If it weren't for the top floor here, this place would be pretty lame. A definitie two stars. After thinking about it, I'm really all over about this place. The cons? The crowd, ridiculous cover, and overall space. The pros: decent music (on Saturdays), well-priced drinks, and a great view from the upper level.
I feel like this has a really westside meets Scottsdale feel minus the douchebaggery. The strip where Bar Smith is located at is kinda "Scottsdale light" in a good way. It's like those 3 to 4 bars are the Kardashian sisters and Hanny's is the quiet, better-looking bastard child around the corner that wants nothing to do with them.
I'm really not knocking this place though. The view that you get from up top is worth it if you're with friends and can have a conversation. The music and dance floor are pretty decent too. There are also plenty of attractive women that aren't skanks that you can talk to if you have enough liquid courage in your system.
Overall, it's a nice spot to stop by at for bar hopping, but don't make this the reason you're going out for.
