This bar is a joke...unless you want to wait in line forever and be overcharged. My boyfriend and I went here and were skipped over several times when trying to order a drink at the front bar. We were charged for shots that we did not purchase. They corrected our check for us, but the bartenders were very rude, like we were inconveniencing them by asking them to do their job. We did not leave a tip after the bad experience we had here, but they proceeded to tip themselves anyway by adding one onto the check. Im pretty sure that is illegal or some kind of fraud. We tried to call the place several times and nobody answered the phone. I will never get the time back that I wasted at this place or the money.

We were having a good time until the really attractive bartender cared more about the people she knew then servicing us. Normally I wouldnt care too much but it seriously took us an honest 8 minutes to get a drink and just as long to close out when we were done with our tab. It took just as long closing out because she seemed to want to send text messages instead of helping us out and it wasnt even busy in there, probably 20-25 people. The gratuity was still sufficient despite the lack of service. I guess places just hire blondes for their good looks not their food and beverage capability.

Jam packed with people who, when asked, didnt know what made this place popular. If you are a zombie, you would starve in this bar, as it is populated by the brain-dead of our population. No music, that I could hear, and the tab was pricy. Flashing lights, and retardation fill this place on a Friday night. Also, there is a strict dress code, but ladies dont you worry; flash a smile, or flirt with the bouncer, and you can come in wearing next to nothing. All and all, worst place to go on a friday night if you have any self-respect.

Just like some of the other people were saying, the female manager, when called out on her actions, just throws people out. . But she let them buy drinks first, and they didnt even get to drink them, then charged them for an absurd amount of drinks. First time Ive seen an actually racist establishment on King street.Additionally, I never write reviews unless a place really suck or they are above and beyond

Horrible. We waited in line for 40 minutes and watched as the bouncer let his friends skip the line. The bouncers are also extremely rude. Also, the female bartenders seem to only serve the male customers and while the whole bar is surround they decided to have a 5 minute conversation without serving anyone. I understand it gets very busy but that was ridiculous.

The overweight girl bartender spit in our shots and threw 4 of our beers on the floor for no apparent reason. And then when we called her out, she had us thrown out. Turns out she is the manager, which is incredibly concerning. With her at the helm, that bar doesnt have a prayer of surviving.

I can state, " it was a great time, until the girlfriend of the bouncer in the back courtyard wanted a spot at the table." Then things got nasty. People got thrown out without reason. Thankfully, one of the bouncers; whomever worked the door, got our belongings.

I dont know why people like this place so much? You wait in like for at least 30 minutes to go in to a crowded bad with entitled college aged people. Drinks are expensive and the bouncers are not nice at all. Great place for people watching though!

Bartenders were nice. I just dont like the crowd. Packed with just college students with low social skills and high intensified dramas. Please go somewhere else if youre looking forward a good time as an adult.

always has live music, never has a cover. 3 bars to help with serving the crowd. its great if some people want to dance, some people want to watch football and some people just dont want to pay a cover.

If you like being hotboxed with 100s of frat bros and bartenders that give you the finger for not tipping for a bottled beer this is the place for you.
