| - I love the mix of 1-2 star and 5 star reviews The Casbah has. I'm going to put my vote for smackdab in the middle, with a solid 3 star review.
Don't get me wrong. For fancy drinking, I adore this bar. The decor and the low-lit prettiness is very sexy. The drinks are overpriced, but well worth it. I had some seasonal cocktail once that had blackberry brandy, sherry, cream (and possibly other things), and two ripe blackberries floating on top, served in a martini glass. Since it's been 4+ years and that drink is still distinguishable from all other fancy drinks in my mind, you know it was a well spent $8. I have come to drink here many times and have enjoyed it thoroughly each and every time.
The eating, though? Not so much. The food was average at best, but very overpriced. I remember the restaurant being mostly dead, but service being slow. My overall opinion of The Casbah (which had been so high) dropped a lot that night.
So, go late for some nummy drinks. Skip dinner.
