More to it than meets the eye.
When you first walk in, it's…read morea teeny tiny place. Then you walk around the corner and your suddenly up on a balcony with a huge floor (with its own bar in there). We went there with low expectations. The place turned out to be great.
They had a superb 80s band playing some great hits for the night. The waitresses were also in top of their game and keep the caprinhas flowing.
Their 'system' was a bit weird. When you enter they require to see your ID. They then enter you into a system and assign you a swipe card. You need the swipe card to buy things. No cash is exchanged until you are leaving the bar.
At that point you go to a cashier. Everyone must hand I their card and pay the fee (pro tip: if you are a couple, put some drinks on each card, as otherwise you will be stuck with an admission fee on the zero balance card), then you get a token to leave, which is carefully examined by the bouncers.
Strange, but pleasantly surprised by the night.
