Yep. I'm that girl in the neon fishnets that knows every word to St. Elmo's Fire. The movie AND the song.
This place has everything for a child of the 80's like myself could want. Ironically named cocktails. Novelty furniture. Framed albums on the wall that I use as my iTunes shopping list. And a grown man dressed like Billy Idol. (BTW, isn't it so fun to see him out and about Charlotte? I run into him every now and then at Snug Harbor and it's a trip.)
This is my group's standby go-to place for celebrating birthdays or showing it off to friends in town, but you may find us there on an average Saturday as well. And several if not all of us will be in costume. I have been known to specifically save articles of clothing because I might need to wear it to the Breakfast Club one day. If you don't at least put on neon Wayfarers or checkerboard shoelaces or SOMETHING when you go, I daresay you have no fun at life. Live a little.
So why oh why does it only get 4 stars? Well if I could give it 4.5 I would. It's ALMOST there. The cover is a little bit high, in my opinion. And while I love the videos on the wall, they do tend to get repetitive. Lord knows we all love and miss Chris Farley but there's only so many times a night you can watch his Chippendale's audition.
Still one of my faves though. Now, where did I put my blue eyeshadow?
