    Mmmm... whiskey old fashioned!
    Emily J.

    UPDATE: I've been coming here every couple of weeks now for about a year. It has become my home bar because everyone there is just so lovely. Billy is our usual bartender and I absolutely adore him--if you're there, I recommend the Pomegranate Martini--MMMM!!!! If Tommy's bartending on the restaurant side (which happens on Friday nights, along with live belly dance shows--awesome!), be sure to order an Old Fashioned--he does 'em right! There's been a lot of work done to this place in the last year--new scenery on the bar side, new toilet seats in the ladies bathroom (see original review below), and new karaoke DJs (Jamie and Trista are a HUGE part of why I go). A word on the karaoke: the first time I went to this place, the DJ was a bit scary and slightly offensive--no good for a newbie. I haven't seen him since, however, and the new DJs are FANTASTIC. The music isn't the newest, but that's not a bad thing. I think my favorite part about the karaoke here is the crowd--although it's ever-changing, they are always supportive and a great time. It's not uncommon to see everyone get up and start to dance along to the livelier tunes. Want my humble opinion on the hookah itself? Go for classic French Vanilla or juicy Fruit Punch. Stay clear of Limoncello (hardly any flavor) and Double Apple (sticks with you long after you want it to lol). I always bring new and old friends here--sometimes for dinner on Fridays, and sometimes to just crash after a long Saturday of hiking. I was hard on this place in the beginning, but I'm SO glad to end up here at the end of a long week. SNIPPETS FROM MY ORIGINAL REVIEW: This place was kind of like falling into bizarro-world. I love hookah, so I will definitely go back, but probably not on karaoke night. The building itself is situated on the edge of a trailer park. It's very David Lynch-esque when you're driving up the winding access road (77 Sirloin Strip--yeah, really--like steak). When you walk in, it looks like the kind of dive bar you'd imagine Kenny Rogers must frequent. The clientele represent all ages and walks of life. The bartenders are quite friendly, but I got charged $14 for a double. When that happens, I stop buying drinks. $14 for a double is ridiculous. $14 for a double in the middle of a trailer park? That's just effing crazy. (**UPDATE: That bartender must've been VERY new because that has never happened again: drinks are anywhere between $4 and $10 for the swanky martinis, etc.**) I did really enjoy sitting in the easy chairs and hitting that hookah. Individual mouth thingies are provided (hooray for being sanitary!). Next time, I'll sit in the dining room, away from the bar. And next time, I'll pre-game so I'm not paying for drinks that cost way too much. One last thing--the bathrooms are a little scary. Doors don't quite lock, and as my friend said, the toilet seats look like they got into a fight with some battery acid. I'd like them to take all my drink money and fix up the bathrooms a little. lol

    Wow, who knew? Great Mediterranean food on a hill in a trailer park overlooking the Beltline. Excellent service, great belly dancing, hookahs on almost every table. Highlights included chicken kabob with fresh grilled veggies and chicken on bed of incredible couscous, Mediterranean pasta and falafel. Only negative was they were sold out off eggplant parm from the night before!

    I have tons of experience with hookah and mediterranean restaurants, if you're feeling hesitant don't! Great products and service!

    I'm a long haul auto transporter, so I'm constantly checking out hookah and mediterranean eats all over the United States. I was delivering some Porsche's across the street and stumbled across this place. The neighborhood made me hesitant at first, but decided to give it a go anyways. I was not disappointed! The service was great. We ordered calamari, buffalo chicken wrap, and a double Apple hookah. All the products came out amazing! I will be visiting again when I have deliveries in the area. Good luck and much success in the future!

    It's a pretty cool dive bar for college kids. My days of college bars have passed, but since we…read morewere visiting I would say it absolutely checked the box of having a few cheap drinks in a pretty cool atmosphere.

    I find it extremely unprofessional that a bar back came up to us in line wearing a Whiskey Jack's…read moresweatshirt and claimed there is a dress code of no sweatpants. He was very adamant that we would not be let in wearing sweatpants and told us to go home and change. He claimed he was a bouncer and would not let us in if we wearing sweatpants. When I got to the door we found no issue getting in with sweatpants on, and when we asked about it, we were like told there is no dress code. This was reinforced when we went inside and saw numerous individuals with sweatpants on including some employees. The interesting part however was this individual who claimed they were a "bouncer" was not at the door, but was in fact behind the bar and grabbing trash around the premises, so we assume they actually a bar back. Our group does not understand why this individual thought it was okay that as a bar back to enforce their own policy that is clearly not a policy of the establishment, but we found it extremely unprofessional and will let everyone we know of this encounter to warn them for the future. No one should be dress coded at a college bar, especially by an individual who has no merit to tell customers what to do and relay a fake policy, and blame the owner so the bar back can keep who they don't want in the bar out.
