Don Hill’s by the Numbers

UD - Don Hill's Be aware: at this very moment, the decades-old beast of a rock club that is Don Hill’s is being commandeered by two gentlemen named Nur Khan and Paul Sevigny (the duo of nightlife overlords currently making sweet music together at Kenmare) and turned into a rock club that looks a lot like... the old Don Hill’s.
