The music is so good but the workers are sooooooo rude. Bartenders are rude, DJs are rude. Blonde, tall bartender couldn't be more unpleasant. Poor service across the board.

Come here for burlesque nights and get several drinks but rarely order food. However, from what I remember, the food is good. I love the atmosphere and service.

This could be so good but the music is played by an 80yo man and genuinely don’t think anyone with enough energy to stay out past 10pm would recognise a single tune. Which is a shame.

Disco themed music planning. There’s a little dance floor towards the back. Dancer dancing on top of the bar throughout the night. Space gets a bit tight, but still a nice vibe.

The DJ on Friday nights is so absolutely terrifyingly creepy but we’ve alll decided it’s fine: it’s like dancing like the year is 1995

The bouncer was so rude to my friend and wouldn’t let her in for literally no reason at all. She didn’t do anything wrong. Would never go back after seeing how rude the staff there is.

Blonde bar tender is rude and seemed to go to work after a break up or something. Never experienced an attitude as random as hers. A simple no to my question of getting another drink after a fly landed in mine would have been enough. I swear im not a Karen.

I used to come here regularly - absolutely loved Ethyls. The Ethyls of today is different from that of years ago. Prices have skyrocketed (with new fees) and quality has gone downhill. Cocktails are lacking for the price and taste weak. Bartenders and service went from OK to awful. As the years have passed since covid, it seems as though the charm has slowly warn off. I understand it’s tough for businesses today, but ripping away the things that make a place friendly isn’t the solution. I’d recommend elsewhere

Came all the way from New Jersey to eat here only to find it closed for a private event. How elitist!
