Upon opening later this spring, Mystique will definitely appeal to the club-going set. One need only listen to the invasive background music on their website. Renderings published there advertise an uber-trendy layout that screams “bottle service.” Time will tell. Meanwhile, the application for a full liquor license with the State Liquor Authority is still pending.
