Ive been there more times than I can count, which says something in itself. The tone, vibe, and mood depends entirely when you go there. In the daytime, it has a more of a bar atmosphere to it (meaning, you can watch whats on the flat screen, relax, and listen to music at normal volume and actually talk to people there if you so choose. Theyre a pleasant lot.) The bartenders are cheerful, entertaining, and competent no matter what kind of mixed drink you can make up. In the late evening, when there are DJs, its a very loud time. No joke, but maybe Im just getting old (Im in my 30s after all!) The bartenders are quick with your drink, but thats about it (David and Josh are boring, sorry.) But your there for the music anyway so who cares. Its a mix of the bartenders, clientele, and what kind of event is happening that makes the experience. Itll either be exactly what your looking for, or an experience to pass on. If you had the latter, try it again on different day or time, it makes all the difference! Oh, on some event nights, there is a bouncer lady at the door, and she IS scary. Pay your cover lol! The one thing I wish they would offer that they dont is free WIFI, as cell signal is spotty at best. Youd think they would for the app crowd at least. You know the ones (wink wink, say no more:) I hope this review is at least somewhat constructive and helpful to people out there. Hope to see you there!

The bartender was ripping me off charging $8.00 for smaller drinks he charged other people $6.00 for. When he was told about it he got an attitude and didnt even offer tok fix it or a free drink, shot or anything. Nobody was dancing but the dj wouldnt play anything different. When he was asked to play something he said "we dont play that kind of stuff here" ok. Sorry. Needless to say I will never return. Id rather drive all the way to Madison. UPDATE- Year later I receive a rude message from the owner and others to not come because of my experience there. No worries you couldnt pay me to step back into that crap hole! But how rude and unprofessional! Learn to take criticism when youre a business owner and again nothing was mention to rectify the situation just plain rudeness! Dont waste your time or money. Not impressed by this behavior!!

Horrible music, and a dead dance floor. The place USED to be packed wall to wall with people dancing. They used to play the best music around. Now its weird music that you cant dance to and never heard of. The worst djs are there and dont let you request a song. Can they not take a hint by the dead dance floor and no business that there djs suck? People would complain left and right about the music and no one did a thing. So now the place is a ghost town.

Went for a show with some friends. The bar is bigger and badder than I expected. The show was pretty fun, drinks were good, service was great. I just wish more people cut loose on the dance floor afterwards!
