Stopped in Howl at the Moon before a show a couple weekends ago. This was a first time for me so not knowing what to expect I could tell quickly this was a dance club that sold a decent selection of beers but probably much more known for their over the top sweet boozing buckets that were stacked behind the bar.
We were there early in the evening, maybe 6:15. There was no other patrons at the time but they seemed to be getting set up for a night of piano playing and dancing. I noticed some bouncers or something at the door that I assume would collect covers and card people but we were early and therefor were not asked for any money, which is good for them as I would have turned around and walked back out. Sitting at the bar the bartenders seemed nice. There were a lot of them standing around and talking to each other. I'm guessing they are much more useful say around 10 PM or so, than at 6:15 with two guests.
After two drinks we took off for the show. Not a bad place but I am guessing I won't be returning since it's undoubtedly loud and annoying, during their "peak hours" filled with drunk kids who are blasting buckets of cheap liquor and sweet mixers who will inevitably vomit hopefully in a toilet. Not my bag baby. But during the day, not a bad place.
