LASTING one year on the ever-embattled downtown San Jose club scene is hard enough. Surviving five years practically makes you a historic landmark. So Fahrenheit has good reason to celebrate. Not to say we told you so, but back in our 2005 Best of Silicon Valley issue (in which it won Best Ultralounge and Best Happy Hour), we called it “4000 square feet of cool” and said it “upped the concept” of ultralounge.
Clearly we didn’t need a hot tub time machine to tell us Fahrenheit was going to be around in five years. (Besides, that damn thing is always at the shop.) But the folks behind Fahrenheit are pretty happy about it, So they’re doubling up on celebrating this weekend, with a pre-party on Friday night and a party proper on Saturday. DJ Melvis provides the musical accompaniment on Friday, with $5 drink specials and complimentary hors d’oeuvres. On Saturday, the club’s stable of favorite DJs will tag-team it, with DJ Jeanine Da Feen, DJ Jsanty and DJ Benofficial in the mix, while DJ Wicked will spin at the VIP celebration from 7 to 9pm.
