| - I'm not looking to go back, despite a few positives. This place just wasn't for me - some of that is on me, some of it's on the place.
The place is trying really hard to be different and doing in a way that all looks the same.
Beer list was overpriced and awful. I'm OK with that though, because they had a good list of mixed drinks. Cheap beer in cans at a large markup or crafted cocktails. That is what this place does and I don't mind paying for a cocktail. Except most of the cocktails tasted were just too sweet or not really well balanced. Also, while I get trying to keep up with that whole mason jar retro thing that used to be interesting - if you are hand crafting cocktails then you should put some care into how you serve them. Glassware makes a difference.
Another thing that makes a difference is having bartenders that actually seem like they care to take your drink order - I just couldn't find one and it's a huge part of the reason why we left. Our group went 3 rounds and each one took forever. Not only to get the bartenders attention when you are pretty much the only one there waiting, but to have them actually made.
Another reason for leaving was that the seating was flat out uncomfortable. Again, I get the vintage project feel they were going for. It just isn't enjoyable. There is a reason why those designs were left rust.
The parking, as mentioned by many others, is awful.
It was nice sitting outside. It was a very open space. If you enjoy dancing there was a large area for it with people actually dancing. Although poorly executed there is potential to have a decent cocktail scene. There is a pretty diverse scene there.
However, so much of that space brings no function to actually enhancing what I want when going out for drinks with friends.
A gift shop with other novelties - yeah, no.
A boxing ring? - I love boxing, but pointless other than to say that you have a boxing ring.
Ping Pong, cornhole, etc? Sure - I've been known to play at bars that have these things - just not that many options to play for such a large space and watching strangers play games isn't exactly as fun as playing yourself.
That weird retro kitchen art type installation - again, why?
The place can get away with a lot of these space wasters, because they have so much space and it's easy to just walk past to find what you do want.
However, for what I would want - a comfortable place with tasty drinks and good service that is easy to interface with - this place fails.
It was an inconvenient mess from the moment I entered the valet chute.........
