They were holding a concert kind of next door (via Sister's mean door), we didn't know the band we just stayed at the bar/arcade area. Even though we were there, we were still able to hear them. They played very nice. Since we were full, we just got a couple of drinks. The prices for the drinks were affordable, yet very well made. The staff seems friendly. The lady at the bar made a drink for me with rum, because the item I originally wanted from the menu was out. Don't know the name, but it was delicious. It was nice to sit wherever we wanted, have nice cocktails, and listen to music while enjoying watching things happening around us.

More folks trickled in while we enjoyed our first drinks, and by midnight the whole room was lively. We appreciated the bartender's attention when it wasn't busy. He walked us through the menu, making recommendations and steering me away from an allergen (pineapple). The menu includes a page of craft cocktails for $16 each, which seems reasonable since the place is rather classy and they use quality ingredients. We ended up trying several menu items, then asked the bartender what he really likes to make; we ended up with a special old-fashioned and the best margarita I've ever tasted. We were also given a small tray of snacks--a few nuts, olives, and chips--which I believe was complimentary. Even when it got busy later, the staff kept up and took care of everyone. The atmosphere is nice but welcoming; we were dressed casually after a day of sightseeing but didn't feel out of place. We found street parking easily (around the corner on Bryn Mawr). It's a fun neighborhood too; we came back the next day to check out the shops and such. Check it out!

This was probably my favorite cocktail I tried in town- fun, unique and tasty. The space itself is…read morepretty, and very instagrammable- so much so there was some kind of a photoshoot going on while we were there which was awkward. Not sure if that's something they schedule to happen during business hours or if the folks just showed up and did it. Someone came in with the photoshoot folks and swapped over the background display on the back wall and turned on laser lights and the vibe became weirdly clubby for a chill early night spot. Besides these quirks, a fun spot for out of towners to stop in for, chat, get a tasty drink and recommendations for other fun stops.

Long story short as I was scrolling through the feed on that blue app I saw an ad for a horror themed circus that promised extra fright. Curiously I pondered at the date and thought why the heck not. Then as I looked at the website I discovered it was being hosted right at the Kimo. The light bulb in my head clicked on and I thought let me see if a friend wants to join so I can make a better decision. Needless to say I waited to buy a ticket. Why you ask? Well Ill be honest I wasn't quite sure at the time. Then fast forward to last weekend and the same ad appeared with a beautiful promotion setting a price I just couldn't refuse. I just knew I had to go. My friend canceled on me but that was ok because when I stepped through those door it was a refreshing experience. I couldn't help but get lost in its great grandeur. As I entered the seating area I looked around and the vibe had me so excited. The show was phenomenal. I had a really great time. I'm so glad I went. Not only did I get to see the inside of this place for the first time but I got to experience a show here which made it so much more special. I look forward to returning for the next show here!
