Fun for Everyone @ ENVY

Tired of having to go to Buffalo, Toronto or Hamilton to have a good time, Enzo De Divitiis opened ENVY Lounge in August 2009, in downtown St. Catharines. In its initial year ENVY has grown to become Niagara's Premier LGBT club. Located at 127 Queenston St. ENVY serves up events and functions for people of all ages.

From an all-ages coffee lounge with free Wifi, to 19+ theme nights and fundraisers, the fully-renovated two-storey building gives patrons many reasons to visit time and time again. Fridays & Saturdays are dance nights, with non-stop energetic sounds provided by DJ Robin Hamilton & DJ Darryl D.

Looking for something a bit quieter? You'll find a cozy lounge upstairs, complete with contempory seating, one of the club's several bigscreen TV's and a fireplace. In the mood for a game of pool? There's a seperate pool room to show off your skills on the main floor. A fully licensed private patio is also available for those seeking a breathe of fresh air, or wishing to turn it blue with a cigarette break.

De Divitiis and the ENVY staff were featured in Niagara This Week newspaper when the club first opened its doors. In that article Enzo tells the paper he wanted a club that covered a larger demographic and although it is a LGBT organization, everyone is welcome to join in on the fun.

Due to my busy schedule and aging body (LOL) my  visits have been somewhat limited over the past year. On those occassions when Rob & I's schedule permits us a night on the town together, we have always thoroughly enjoyed our time at ENVY (although finding the side entranceway on our initial visit was a bit tricky -LOL) It has a big city feel, right in the heart of little ol' St Catharines. Truly something to Envy.
