gas·tro-lounge
gas·tro-lounge (noun): A nightclub for eating and drinking. No bar, maybe some moving lights, but no dance floor.
According to Jada Yuan, writing in New York magazine, nightlife impresario Noah Tepperberg says he is launching a gastro-lounge, a new genre of nightlife destination combining elements of a gastropub, lounge, and "ultralounge":
The $2.5 million nightspot is a different concept entirely:
a "gastropub/ultralounge.” Which means what? “If a typical lounge is a
bar with a lot of seating, an ultralounge has moving lights. It’s got
some dancing. It’s got a D.J. booth,” he explains, sort of. “And a
gastropub is a bar with food. So we’re kind of a mix: It’s not a bar
with food, but it’s not a straight ultralounge.” Pause. “So I guess
it’s a gastro-lounge.” There’s no dance floor; he promises that patrons
will be able to “hear people talk” and “don’t have to buy bottles.”
