home for the very, very young. Here we have the smell of turned-on club kids, innocent by reason of temporary hormonal insanity. Unlike the work-weary cocktail folk who show up at over-age lounges, these kids adorn their baby fat with cartoonish style, emphasizing red-wine lips, naked skin, and barely sheathed curves. They throb en masse to anonymous '80's tunes, trying to exorcise the high-school misery from all that luxuriant flesh.

Afterlife, a recent transplant on Adelaide Street West, is aimed straight at the heart of the very, very young. Although 18-year old parties tend to be huge moneymakers, it’s best to avoid them if you are not an 18-year old.

Limelight, the previous tenant at this location, had turned their younger Friday night parties into their most profitable nights, but now Afterlife will need to find it’s core audience.

Afterlife most certainly wanted to capitalize on the acquisition of Limelight’s Friday party lineup. Most of their promotional teams seem to be trying to bring the age average up a notch, but the club will naturally find its core audience, regardless of the age it ends up being. Afterlife maintains a standard of Limelight-type lighting and sound system and will continue to invest in technologies to further enhance the ambience of the club. Décor at Afterlife utilizes the club's spaciousness to provide plenty of room for everything from lounging and dancing to simply moving about the club.
