I went to The Dakota last Saturday night with a friend of mine and I was a bit dubious when we first went in because it looked kinda run down and there was an older crowd sitting around in a dark lounge area. Once the band started playing, a rockabilly trio, things really started to kick off. The dance floor got packed and everyone began to sweat. More people poured into the bar and the dancing got crazier and crazier - with Amy Winehouse lookalikes sipping cocktails and tattooed greasers flanking the bar. The people who hang out here are really friendly and I would recommend The Tavern to anyone who wants to strike up a conversation with strangers. Great energy!
