True to its sensuous name with velvety smooth jazz and lush décor - think plush velour wall designs reminiscent of French brocade wallpaper and buttery leather couches with pewter and chocolate finishes - Indulj is a luxuriously classy lounge. A popular drink is the fruity, pink sparkling Nuvo, born in Paris. If bubbles aren't your thing, order your sexy poison of choice at the brushed stainless steel bar and hobnob on the sparkly, silver floor tiles. Munch on some elevated Southern-style soul food like crab corndogs. The second floor outdoor deck offers a splendid view of the Duke...
