On top of that, the cover charge is either free or cheap, so generally you don't have to worry about paying a high cover. 80s night on Sundays and 90s night on Thursdays are definitely the most popular. It's fun to jam out to all of your old favorite hits, whether it be dance, pop, rock, or old school, and pull out all of your corny dance moves. The screen plays old TV shows and music videos while you dance, and you may even get some bubbles blown from the ceiling. The drinks are also good and completely affordable so it's an all-around great time without having to get all dolled up or spend and arm and a leg.

Just a few reasons why I like Barrymore's. The line moves quickly and the cover, if any, is cheap. You then walk up a sweeping staircase and into an enormous concert venue, being used as an epic nightclub. I recently went on an 90s night and was surprised to hear barely any 90s. I suppose it depends on the DJ that night and regardless, the dance floor was packed. So was the stage where both guys and girls can dance it out! *Not sure if it's every single Thursday but on this one, $3 drinks! The glory of it all is that anything goes. You can dress up, dress down, dress as your fave 80s or 90s star, nobody cares. I rolled up in cut-off jean shorts, a tank top and gladiators and no one had a thing to say about it. Everyone's too busy dancing/drinking/having great times!

The staff were friendly and made very good drinks. The bands were good and loud. Definitely a chill place to hang out, with some cool artwork strewn about. They also have pool tables on non live show nights :). I'll definitely add this to my bar crawl list. Definitely a dingy metal head kind of place and that's said with love! If you want upscale and snobby, Definitely not for you lol.

We sat up on the bar so we got a front row seat to all the magic. I was super impressed when the bartenders told us they kind of shoot from the hip for all their drinks in that they don't test it prior! They'll make small adjustments usually for acidity or sweetness but otherwise, you're basically experimenting alongside with them if it's on a recent menu change! My favorite drink of the night was the drink inspired by green curry. First and foremost, I was so confused when it came out clear! But when you took a sniff, you get the fresh scent of basil with some kaffir lime. On first taste, you also pick up some creaminess with the herbaceous notes which really makes it reminiscent of green curry - but it wasn't?! It was confusing, in a good way. My second favorite (of three) was the fruit loops infused drink. It paid homage to childhood Saturday mornings perfectly with the fruit loops whipped topping and the fruity cocktail underneath. It was a fun and lighthearted drink! My third was a drink featuring honeydew. It's such an underrated flavor because it's so hard to find a GOOD honeydew. In similar fashion, this drink also fell a bit short in the floral, sweet honeydew flavor and the cucumber flavor overpowered the drink. Having said that, the cucumber was really refreshing on such a humid day! All in all, loved the concept, loved the experimenting, and really enjoyed the vibes!

We got the King's ransom, Them's the breaks and Petty Theft. King's ransom came in an adorable pig shaped glass and had a fruity yet very smokey flavour. Them's the breaks was also lovely with some familiar fruity strawberry sweetness and a very interesting Merlot pink salt. Last but not least, Petty Theft was our favourite of the night with familiar SE Asian flavours and the nitrogen meringue experience which you pop in your mouth before sipping the drink. This one was $24 since it's a cocktail with a 72 hour process. This is a great spot if you love trying new drinks. The service is friendly, the music is on point and the overall ambience is perfect for a night out. They also take reservations - I recommend the bar seat.

And that's what Jabberwocky is. An unorthodox and random speakeasy, but it all fits with elegance and excitement. I walked in confused going up those stairs in Union, but I left with a refreshing view on custom cocktails. My friend and I bounced around on that small but diverse menu. I jumped on the Stirr'd Aiquiri and the Bee's Knees. The presentation and taste of the latter blew me away with its use of a beeswax-gin blend. The texture really stuck out when sipping and the lavender cordial was refreshing. It's like I'm a worker bee having a drink after a long day of pollenating! I'm definitely craving another round. The bartenders were absolutely amazing with their demeanor, attentiveness, speed, and transparency of their craft cocktails. Conversations with them makes the night fly right by. And if you're a good person and you play your cards right, they can put you on the wait list for another secret spot...

WOW what a horrible experience....i mean disgusting literally!!!…read moreI went into my neighborhood pub to which i haven't been in about 2 years or so.. work and away and life. I like to go there to listen to live music on occasion as they have open mic on Saturday nights and it gets me to relax. This time however it was realty different; I noticed that the bartender who is also the cook and the server was looking at me in a really bad way as if she didn't want to serve me at all. She made sure i saw her disgust and that she didn't want me there....I thought i would order food and make conversation and try to enjoy the atmosphere. She was cold very abrasive and almost rude so i was extremely polite and kind to try to get on her good side..I have been in the service industry since i was 13 and i know customer service is the main thing and maybe she had a bad day. But no matter how hard I tried she got colder and made me feel really weird. when i asked her for the menu she almost got really upset and coldly said 4 words " We Only have wings" ok, I will order wings and I did. the wings were great just the way I like them and they looked great so I took a picture of them...she looked at me weirdly like she could have shot me if she had a gun....I always take pictures of my food in restaurants as I am a retired chef.. then I heard her say she also has cheese fried sticks and zucchini I think. I ordered the fried mazz sticks and they were okay but a bit on the salty side..the pre-made commercial frozen type that comes in a box....By this time this person has made me feel so unwelcomed and and uncomfortable that i turned on my phone voice recorder i saw the looks she was giving me and i felt it coming....for no reason that I could think of other then i think this person is really a racist (I look Lebanese).... The she came and told me that all the customers we complaining that i was video taping ... and they complained to her. I was tghere and only 4 people at the bar and no one complained and i told her and showed her that i was taking a picture of my food and I showed her my phone pictures and that there are no videos but she got more upset.....good thing I had already started recording.... she really didn't want me there at all. now it was clear. This is a real racist disgusting person who has no idea that good customer service and being polite and humble is what makes a good business; and a good human being. she started to get so aggravated and loud and embarrassed me in from of everyone and i told her... what she is doing for no reason at all is because i think she is a racist I saw no other reason for it.... none. I was a polite kind gentleman and good customer. then she kicked me out of the bar... She said i want you to leave now....Good thing I have it all recorded.... What a pub she never be.....is exactly what this person did she said her name is Amanda but at this point i don't believe any ]thing she says... What a shame our society is becoming so horrible from people like that. I had the wings an order of mozzarella fried sticks and 3 beers... What's really even worse is that she seemed so proud of her behaviour !!!
