OXYGN Teen Nightclub Opens Tonight in Clinton Township

"The wait is over," says the Facebook page promoting Club Oxygn Teen Night Club & Energy Bar.

The long-awaited teen dance club will celebrate its grand opening Friday, July 27, in Clinton Township. Located at 34244 Groesbeck Hwy, the former home of Chaplin's Comedy Club, Club Oxygn is the brainchild of Michael Cooley, manager of MAC Entertainment Enterprises.

Securing a location and financial backing for the club took Cooley more than two years, but this weekend the club will welcome its first teen guests, according to the Detroit News.

The dance club, which caters to teens age 13 to 17, is open from 7 p.m. to midnight Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the summer.

There's a $15 cover charge for all teens and the club is parent friendly until 9 p.m.

Male and female security guards from a professionally-licensed agency will check club-goers as they enter and the club will operate on a zero tolerance policy for alcohol, drugs and weapons.

The venue is non-smoking and guests will be held to a strict dresscode that prohibits long tees, excessive baggy clothing, jerseys or sweats, athletic shorts and sleeveless shirts.

Club Oxygn will also offer matinee Sundays, where the club will open its doors to tweens age 11, 12 and 13 from 4-7:30 p.m. Admission is $12 these days and kids must have school ID.
