on Citysearch Feb 02, 2010This place used to be good, but it has totally gone down the toilet over the last year. The food is always cold and the drinks are weak. Do not waste your money on any of the "signature" drinks because they all taste like... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 02, 2010Myself and two female friends went, expecting a good time (b/c the reviews were good) but were disapointed. There are couches spread between two rooms, and the music is okay, but this place is not for dancing at all.... (more)

on Citysearch May 10, 2008Regarding Yeya's comment below: It sounds to me like the management was 100% right to ask an a patron who was "really drunk" and "throwing up" to leave. Guess what - paying customers who know how to behave in public... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 09, 2007We loved this place, but the other night we were extremely disappointed with the bartending service. The bartender was definitely not in perfect form and this led to a long wait-time for drinks service. Thankfully... (more)

on Citysearch May 13, 2007<b>In Short<br></b>Ordering a Sex on the Sofa (or any of the other provocatively named cocktails) could easily cause blushing at this low-lit lounge--its couches are perfect for the deed. The flea market-style... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 04, 2007I love this place. I like to go here before I head out to a big club or even just to chill for the whole night. I thought it was in an odd spot because it's residential but I love now because it's kind of hidden.... (more)
