Virginia Beach has welcomed a new nightlife destination for the mature crowd with the soft opening of Kascades Lounge, an exclusive R&B nightclub. The event took place on July 24 at approximately 9 p.m. located near Town Center, situated within the Crowne Plaza hotel at 4453 Bonney Road. Kascades Lounge enforces a strict entry policy that prohibits anyone under the age of 30, ensuring a tailored atmosphere for its intended audience.
Kascades Lounge is co-owned by Bernell Stallings and his wife, Karen, who envision the venue as a place for “the ‘grown’ and sexy.” The club specifically targets professionals in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who seek a comfortable and sophisticated environment to socialize and unwind after work. This demographic includes various professionals such as doctors, lawyers, local business leaders, and ministers, all of whom appreciate opportunities to dance and enjoy quality entertainment.
The facility boasts a multistory layout featuring a ground-level dance floor, wrap-around balconies, multiple tables, a stage for live music performances, a DJ booth, and a full bar. The intimate design aims to enhance the social experience while providing ample space for guests to engage in both dance and conversation.
Virginia Beach City Councilman Cal “Cash” Jackson-Green attended the soft opening and showed support for this new venture, highlighting the positive impact such establishments can have on the local community. Guests at the event praised the enjoyable atmosphere, with specific recognition given to the need for upscale entertainment venues dedicated to older audiences.
In addition to providing a vibrant nightlife experience, Kascades Lounge also serves a selection of small plate dishes designed to pair well with its social atmosphere. The menu includes options like burger and salmon sliders, chicken wings, and house spinach dip, catering to patrons looking for a satisfying bite while enjoying their evening out.
Currently, the lounge operates from 7 p.m. most nights, specifically Thursdays through Sundays. These hours are likely to vary until January, when it concludes its temporary soft-opening phase. This gradual approach allows the venue to adapt to customer feedback and establish its presence in the community.
The primary music genre at Kascades Lounge is R&B with a selection of clean hip-hop tracks, deliberately avoiding explicit content to maintain the venue’s sophisticated ambiance. The lounge encourages patrons to dress nicely for their outings, although it does permit athletic wear as part of its dress code.
