Good music to enjoy great vibes. Check out the menu for food and beverages. Reserve your private booth at the Hookah lounge on the patio side.

July 2023 review- we had a great time on a rainy Saturday night. Added some new videos in my review.

Old review- Great DJ playing a great set on a rainy Friday night.
Back area has cabana rentals, a rich menu ready to break my diet.

Tonight was my first and last visit to this bar.
I came specifically for the advertised 90s music which was barely played. The DJ took song requests, said yes, and never delivered. That was the first disappointment.
Then came the moment that sealed this review.
Right at the entrance, I tripped over a stand and rolled my ankle and broke my heel. In front of everyone. Not one staff member asked if I was okay. I walked to the booth and explained that my heel was broken and I had no other shoes. The response? I couldn’t come in wearing my backup shoes (crocs). So I walked back to my car on a broken heel, on bare pavement and had to put on my 16-year-old son’s size 13 sneakers just to get back inside. No offer of a refund. No apology. Just laughter.
The irony? As I was leaving, I spotted a woman inside wearing Scooby-Doo heel crocs. I pointed it out to the booth attendant, who laughed again because apparently that’s the customer service standard here.
The outdoor “VIP” seating is also a hazard dirty, broken wood, not sturdy. No one was even sitting there, and now I understand why.
I paid for parking, paid the cover charge, hurt myself on their property, and was met with zero accountability and zero professionalism. My ankle is still hurting.

I made the best of my night because that’s who I am but I will not be returning, and I’d caution anyone else to think twice.
