Out 'N About opened August 1, 2003 in a prime location formerly occupied by Who's On First. The space featured a large dance floor, a massive bar, and an onsite restaurant. The club attracted a diverse crowd seven nights a week, though it was particularly popular with lesbians for Friday night dance parties. After rebranding as MO'NA's in 2005, the club added live music and shows. While the Walker's Point area was seeing a business boom, MO'NA's began to decline. The restaurant closed permanently in 2011 and the bar shut its doors in mid-2012.
