Infamous private lounge in Uptown New Orleans. Informally often referred to simply as "the 'Lash", The Spiderlash Lounge was a private, invite-only affair - similar to a traditional New Orleans Social Aid and Pleasure Club but without any of the tiresome Social Aid. Lots of cool antiques, red velvet, and candle light. Absinthe flowed liberally. Sadly, the 'Lash closed it's doors in 2004.
