We showed up around midnight and the place was packed. We had to wait a few minutes to get in, but that?s to be expected arriving as late as we did.

Inside: Nice atmosphere, dim lighting, candles all around, couches arranged in groups and some standing space, mostly near the bar.

Gender Ratio: Definitely more girls than guys.

Dress Code: Everyone was dressed trendy, but not decked out at all - Nice Jeans and a Nice Shirt, shoes or trendy sneakers are also fine.

Besides the exotic martini menu (including Godiva chocolate, Apple, Kama Sutra, and various other martinis, all excellent), there?s mixed drinks (all strong - no skimping on the liquor here) and beer, along with various food to eat as you sit and chat with your crew. I have to recommend the fried calamari, we definitely enjoyed that. Others sitting near us ordered strawberries and cream, which gives you an idea of the variety of food.

The music being played ranged from R&B to Hip-Hop to Reggae to Techno/Ambient, also showing a nice variety. Overall, this was definitely a chill place to go have a few drinks with some friends or a significant other, as it's not a loud sloppy bar with drunken people staggering around the dance floor (there is no dance floor). It stayed pretty crowded until around 3am, when the couches weren't all taken and just a few groups of people remained. Definitely a good place to start your night, or stay for a while and just talk.
