle with Grey Goose Vodka being the most popular and Cristal Champagne being the most expensive. Regardless of which bottle you chose, you will be given a VIP section, all the needed mixers and a personal waitress that will attend to your and your guests every need. In addition, this venue has kept the vast selection of VIP lounges that total to the amazing number of 32 different VIP areas. Each VIP area is designed in a different décor of furnishing and lighting. Each section is made to accommodate each person's individuality. With so many VIP areas you’re sure to find the right one for you. Be aware though that the bigger the section the more bottles that are required to purchase. For the small section near the wall the bottle minimum is one, but for those big private lounges located in the 2nd room or the large corner rock star areas in the main room, the bottle minimum is two to three bottles.

Drinks

At Shore Ultra Lounge, serving the best drinks is as important to them as breathing is to us. The Shore prides itself in not only providing world class service but world class drinks that will have you dying to come back. Each drink is made by talented hardworking bartenders that look to give your taste buds a shock every time you take a sip. Certain drinks that seem to be favorites among the club goers is theOne Night Stand, a Chocolate dessert drink that tastes great and their house cocktail, The Shore Fusion, a drink that uses fresh fruits and premium alcohol to give an exotic tropical flavor to those who try it. Drinks will start $5 for beer and will go up to $15 for their premium mixtures. Shore Ultra Lounge also offers a daily happy hour from 7pm to 9pm that gives a two for one special. In all, if drinking is what you prefer when visiting a venue, you won’t be disappointed when visiting Shore Ultra Lounge.

Last Words

Club Central LA would like to thank all those who made our visit to Shore Ultra Lounge amazing. Both staff and management treated us with great hospitality. Ryan, Brandon, Lisa and Alex have created a venue that is a great addition to the Long Beach night life.
