2008 Best Lounge
The Enormous Room
The bouncer’s low-key; the door, unmarked. In fact, nearly everything about Central Square’s paradoxically named Enormous Room—including the plush furnishings and easy-on-the-ears music (old-school funk, Euro electro)—is deeply chill: The cover rarely tops $5, the staff is the easygoing kind, and the lighting is dialed down to ultraflattering, which keeps the crowd of baristas, bankers, artists, and random other classes feeling confident and relaxed.
