Very Nice atmosphere and great staff!. Me and my friends threw a 30th birthday get together for My sister. With the help of Ed Van Ess, who was super easy to work with and very attentive. It was a really nice experience the staff was awesome and we really enjoyed our time there. The DJ was live and it was a great night. Thanks Edward Van Ess and Katra for making my sisters birthday special.

Not Friendly. I would have given this place no stars if I could but citysearch does not allow that. From the moment myself and my girlfriends got to the door we knew things were not going to go to plan. We had a guestlist set up and arrived at 11.14 to be told by the door managerthat we had to pay $20 to get in . All of us were dressed perfectly and there were no guys with us. I told the doorman bouncer guy that I lived around the corner and had come here all the time. I was rudely told that was not his problem and he said name one of the staff if I was from around the corner that I would no someone. I said we set up a list with Elyse and she said it was free till 12 but he said she was wrong. I told him we were going to spend at the bar but he was not having it. He said if we dont pay cover that we would have to spend 200 dollars at the bar and I would have to give my credit card. I asked the big security guy who is always there for help and he said he would call the manager. We waited for 15 minutes and no manager came at which we decided that this was dump looking at all the very unatractive people that were entering while we stood outside. We were not going to spend Saturday Nite outside this place so we gave up and walked accross the street to r-Bar where we had a great nite. THANKS KATRA FOR NOTHING

Depends on the day you go. Went a few months ago, I had no issue getting in the club.. Very nice spot and cozy.. A bit tight and packed but thats pretty much every where you go. The drink were off course a bit pricey but this is the city and it was a saturday when I went. Staff seemed fun, girl where pretty but there was one with long hair, tan skin.. Not sure if she was spanish or from the carribean. she was a bit rude and seem like she couldnt handle the bar alone. When my guest and I ask for service she was rude and at times ignored us. I ended up going to the different floor. Service was the complete opposite and great...over all it was good. I guess everyone is allowed a bad day.
