Fantastic Spot To "Pregame" Shows @ Goldfields Next Door…read more SITREP We descended upon the Tack Room an hour before our show for "Ally The Piper" (both the classical AND heavy metal bagpiper extraordinaire) began her show! THE SETUP Goldfields is a charming, rustic country-western stylized saloon that serves up beer at good prices. But we weren't interested in beer and wanted quality cocktails. Hence, our pivot next door to the Tack Room! QUALITY COCKTAILS & DRINKS! The Tack Room specializes an amazing array of martinis, bourbons, and other deLISH cocktail drinks at really really reasonable prices! So this was an excellent choice to chill, thus avoiding the tremendous *noise pollution* we were immediately subjected to upon entering Goldfields an hour later for our show. THE LOWDOWN This is a quality bar with plenty of comfortable seating to relax and have quiet, intimate conversations. So if you and your later friend(s) want some privacy, cocktails at a reasonable price, etc., this is a good way to go.

What an absolutely fantastic place to duck into and chill for a bit on a hot summer day. It's about…read moreas classic as you can ask for from a small bar. It's themed around horse racing, but not in an overbearing or... tacky way. The mixologist was delightful and had great recommendations, the lights were dim, and the drinks were all on point. The highlight was the espresso martini, which is among the best I've had. It was reminiscent of the one I had at the Starbucks Roastery in NYC, which is high praise. The other coffee drink that surprised me was the Revolver. I always forget about what a good pairing orange and coffee is, and I'll be taking this one back home with me to try! Every other drink we tried was delicious in some unique way. The Pho drink was savory and surprising, the New York Sour was rich and flavorful, and the Practical Move was refreshing. Will definitely return here after dinner to sip an espresso martini for dessert!

A favorite of theirs is The Snug; they thought we wouldn't be able to get in but thanks to a concert nearby they had free tables. It's primarily a cocktail bar, but I stuck with a beer. The decor is an awesome mix of contemporary, brick, old west, and 20s. It was a happy clientele too, with what seemed like a younger post-workday crowd. The server was also fantastic. If you like cocktail bars with character, this is worth the visit.

The name really does say it all. Tables tucked in the back, cozy atmosphere, the kind of place that…read morejust feels like a good night out before you've even ordered anything. The menu is great on two levels, the aesthetic and the actual cocktail options. Wine was solid too so whatever you're in the mood for, they've got you. The staff was attentive and friendly and made some really good recommendations, which I always appreciate. We went on a busy night and even with a packed house we never waited too long for anything. Really great spot to hang with friends. Already want to go back.

Love this spot! Came here for a friend's birthday and she had rented out the whole space. Such a…read morecool, relaxing place to be. Lots of beautiful artwork for sale, great wine, and the best music! They have a whole wall of records and it is an immense collection. Stop in, drink some wine, beer, or other non alcoholic drinks and relax. Listen to the great music, check out the upstairs, and then enjoy your time! It's a great location and super close to Doco.

We went on a Wednesday night around 8 PM, it was really chill and there were a few people here and there. They also have an upstairs seating area, which is nice and cozy as well! Service was nice and attentive, when we walked in, we were given a menu about what drinks were being served and we were given a quick overview on the days throughout the week and what events are being held in what music is being played, which is really cool! We were also told they do have a record day where you can come in and bring your own vinyl and they will play it along with other records that customers bring which is so fun! Overall, the place is super small and cozy, great aesthetic and it is in downtown so there isn't a dedicated parking lot.

It was definitely a unique experience, and seeing the mermaid perform was the highlight of our visit! I was a little disappointed by the cover charge since we were only planning to stop in for one drink before heading elsewhere. That said, the drinks were reasonably priced, the music was great, and the atmosphere was fun and energetic. The crowd definitely skewed younger... I'm in my mid-4s, but I rolled with it. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. If you're looking for a lively, unique bar with an entertaining vibe, it's worth checking out, especially for the live mermaids.

When we arrived, the staff was very friendly and provided great service. The food and drinks were also great. The upstairs rooftop with the DJ was a lot of fun and had a great vibe. The only downside was that the bar service upstairs was a bit slow since there was only one bartender, and you can't bring drinks ordered downstairs up to the rooftop. Overall, I loved the atmosphere and would definitely go back.

I'll admit we sucked at trivia but it was a lot of fun. The Star Wars nerds made it a raucously fun night! If you're a 70s, 80s or 90s kid, you will appreciate the neon/Bowie/C3PO/8-tracks/arcade games that decorate the walls and comfy lounge. There is no food, except maybe bags of small chips for purchase. The bartenders are chill and drinks are strong (some more than others). Prices are average, I guess, for any bar in Midtown. Cool place to go when you want nostalgic vibez of the best era to grow up in!

There's booth and table seating, bar seating, and outdoor seating. The bartenders are nice, the drinks are amazing, and the food is also super good. My cousins and I love coming here for their May 4th Stat Wars week every year to get themed mugs and drinks. My favorite drinks here are the Macadamia Nut Chi Chi, Lava Flow, and Saturn. The drinks are strong and delicious at a good price. They serve food from 4p-10p and I'd recommend the Togarashi fries (spicy and delicious) and coconut shrimp. They recently did a menu change and added dole whip too! Definitely come check them out!

With each game costing one to two dollars I felt a little ripped off I couldn't even finish my game of three balls. The pool table me and my friend played on was quite frankly disgusting. Tons of stains on the table and felt peeling. The balls all chipped and scratched. Also there was some issue with something being stuck when the game was first setup with my friend putting it together but I wasn't paying attention. He had to flag down a worker to help resolve the issue. I get it, things are pricey these days, so a newer business has to find a deal when they can, but at least find a way to improve an already overly used item. I don't expect brand new pool tables, but at least tables that look like the business cares Not to mention the ground and walls were just dirty and gross. Seemed like nobody is really cleaning the place. All the tables tops seemed sticky (if you know you know). The velvet lounge just kinda seemed like a random thrown together area, but maybe on a slow Monday it didn't feel right with lack of people. The workers were great and gave great service, just sadly all the half run down amenities that is supposed to make this place great, makes it pretty lackluster. I guess come if you want the axe throwing?
