| - I've only had drinks here, so if you're looking for a food review, you should skip my review...so you can finish reading the rest of the reviews and head right out to Bodega!
We went here for drinks one night after a friend's art opening on Coventry. When I went inside I was immediately blown away by the great music and trendy lighting\decor. We were seated on a couch in an area that was surrounded by curtains. The entire effect made the place into one of those hip places the girls on Sex and the City would go...I used to watch that show and think there was nothing like that in Cleveland! We went here again to celebrate some birthdays, and when I learned we were going here, I was excited all week long.
The drink menu is enormous to the point where I eventually gave up trying to find the "perfect" drink and simply ordered a James Bond martini (called the Vesper). If you can't find a drink on the menu that you'd like, you're probably just too picky.
I have been here twice, and the music has been amazing both times. Once, there was a live jazz band; they got major kudos when they played "Careless Whisper" after I requested it. The second time there was no band, but there was TECHNO playing! I don't think there was a live DJ, but it sounded just as good...the mix was fantastic for the entire time (I was there almost 2 hrs). The music can be a bit loud (some of the folks I was with thought it was incredibly loud) but it's soooooo good!
I'm excited to try the food here sometime--my mom was a Spanish teacher who traveled to both Spain and Mexico, and hopefully I can get her here sometime...just gotta see if there's a time when the music isn't blasting!
All in all, this is definitely an asset to Coventry. I love the sports bars much more, don't get me wrong, but during the dry season between the end of basketball and the beginning of football when there's nothing on...this makes a fantastic place to grab a few drinks with friends!
