A mixture of either old, sketchy, no sex appeal and rough around the edges. The dance floor was packed and the music was on point. There was some people that set up food in the back but it left a trail of an odor that was not appetizing. Drinks were ok at best but when I asked for a cup with ice it seemed to be an issue. Very off putting. Not quite sure what the issue was.... The bartender brought the manager over and I had to specify I wanted it for my beer. Yes, I'm a weirdo if I don't get a frosted glass, I'll take a cup with ice. The manager proceeds to ask me ; "So you want me to pour the beer into the cup with ice?" UMMM yes I don't mind pouring it my damn self but if it makes you more comfortable, knock yourself out. It truly didn't make a difference to me who poured it, I just wanted some damn ice to cool myself off! I'm not sure what type of sketchy and shady people they deal with but I am not the one. My boyfriend and I run a good tab on drinks, give me what I'm asking for and paying for! Meanwhile, I did not see just about any of the 30-40 people on the dance floor buy a drink. I then saw hookah's on a table and the price list. Unfortunately, they were not providing hookah service that night. So why have them out? Whewwww I love my house music community and love the Lincoln Park festival that is close to the bar but this past Sunday this bar and crowd missed the mark. The only redeeming factor was the DJ. I highly doubt I'd return unless it were to vibe out and dance to a DJ I reaaaaallly love.

If we ever go back to Newark (we may, we have friends over there, an we like shows), we will absolutely look for a night when Ayanna is bartending.

Seasoned well, lots of margarine sauce with fresh garlic. A little salty but a good amount for the price. My second order just a month apart was vastly different. The crabs came and that ammonia like smell hit me like a baseball to the face. Spending all my summers in Maryland,I recognize the smell of rotten crabs. It was potent. I was highly upset because how could you send this out?? You could literally kill someone like this! Throwing a mountain of garlic and old bay to mask that heavy ammonia scent due to expiration is a very dangerous game. I was refunded my money but that's honestly not the point here. It's pure dangerous to sell rotten seafood to folk. I looked on the app reviews and saw 2 others say the same months before me. Unforgivable.

This was like being at the loudest yet at least attended bar mitzvah ever! The music was blasting! The food was OK. The server, well, I don't know if she was new, but she didn't know very much. She brought me a cocktail menu, but didn't know what was in the cocktails. (she said she did when I asked, but then had to go ask someone probably because she didn't understand what I was asking because it was so loud.!) when I asked for a glass of water, she brought me a bottle. I told her that I meant I wanted a glass of tapwater and she said that they don't have that, they only have bottles. I asked if they charge for the bottles and she said no so I figured that was just the way they do it here. Imagine my surprise when there was a charge for the water on the Bill. The server spoke to the manager and got it taken off. The manager is the person who came over when it was time to pay, and I thanked her and explained what happened and she seemed very surprised that the server had told me there's no tapwater. Also, they build in an automatic 18% tip, which is a shame because I usually tip 20% but oh well.

What I did not appreciate was the additional service charge being applied to the bill. For example, if a shot is listed at $14, two shots should be $28 before taxes and other applicable charges. Instead, I was charged $32, which means an additional $4 was added through the service charge. I understand that establishments have operating costs and may choose to implement service charges, but I personally feel that these charges should be clearly explained and reasonable. Adding a service charge to everything can make the advertised prices feel misleading and significantly increase the final bill. Overall, the food was decent and the service was okay, but the additional charges were disappointing and, in my opinion, not worth it. I would encourage management to be more transparent about these fees and consider how they affect the customer's overall experience.

IF YOU ARE USING A CARD YOU HAVE TO TELL THEM PRIOR TO PAYMENT IF YOU WANT TO INCLUDE TIP. They do not have the option to do so after paying. Wild to me but, it is what it is. Music. 10/10. The main staple is House from the 80's-00's, R&B from the 70's - 90's, and a couple other genres but still a great mix. Hookah is available for purchase. Bar in the front is L - shaped. Ample space to sit and dance if the spirit so moves you. Drinks - Electronic measured pours. A negative for me but! If it helps control profits and diminish bad behavior, let it rock. After 10pm the front area closes and the back opens on certain nights (Sunday I stayed all night in the front) Much larger space and also a cover. Again, cash is king here. All things considered I can overlook some of my minor inconveniences because the totality of the experience is worth it. To Me, lol

Smaller spot, but you don't feel like you're on top of each other. It reminded me of a Village kinda spot.. very dark interior... but a whole vibe. Bathrooms were really clean.. nice bar in the back of the space. The only reason I will give it 4 is because even though the drinks were reasonably priced, the bartender wasn't making the best drinks... you could barely tell that there was any alcohol in them.. I had to order an extra shot just to make it taste good. I think she needed some help because she seemed sorta flustered in taking care of everyone. I would definitely return!!
