| - It's not your typical "South Side" joint, which I mean as a compliment. The decor is what I'd call volcano-chic, with fixtures that are curved like they eroded that way and sparkly bits all over the place, which gets especially fun when you check out a dance night such as their 80s Night Friday (at which I'm becoming something of a regular).
If you do like the 80s Nights, this is a -- ahem -- rock-solid one. (Sorry.) Seriously, though, you'll hear a lot of great tunes, especially later into the night. Downside? It gets constant-strangers'-elbows-in-your-sides crowded as you dance past midnight.
As for the drinks -- it's been said before that they're rather weak in the booze department, and I have to agree. The bar service is actually quite good on a customer service level, especially considering the wall of humanity they're tending to, but unless you're drinking the MD 20/20 they've got for sale, don't expect any sort of wallop in your glass.
Overall, I'd recommend at least one go-round here; it's a unique and welcoming place. (Double-plus welcoming if you're a smoker.)
