Built in the same space that used to be Ocean's 11 in 2001-2002.

In 2006, the space finally reopened as Headhunters, a punk dive bar renowned as a live music venue. The lighting was dark, the decor mixed tiki and headless Barbie dolls.

Headhunters fell on hard times and was cleaned up and re-branded in 2012 as Metal and Lace: Steampunk Lounge by Host Jon Taffer of the Bar Rescue television show.

However, the changes didn't stick and the bar went back to its old name and ways and closed in 2014.
