Everyone is familiar or has experienced what the nightlife is in a major city like NYC or Boston. Amherst, being quite a small town, didn't have a great way to experience nightlife until now. Lit, Mezze Lounge and Nightclub is brand new and adding a whole new side to what the nightlife scene in Amherst has to offer. Most people were content with what was available in Amherst and Northampton but Reza Rahmani was not. Rahmani, who graduated from UMass 2004, had a hard time identifying with the night scene in western Massachusetts. He wanted a club similar to those in NYC and Amherst just didn't offer that. He was reaching much further outside of the Berkshires to satisfy his desired nightlife.
This is where the idea for Lit came from. It is a much more mature crowd where you are treated as you should be, as royalty not cattle. "Lit is unique." Rahmani says, "It has a big city environment in a small town setting." Inside of a college town there are many different people all looking for different things, Rahmani's goal is to keep an already existing crowd, the crowd looking for that alternative nightlife, with in the city limits rather than business moving out to NYC and Boston.
Hopefully by the end of this week the kitchen will be finished and funcitoning allowing for the Mezze Lounge to sport its one-of-a-kind menu. "It will be simple food with exotic ingredients." The menu will include appetizers like sliders and other gourmet bar food, as well as 4 or 5 main plates.
As far as upcoming events, this weekend there is going to be a Latin night. Be sure join on facebook and attend! Soon after the kitchen opens there is going to live entertainment from local artists and towards the end of the Summer a Red Carpet Event.
"If you have ever wondered what it is like to be treated like a star or royalty, come to Lit and you will be treated as such."For booking and events call Taleen:
