| - I hate using this lazy phrase, but the Bikini is the quintessential "It is what it is" bar.
So, what is it?
Hit or Miss.
I've had great times here ... other times completely bored and forced.
First of all, my major complaint is the NO CARD policy. Fine, i can respect that, though like everyone else under 35, rarely carry cash ... but dammit, can you make sure that your crappy ATM works?
So, the PBR is cheap and drinking a pitcher of it is fun. I wouldn't touch a mixed drink here.
Their juke box is pretty ace, but alas, good luck getting a play on it. Not likely if you're just passing through.
So what is the distinguishing factor for the hit/miss aspect? Come to think of it, the great times that i've had here have all come towards the end of the night. That is to say, I like going here for about an hour before last call. Its a complete mess in there and everyone's rushing to get that last pitcher in and the vibe is festive and chaotic and generally exciting. Any earlier and I'm regretting coming all the way to the edge of the valley, which in my own mind, ends at Bikini Lounge.
