I've frequented this location in the past when it operating by other names. The previous owners kept a reasonably respective operation that one would call middle of the road in appearance and service. Although they were respectable they may have lost the business acumen to stay profitable enough to stay afloat. This new establishment has found a niche in the market that has attracted a group of clientele that appear to not value good service or reasonably appointed surroundings.
I decided to visit this location to hear a band that I was familiar with and had liked on precious occasions. In face, this was the first time I believe that this group had played at this location. Knowing the band and Aeroflot the patrons that were there it became evident that the two did not match.
After entering the establishment I had to find someone to ask about a table or a booth to sit. There were a number of servers standing around and none appeared to have a clue. When I asked the bartender who to talk to he said "find one of the girls in the short shorts". That helped a lot since most of the girls in the place had short shorts. After finally finding at least one server who had a small semblance of a clue I got a seat. That was round one of my night. Round two was trying to get a drink. Had to go to the bar to get my own after sitting invisibly for quite a long time. The one couple with me wanted to get something to eat. Round three, had to find someone for a menu, finally got a server to bring one menu for 4 people. Thinking that any smart server would know that we were planning on eating she would return to take an order. Nope, had to get the bartender to order the food and bring it to the table. Never saw a server or were asked if we needed anything the entire time we were there.
This may be the place to bring your own drinks and just sit and listen to the music. They are still in business, but, I just see a lot of profits missed.
By the way, the food was good, a star for that. Service was non existent. If you visit, pack a bottle.
