They only had outdoor seating but there are misters and fans so it was fine. The music was 10/10 rap and hip hop throwbacks and newer songs. Definitely a vibe. Saw people out for girls night, dates, and friend groups. Everyone was having a great time and just having fun. Didn't try any food, but the hookah itself was yummy and lasted awhile. We got an ice hose which died out quickly since we were outside but it's okay. The server was friendly and they came around to check on the coals often, we didn't have to flag anyone down. This place also has bottled water, for fellow water snobs in the area :)

We had an absolutely awesome time bowling here! The lanes and the vibe were fantastic. Service was…read moregreat! We also ordered the popcorn chicken, and it was great--had some kind of bang bang sauce in it, yummy! It was oddly hot not sure why they had the doors open but it got too hot we had to stop bowling. Unfortunately, the drink was a massive letdown. I ordered the Mai Tai, which came pre-batched on tap. It was incredibly sweet--almost syrup-like--and lacked any balance. To make matters worse, it was served in a flimsy takeout container cup that leaked everywhere, and the garnish was just a sad, old piece of basil. For a premium spot, you expect a properly balanced drink and a cup that doesn't leak. Go for the awesome bowling and the popcorn chicken, but maybe stick to a beer or a simple pour until they fix their cocktail execution!

I hope all staff get recognized who were working on 5/10/26! They were all so amazing and went above and beyond with our large group ages ranging from infant to adult! Another plus was happy hour menu on a Sunday! We all indulged in some awesome sushi and I just loved the spicy mayo! My kids enjoyed popcorn chicken and fries! The experience made my milestone birthday amazing and I really can't thank you all Cham Pang Lanes enough! Only issue would be parking but that is to be expected when you are near a city! We lucked out on parking a few blocks down. :)

The service was attentive, the…read morefood was good, and we appreciated being able to choose the music, which made the atmosphere enjoyable. That's why we kept coming back, we visited over 20 times because we genuinely liked the place. Unfortunately, over time the experience changed. As the staff changed, so did the level of customer service. The consistency just wasn't there. Some visits were enjoyable, while others felt disorganized, and the staff sometimes came across as argumentative rather than customer-focused. The visit that ended it for us involved a new server who insisted we leave a credit card to keep on file. In more than 20 previous visits, we had never once been asked to do that. We politely explained that this had never been the policy during any of our prior visits and declined. After that conversation, the server essentially stopped serving us. She ignored our table, relied on other employees to assist us, and even made us wait to pay because she refused to help. It made us feel unwelcome and as though our business no longer mattered. We understand that businesses can update their policies, but those changes should be communicated respectfully and enforced consistently. If the policy had truly changed, a simple explanation would have gone a long way. Instead, we were treated differently because we asked questions. It's unfortunate because we really enjoyed this place in the beginning. However, one negative experience can outweigh many positive ones, especially when it leaves you feeling unwelcome. We won't be returning, and we hope management takes customer service and consistency seriously so future guests have a better experience.

I mean "dive bar" as an absolute compliment... let's start there…read more I had been eyeing Ain't Nick's for a while and finally worked up the gumption to wander in and check it out because I heard the magic words: karaoke every night. As a karaoke lover, obviously I had to investigate. First impression? Bigger and nicer inside than I expected! Two pool tables right when you walk in (and rumor has it they're only $1.25 a game... hello 90s, nice to see inflation apparently skipped pool ), plenty of seating, tables around the bar, and just a solid neighborhood bar setup. The bar itself was pretty full when I arrived, and the only open seat was directly in front of the taps (not exactly my chosen throne), so I figured I'd grab a table. Except before I even got that far, someone struck up a conversation: "First time here?" And somehow within minutes I had new friends. Him and his girl were genuinely the sweetest, and that turned into meeting even more people. The vibe was just easy... people actually talking to each other, introducing themselves, and being welcoming. The bartender was attentive and made a bomb Shirley Temple. One may have been approximately 73% grenadine, but honestly who doesn't need a full-blown sugar rush when karaoke is happening and the vibes are immaculate? The entertainment situation is also solid. Karaoke every night, trivia on at least one night (not sure which, but I'm told trivia kicks things off and then karaoke takes over), pool tables, and a patio area outside with games like giant Jenga, extra seating, and separate music playing. So if karaoke isn't your thing (who hurt you?) you can escape outside and still hang out. I didn't eat, but the food coming out looked GOOD. Not sad "we threw frozen stuff in a fryer and called it dinner" bar food, more like amped-up bar food. I also heard from multiple people that the food is legit, so clearly I need to investigate that next. Location-wise, it's probably an Uber spot for me and not somewhere I'm making a late-night solo trek home from, but I'm told Ubers are easy to grab. Overall? I walked in curious and left with my heart full. Good conversations, kind people, fun karaoke, and a way better night than I ever expected. I don't know if I'll become a regular, but when I get that urge to go "people out in the world," Ain't Nick's is officially on the list. My heart was tickled. And yes, that's the official rating system. Bonus points: I got carded, which as someone who is well past the legal drinking age but still approximately 14 years old at heart, absolutely made my night before it even started.

