| - Definitely not what I was expecting in every way possible. Usually, I don't like bars, but my friend's cousin's band, Otherwise, was playing that night, so she invited me and my friends to come down to watch them perform. The band itself was good, but I'm supposed to be reviewing The Black Door, right?
The Black Door is not your typical bar. Sure, there is a bar in the back complete with drinks and bar food, but everything else about this place isn't like any of the dive bars I've been to. First off, don't judge a book by its cover. While the outside of The Black Door is nothing special, I was surprised at how nice it was inside. Comfy lounge chairs, VIP tables, mini chandeliers, mirrors...I was confused...is this a bar or nightclub (minus rude bouncers and a dress code)? While the interior was nice, I didn't appreciate some of the videos that were playing on the flat screens. I think I saw more body parts than I wanted to...it was not nice and I wish I could have changed the channel or something. So for those who are a little on the conservative side, don't watch the videos. Anyways, I didn't drink or eat anything, so I can't comment about the prices.
Will I be coming back here again? Probably not, unless my friends really want to go.
P.S. When the parking lot is packed, don't pay for valet; park at the lot behind the building. Also, behind the Bob Marley wall picture is where they stash their alcohol supply (right next to the stage)...just an interesting tidbit I thought some people would find amusing.
