Good vibes, DJ was playing some good tunes when we went, I mean he was playing Tribe called Quest when we walked in so place gets an automatic ✓. Decently priced drinks, service at the bar and was quick.

Oh the bar top dancer seems to be very popular she got the whole place going. We were seated close to the DJ console and it was just ridiculously loud so had to leave. But I think that was due to where our table was, sound seemed better in other parts.

It's a place that appeals to everyone because they do different types of events every day. 🤩 The staff is also very friendly.

Their happy hour time changes on daily basis depending on the scheduled show on that day. They gave an event every night and some of them have free admission and the other ones require buying tickets. They have live band or DJ nights (check their website).

They gave great vibes. Usually the bar is packed and the staff and bartenders are very quick with providing service.

Their selection of beers leave much to desire, and I wouldn't ask for a Martini since there's no servers, only 2 bartenders (sat night) and they get busy. Service was friendly, and lady dancing on the bar was a plus I guess. Bathrooms, well, let's say they smell unpleasant.

This place is a bit rundown. As soon as I walked it, it had a weird smell I was trying to get used too. The bathrooms weren't very clean. The music, DJ and drummer there that night was amazing. If it wasn't for that, I would have left.
