About as "solid" as jello
2 Star Rating: Below Average

01/23/2008 Posted by ryansunnn4

One of the posters on here said this place was "solid solid solid." So I thought to myself, how could I go wrong? Well, that wasn't very hard. The drinks are watered down and pricey with a stuffy, ditzy crowd. If I wanted to snag a hot trophy, I wouldn't do it here. There are so many other places in the city that are so much more fun!! If you do go, here's a tip. Don't check your coat. It took me like 20 minutes to get it back when I was ready to leave. That's about 18 minutes too long...

Pros: Good marketing to make a drab place seem cool

Cons: Bars in brooklyn have more pizazz then this palce
