| - I came here with about dozen people of varying age from late 20s to 40s.
THE LOCATION
Have to switch up my typical order of things, as this place needs a separate mention for its location. If you are not familiar with the area, you probably will not even know it exists. City North looks like an abandoned parking structure/office space during the day and despite driving past the area for the past several years, this year was the first time I found out anything even exists in there and that's only because a friend of mine told me about it.
THE FOOD/DRINKS
I tried a couple martinis, red bull vodka, scotch and vodka and did not come away thinking that an ingredient was missing or a water founds its way into the drink. The martinis come in a metal mixer in addition to your glass which is a nice touch, but carrying the drink from a bar to friend(s) becomes quite a fascinating adventure. The prices are on the high side, but I figure you are also paying for the waitresses looking good.
Late at night when the hunger could no longer be quenched by drinks, my wife and I ordered some sort of a pizza thing that was reasonable priced and sized and was actually tasty. Kudos for having that, although the food menu to me seemed a bit on a skimpy side for things that would be easy to eat late at night and not necessarily sober.
SETTING
If you have a narrow filed of view, the place looks like it can be a part of a nice strip of bars and clubs in a real city. Getting over the fact that 100 feet in any direction the development ends takes a few drinks.
By my approximate count, there are two bars, some individual tables inside as well as on the patio and of course the dance floor area which is relatively small. So you have quite a variety of places to be at. For SMOKERS out there, this is probably one of the most friendly places I've been to, as the patio where you can smoke is just about as comfortable as the interior, something to remember when it is 110 outside.
SERVICE
Joe and Ashley (mostly Ashley) took great care of our mostly ESL pack of drinkers, which must have been quite a challenge, as Ashley gets quite a bit of attention from male patrons due to the combination of the attire all the girls wear at this place and the particulars of her physique.
Obviously drunk/rowdy get lead out the door in a hurry and the drunkards that try to get their keys from valet get a time out before getting the car.
THE CROWD
Probably the most important part of this place to most people that come here. The crowd is very varied in age from mid 20s to entirely-too-old-for-this-place. Noticeable number of lone wolves (like the old drunkard that tried hitting on my wife) and lone cougars (sometimes younger). It would appear that a lot of people come here to hit or be hit on. If you are not into that, bring bodyguards or skip a shower :)
OTHER
There was a live cover band at the beginning of the night and while entertaining, the quality of their singing made it seem like karaoke night at first.
