    Flint has a lot of bars- and this is one of them…read more For certain, it was a heck of a lot better back in the day when it was the Backroom. I went here all of the time as a college student when it was known as the Backroom and later I dropped in once in awhile when it was called Kelly's, until it was sold and became the Loft. Yep, it's a dive bar, always has been and always will be, but the really good old days of the dive bar experience here are sadly gone. As dive bars go, I've seen better and I've seen worse. In fact, if look up the phrase "dive bar," you will probably come across a picture of the Loft. You can't order food here, the "dance floor" is tiny, the music is sometimes good, sometimes not. Don't let me get started on the parking situation- it's terrible and you might as well make a mad dash to wherever you managed to park your car when you leave! It's actually laughable. Some of the cocktails are a bit overpriced for what you are getting (sometimes weak or improperly made), but service largely depends on if you are regular or friend of a friend. Random strangers probably tend to get the short end of the stick. I admit, I've gotten free drinks here before, but that's because the staff knows me. Rodney, the owner, is a great guy, but sometimes the bar runs out of essentials, like premium spirits and mixers. I wish the bar staff would just get it together and make certain that the bar is properly stocked to avoid having to order something alternative because they're out of the appropriate ingredients. Beer selection is just average, but they do carry Stella Artois, one of my favorites, so the Loft has that going for itself. While I don't particularly care for most of their cocktails (either too sweet or extremely tart- so much for a happy medium), the bartenders do make a good mojito and a decent old fashioned, though. My preferred cocktail is a whisky sour, which is pretty easy to make and the last few I ordered kinda sucked. They just didn't taste right, too tart. More often than not, I haven't cared for the vibe, the atmosphere, etc. There are just way too many barfly types hanging around drinking draft beer all night. Plus, I often run into an ex or two here and that's just bad mojo all around...

    I came here with a group of friends, and for a night we owned it. It has a neighborhood feel on a…read moreslow night, laid back, kinda like everyone knows you and you're the cool kid on the block rather than the drama queen. That's how I like it. We just bought round after round after round. They made our car bombs out of Bushmill's whiskey which was a huge plus! I love dive bars and I wouldn't call this one a dive exactly, but the atmosphere is definitely NOT one where you want to drink expensive specialty martinis and eat tapas while toting your designer bag around. It's more like the place that gets really cozy when you go there regularly. Torn jeans, comfy white T-shirt, your busted Cons. I definitely would go do some major chugging with my Flint town crew if I was back around there.

    This place is awesome! I was in town for a work trip and everyone I talked to recommended Xolo for…read moredinner. They did not disappoint. Walking in, this place has a very cool lounge type of vibe. Not a ton of tables, but it felt very comfortable and inviting. My colleague and I sat at the bar and were quickly greeted by the bartender, who was amazing. She recommended the Xolo Margarita to get started and it was delicious. For dinner, I ordered Elote (Mexican street corn), 1 Birria taco, 1 Al Pastor taco, and 1 carne asada taco (not pictured). The Elote was creamy, salty, spicy and sweet in all the best ways. The Birria (dipping taco) was super flavorful and the consume was just right. The Al pastor taco was the perfect balance of salty and sweet, thanks to the pineapple on it. The carne asada taco was good, but probably the most plain. This place was awesome and not overpriced. I paid just under $18 for all of my food, not including the margarita. If you happen to be in Flint, you need to stop in. I will be going back for sure.

    My friend and I were in Flint for a concert and wanted a place to eat nearby so we ended up at…read moreXolo's. It's also decorated really nicely for the holidays! We started with the mild salsa and guac which were really lacking in flavor, but street corn was delicious!! The chicken and shrimp tacos were both excellent and very filling. I didn't end up ordering a drink, but their margarita menu looked fantastic!

Reasonable admission prices for quality family-themed theatrical productions. I've attended a few plays here over the years and the production values are always high-quality. This is a must for anyone with young children. On occasion, the theatre department at UM-Flint requires its drama students to attend productions here (as well as at UM-Flint and Whiting as well) as part of a class. Another great asset in Flint's cultural center.
