The DJ on Friday June 6 was a dick and horrible DJ. DO NOT COME
We came here while on my friends bach party and had a great time. It did get EXTREMLY packed on Fridays and Saturdays (a given but it was hard to stand without getting hit by people walking by). The bouncers were pretty good, very attentive.
The bathrooms were dirty (also a given since it was packed). The bussers were very good at picking up trash on the floor people threw down, etc.
The DJ......I do not know his name but this he was the BEST DJ I have ever heard at a bar. He blended songs perfectly and the transitions were seamless. He knew how to read the room and change up the vibe if no-one was feeling it.
Drinks were standard pricing $8 for a beer, etc. We defiantly had a blast here and came back the next day for a few hours.
Excellent bar for dancing w/friends
It was a cool place, but it gets one star because they literally change the total amount on the receipt that you sign when you tab out. I was there on Friday night, it was the start of my night so I was pretty sober when ordering my two rounds of drinks for my friends. My total amount were not even values so I know for sure I didn’t spend an exact $33.00 and $50.00 for my drinks, because I remember writing down the cent values on the bill. However when I checked my bank statement I see these numbers meaning they upped my tab after I signed it without my permission… which I’m pretty sure is illegal.
I’d give this place 0 stars if I could!!! I used the men’s bathroom because the girl’s line was long and the bartender got SO mad and was banging on the stall door for me to open up the door while I was on the toilet before kicking me out. Absolute pervert.
Cool spot with a patio. Great music and food.

Djs at night are absolutely horrid. Have no sense of music rythem or how to mix properly. This dude tonight sounds like a newbie. Jumping from song to song, genre to genre, super slow to super fast with 0 mixing abilities. Sounds like a tiktok dj that was ordered off temu. Made the experience horrible. Had to leave after a bit because the music was that bad

Only non dog friendly bar I can find on west 6th. Not very clear about their dog policy either, drove down there from Domain area for nothing.

The bar was empty/dead, me and my friend group of 10 people were on an 80s themed bar crawl, all dressed up in bright neon, we went to the bar and started dancing outside when there was no one really dancing and hardly any people, then after 20-30 minutes more and more people kept coming in joining us and the bar got packed. Every 5 minutes dif people were coming in to dance with us complimenting our outfits and asking what we were doing. We had locked our bikes up on the fence outside of the bar, there are NO signs saying not to do that anywhere. While dancing we noticed a lady going up and taking pictures of every single bike, we asked her why she was taking those pictures, she lied and said she was “starting her own bike business.” 5 minutes later we were all asked to move our bikes and that we can’t lock them on the sidewalk/fence. They were not in anyone’s way, we were all by them the entire time, and like I said there was zero signage saying we couldn’t. Every other bar we visited on the crawl (9 other spots) allowed us to lock our bikes up on their fences. It felt like the bar was empty and people kept coming in because we were the first and only group dancing. They were fine with us being there when it was empty, but after we got there and got the party started once it was packed suddenly it wasn’t okay anymore? Also who was that weirdo lady taking the pics of our bikes? We absolutely will never go back and do not recommend in the slightest. Trash atmosphere, trash customer service, and overall weird behavior between that weird lady and the bouncers.

the bartender tipped themself more then i had put down, me and my friends when out to the key bar on the weekend, and we where all paying for each other drinks. My bill was $49 and i gave the a $1 tip to make it $50. the bartender gave himself a $10 tip to make it $59. when my friend had gotten drinks she had gotten a $39 bill, my friend had put a $10, to make it $49. but the bartender put a$30 tip for himself, to make that a $69 bill in total. We had other friends who where putting bigger tips. so he didnt mess with there stuff and put bigger tips. Im just hear to say if you go here make sure to watch your bank accnt. and get a receipt as soon as i tip the tip he took the bill and never gave me my receipt and i didnt think anything of it. so that was on me. i did nt have a bad time there the issue i have is putting a bigger tip on something that wasnt supposed to be big. (in total me and my friends had spend over $100 on drinks, and only two of my friends didnt drink because they wanted to make sure we where okay.)

Very good atmosphere. Very beautiful women. Slightly high drink prices. Overall, it's definitely a place that you can visit more often, which we will do a second time this evening. The staff is extremely friendly and correct.
