Large, Fast, Mostly Even, Parkay/Linoleum Floor on Concrete Underlayment with No Give and Large Stage.

Very hard, but reasonably fast floor. The "dance floor" is a small parkay section not flush with the surrounding linoleum with a bordering lip. People dance on the linoleum as well though.

The floor in the upper hall is fast and has some give due to the subfloor. There's a smaller parkay floor in the lower hall that is reasonably fast but a little harder.

Their 2nd floor hall is the one described here, though there are other areas to dance in there. The subfloor is re-inforced with steet girders, thus the give has some reverberations.

Lighting is somehwhat dark and the floor is not unkept very well (since it's a bar) but they have some great bands occassionally. The floor is somewhat on the small side and can get crowded by non dancers pretty quickly.

Awesome floor. Fast. I'm not sure that it's sprung, but it feels like it gives some. There's definitely at least a subfloor since it's a ballroom on the third story.
