| - How does everyone not know about this place?
I decided to try out based on Mona's review and I was completely shocked. I happened to have my camera with me and I think I got a little camera happy because I knew that no one else would believe that something like this was at this location, and looked so amazingly nondescript from the outside.
From the outside, the only thing that sticks out in a "this might be a cool place" kind of way is the sign. Industrial, but cool. The rest we decided was more a stucco meets industrial look. But once I opened the door.... wow! Like the roller coasters that take your picture at just the right moment - there should be one for when you walk through the door.
Beautiful dark wood u-shaped bar with accents of diamond-plate in and behind the bar. A few booths and tables around the edges of the room. Several TV's in the bar, and a big flat one pointing out toward the pool table. Beautiful stone accents along the entry wall that takes you out to the patio where those stone accents are carried over into the fireplace. There is a good selection of outdoor furniture and a full BBQ that is often used during private parties. It was really amazing. Jasmine, our bartender was very friendly as were many of the patrons. They all invited us to partake in the munchies (chips, dip, veggies) that was available on a side table. Very hospitable.
The only reason it's a 4 star vs 5 is the neighborhood. I can completely understand why a girl might not to walk into and out of this place alone at night. Also, we had a few "interesting" walk-ins from outside. They were good for conversations.
One note, one of the guys I was talking with, Joe, mentioned that the only downfall to a guy like him in this place was the general lack of women. He said while he loves the place and always has a good time, well, let's just say there might have been a reason that I and my blond friend were getting some extra attention. So ladies, feel like getting flirted with for a few hours? Go by and say hello. And if you're cute, ask for a guy named Joe.
