Greg's Steakhouse NYE 08 and Unité are using the event to launch the G Ultra Lounge.

Greg Wilson of Greg's Steakhouse and Belcario Thomas of Unité spoke about the G Ultra Lounge, both on New Year's and in the future.

"What Greg wants to do in the future is to create an ultra-lounge concept on second and last Saturday of the month," said Mr. Thomas.

"They are looking to create that mature experience that is of a certain mindset, where people can get away from the confusion and noise of a night club.

"They can come to a mature setting in a quality environment after dinner."

The G Ultra Lounge will have none other than DJ Kaos, who was a the former Splash Night Club.

"He will be here every other Saturday," explained Mr. Thomas.

"There will also be guest DJs coming in including DJ Chubb and DJ Skilatchi – they all have a wide berth of music to play."

They are attempting to reach a market of the 40-something who remembers the days of clubs like Flavours and The Touch.

"We are looking at a marketing at a mature kind of audience," he said, as he asked, "Where do they go now?

"The quality of experience has great music and a strict door policy –niche market promotions will create that environment and it should be a winner. That starts on January 7."

From that we decided to have a launch party/NYE 08 bash.

"The night starts with an early evening warm-up of R&B by Lace," said Mr. Wilson.

"They have played here before."

After the warm-up, guests will be entertained by members of the Sabor Dance School, who have some never before performed pieces.

"We also have China and Bussy, who play everything from old school to new party anthems," said Mr. Thomas.

"And to bring New Year's Eve to an end will be radio personality, Mr. English.

"The early morning run through will be with DJ Rodigun."

In the G-Spot Lounge there will be complimentary sushi rolls and Angus Steak nibbles."

Adding to that, Mr. Wilson said: "It will be set up with easy listening music, you'll be able to come and relax and have a cocktail and communicate with your significant other.

"While at the same time, you will be able to see the party atmosphere by looking through the windows and it is a sound proof room.

"There is also the VIP lounge, which has its own private balcony. So there are several different looks that you can get all in one space.

"It will be totally unique and we are looking at developing this concept because as I have travelled, I see that this is what a lot of really good restaurants do.

"They offer just a little bit more."

As with all of the above there will also be a complimentary glass of Veuve Cliquot to mark the New Year, cocktail specials, party favours and balloon raffle drop with a host of gifts for revellers.
