    Pretty good drink deals - the pitchers are cheaper than a pint during happy hour (everyday until 9pm and all day Sunday).
    Melanie O.

    The only positive reason I am rating this 2 stars is for the great happy hour specials. My boyfriend and I went here on a Friday night. They weren't busy, some people here but there were plenty of open tables and plenty of staff free. We sat for a good 10 minutes and no one came to our table. We asked for menus and someone who wasn't even working outside brought them to us and seemed frustrated doing so because she was busy and the waitress for outside should have brought them to us. We waited for another 7 minutes or so and still no service. However, said outdoor waitress was very clearly preoccupied with taking care of the table of 4 men that sat at the table right next to us. She went over to them at least 3-4 times, talked to them, got them drinks, ran cards, etc. in the time that we were waiting without any acknowledge to us at all. We were willing to wait and possibly order some drinks, but then looking at the menu they basically only sell burgers and had no veggie burger options. I was not about to order a plate of hummus or some other appetizer from their small selection for dinner. Would up leaving after close to 20 minutes of no service and probably would never go back, even for a great happy hour. Seemed like staff were focused on all the males in the place and paid no attention to anyone else - one example being the table described above but also based on other observations while I sat there with nothing to do whilst not being served for such a long time.

    Great new place! Super clean! The bartender Sean was very nice very Engaging. Smart now complimenting my ID at the bar ( Always a great move as a bartender) The food was Outstanding! The cook came out a hand delivered it to the bar. This place is VERY NICE! Also the drinks and specials are amazing Happy hour is amazing. Sunday it's all days This is really a place that deserves more trafficz

    Do not go here! 30 minutes before 2am this past Friday a bouncer was overly aggressive in getting us out of the club. Which is crazy because there's only 10 of us there. When I told him to be nice he grabbed me and pushed me the ground. My husband came over to try and help me. A second bounced tackled him from behind and sat on him until the cops came 20 minutes later. This amount of force used was completely unnecessary. And we spent the weekend in jail due going to the wrong club that allows their staff to act like this to 1 of their 10 customers. We are currently at a attorney office to discuss suing this club. Screw this place. Look elsewhere for your good time.

    I really wanted to love this place. Let me set off with the positives. The decor, the DJ, the…read moreseating ambience, and overall just vibes are 100%, 5/5 out of five stars. The chicken tenders were fire!!! What is lacking on this occasion was service. The server that we had was so unattentative. I have never been in a cocktail lounge in my life and had to beg for drinks. Our server would wait until every drinks was made for all of her tables before bringing out drinks. It was ridiculous. She was nice but seemed high. I ended up only having 2 drinks. We would have ordered more but they have 90min max seating and we didn't event get drinks for the first 30min. No exaggeration. Also one of my drinks I had to send back. My apple martini tasted like soap. It was like they did clean the glass after giving a soap bath. No bueno. So they need to get their service to match the vibe of a true cocktails lounge. Yes it is a 70s vibe but doesn't mean the lackadaisical style service. I would come back and try again. The music, the atmosphere and the food was good. They gotta get these cocktails together and service. We ended up walking to nearby competitors and that was money lost for DDG.

So let's start off with the fact that when you're seated , they disclose that this is a "90 minute experience." . My only issue is that getting your drinks and food might take 80 minutes. Great atmosphere. They have a disco ball in the middle , just like the 70s. Music is not too loud. Dimly lit, but perfect. Order your drinks right away, because ours took forever. Nothing to write home about here. The real crab Rangoon is ok but they are small. The chicken tenders are huge portions. It's like they cut a breast in half for each tender. That was the saving grace. I like the experience. Wanted to give 5 stars , but I can't due to the "mid" experience.

