| - I have been to this new bar twice and have been far from impressed.
First night: showed up around 9pm. There were still tables on the dance floor, so obviously no dancing was allowed yet. They do have a really cool set up with ping-pong and life-size jinga, which is the reason for the second star. It was really hard to get a drink, the staff seemed annoyed that I wanted a drink, and once I got one it was $17, granted it was a double but that still seemed like a lot. There are no cocktail waitresses... all drinks must go through the bar. They moved the tables off the dance floor around 1030pm and I was at the bar again. Security was taking the chairs from the bar at the same time they were taking the tables from the dance floor and while I was standing, they were VERY rude to the people in the chairs. They almost literally forced one guy out of a chair for asking why he couldn't finish his drink sitting down. The guy with the drink could have been more polite, but since security should be setting the example, they could have been much more polite. After those extremely controversial chairs were removed, all went well from there.
Night two: showed up around 1130pm. It seemed near impossible to get up to the bar-- customers were just standing around talking and even dancing, making it near impossible for anyone to get a drink. They bar tenders not security attempted to get people to move so other could get a drink. It took me about five minutes to get up to the bar, because saying "excuse me" either got ignored or almost started a fight.
Once I got up to the bar I waited another ten minutes just to get my drink order. It seemed like a cluster behind the bar. One bartender was arguing with customer, another bar tender brought over drinks that no one in the area had ordered... all while we had yet to get our order taken. Once we ordered, we got our two drinks, paid $36 for two drinks before tip (doubles, again) and we went to go near the dance floor.
We walked to the very front by the DJ stage and just wanted to walk across the front of the dance floor to get to the other side where our friends were. Security ran up on us like we were fighting and told us we needed to get off the dance floor because we had drinks. Mind you they stopped us while we were walking across the front of the dance floor with no intention of stopping.
That explained why people were clogging the bar area with dancing and talking. I can understand why a bar would say no drinks on the dance floor. Drinks drop drinks and yes it is annoying. However, it's a bar (a place that serves drinks) that is known for being a place to dance (on a dance floor).
This place can definitely use some work. These two visits were more than enough for me. I'll try again in a couple months once they work out the kinks...
