Just wanted to update and let people know that this is no longer a sports bar. Most of the…read morepictures attached do not match what I saw today. None of the TV's had games/sports. I did not have any food or drinks, so I will not leave a negative review. However, if you are looking for a sports bar in the area I would not recommend Rosie's.

This hot spot is literally HOT!…read more Be prepared to sweat due to the poor ventilation, but it's still a great time. This Brazilian/Portuguese bar is a local hot spot. Being an outsider I was not looked down upon or made feel uncomfortable. I actually had a great time. A live duo cover band sang some American classic hits and Brazilian/Portuguese songs. The inside bar is small, and the outdoor seating is good sized. Prices were not crazy high, and they do offer food. FYI: Parking is street, and can be a bit tough since the area is heavily populated.

Looking for a chill African spot to dance and unwind, we were recommended to visit Origin. We…read morearrived around 10:30 and were told we made it just in time to get in for free, as there is a cover charge starting at 11 pm. For about an hour, the music was at an enjoyable level. Once it hit 11:30, the dj started and it became hard to talk to each other. The afrobeats and hip-hop kept us dancing and singing all night, although a lot of songs ended prematurely. My girlfriend didn't enjoy her espresso martini until they made it again with less Bailey's. I ordered a Remy Martin based cocktail which was ok. Our bartender was funny and engaging, and she went above and beyond to make us drinks we had at other restaurants (which she nicely didn't charge us for). Their alcohol selection is average. They also have a VIP lounge upstairs and people smoke hookah throughout.

After a wonderful dinner, my boyfriend and I wanted to go out to Dance. We were recommended this…read morelocation that is known for their African music, great food and cocktails. We arrived at the location a little before 11 PM and there was no cover which was a pleasant surprise. We were told that the peak hours are after 11:30 till 3 AM. Before the DJ arrived, we were able to hear each other speaking and hold conversation. Once the DJ arrived around 1130/12pm it was difficult to hear each other. The espresso martini wasn't my favorite was more Baileys and espresso liquor based as opposed to the foundation being coffee/espresso with a splash of Bailey's. I really enjoyed my apple whiskey martini with cranberry juice and grenadine. I highly recommend ordering it. I love how the drink menu had unique cocktail names that were African based. The service was great. The staff and bartenders were super friendly and were open to accommodating our unique cocktail recipe requests. I look forward to coming back for the food and bringing friends and family in the future.

Ehhhh I was hoping to love it but was underwhelmed. Great house music DJ which I specifically went…read morefor on a Sunday night but the crowd was a bit off. A mixture of either old, sketchy, no sex appeal and rough around the edges. The dance floor was packed and the music was on point. There was some people that set up food in the back but it left a trail of an odor that was not appetizing. Drinks were ok at best but when I asked for a cup with ice it seemed to be an issue. Very off putting. Not quite sure what the issue was.... The bartender brought the manager over and I had to specify I wanted it for my beer. Yes, I'm a weirdo if I don't get a frosted glass, I'll take a cup with ice. The manager proceeds to ask me ; "So you want me to pour the beer into the cup with ice?" UMMM yes I don't mind pouring it my damn self but if it makes you more comfortable, knock yourself out. It truly didn't make a difference to me who poured it, I just wanted some damn ice to cool myself off! I'm not sure what type of sketchy and shady people they deal with but I am not the one. My boyfriend and I run a good tab on drinks, give me what I'm asking for and paying for! Meanwhile, I did not see just about any of the 30-40 people on the dance floor buy a drink. I then saw hookah's on a table and the price list. Unfortunately, they were not providing hookah service that night. So why have them out? Whewwww I love my house music community and love the Lincoln Park festival that is close to the bar but this past Sunday this bar and crowd missed the mark. The only redeeming factor was the DJ. I highly doubt I'd return unless it were to vibe out and dance to a DJ I reaaaaallly love.

Tonight they having a drawing. 3 winners go in the money room. Grab as much money as you can in a given time. Cute. And then few drawings for bottles of Hennessy. That's a good way to draw in people.

I was pleasantly surprised!…read more What a cool spot! Located not far from Prudential Center.. came here for Wednesday night karaoke. Found street parking with no meter which was great. Smaller spot, but you don't feel like you're on top of each other. It reminded me of a Village kinda spot.. very dark interior... but a whole vibe. Bathrooms were really clean.. nice bar in the back of the space. The only reason I will give it 4 is because even though the drinks were reasonably priced, the bartender wasn't making the best drinks... you could barely tell that there was any alcohol in them.. I had to order an extra shot just to make it taste good. I think she needed some help because she seemed sorta flustered in taking care of everyone. I would definitely return!! Especially for karaoke!

i don't think they actually serve alcohol here. i went with a group of people on November 1st, was…read moremy first time there. i personally got around 5-6 drinks within the first 45 minutes and didn't taste of feel the alcohol at all. at least three other people in my group had the same complaints. additionally the security seemed quite relaxed. i saw a few people with bags walked in and did not get searched. i also had a bag but didnt get searched. i don't know if they just decide on bag size to search or not but either way, it didn't feel that safe. aside from this, the service was nice and the bartenders were doing their best to serve everyone as fast as they could. i like how everything was themed and such. i was not a fan of the music playing in any of the rooms but thats subjective so i cant take off points for that. i didn't order food so i can't comment on that. in conclusion though, i wont be returning for the first two points listed above. i cant say it was the same for everyone but it felt like this for myself and three others so i wanted to share my thoughts

First, I had the strawberry margarita, then the peach, and the mango. I also had the honey jerk wings. The margaritas were a little too sweet for me but good. The wings were very good and tasty; they didn't taste frozen. The happy hour on IG stated 5-9pm, but I think the bartender stated it ends at 8:30pm. Very clean and spacious, good happy hour, good dj, and also offering hookah. I would definitely recommend this spot

Seasoned well, lots of margarine sauce with fresh garlic. A little salty but a good amount for the price. My second order just a month apart was vastly different. The crabs came and that ammonia like smell hit me like a baseball to the face. Spending all my summers in Maryland,I recognize the smell of rotten crabs. It was potent. I was highly upset because how could you send this out?? You could literally kill someone like this! Throwing a mountain of garlic and old bay to mask that heavy ammonia scent due to expiration is a very dangerous game. I was refunded my money but that's honestly not the point here. It's pure dangerous to sell rotten seafood to folk. I looked on the app reviews and saw 2 others say the same months before me. Unforgivable.
