    I’ve had good and bad nights here, the venue itself is nice, but the music is hit or miss and it’s a little bit overhyped I feel.

    Reprehensible behavior. GF paid for $19 bill w/ $100. Got change for $50. All I can assume, saw a single girl at a bar, thought drunk given the lateness, tried to take advantage & got caught. We left!

    Weird vibe. The music is interesting. The line was super long but I'm not sure why because it wasn't fun.
