The patio outside was really cute and cozy, the various seating areas is really great because you get a different feel from different angles. Our server recommended a Mexican lager.. it was SO GOOD! Try the lager!! My only gripe, the downtempo music changed to club music around 12am and got much louder. My date and I had to raise our voices to continue our conversation, we wanted to take our drinks outside but were told the patio closes at 11 :( We got lucky as the crowd was really thin but most weekends our server said it gets packed.. it's such a small place, I can't imagine what it would be like with 100 people inside!!

Yes, it's hot outside but c'mon, will the entire clientale die within 30 seconds of heatstroke? Fine, no worries, let it pass, walk in just wanting to grab a quick drink at the bar, AGAIN, accosted by the hostess that DEMANDS that I go back to her command center to talk to her, whereupon she really happily informs me that I can't even stand at the bar to have a drink and she would reluctantly put me on the bar waiting list which would be a minimum of one and a half hours... to grab a drink at the bar. tldr; AVOID unless of course, you love being judged at a low rent tiki bar...

The neon lights, ambiance, and overall vibe inside are so good. I went with friends on a night they had a live band, and that was definitely the highlight. It's such a cool spot to discover up and coming Richmond artists in a really fun and intimate setting. Even when it started sprinkling outside, we stayed and still had the best time. The beef sliders were great, the service was super friendly, and both the indoor and outdoor seating have their own vibe. Definitely excited to come back this summer.

Felt a little like a DC rooftop and a little older of a crowd for downtown, but a nice difference than the cluby and younger vibe that you get around Scotts.

My boyfriend wanted to have a smoke, so he stepped outside briefly. Security would not let him back in, even after he showed his wristband. Security was all-around RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL, and prejudice towards my bf (he is white and I am black). After refusing to let my bf back in the club, the black security bouncer let my black friend back in with no problem. Absolutely disgraceful service. Ashamed that people have to act that way towards paying guests. Never coming back!

Her set started at 10pm. We were probably there from 10:30pm-1am. The bouncer was incredibly sweet and checked our IDs at the door. We walked up a flight of stairs to get to the lounge. From my understanding, this lounge is open on Fridays and Saturdays only so far. Tickets for the show we were going for were $7. We didn't pay at the door, they put the $7 ticket on our drink tab. It was pretty packed, but the three of us were able to find a seat. It took a while to order drinks, but it feels like they're still figuring the best system out. My friend and I ordered the hibiscus spritz which was incredible. It was such a huge and delicious serving. I highly recommend ordering this. Our other friend got a regular old fashioned that she enjoyed. Do know with the music, it gets a bit loud so you end up screaming at each other. It was really good music so it was totally fine. At some points people made the tiny elevated section where the DJ was a dance floor. While this isn't a dance spot, there is a tiny space to dance. There is lots of seating available here, so even though it was crowded, it was never shoulder to shoulder packed (unless you tried to dance). The decor is unique with exposed brick and hieroglyphics matching the Egyptian restaurant below. I'm excited to return to try more delicious cocktails from their menu and see other DJs.

The charcuterie board we ordered was excellent and a highlight of the night. The location is also great for nightlife. That said, the drinks didn't quite hit the mark for me, and the service was inconsistent. We were told guests are expected to be quiet during the sets, yet another group was talking loudly and nothing was addressed, which felt a bit uneven.

I opted for the Caribbean Queen, which was fresh, vibrant, and beautifully balanced with just the right touch of a delightful kick. Jasper's offered exactly the kind of atmosphere we were looking for--elegant, intimate, and inviting.
