***LOCATION***
I liked this spot for the location. It was only a 20min walk from my boyfriend's place, so we just walked there, which is a plus. No need for an Uber, and there were sidewalks everywhere.
***ATMOSPHERE***
There were lots of people, enough to make it not empty which was good, but at the same time it wasn't overly crowded. Lots of young people our age, but the music was not the best. It was a lot of outdated songs not quite old enough to be bringing back yet haha. I would have loved to have some new songs, better transitions and remixes. It just wasn't really the vibe. It was a live DJ though, so there could be potential. The lighting and all was cool and the layout wasn't bad so honestly just a few better songs would be perfect! They might have different Djs on different nights, so we will have to try again another night!
***STAFF***
This was really the only issue for me. We went to get a beer from the bar on the dance floor, it was a very mini bar, smaller than the main one, so I imagine they didn't have all the same drinks. We had already ordered a drink just before at the main bar, so I wasn't sure if they had beers or just cocktails/shots at this one, as I could only see liquor bottles.
We stood there forever and the bartender ignored us. I know bars get busy and this is common, but the part that I couldn't believe is when she finally acknowledged us and she said "what?" and I said "could we get two beers please?" and she said "which ones?" and I said "What do you have? or honestly, just the cheapest one is fine." because I had no idea what they had and I am not very picky, we just wanted one more drink before leaving. We had already ordered cocktails when we got there and didn't want to spend a lot on beers, especially since we weren't staying much longer. Without any kind of menu or signage we had no idea what there was. There was clearly no beer on tap at this counter either, so I was assuming they just had a few bottles, and if I am drinking a bottle of beer, pretty much any kind they have would be fine.
Anyways, after saying that, she exhaled loudly and just left and went to the next guy standing by us at the bar and asked what he wanted and proceeded to serve him... she just completely ignored us. We were just wanting one beer with no preference and had no idea what they had, so rather than having her list them all, I just said the least expensive will do. We were not trying to be an inconvenience or anything and just felt kind of bad about how she responded to us.
We were pretty upset, but maybe she was just having a bad night, so we still went back over to the main bar and again tried ordering 2 beers. There was a guy behind the bar and he was like I got you! and I think it was only like 4$ and I think it was Bud Light, I honestly can't remember, but that is a very reasonable price! He was so polite and of course we left a tip too, but we always do at the bar no matter the drink of course.
***BATHROOMS***
Half of them were out of order, so not the best, but bar bathrooms never really are so what can you say haha
***CONCLUSION***
Honestly the place has a lot of potential! The layout and lighting and all is cool and the prices are pretty reasonable. The fact that there is a live DJ is nice, I just wish the music would be a little more updated, but overall it is a pretty cool place!
