ZU Bar nightclub is located in Burlington, on South Service Rd just off of Walker’s Line and the QEW. It is an entertainment venue that operates on Fridays and Saturdays from 10pm-3am, catering to a 20-30 something crowd. This communal space brings together groups of people into a common locale allowing them to party and socialize as the rest of the city sleeps. This place helps create a sense of identity/community as its members share behavioural patterns and try to integrate themselves between one another.

This recording was documented on a Saturday night as the nightclub was closing at 2:43am. Groups of people existed the club doors and engaged in conversation. It is definitely an interesting moment to capture since the situations are always subject to change. Although ZU Bar is not located in the heart of the city, it is still an accurate representation of the urban experience that reveals the nightlife community.
