| - Went to this spot for a drink after dinner at CO with a friend.
I will easily state this establishment is overrated. Entering at the door that says "members only", which is also the place to BECOME a member, can be confusing. This is where you are treated less than until you pay them the membership fee. That is fine, I understand the attempt to be "members only" and "upscale", but again, no need to act like you are holier than thou at the entrance. Especially when it wasn't worth it. 3/4 of the people that roll through here are not anything you desired to enter your facility anyway.
The only nice individual I came in contact with was our server. She was polite and helpful, though the promiscuous attire of the waitresses at this establishment was not really necessary. No one wants, or at least I do not want, to pay $14 for a subpar cocktail and then have to see far too much when a waitress leans over a table clean up glasses. This is not a sports bar.
They boast on being a place where people can come and have like-minded behaviors: responsible, put-together, classy. However, telling someone they have to pay $10 to do so will never work or magically create that environment. It was loud and just basically obnoxious inside. One group was excruciatingly intoxicated and literally made it impossible to hear my friend talk. Not the environment one would imagine when researching this facility.
The interior is nice, a speakeasy attempt at decor done moderately well. But the service was slow. The only reason why I give this a two star and not one, was because the drink was decent. Not worth the price, but decent. I have had better at a nice restaurant.
I will never return. This is an overly rude and obnoxious environment with no need to be. You can be "exclusive" or "high end" without making your patrons regret coming here. A desperately failed attempt at a speakeasy. I will go to Broken Spoke any day over this location.
