Ruined birthday

by jjgallagher at Citysearch

My boys and I used to come in all the time to see the hot bartenders! I brought a friend in last night for his birthday and it was lame. We got served by this guy who looked like my grandpa and took an hour to get us drinks. It wasnt even that busy! This place used to be fun but now it just sucks. Not coming back.

  • Pros: used to be hot bartenders, but not anymore
  • Cons: slow service, bad attitude

Wisconsin Loves Legends!!!

by WisconsinLovesLegends at Citysearch

By luck myself and four of my girlfriends found Legends. We visited a number of places on our trip and found this to be our favorite. We were met with friendly staff and service better than great. The inside is beautiful and it's close to the Empire State Building. Lunch or Dinner is great. After for drinks and dancing is great as well; there is a DJ with music videos on a screen. From oldies to new age music; they've got it all! The food is affordable and the drinks are wonderful as well. It is a must experince for anyone in or going to NY City!

  • Pros: Service, cleanliness, friendly, tasty! MUST EXPERIENCE!!
  • Cons: That it is not located in Wisconsin!
