This is a dope spot for live music. I'd actually been here before but I hadn't come for the live music. I was actually down the street and I came just then to get a drink while I was waiting for an event to start.
So if you're in a downtown area, and need some live entertainment, this is going to be a good spot for you. They have what I would assume would be comfort or soul food all up and down the menu.
Parking, you can park anywhere around if you can find parking but they have valet. And I think valet is like $10 or something, so it's not that expensive. I talked to the guy and he had my car parked out front so I can come right out the door, of course I tip him accordingly.
You'll come in and be able to see the stage and the plethora seats that they have. If you look to the right, you'll be greeted by the hostess and you can check in. I did that and then I waited at the bar. It's a pretty nice size bar, not really big though, but it has plenty of things to pick from. They have a lot of spicy drinks. I did want something with espresso and they didn't have that so I tried something else. I'll detail that a little bit lower in the review. The bartender was super cool and we chatted up for a little bit while she had the time. I will also say they had TVs at the bar but don't expect it to be a sports bar situation. They're literally a couple TVs so if you have a big group trying to watch a game this will not be a good spot for it.
My table was called and in I was able to sit down and got a decent seat. The entertainment, fortunately, started actually in on time fashion. Which sometimes you really hate to get a show that starts at 7:00 and then you don't actually get to see anything until 7:30. They started on time and he started off with some hits. He sang a myriad of different songs so it kind of has something to appeal for everybody. I thought that was great. He took it in a mission break, which is okay, then he came back and killed it a little bit more. Tow. At the end of the night they started dancing in front of the stage, because the weight staff got pretty active and got pretty involved in the show. Encourage other people to do the same so I thought that was pretty cool. We see they really had a good time.
Anyway, I thought that the food was okay. The service was okay too. Even though I will say that a few times took a while to get refills. And they forgot something on my order. It happens, I am in the service industry so I understand how that goes, it was just something to note that the last time that I went, they weren't on their A game when it came to that.
My first drink was an old fashioned, it was pretty good. My second drink was de Uncle nearest signature cocktail. Which was okay, it may have been a little bit sweet and tangy for me. But of course I drank it because I like Uncle nearest. I wouldn't get that one again. I'd probably just get another old-fashioned.
Chicken wings - the wings were pretty good. They were very nice sized wings. They didn't have multiple flavors for them. Which I thought was strange because Atlanta has lemon pepper everything LOL. The waiter tried to gas them up and say that they were better than lemon pepper, clearly he can't have been Southern for that long LOL. But still, they were pretty good. It's just that I would have wished that they had had other flavors versus just taking whatever base flavor the establishment uses.
Creole pasta - the Creole pasta is pretty good. It was very flavorful and creamy. Wish it had a little bit more protein in it but what it had in there was okay. You know how you'll eat off of a pasta dish and halfway through. You're already done with the protein and you have nothing but pasta left, that's something you want to avoid. But I'm sure they haven't measured out so I get that. But just saying I wish it had a little bit more or I've been a little bit more balanced. But for the flavor wise, it was nice and flavorful.
At the end of the day, I thought it was a good experience the last time I went and I would probably go back. I wouldn't rush for the food because the food was pretty good but I'd rush for the entertainment. The person I had up there shut that joint down. Going from all across the spectrum. I would definitely suggest coming here for entertainment.
