“One reason I think the Wildcat has done so well is because we’re constantly changing things,” said Bob Stout, who opened the club in 1992 and is still pretty darned active in its running. The club has different themes ranging from lounge tunes to live bands, depending on the night. “I think of it as my art,” he said, justifiably priding himself on the visual look of the club and his own passion, lighting. But most of all, Stout sticks with the idea of constant evolution. “We hire a lot of young creative people and encourage them as best we can.”
