(A rendering of the new club Vodvil)
A new entertainment club Vodvil will be occupying the shuttered Russian restaurant Versai on 351 North Fairfax Avenue. The brainchild of Josh Saltman, a media lawyer with 13 years in the business, Vodvil will offer food, drinks, karaoke, and most importantly, old-school games. “The design of Vodvil—in concept, décor, layout, food, fun—is crafted to answer this aching need for the return of organized social interaction in a sophisticated night-out experience,” says Saltman in his press release. Sounds good to me. (A look at the closed Versai, after the jump.)
I like the idea of an upscale place to play games that requires a host but will be curious to see how the karaoke portion works for them. Across the way, the former Largo space is still being worked on. Rumor has it that it will stay as a concert venue. If that’s true, then the addition of Vodvil will only add to the nightlife, foot traffic in the area.

If the execution of this is as good as it sounds, it’s exactly what this town needs! When’s it opening??
