An excellent place to meet up with friends!
Cloud 9 reminds of the pie shops I grew up around (not pizza joints...pie as in pecan or apple). You went there for pie...great pie. You also went to meet up with friends, drink coffee and let the happenings of the week melt off.
Cloud 9 is the the alcohol infused version of those pie shops. The atmosphere is fun and friendly. The drinks are desserts in liquid form, and the tapas are a nice touch for a craving or two.
While some may knock the pricing at Cloud 9, I'd like to remind them that you get what you pay for. If you like everything about the place except the pricing, you need to realize that part of what makes this place appeal to you, is the fact that it is kept that way due to the pricing. What type of crowd or ambiance would you expect from $1 Bud Lights and $1 rail shots? That's not what you were looking for if you came here.
I like it here. It's not the type of place I'd plant myself normally, but it's still a great time!
Try: Any one of those foofy martinis...man they taste great!
Avoid: Coming here and complaining about the prices
