As far as ambiance goes, I really like this place. It gives off a very artsy & hipster vibe- definitely a chill place to hangout. As far as everything else goes though, in my opinion, it's pretty mediocre. First off, the real party is always upstairs. The problem is, it takes an arm & a leg to actually GET upstairs. There's always a line that you wait in for at least 20-30 minutes (unless you're desperate enough to pay the guy @ the bottom of the stairs, because then he'll let you up right away). Also, i can't speak for every bartender that works there, but the one that actually took my drink order? Definitely needed to take a few more classes. He had no idea how to make a tequila sunrise, a midori sour, or an AMF. Like, alright? Ended up just getting a jack & coke. Kinda disappointing.