But, if you're looking for a really cool bar, KWSC is for you. I stopped by on a week day evening around 8:30 p.m. Located in Roosevelt Row, while there isn't parking, I found free parking on the street a few minutes away on foot. Ambiance (4.5/5): My type of spot. Dimly lit with a speakeasy vibe. There are eight or so seats at the bar, and the rest of your seating options consist of comfortable chairs and sofas. You'll see a lot of photos of people's bums on the walls lol. This is indeed part of the appeal. For free, if you would like, they will take a polaroid of your butt and memorialize you eternally on the walls. While I didn't do that, if that's up your alley, go for it. Service (2/5): This is the main area of improvement. After being seated, I was greeted promptly and got my first cocktail promptly. From there, things fell apart. I had to grab the bartender's attention to order my second drink and to close out. It was a week day and they weren't busy. And there were two bartenders. A lack of attentiveness. When I closed out, I noticed that the cocktails were both $2 more expensive than what was listed on the menu. When I inquired, I was told that the menus were outdated... umm what? If you're not going to re-print your menus, give people a heads-up when they arrive. I understand that most people won't notice, but this is deception. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet. If you're trying to eat here, all they have is snacks. The menu doesn't specify but I'm thinking it's probably chips or somethign like that. Drinks (4/5): A lengthy, and interesting, cocktail list. Similar to a speakeasy, you're going to see creativity and an interesting blend of flavors here. The most popular drink is Fuck Nazis. We're seeing a theme here. KWSC is an interesting spot. For various dollar amounts, you can get funny things outside of the polaroids of your bum. My first cocktail was great. My second one, a tiki drink, not so much. The menu said that there would be some flame action happening. It didn't. Just another example of the service falling short. If the service were better, Killer Whale Sex Club would easily be a five-star experience.

The atmosphere was unique, the bartenders were genuinely engaging, and there was a real sense of community that made every visit memorable. It became my go-to spot to bring friends from out of town and every single person I brought absolutely loved it! Back then, the cocktails felt intentional and creative, not just rushed out for volume. The staff remembered regulars, conversations flowed naturally, and the whole place had this warm, eclectic energy that made you want to stay for hours. Even on busy nights, it somehow still felt personal. Unfortunately, over the last couple of years, the vibe has changed quite a bit. The drinks just aren't as consistently good as they used to be, especially considering the prices now. Service feels far more transactional and impersonal, and the atmosphere that once made this place stand out has faded into something much more generic. It feels less like a neighborhood gem and more like a stop on a nightlife circuit.

Modifications, re-ordering drinks, even just reading the menu, etc... just not easy. I'm with the boomers on this one - just give me paper! I suppose it is nice that I can get a drink without waiting for someone, but at the same time service is not great because people don't come to check on you unless you order through your phone. They still want an auto-gratuity if you're with more than 6 people, even though we all ordered separately. I understand that's pretty normal - but what service did they give us besides putting the food on the table? None! The food itself is pretty good, not fantastic but good enough for the kind of place it is. The games are fun and there is a good selection. The ordering system and lack of service just really brings it down, though - it kinda feels like better quality fast food at that point.

It's the kind of restaurant that makes getting dressed up feel exciting and worth it, and I absolutely loved that about the experience. It felt like such a perfect date night spot or place to celebrate something special. The servers were also extremely attentive the entire night. Everyone was friendly, professional, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling overbearing. The service honestly matched the upscale atmosphere perfectly and made the whole experience feel even more polished. And OMG... the food. SO SO SO SO SO GOOD. Like genuinely one of those meals where every single bite makes you pause for a second because it tastes that incredible. I got the chicken orzo along with the lime icebox cake for dessert, and both were absolutely amazingggg. The chicken orzo was phenomenal. The lemon flavor throughout the orzo was bright, fresh, and flavorful without being overpowering, and the tomatoes were the PERFECT addition because they balanced everything so well and added a little sweetness and freshness to the dish. But the chicken... wow. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside while still being super juicy and tender inside, which is honestly hard to do. Every component of the dish worked together perfectly. Magnificent is genuinely the best word for it. And the lime icebox cake was the perfect ending to the meal, refreshing, creamy, flavorful, and not too heavy after dinner. Honestly, I'm sitting here craving the food again just looking back at the pictures I took. This is definitely one of those restaurants that sticks in your mind long after you leave.

The restaurant itself is very cute and clearly designed for photos, which matches what I saw on their Instagram. Service overall was fantastic. The food, however, was just okay. I ordered the burrata and fig plate and was told they'd replace the bread with apple slices. I received five very small slices of apple, and when the plate was set down the waitress said she'd get more if needed. I later noticed I was charged $2 for an additional five slices, which together didn't even amount to half an apple. Ironically, the bread that comes with the dish would have been far more substantial. The burrata was fine, but nothing memorable. My friend ordered the chicken and brussels sprouts and didn't even finish it before having the plate taken away. The flourless almond cake was the star, a bit salty on its own, but with the ice cream and whipped cream it was a delightful combo which were the highlight. Overall, this is a great spot for cocktails, ambiance, and photos, but the food is fairly mediocre compared to the setting.
