For those who think the Lawrence bar scene has gone flat recently, Last Call night club hopes to add a new wrinkle.
The bar opened for business Jan. 31 but celebrated its grand opening Friday in the building where Tremors was previously located, 729 New Hampshire St.
Trent Glass, general manger of Last Call, said Lawrence had a yearning for something new.
"The nightlife scene in this town has really gone downhill," Glass said. "I've been here for 12 years now and it isn't the same as it was when I was in school."
The new bar is under the same management as Coyote's night club, 1003 E.23rd St.
Ronald Ruiz, Last Call disc jockey, said he played a lot of Top-40 and trendy music.
"I'll also play some underground music and remixes that people know," he said.
Last Call offers entertainment options other than music and dancing. The club has video games, including Golden Tee and PGA Tour Golf, as well as pool tables, foosball and darts.
Glass said there was a lounge area where people could get away from loud music - between two fully stocked bars is an elevated dance floor. He said Last Call would provide a friendly environment for the University's fraternity and sorority community.
"We plan on having a lot of greek people," Glass said. "We're looking to have some special functions for sororities and fraternities, possibly something in conjunction with Rock Chalk Revue."
Last Call is open from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m., Thursday through Saturday.