IF YOU WANT TO COME HERE FOR A WATCH PARTY READ THIS FIRST:…read morethis was my first visit here today. got here THREE hours before kickoff for MEX/ENG. i had a group of about 6 ppl. i made the mistake of leaving the establishment about an hour in to go to my car that was parked at a meter 3 minutes away. i came back and the bouncers stated that i had to pay $200 before i can come back in (this amount fluctuated depending on who was asking). so i asked if i could close out my tab of like $60 at the time and i'd simply just leave and not have to wait in line. it would be that simple. the bouncer(s) said yes we can close you out but i wouldn't be able to come in. (which was fine) and he said let me get the waitress for you. about 30 MINUTES later the waitress came out and got her device out and was manually ringing me up for everything i had ordered because she couldn't "find my tab" because my last name was "too common". i patiently waited for another HALF AN HOUR for her to "find my tab" and never came back. i waited and waited and then i finally asked the bouncer(s) for an update once again and they said "don't worry about it you're good". i politely said thank you but can i get a receipt. the bouncer said "bro your drinks are on the house what are you complaining about get out of here have a goodnight". turns out my $60 tab was over $150 and i have no proof (aside from the charge) because the bouncers said i was fine. i'm not worried about the reimbursement i just wanted to share this with everyone that wants to come here for a "watch party". this was not a race situation just bad management situation and the bouncers charging and pocketing money from ppl trying to come into a place where i had a tab open.

Much appreciated and welcome nostalgia for a middle class millenial, feels like a time and place we…read morewould never be able to recapture, but somehow it still exists at Pomeroy's. It hasn't changed much since the late 80's when it opened. Menu is VAST, lots of options - it's elevated American bar food. The burger is SNEAKY because it's actually a wine burger, and imo, better than Harvey's - especially the bun and structure of the burger. Another sneaky, must have item is the cheese steak; it's not a "Philly," but a middle American, likely midwestern, version of it elevated in all the right ways. When's the last time you had a white person style taco salad with yellow cheese, ground beef, Olives, tomato, sour cream, etc? Haven't seen that on a menu in years until I came here. Protect Pomeroy's at all costs.

The staff was knowledgeable and took the time to explain the menu, making the experience approachable even for a first-time visitor. I decided to try one of their signature kava beverages, and I was pleasantly surprised by how intriguing and complex the drink was. The flavor profile was unlike anything I had experienced before--earthy, bold, and distinctive in a way that felt both adventurous and refined. More importantly, the effects were exactly as described. As I enjoyed my drink, a gentle sense of relaxation gradually settled in, leaving me feeling calm, centered, and remarkably at ease without any sense of heaviness. What I appreciated most was how the experience encouraged mindfulness and connection. Lacuna offers something refreshingly different from a traditional coffee shop or cocktail lounge, creating an environment where conversation flows naturally and relaxation takes center stage. Whether you're curious about kava for the first time or already familiar with its calming properties, Lacuna Kava Bar is absolutely worth a visit. The combination of a welcoming atmosphere, knowledgeable staff, and a truly distinctive beverage experience makes it a standout destination. I left feeling refreshed, relaxed, and looking forward to my next visit.
