Ink Entertainment has unveiled a new bordello-styled lounge called the Cathouse at the Guvernment & Kool Haus Entertainment Complex. The renovated space, which opened this past weekend and is available for private events for as many as 400 people, is decorated in red, gold, and black, and features animal prints throughout and birdcages with feathers as lights. "The redesign is a play on the name with a sense of humour," said Tara Hendela, Ink's director of public relations. "Think sexy but playful with a burlesque theme." Inspired by a Las Vegas lounge with the same name, the Cathouse has glass-enclosed booths for go-go dancers and a keyhole-shaped doorway leading into a private room, which is meant "to imply you are entering a peep show," Hendela said. The 3,000-square-foot space has it's own DJ booth, a separate entrance, coat check and washrooms.
