Setting up at the bar dressed hot, talking with other guys has been a real turn on for her! The drinks are strong and priced very well! She tends to go there on her own in the afternoons when she gets off work, mostly to meet other guys! The bar has a great atmosphere, nobody bothers her other than guys wanting to talk to her, which is fine with me! Their hours are a little weird They open later in the day especially on Sundays and a couple other days a week. We definitely give it 5 stars :) DB

What an unexpectedly fun night!…read more I honestly had no idea what I was walking into when a friend told me I had to check out Bikini Lounge because they know I'm drawn to all things eclectic. They were absolutely right. From the moment the friendly bouncer smiled and said, "Step right on in," I was hooked. Yoooow!! The first DJ was incredible. He was spinning all kinds of trip-hop, indie, electronic, and remix-style tracks that had everybody partyin'. It wasn't your typical dance music, but every song seemed to connect with somebody in the room. The crowd was incredibly diverse, and it was so much fun watching people of every age and style dancing and nobody cared. The second DJ, a younger woman, shifted the vibe a bit and leaned more toward a younger crowd. It wasn't quite my style, so I took that opportunity to grab a seat at the bar and do what I apparently do best... chat with complete strangers. I'm a talker, and thankfully they seemed just as happy to strike up a conversation. This isn't some fancy cocktail lounge, and that's exactly the point. It's authentic. There were people dancing at the bar, grooving in their booths, bouncing in their seats, and filling the dance floor with great energy. I came by myself, and within minutes a cool group of strangers invited me to squeeze into their booth like we'd all come together. That's the kind of place this is. At one point they even offered me a glass of beer from their pitcher. I politely declined (look at me making responsible life choices... sometimes), but then I realized almost everyone had pitchers! So I sauntered over to the bar. I did have to wait a bit; apparently chivalry doesn't extend to letting a woman cut the line, but once I reached the bartender, the service was fast and friendly. Every trip back to the bar was the same. No complaints there. As the night went on, the energy just kept building. Before I knew it, I was on the dance floor sweating, smiling, and dancing with complete strangers. After a while, I had to retreat to the patio just to catch my breath before heading back in for more. My ankles are still sore... and the glutes? Fuhgetabouttit! The best part of the night wasn't the music or even the drinks. It was the people. Every generation was represented. Every fashion style imaginable. Every personality. And somehow it all worked. There was this genuine sense of joy and community that you just don't find everywhere. If you're looking for polished and upscale, this probably isn't your spot. But if you want great music, a welcoming crowd, zero pretension, and one of those nights where you leave happier than you arrived... give Bikini Lounge a shot. I went in not knowing what to expect. I left wondering why I'd waited so long to go.

The drinks a reasonable and have decent bar food along with a taco truck out front. I havent been to the new one but menu looks good and always see a lot out there. They have a smoking section in the back along with dart machines. The pool shooters are good for the most part and have a white board to keep track of who is next and its actually followed. Bar staff is great across the board but may have a wait late on Friday or Satuday nights. Drinks are reasonable and they renovated the bathrooms so it smells better and feels cleaner. There are quite a few characters for regulars but never had any issues with patrons. At last visit had a feisty inebriated lady hanging on me and trying to dance with everyone but everyone kept their cool and she was cut off. Burgers and fried food are great as well as corn dogs specials for you weiner lovers. As far as down sides for dive bars, I cant think of much other than no pitchers or mugs but do have pints. They also 86d good slayer songs on the touch tunes juke box but at least they have one and dont cut off sings, though it could be loyder for my liking. I am a regular of some sorts mainly cause its close and the servers know us.

No reservations at this place, just first come, first serve! As mentioned the bar is not gigantic. When you walk in on the right there is a long bar with stools and on the left there are some small booths great for couples. The place does feature a couple large booths for larger parties of 6. The ambiance is dark like most speakeasies. Super modern looking with live plants gracing one of the walls and alcohol on the rest of the wall requiring a ladder to access top shelf. If you are hungry, the bar does offer some food. There are a variety of tacos on the menu and a raw bar. On the raw bar you can get oysters and shrimp. Lastly the bar does have a small happy hour. Bar stays open till midnight.

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.

Note that they sometimes have DJ's here and they play music so loud that you have to scream just to talk to someone next to you. For an arcade, you'd think that they'd have arcades that actually worked. I played Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and the stick and buttons were so horribly malfunctioned. I also wished that the games were clear as to how many tokens you needed to play them. I only had 3 tokens left and wanted to try pinball only to realize that it costs a $1 to play them. They really need to do maintenance on their arcade machines.

Our friend lives down the street and she heard good things about Legends Never Die. This spot is a small, 20 seat speakeasy. From Roosevelt St it's easy to miss, as a speakeasy should be, hidden in plain sight. When we located the door we walked in, not sure how busy it would be, luckily we noticed some seats right away. The server walked up and asked if we could wait outside, she needed to "reset" the space. Another group walked up after us and I let them know we were in a que of sorts, and apparently 2 other people standing outside off to the side we ahead of us. So, that was just a strange way to start off. We didn't wait long, around 10-15 minutes. Once inside, the service was okay, it felt a bit rushed and slow at times. Like it took a bit for the server to come back and take our order and then the drinks came out so fast, I wondered if the drinks were all pre-batched. Which is not necessarily bad if they were, my drink just didn't seem interestingly presented or having any craft cocktail flair. And all in all, I liked the dark, vibey interior with good music playing, and I thought the cocktail menu sounded inventive but at the end of the day I thought my drink was fairly basic tasting and I didn't get any of the flavors noted in the description. The other 2 drinks at our table were better. I didn't get any chai, banana, or almond butter tastes, just a solid old fashioned. I had hoped some chai or banana would be notable. I would definitely come back and see if there are other drinks on the current menu that have stand out flavors for me, since this is a cool bar.
