| - I met up with some friends on a Saturday night. This is what you'd call a "pre-game" spot. A little more lively than a bar, but not a nightclub atmosphere. It never got overly crowded, and while the DJ (DJ Shadow Red was spinning that night) was fantastic, only a few people danced here and there. The lounge itself is dark and comfortable.
However- the prices for their "specialty drinks" were pretty outrageous. $18?!! I don't think I've paid more than $15-$16, TOPS, and I've been to most of the lounges in town. The bartender said they were out of the ingredients for one of them at 10:45 (um... okay). While I enjoyed the drink I received, the price definitely soured me a bit.
The non-specialty drinks were more reasonably priced, however. The cocktail servers, while great eye-candy, were few and far between, and didn't check on our table very often.
All in all, it was a fine experience, the music was good, there was no cover, and it was nice to be in a lounge setting for a change. I'll just make sure not to order their fancy drinks again!
