my boyfriend and i recently visited VTR and had a couple drinks on the house thanks to the generous owner. we had wanted to visit for quite a while, but always felt nervous about our small pocket books and we are the types who generally opt for hot chocolate and netflix rather than a night out. :)
we went for happy hour on a friday. i ordered a fizz drink and it was unlike anything i've had before - light, slightly sweet, definitely felt the alcohol in it but didn't feel like i was drinking anything heavy. there was a lot of bread and cheese offered up for free, however, we had just eaten some treats from the west side market otherwise we would have been all up on that. ;)
the bartenders were friendly, the crowd was diverse, and the vibe was good. we're definitely going back for another happy hour (where the drinks are only $10 each) and hopefully one day we'll save up for an extravagant night out, sequins and all!
