Jon Tartaglia and Roger S. Rahil, the forces behind popular downtown Tacoma nightclubs The Loft, 21 Commerce, Big Whisky Saloon and countless others, opened their new venture last Friday in the site formerly occupied by The Vault in downtown Tacoma. Designed by award-winning architect Marcelo Rocha, the swanky Encore Boutique Nightclub offers modern elements, mood lighting, leather seating, a state-of-the-art-sound system, European bottle service, private restrooms and private champagne couches protected by black velvet ropes and guards in ties for those clubbers willing to pay extra to ensure they always have fresh drinks and places to sit. This club screams hook-up!
