Purgatory

Not far from your Mineola Inn, you will want to make time to visit this place at least once during your visit. The state of the art light show featured at Purgatory is just one reason to spend an evening here. Stainless steel, tin and aluminum makes up much of the club's decor, with concrete bar tops and floors finishing it off. The seating is limited though, so prepare to spend a lot of your time moving around the club and meeting new people.
