My friend got divorced and we wanted to celebrate! She made a reservation online and no mention anywhere of a drink minimum or cover charge.
We arrived and had to stand outside whilst waiting for capacity to dwindle? (May have been another reason, but that's the only one I can think of.) Finally, the line begins moving and once we get to the door, they ask for a credit card to HOLD. I asked if there was cover before we even wasted time standing in line, and was told no. I brought that to their attention, but was then told sternly that they hold the card for the required minimum drink purchase.
It was $30 drink minimum, per person. So for two people, expect to spend $60, three people $90, etc. plus tip. It wouldn't have been much of a big deal to me had the drinks been good, or had the bartenders been attentive to us.
We sat for 15-20 minutes at a time between drinks b/c the bartenders were too focused on keeping the male patrons entertained. When we tried to ask other employees walking by to order new drinks, we were just told that they would tell the bartender to get them. The drinks were $10/each. which sounds good til you get them and it's juice with a splash of alcohol lol. And it isnt like you can just decide to leave; since they hold onto your card, you have to get that back at the end when you're paying your tab. Oh and if you think you're leaving without meeting your minimum, don't worry you will get charged the full amount anyway so might as well indulge on all 3 of the $10 juices.
The place itself has a cool look to it; the large octopus on the ceiling that changes colours is great, but that's probably the only thing I enjoyed. All they play is EDM music, which isn't my 1st or 5th choice in music. I'll definitely be going elsewhere for better drinks, better service, and overall better environment.
