This is the 3rd attempt to go check out the night life, and we drove off again. We usually drive to the packing house about 9pm, and everything is mostly closed or EMPTY. The Hip Kitty is generally happening, but if you don't get off your car to check, you would never know. The wine tasting place is decent, but you have to be in the mood for it. The 21 Choices yogurt always has a line though, even in winter. But for a young group of people who want to see a bit more movement, this isn't the place, yet. Perhaps the fact that Claremont boasts such a large percentage in population of retirees, this place shuts down early due to lack of business.
We then bust a U-turn and head to the old downtown square and its the same thing. Maybe a bar or two with several people, but certainly not enough of a vibe to interest. Everything else is closed as well.
Still, the new village has a ton of potential and to be fair, it is still quite new. With time and the right situation, this can turn into a very cool place to hang out at night. Of course, we also are in bad economic times. But since most residents in Claremont probably aren't affected much, there's a better chance.
So to conclude, I still HIGHLY recommend the village on Saturday from 10am to 2pm. A great place to take your family and hangout! The night still needs some work, but I'm sure it'll kick off in time.
