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.
"We would never have animals in cages period, on the outside either, their handler will always be with them, they would have food and anything that they would need," she said.Babylon nightclub is making it clear, no animals were or will be harmed in the making of their nightlife experience.
