The Addisons Residence
The Addisons Residence launched about 2 weeks ago, and I had the pleasure
of attending their launch party. The new lounge now occupies the space
that used to house C-Lounge on Wellington Street. From the outside, it
was difficult to gauge that this was a lounge, as there was no signage
at the front. Rather, the building looked quite unassuming, but there
was a number clearly displaying #456, and a tongue-in-cheek doormat at
the front.

THROW THE BEST PARTIES."

Upon entering The Addisons Residence, I was pleasantly surprised with the design of the interior, which was designed by Lisa Ho.
The newly renovated space was inspired by a retro home in Beverley
Hills, and Lisa did a great job of emulating that. The first part of the
house/lounge that I explored was the foyer, which was tastefully
decorated with plenty of greenery, mirror, and a nicely contrasting
white-and-black checkered floor. As I continued to walk past the foyer, I
was greeted by a large kitchen space with a full-service bar. The food
served that night was catered by The Food Dudes,
and guests were treated to comfort food such as: fried chicken, chicken
wings, pierogi, and variations of different salads. It should be noted
that The Food Dudes are the official food partners of The Addisons
Residence, and will be providing the food during dinner services
The nightlife experience at The Addisons Residence offers a unique form of
entertainment, as there are three different rooms at the location. I
have already touched upon the kitchen, but the recreation room probably stood out the most to me.
In addition to plush seating, the rec room was equipped with a foosball
table, shuffleboard, and several television screen for guests to
entertain themselves. In addition to the rooms, there was also a 5,000
square foot backyard patio. The patio is scheduled to open later this summer.
The concept behind The Addisons Residence is that it's the home of a fictional family called The Addisons, who were known to throw spectacular parties. There were plenty of photographs of the family displayed near the main entrance to play into the concept. I definitely do think that this idea sets them apart from other lounges in the area, as they brought something different to the table. Overall, I really enjoyed the ambiance, and space of The Addisons Residence. I'd say that it's a great place to drink, dine, and connect with new and old friends.
