The menu this time is theme park theme... again, a fun concept but not well executed. Pretty overwhelming, especially with the bartenders explaining the menu to us twice with the same spiel there is too much to look at it makes it difficult to pay attention to the drinks. I really did not love my drink (starbreaker?) you could only taste the lychee The bartenders not a vibe, it was not that comfortable to sit at the bar. They now serve food, hotdogs... which do NOT match the vibe at all, so that was interesting that their only food (other than the free popcorn) is not hot dogs..

They have a bunch of different weekly things that go on here such as movie nights and so on. This is not a bar where guys can be dude bros this is definitely where the girls come to gossip and have little snacks and I love everything about that. The only men I saw here were with women and I think that was 3 including mine ABSOLUTELY coming back with friends and ordering a bunch of appetizers and drinks everything here looks as good as it tastes and the drinks are strong! The staff here is super sweet and just lovely

They've been here 2.5 years and from my first experience , they are absolutely crushing it. Dim lighting, beautiful bar design in a smaller space, and 90's-2000's hip hop was the perfect mix for a chill Friday night. Niaget took care of us at the bar (please forgive me if I got the spelling wrong!) and she is clearly a well trained mixologist. Cocktail menu is unique and the ingredients might seem a little far out, but trust the process. The drink pictured below was a bourbon-based (Old Forrester) custom cocktail that Niaget threw together. Hints of pineapple & mint mixed with my favorite brand bourbon made this an honest treat. I will be tossing this cocktail bar onto my favorites list and can't wait to go back.

I thought it was a dessert spot so we went here after dinner but the menu has milkshakes, spiked milkshakes, coffee, tea, cocktails, pretzels, funnel cake, lemon tart, popcorn, pizza, cotton candy, etc... like just random stuff really. I'm guessing I'm not the target customer so I just "dont get it". We got a milkshake which came topped with a week old wal-mart grade glazed donut and three small cubes of cheesecake from the ChefStore. It wasn't the best milkshake I've ever had but it was a milkshake so it was definitely "ok". I likely wouldn't recommend the spot unless you've got 30+ minutes to kill before getting your milkshake bc it takes foreverrrrrrrrrr to come out, just sayin.

This is a review for brunch on Saturday, July 6, 2024. I was in town visiting my family, and I…read morepicked this venue to go to Brunch. When we arrived, I liked that the windows were tinted, and you couldn't see inside. When we arrived inside, I informed them that I was there for brunch for a party of 7. I made an rsvp on Eventbrite. We were seated immediately. Our server's name was Dallas. She gave us the brunch menu. The options were limited. There were 5 entrees, 4 appetizers, and some sides. This venue was newly opened a couple of weeks ago and black owned, so we decided to stay. I ordered a prosecco, and it tasted flat, so I switched to a Taste Berry cocktail. The cocktails were delicious, and I had several. The food did take a while to come out, and all the food didn't come out all at once. I ordered the taste chops & potatoes. The lamp chops were well seasoned and tasty. The dish overall was excellent, and I would order it again. Some of the other dishes ordered in my party were the creole style shrimp & grits and the salmon croquettes & grits. They enjoyed the food. The only thing that I informed wasn't great was the waffles that were ordered from the sides menu. There was a DJ, and he really did a great job playing a variety of music. Our Server Dallas was very attentive. I loved the interior of the venue, the floors, the bar area, excellent interior decorating. It was a great vibe, and I had a great time. I plan to visit again in the future while visiting again.

But to make the customer pay for it is ludicrous. We got one drink and the bill was $63 for 2 drinks. Per usual the service wasn't exceptional so in my opinion they've got nothing on the neighborhood Tropix. Make so people can afford to be at your location.

It has an upscale yet relaxed ambience that will remind you of Bridgerton with its royal flair. We went in the evening so the lounge was very dim, which was expected. The staff was very friendly, accommodating, and attentive. No complaints there.

I've been to a lot of indoor and outdoor venues in NYC and I was not expecting a super pleasant…read moreexperience when I came. My wife and I were very surprised to be proven wrong. We came for a house music show on a Saturday night, on the earlier side to check everything out. The bouncer and security staff were super nice - they were hospitable to everyone in the line as far as I could tell. They didn't really pad us down but we weren't wearing any baggy or loose clothes or had bags with us. I assume security eyeballs guests and makes situational calls. The inside was spacious and clean. The bathrooms were always attended to. The floor was a bit sticky initially but i think that was fixed before crowds rolled in. When some people spilled beer, the staff immediately came and cleaned. We felt safe with security staff in eyeshot. The music reproduction quality is OK; I think the crowd has a tendency to talk loudly and the volume should be balanced against that, but for the headliner, everything sounded great. Could use more emphasis on higher than bass frequency, but I'll take a solid bassline anyday. I did not feel the need to wear earplugs like some NY venues, probably due to the smaller size of this one. The lights are awesome, if a bit on the intense side since they are just above the stage, aimed at the floor. I would wear sunglasses next time to give my eyes a break. The bartenders were quick and attentive. One issue: they tried to swipe my chip-cards to open tabs (we tried a couple) and those were blocked by our banks for security purposes. Those cards should be chipped for payment gateway acceptance - hopefully the point of sale can support that. Closing each tab everytime worked fine, though, and the bartender did not embarrass us with the decline card response - we noticed others at the bar had the same issues. The outdoor space is super nice. Everyone was dressed casual but clean - and no one smelled bad or was unfriendly/aggressive. We will definitely continue coming back here for performers we like - please keep bringing in great house and techno producers!
