Dancing Sasquatch Party Palace

 

New nightclub set to become local legend

Dancing Sasquatch to offer totally unique and Banff flavoured entertainment experience 

Banff, AB --This weekend a completely unique entertainment experience will open its doors on main level Banff Avenue. The Dancing Sasquatch, a nightclub like none other, will offer guests a whole new outdoor mountain experience, indoors.

“People come to Banff because they want to experience the Park, so we brought it inside,” says Jordan Mendelman, Operating Partner of the Dancing Sasquatch.

Everything about this Canadian cabin club gives a nod to the heritage of Banff and its surrounding area.

Clientele walk through a dark and moody mineshaft and upstairs into a virtual forest.  Once on the main level of the nightclub it actually feels like you’re out in the woods of Banff National Park.  Tables are built around real aspen trees, the walls are dressed in high definition and constantly changing projection imagery of the surrounding park, and you walk up to cabin windows to be served by bartenders dressed like campers and lumberjacks – or you can sit and be served by waitresses in hiking attire – with a sexy twist.  A campfire style seating area and a sauna style lounge round out the Canadian cabin party experience. The aesthetic is warm and welcoming and the vibe is fun.

 “We wanted to create an iconic destination on main street Banff,” says Yannis Karlos, a local restaurateur who is also part of the club’s ownership group.   We are aiming for the Dancing Sasquatch to become that must-see, all-out-fun, entertainment venue in Banff.”

The owners thought long and hard about the name too. After uncovering tales of Sasquatch sightings in the Lake Minnewanka area (http://www.hancockhouse.com/article.php/20060326135529147), they decided to go with the Dancing Sasquatch.  They’ve been having some fun with the idea on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/sasquatchsimon).

The local Banff ownership group has over 60 years experience in nightclub and hospitality management and it shows from the moment you walk into the Dancing Sasquatch which was designed by Calgary’s well known CeDeCe.

The nightclub itself offers state-of-the-art  lighting and audio including a versa tube system, projection systems and a custom sound system by PK Sound from Calgary (of Shambhala fame).  Dancing Sasquatch will feature the best local, regional and international talent as a live DJ venue seven days a week.

Sitting in prime real estate, located at 120 Banff Avenue, Dancing Sasquatch is sure to become a local legend. To learn more visit www.banffsasquatch.com
