I will admit its been several years (maybe a decade) since I was there last , and ai know things change but Ive only had 1 negative experience there and it was MY FAULT not the establishment. I don't know if its changed hands since then but I used to know the owners, and they were very cordial and welcoming ever single time regardless of the amount of patrons or event. Ive had some of the best times of my life when I was younger at this place. I wish I had a picture of one of these "best times" but all I can say is One was called "Bubble Halloween " (several of these actually) and the other was called "Welcome to Bat Country" by GetBent! Ive seen the place back when the doors were by the outdoor patio and others when they had a lounge in the back which was the front door last time I went. Im not sure what its become but I can say it was THE PLACE for electronic music with the BEST DJ's in Upstate New York. So many fond memories of mine happened in there. Lol. I miss those times. Maybe one day I will come by again and see if my favorite Vampire still pours drinks? Bryan? Lol u still there?

We hadn't even had the original hookah for 5min. The DJ was awesome. The crowd was pleasant. It's a great place if you want to enjoy hookah and a live DJ. We went on a Thursday night and it was pretty busy. They also have a ton of flavors to choose from. I will definitely return.

It is not this way at other bars as the entertainment is an afterthought for people to listen to as they socialize and drink spending money. They want the money but cater to ones not spending it and then try to bleed the ones coming for the entertainment by forcing minimums even on those that bought a ticket and never showed up. RESPONSE to Owner: Then it is best to change all your Misguiding information on your website and Facebook pages. How doe one "SOCIALIZE" with people and "LOUNGE" around doing so as in your own descriptions on your website and Social Media? How can you charge people that don't show on a ticket for a table set-up on your minimum purchase, when those that did attend went way beyond the minimum purchase on those that attended INCLUDING the ticket that was a NO SHOW? Price Gouging or a Venue that is desperate for money trying to fleece those that "attend" and don't attend for your Shows? Where does it state that policy as to NO-SHOWS and what makes it Legal? You may feel certain ways about your Venue, but it doesn't pay the bills as you have basically asked to nickel and dime members yet won't do anything to improve your bottom line or approach? Hobbys are great but having a "Alligator" as a hobby will eat you out of house and home.

At first the location seems less than promising, but inside the little touches of decor make for a charming, if not polished experience. It is still largely a bar that serves food, but the food is impressive in both quality and low price. The little details like in-house made desserts, house ranch dressing, and hand cut fries are a pleasant surprise. The organization behind staggered brunch seating lends itself well to good availability of items, freshness, and service. The menu includes frequently updated seasonal choices. This is also a LGBTQ+ bar. Brunch menus are regularly posted on Facebook, and the process for text message based reservations is convenient. Possibly one of the most surprisingly good restaurants in the greater Syracuse area.

They closed 20 minutes early and when I asked the employee if they were open until 2am, his response was, "we're open until whenever the f**k I say we are". I told him that he didn't need to be rude and he said, "I just want to go home." I quite literally don't care that you want to go home. You're getting PAID TO BE THERE! He then got very aggressive and started screaming I needed to "get the f**k out". After I said some choice words which I understand didn't help the situation, I turned around to leave and he pushed me from behind. When I say this, please understand I'm saying with my whole chest...he is lucky I didn't turn and knock his teeth out. It is absolutely unacceptable to get physical with someone ESPECIALLY as they TURN AROUND TO LEAVE! That employee should be fired and he is lucky I don't press charges for assault. Lowkey, this establishment should probably be shut down if you allow your employees to get physical with your patrons. Do better.

The man who was the main perpetrator followed us out the bar and all security did was step in front of him after being made aware of the situation. He proceeded to stare us down through the windows and eventually came outside and watched us walk down the block. absolutely disgusting behavior and a complete under-reaction to a very dire and serious situation. these men were about in their 40s and had multiple women with them who claimed them to be their "boss" and stated that they were their "pimp". If you care for your female friends or are a female yourself, I would recommend you find another place to spend your nights at.
