| - I have been coming here for about 10 years now. To be honest, not *my* popular to go.
The first couple of times I came out, about a decade ago, they use to have a drink menu set in an alphabetical order and a girl (friend) and I went through the entire menu during a summer at their patio. NOW , THAT WAS COOL. A lesson learned back then? The drink called "A Godfather," it's truly, nasty and disgusting. Pure alcohol.
But ever since then, I only use the location when I have a large party and when, well, Hemingway across the street is full.
Don't get me wrong, Remy's has a modern decor, a dance floor and a large patio which in my opinion is nicer to be in than Hemingway's. Since Remy's patio is rather long and the tables are set farther apart, which gives a more refined look.
The minuses is that as far as I have been/walked by the place the dance floor is always deserted even when the music is pumping, so I would not go there to dance. Also once, at a party on the 2nd floor -- indoors not the patio bar-- bartenders were only selling bottles (even though beer tabs where at the bar) but when I headed downstairs they sold me a pint no problem at about the same price as a bottle. It's wasn't my party so I do not know if they had an understanding or what but I felt that it was kind of scam-ish of the place. After that, everyone who saw me get one, began doing it too. Bartenders did not seem too pleased so then they asked for us not to walk up and down stairs holding pints. Fair. Still scam-ish about the beer though.
I have never tried any of their food since to be honest their menu does not compel *me* so I only go there for drinks. However some of my friends have had some and they reported nothing special. So the only thing I would suggest is to try it yourself.
So in the end, the best reason to go to Remy's is to enjoy a few drinks in their patio. Keep in mind that it can get kinda of busy. I would even suggest it a as laid-back third date place if you are going just for drinks. Also I have seen that it is a cool place for a girl's night out.
On a funny note, if you are there at the patio, check the east side. Someone lives there, and they have a balcony which overlooks into the patio. Man, that would suck if you need to get up early, since it can get quite loud on a Friday night. Also, I have seen them try to have a brunch in the mornings, not the best place to have one if they appreciate their privacy.
If you want a central place, with a patio that feel more like a martini bar than a pub-ish, then this place fits the bill.
