This is cute little spot for a Tuesday. The activities and food was supposed to start at 5, but they were running on CPT ( lol- iykyk). Nice open area, big screen TV's. The sound system was good and so was the music.The food was great. The wings and the fries were hot and delicious. The sponsors of the event were extremely nice and definitely kept checking on my party while we waited.This is a neighborhood spot so the locals know to come around 630pm or 7pm. (I'm not a local, first time here) The bartender /waitress was terrible. She stayed on her phone and talked to the people sitting directly at the bar the whole time I was there (I'm starting to believe this is a jersey thing- 5th establishment I've visited and it's the same thing-catering to the locals or the people sitting directly at the bar)I got up 4 times to get our drinks from the bar. At one point I stood there for two minutes and one of the employees (maybe manager or owner) who was standing at the bar had to get her attention for me cause she nose deep in her phone. Smh.This place definitely has potential to be a great spot especially if they keep the Tuesday sponsors for the food and drinks. They just need to start on time and get some bartenders who are attentive, know how to work a room and keep the customers happy.The patrons were pretty cool too.

They're actually closed. Don't waste your time trying to go. They were supposedly open at 11AM the day we tried and got there and it was dark and locked.

The drinks food n hookah is served all separately . Not my first time but I love to always support , I almost feel at home but I’m also a business owner and management needs some help ! Bartending need to acknowledge the customers when they approach her ! But I see this isn’t a new issue it’s a repetitive problem ,get it together! Great music tho

It’s decent but I can’t give it a 5 star only because the wings were overcooked and the salmon burnt. The bartender was all on her phone and conversing with her friends at the other side of the bar. I get that it’s slow and your friends are making the best of it but the fact that she neglected me and my colleague and even looked at us a couple times but didn’t bother to check in was kind of off putting. Then the chef was just at the bar relaxing. Again, I understand that it was a slow night and barely customers but still, it was like going to a friend house and everyone just hanging and chitchatting. Even paying the bill took a while to get her attention. Disappointed

Eh. Not really my vibe but I think it’s because I’m use to going out in Brooklyn and Manhattan. If you’re a local you may like it. The music was good, the food not so much. I ordered a steak burger and broccoli. I asked for the burger to be medium rare and they said the cook only makes it one way - basically well done. The people were ok. Again if you’re from jersey maybe you will like it. There’s a latin bar near my house that I actually like better but I know how to salsa and bachata so it was more my vibe. Also, maybe because I stuck out so much people were nicer to me at the latin bar (I’m a black woman). I probably wouldn’t recommend this place if you are a young professional. It won’t pass the vibe check ??‍♀️.

I’ve been here twice and had a great experience. Tonight when I came I was told it was $20 charge, which was surprising. After sitting at a table for 30 minute me and my friend were told we had to leave the small table or buy a bottle. Then the DJ announced if you walked out of the place you had to pay a re-entry fee. Can’t even walk out to get fresh air. Turns out it was a private party. If we would have known that we would have never paid the $20. The kitchen only had 3 items available. The toilet looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks and there was only half a roll left. Tonight was just ghetto. All about money and nothing about customer service. The “promoter” had a nasty attitude. I asked for a refund and was refused. Never again! Go to a bigger lounge with better trained staff and up front and honest advertising.

Stay away from this establishment. We arrived to enjoy the evening, as we've done in the past and were surprised by the cover fee. After asking a few questions to ensure we would get a table and that the kitchen was open, we paid and sat down. We go up to the bar to get the menu and while deciding what to eat (only 3 items on the menu- more the last time I was here) we were told that we had to get up from the table as it was reserved and for those with bottle service only. We spoke with Al and he informed us that it was a private party and we couldn't keep our table as it wasn't reserved and we didn't order a bottle and had to either go up stairs and sit behind the dj or leave with no refund. We asked all of the questions and were still lied to by the staff. Stay away. Make sure if you come there's no private parties or mandatory bottle service. Never again.
