This is a pretty cool place. I went in there with my significant other after 10pm and it was lit. The DJ is pretty good, their bartenders are quick and very attentive, their drinks are strong. I love the vibes out here, it's like pretty small in there but there's a sitting area outside and you're allowed to go chill there and go back inside. Only downside to this place is one of their securities. I peeped him hugging this girl that was in line with her group (i'm assuming he knows her) & he let her walk in with her group without checking their IDs.....anywayssss

This place was off the hook! Visited for my nephew's birthday get together and had a blast. Met the owner Sam he was really nice and welcoming. The staff was very helpful and on point. Took care of all of us. Made sure my nephews birthday was a hit and it was. Come on down and have a few drinks you won't be disappointed. Cheers!!

Live band playing until 9:55pm or so and then a DJ takes over at 10pm The live band today Phunk Pharmacy was awesome, funk/jazz play list. Got the crowd going easy listening. Great time! Look as though they did some remodeling. New pictures, lights over the bar and disco lighting. Bar is small and they do charge 4% credit card charge but I didn't know it until I closed my tab. Oh, Just don't sit in the back of the place. Men's bathroom door stays open and the light is glaring, watching men go in and out without closing the door the smell could be gross! They must have forgotten the self closing door during the remodel like the women's bathroom has. *** No one knows how to close a door! ****

01-25-25 Went there to see a live show. Audiobenders was playing and I really enjoyed it. The bar is small for live bands and seems to be set up for DJ's. Small dance area and seating. Looks like this place is restricted to 150 people. I did not see a food menu or bar snacks. Drinks are priced ok. THEY DO HAVE A CREDIT CARD FEE CHARGE OF 4%. did not know this until I got my receipt. We stuck around after the band was done and their DJ began to play his set. I was not impressed with his music selection. We were there from 2000-2130 hrs.

Hello I have visited this place at least 20 times and today on April 20 2025 they threw me out because the outfit I was wearing was only short sleeves .it was a great place I visited with my family and friends .a bar with such rules check your outfit before you choose this bar .and the only answer you will get against your explanations will be I don't care .otherwise your night may be interrupted for this reason .

This bartender named Hailey gives off amazing vibes. She's super sweet! Really good at her job. The place is cool. Tell Hailey Jordan said Hi! I'm leaving this review as I'm at the bar right now.

Not sure if I would be too into the crowds and music here on the weekend. But my mid-week visit was fun and chill. RubberSoul (hip hop, soul, and rnb) is apparently on Wed nights... think music like Paperboy's Ditty (yes, that one made my night!) The drinks were strong, the bartenders and DJ's were friendly, the crowd was carefree, respectful, and just having a good time... not overbearing in numbers, but not dead and empty, which is a great balance. The place was clean, with cool colored lighting, comfy lounge seating in the back (though barely used on a Wed night), and a small dance area with a couple TV screens. Great spot to enjoy a couple drinks and some good music, especially on a Wed (for me), where I got to enjoy some old school hits in beautiful downtown Campbell :)

Was looking for a place to have drinks and dance, we came early it was empty, started with our drinks and proceeded to dance, there was only one person on the dance floor. We didn't realize there was a sign that said no song request, we asked if the dj can play a song, a staff member lady interrupted and yelled at us twice saying did you not see the sign no song requests in a very rude demeanor. We were actually shocked! Was already greeted by the bouncer with a little attitude but didn't think much of it. Needless to say he left and made the best of our night and found many other lively places with great service and vibe.

~*house Dj in weekends*~ This is a fun place to hang on the weekends. Sometimes when I just want to go out real quick and have fun with my friends, I come here. The bartenders are super nice and they're always really kind to us. What I like: Good music Patio Great staff Recommend for a fun night out.
