It's actually rare of me to commend a bar/lounge since I think a lot of them are just shabbily put together watering holes. But I like this one a lot for various reasons.
We hit up this place on a Wed night (yes, middle of the week ftw) and it wasn't that crowded nor too empty. Everyone had space and a good amount of open seats at the bar. The bartenders are very skilled and put on a show with juggling bottles and other amusing tricks. You can't get bored watching them. On top of that they are very nice and chatty.
But the main attraction are the girls dancing behind a screen. Unlike many other lounges or bars you cannot get bored here even if you're not talking to someone. There will always be something of interest to look at.

A lot of other bars or lounges have TV and I think it's funny how bored people always look up and watch TV. You can do that at home, me thinks. You're there to socialize or catch some entertaining acts.
I think my Jack and coke was only $8 + tip. Not bad considering I can pretty much nurse that thing while watching various entertaining aspects of this lounge.
