On Friday night, Babylon nightclub located on Hadley Street in Midtown opened its doors to the public for the first time.

"It'll provide a place for them to escape to," said Moral Pourafaie, branding director for Babylon.

During special occasions, partygoers will be able to see real-life exotic animals; like zebras and snakes. At the club's soft opening, there was a camel on display. However, the live exotic animal concept has caused some major backlash on social media, with people tagging PETA and the Houston SPCA calling it animal abuse.
