FIVESIXTY

VANCOUVER — Vancouver nightclubs tend to be one-trick ponies. One space, one DJ, one theme running throughout.

Vincent Alvaro thinks this is a bit boring. So he wants to shake things up with his new club, FIVESIXTY.

Located in the old A&B Sound store at 560 Seymour, its much larger than most local nightclubs 28,000 sq. ft. spread over four floors. The size means it can have several different themes within the overall space. When its going full-tilt, 500 patrons will be able to walk around and choose between three separate mini-clubs, each with its own DJ.

But Alvaro sees it as more than just a hopping late-night space. He wants Five Sixty to be a cultural hub, a place where creative people will meet and mingle.

Were focusing on the arts community as patrons, he explains. People involved in film, fashion, music, the visual arts, design, that type of thing.

It took a year and $4 million to convert the building from retail to a nightclub, but the end result is quite something.

The main space is located where A&B used to sell CDs and records. Its a large open room, with a stage, two bars and no chairs or tables its basically one big dance floor.

If you want to sit and watch the action, theres a mezzanine up where A&B used to sell high-end stereos. The mezzanine railing is clear plexiglass, so that you have an unimpeded view when youre relaxing on the rooms assortment of plush club chair-style couches.
