Just this weekend, ~ICON ULTRA LOUNGE~ opened in the former Luna Lounge space in SOMA. Three born-in-SF residents are behind the project; the upscale lounge atmosphere was designed by Charles Doell AKA Mr. Important (he was formerly of FUN! Display—think Backflip, Red Room, etc.) and includes a bar made of glass, a new dance floor with large drum-style lights overhead lit with LED, ultra suede walls, a round VIP room with mirrored walls (it's pretty slick), and another back room with a separate bar and a groovy oversized banquette along the wall for lounging. Dinner (tapas) will start in a couple weeks, with Executive Chef Brian Bauman (formerly of Left at Albuquerque) at the helm. Icon is open for happy hour Tue-Wed at 6pm, and will have dancing and DJs Thu-Sat (Thu: '70s, '80s, pop and soul, Fri: mashups, Sat: various promoters).
