The front “courtyard” of Idle Hands almost felt like an oasis from the surrounding noisier clubs. ? The band was fantastic!

The bar itself was fine, it’s actually super cute. The burger from NADC was the saltiest burger I’ve ever had and I love seasoning, I couldn’t even finish it. The fries were delicious but I wouldn’t get the burger again.

Atmosphere is great, go here for the live music and fires. Don't go here for a good drink, they all tasted watered down with already melted ice added in. Sad but I enjoyed the fake grass and music!!

$16 and change for a burger to which they add a 20% “service fee” that there’s no opting out of. After that they ask if you’d like to leave a tip. Complete joke scam, don’t let them rip you off. Will not be coming back here.

Very pricey. They add an automatic 20% gratuity on every transaction. Music very loud

Might have a star doing pasta. It's amazing that the no sub burger joint is worthy of anything but a smug remark.

$16 wagyu burgers at the back of the idle hands bar. We also ordered the dressed fries! Everything was delicious, my bf had to fight the urge to order another burger The bar itself has great drinks and limited seating inside, but plenty of seating outside. Tip: burgers are made as is, they don't take custom orders

Racist. This bouncer said we couldn't go in then proceeded to let 3 ppl in after us. Stupid. Wont be back.
