Closed Eleven

When the venerable Space Lab Yellow closed its doors in 2008 to make way for the demolition of its building, many mourned the death of one of Tokyo's most enduring clubs. Only in this particular case, death wasn't final. After the demolition failed to take place, Yellow returned under a new name, Eleven, with more than half of the original staff. It's since reclaimed its mantle as one of Tokyo's best after-hours spots, with a booking policy that leans heavily on house and techno.
