I’m sad to say in all the years and times I’ve been to this same vortex today was the last day. First off, I nor others of my party weren’t ID’d, the rap playlist was a serious mood killer…..a rap playlist in the vortex????

I’ve been to the Vortex quite a few times, but tonight they really knocked it out of the park. Sky gave incredible service! Burgers? Out of this world. Mothercluckin chicken rolls? A must try. The funnel cake fries? Can’t leave without them. All around, the Vortex and Sky left us smiling from ear to ear! Thank you guys for an awesome night! See you soon!

Enjoyed our night at Vortex Midtown. Our server, Claire, recommended the Freaky Tiki and Zombie Apocalypse… we ordered both and they did not disappoint! They also had house drafts and liquor for pretty cheap. Good vibe, good food!! Will be back
