I might be a little over eager here, but I am so excited about Bar Smith!
Angelina C., Khamis H., and I went this Friday for the time. Paid the $5 cover with minimal bitching. Went upstairs and immediately began dancing our feet off.
The music was wonderful. Electro-y and cleverly mixed. The crowd was deliciously diverse and dancey. My favorites were a black couple that danced on each other, eyes closed, nonstop for the entire night, the enormous and muscly European guy who put my dance moves to shame, and the bouncy, pretty girl who I fell in love with. I fell in love with at least three girls on the dance floor. A good night, I'd say.
I don't know about the drinks (I had been pre drinking before I got there, obviously) or the scene downstairs. I will be back to check them out. I am so glad to have an alternative to Homme or Amsterdam for the nights I want to dance!
