They denied me entry into the bar because I have a vertical ID that is from a different state where my ID is valid through 2026. In their policy it states they don't accept vertical IDs however this is not fair for people who just moved here from out of state. This is highly inconsiderate.

Fun place Id you're under the age of 30. If you're over it's still. Fun place to get a drink and listen to music.

We came here with a group for my friend's birthday and had a great time. It's located on the third floor (it shares a building with the Mago Grill Cantina). There was a DJ that started playing around 9:30 and he was really good and played a wide variety of music. The place was packed. Atmosphere is upbeat and overall positive. The dancefloor is relatively small, but they also have seating spread throughout. That's convenient for those who just want to hangout (our boyfriends lol). The bartenders working were on their A game. We did not have to wait long for drinks, which is saying a lot considering how packed it was. I would come back for a night of dancing again in the future.

Awesome third story bar located an elevator ride up from historic Metropolis in beautiful Arlington Heights, IL. Great place to see some local music and maybe dance along to a DJ on Friday night. Newly renovated stage with a dart board and pool table. Great place to host a birthday party or to meet with old friends.

This place is awful. Me and 5 of my friends are 21 and 22 years old. Our IDs don’t expire until 2028 aka we could be 30 years old. We got denied from this bar and could get denied when we are 30 because of their “policy”. We were denied of speaking with a manager and also denied of speaking with the owner. This is all because we have vertical IDs that are legal in the state we live in. They couldn’t even let a cop come to validate that they are real.

if i could give this place zero stars I would. they were so rude and disrespectful when 4 girls from iowa tried to come in using vertical IDs that dont expire till 2027. we got denied. even though all 4 of us are 21-22 and were offering to show pictures of passports and birth certificates. they refused to let us talk to the owner and despite our ids scanning they wouldn't let us in. don't waste your money here.

It was a cool place but a few issues. The floors and bar were incredibly sticky. My shoes were almost stuck. It was early when I went so it seems they don’t do daily mopping near the bar. The outside has barely any lighting. The string lighting seemed like it was turned all the way down. The TV was the only main light source. And it was 61 degrees out and chilly, we couldn’t turn the fire table on because they were out of propane. I always order a Moscow mule wherever I go and the one that they made has a very strong taste of licorice, very off. Not a mule. Also until I needed a glass of water I didn’t realize they were so stingy. Incredibly disappointing that they insist on you buying a bottle of water. It costs you nothing to push that water button. In the 20+ years I’ve been going to bars/clubs/restaurants I’ve never been denied a glass of water. I was dehydrated. So bad for the environment with all those bottles of water. That disturbed me the most.

If you want to be bumped into, and cut in front of at the bar and at your seat, and surrounded by rude drunk barely 21yr olds....this is your place. Been there 3 times. The bands are horrible and they are under staffed. Never going back.Drink prices are reasonable, which is the only reason for 2 stars.

Great DJ's Don Carlo and DJ Match on Friday nights, definitely will be back

Good beer choices! Grabbed a darn good pizza from the pizza place nextdoor. A little loud for this "old guy".... BUT we had a good time!
