Where else can you eat midnight bagels to accompany your vodka soda? Where else can you get overly frustrated at the "get the circle onto the post" game outside? The answer is NOWHERE. Lux has a special vibe about it that is welcoming, inclusive, divey and strange all at the same time. The South Wedge location is perfect and there's usually ample street parking if you're DD-ing or planning to leave your car. I can't wait to get back here post-pandemic and enjoy a game with friends and a seat out on the patio.

Edited a minute ago New…read moreUpon entering the establishment, the security guard took our IDs and he was holding a high-alcohol content beer, Hayburner, in one hand, and holding our ID's with the other. He seemed angry when my brother asked if our ID's had to be scanned, and really seemed to snap at my brother, but we shrugged it off and he scanned them and we went on with our night. Throughout the night, the security guard continued drinking these Hayburners. My brother and I were enjoying our evening, had not once had any issue with another patron or the bar, and we were in mid-conversation about piano, when I felt the guard standing behind me. He was just standing behind me, staring my brother down. It was a scary feeling. My brother, who has worked in the industry for 20 years, asked if everything was okay. The security guard approached my brother and started pushing him saying "Everything is okay with me is everything okay with you??" And my brother was walking backwards trying to de-escalate this seemingly intoxicated security guard. That's when I watched him grab my brother by both shoulders and push him backwards across the entire length of the bar, knocking him into people and objects, eventually pushing him out of the door. He even grabbed another guy and shoved him so hard against the wall that that guys beer went flying and he had purple and blue bruises from his grab. I desperately tried for the other woman security guard to understand he had just been assaulted and had done nothing wrong. She seemed to nod like she had seen this before, but wasn't going to do anything about it. My sister and I were astounded at the actions of this man. That's when he shoved me, a mid thirties woman not even half his size. Even after we were walking away from the bar, this security guard stood outside yelling towards us that he, direct quote, was going to "break our f***ng necks". This is negligence on the bar's behalf, for allowing an intoxicated security guard to a$$ault patrons. We immediately filed a police report, and they requested the video footage from the bar. The bar refused to provide any of the footage. Usually, bars who have nothing to hide are quick to comply- which was very telling in this case. We were never once asked to leave. We were just blind-sighted. I immediately called the bar after the incident and one of the owners, Amanda, who was tending the bar and witnessed the entire thing, cheerfully answered the phone. She had served my brother with no issue. I let her know her security guard had just assaulted us, and she said "ok?" And nothing further. This place does not give a rip about anyone's safety, especially not women's. It has been weeks and I'm still recovering from the pain of this night. Beware for your safety, women. I did what I could, but their actions will likely result in someone getting seriously hurt.

On a brighter note: my brother absolutely crushed it on the mic earlier that night.

Nice red hue, too. Wait ... "Berry Man"-ilow? Not sure of the intended implications. It seems to get sweeter as it warms up. I still don't get the name. Wachusett Blueberry Ale was a less-tart and more malty brew. This to us was more beer that fruit-punch. So one of liked the first, and the other liked this. There were maybe a dozen more drafts to choose from. The bar was pleasant, bright, and relaxing.

This is very difficult for me ... I've been coming here…read moresince the mid 90's and actually worked here for a spell During college at Canisius in the late 90's. I adore Joe Marcella, and despite(me) being almost 50 now, he remembered me, and made me feel like a VIP, and put me at the front of the line. I love the youth and diversity, and had a wonderful night, felt totally my at home, but then felt sudden and bewildering betrayal. I'm just going to say I got taken advantage of by some of the unofficial staff. Please take into account I went without my partner, but came ready to dance and bleed $$$. I tipped minimum $11.00 per $9.00 drink, tried to give the bouncer an Extra $20, but I think he was legit police and denied taking it out of duty. I tipped the girl who charges the cover, double the cover, and was quick to buy random people drinks with no motive aside from friendliness. ANYHOW, I will not elaborate deeply in a public forum, but I was essentially robbed, went to staff for help, and the help sided with the perpetrators, and I was told to exit the premise immediately. It was beyond comprehension how the nefarious group actually seemed to believe their own lies. Albeit it comes with practice, they really "ACTED," as though they believed what they were telling Me. As I was essentially sober, I was meek and compliant, with the exception of spouting to one of the doorman, "Someone is going to regret this. Prior to getting into the medical profession I was in hospitality for over Two decades, and am very sensitive to a clients needs or mood, as well as the stress the staff feels. However, perhaps due to my professional capacity, I felt like I was trying harder to be polite and engage the staff, than they cared to try with me(granted they are sooo darn young). Perhaps, going from being a somewhat attractive dancer, to a barely noticed old man of 49, I might just not be worth chatting up anymore, or perhaps, the younger generation is more socially aloof in general. Anyhow, For many straight or Gay patrons Marcella always symbolized inclusive, unconditional acceptance and safety. Partly, it's difficult to go from being especially adored in my youth, to something of a non entity(at least in my mind) due to being older. My sensitivities aside, what had been yet another Magical Marcella evening, became an almost insurmountable emotional nightmare...... A bizarre almost twilight zone scenario.....that at the very least appeared to illuminate a cohesive union between the official security staff and a select group of hustlers angling their nefarious ends. Long story short, I got fleeced for almost $80.00, and was then told to leave, by the "Official," staff. So robbed, ignored cries for help from staff,and the guilty parties really seemed to revel in successfully conning me, and to add insult To injury, the perpetrators got To enjoy me being kicked out of the bar....while they enjoyed my property. More than anything I felt hurt....the irony is the thieves screwed themselves? I can be a fearsome enemy, but an even more intense friend.... For mere scraps they lost a potential ally/friend.... ironically, what they took was only about a tenth of what they could have yielded as my friend... It's so appallingly the apparent pleasure people get from a well executed con.....even if it's a fraction of what they could have received honestly My take away is that forgiveness, after the anger, if it can't be stopped, is crucial toward healing.

We had a nice little room toward the back that gave us some privacy, and the media/audio worked seamlessly, which, when you're trying to do a presentation over dinner, is basically a miracle. Our server was attentive and took great care of us all night. My gripes? The $4 bread service fee. We ordered plenty of appetizers and absolutely did not need the bread. And $16 for a house or Caesar salad? Definitely overpriced. My salad consisted of grape tomatoes, shredded carrots, a few chickpeas and some shredded Parmesan. For $16, I expected a whole lot more, it was nowhere near worth the price. Now, onto the good... There were so many pizzas that sounded good that making a decision was harder than it needed to be. We decided on the Michael as a group. Those caramelized onions brought SO much flavor. We also tried the prosciutto and melon special, which was a huge hit with one of our gluten-free guests. The zucchini fries were perfectly crispy, and the dipping sauce had just the right little kick. I could have kept eating those. Then came the filet mignon, which my partner and I basically inhaled. It came with roasted crispy red potatoes and a mix of green and red peppers, and everything was seasoned really well. One of the guests said the duck breast was absolutely delicious. I couldn't find the dessert menu online beforehand, which was a little disappointing because I like to mentally prepare for dessert. I ended up going with the brookie because cookies + brownies = obviously the correct answer. I skipped the chocolate and caramel sauces and swapped vanilla ice cream with pistachio gelato. Yum!! I also grabbed my daughter the seasonal cheesecake with the mixed berry topping, and she inhaled it when I got home. Overall, this was a fantastic spot for a work dinner. Great food, attentive service, a comfortable private space, and the presentation went off without a hitch. Aside from my $4 bread fee and overpriced salads, I have very little to complain about.
