With the Christmas season here and the need for entertainment on the rise, the opening of the newly established Club 808 was the icing on the cake.

The club, which opened at Shop 20, Post Mall, 115 Hope Road in St Andrew, celebrated its grand opening recently.

Amid the celebration, appearances were made by recording artistes iCandy and Leftside; CVM TV's 'Onstage' executive producer and host Winford Williams and public figures Sophia Max-Brown, Carlos Max-Brown, Delano Seiviright, Greg Millwood, Pietro Gramegna and Maylynne Lowe.

Sean Lyn, managing director of Club 808, shared: "Club 808 sets itself apart from other clubs for three reasons, its location, its vibe, and the sound of music."

This club has an amazing location appealing to persons, young and old in the residential and university areas of Kingston, offering secure parking, underground and above ground. The entertainment spaces include the dance floor and the reserved area with bottle service available. The club also offers two fully stocked bars with trained bartenders and mixologists.

Lyn explained that Club 808 plays a part in musical history. The term '808' was introduced to music in the 80s through a machine called a Roland TR-808. Its capabilities were enjoyed by many musicians, and as such led to the term '808' being incorporated into their songs.

The venue is open to the public three days a week, Thursdays to Saturdays. Doors open at 10 p.m. until 4 a.m.

With the tagline 'Celebrate Life', Club 808 encourages patrons to enjoy their lives and simply have fun.
