| - HOLY SMOKE ALERT!
I am seriously still coughing from all of the chain smoking that was taking place in this bar. I guess I've been spoiled by all of the clean air in Columbus restaurants, pubs, and bars that I was just not prepared for all of the heavy smoke that would linger around me all night!
I have a couple likes and dislikes for this place...
Likes:
- Awesome, awesome crowd! I've found that Pittsburgh locals are super fun! I absolutely loved how everyone cheered the singers on during karaoke and sang along making it extremely comfortable to get up front and center!
- Healthy food choices! Instead of having to worry about adding a ridiculous amount of calories (in addition to the crazy amount I had already consumed for the day)...it was nice to snack on some hummus, fresh tomatoes, feta cheese, and pita bread.
- Very friendly DJ!
- Bartenders were simply wonderful and always made sure you were taken care even with the enormous bar crowd.
- Prices were very reasonable. I think I had six or seven captain and cokes (blush) and the platter for only $20?!
Dislikes:
- POLLUTED AIR. I now have to take my jacket to the dry cleaner, thank you.
- Location. There were no available taxis at any given time. We contacted two different taxi services and they never showed. We finally had a taxi pick us up after calling the hotel valet and asking them to send for us (I was a little desperate).
- This place is very, very, very small. The karaoke room was closed off by 11 PM due to the room being so packed. If you were not in the karaoke room, you were smelling the person next to you's breath.
Aside the heavy smoke and tight spaces, I would recommend Nico's for a fun night of karaoke and cheap drinks with friends!
