distribute is for the live band open mic called "Sounds & Spirits" which is every third Sunday and has Ben Throw Social since the end of 2022. What more can you ask for with an open mic. They have a signed up list off to the side. They also have pre-registration for artist who want the band to learn their original music before the show and do not charge them to learn it. If you are a musician, they allow you to play on set as well. They have had some amazing guest celebrity and national recording artist. They have hookah now. The drinks are not expensive and the food is decent. This review was just for the experience alone.

Old bay wings, chips and salsa, queso and tater tot's

My friends and I visited for the Super Bowl, and while the vibes were great, the experience was a miss. The chips, queso, and salsa tasted store-bought, and the queso was lukewarm. The Old Bay dry rub wings had good flavor but were overly seasoned. Nicole and Rain were great! Despite a drink order mix-up, they made up for it with a free round of shots. Our food arrived quickly, but drinks (2 shots, 1 Tropical Lemonade) took over an hour and a half which was a bit ridiculous. Tara (the manager) eventually expedited them and offered another free round, which was appreciated. There was a fun commercial bingo game, and great DJs, but the overall experience was frustrating. Audio/video issues caused us to miss pre-game highlights, though the issues were thankfully fixed by kickoff. Overall, if you're looking for drinks and entertainment definitely check them out, but I wouldn't recommend for food.

My family and I were here for a reunion and decided on Throw Social. It was such a fun experience! The service was prompt, the food was delicious and of course we played games and danced the entire time thanks to the DJ! We came earlier in the day because we had small kids with our group, and they enjoyed themselves as well! We had such a good time!

Food: I mean...they tried to kill us with how much sugar was on and the sugar cubes INSIDE those waffles. Chicken was good. It was seasoned. No one raved about the food. Service: the birthday girl wasn't pleased. Well, they brought me my waffles with no strawberries. I'm guessing bc everyone else got no strawberries. I did! Ambiance: the decor is beautiful. Well thought out. DJ: The DJ needs her own category! She was ahhhhmazzzing! She was a total vibe! I mean...I want to give 5 stars just because of her.

When life gives you lemons...and there are no lemon drops.

I went for my birthday brunch with my girls to keep the Miami vibes going and it was a miss. Elevator was broken so lots of stairs. I had Eventbrite tickets but no one checked or directed us. Bottomless brunch was advertised on Eventbrite but not available so everything was à la carte and the mimosa came in a solo cup (was way too much juice in the DMV) my fellow brunchers understand. Food was underwhelming (how do you mess up eggs), Staff appeared uninterested and disengaged but the DJ and bartender (guy) were highlights. We ended up leaving and going to Park on 14th...Seems like a night spot but brunch needs work. Let's collaborate and make brunch great again.

Throw Social is an entire VIBE! I was planning out a visit to D.C. last August and wanted to experience authentic go-go music. Many of the venues that were recommended to me were further out of the immediate D.C. area, which was a bit much for me as a solo traveler. Somehow I came across Throw Social and was made aware that they had live bands on the weekend. Going there was the best decision. I stopped by on a Friday night as they advertise live go-go bands specifically on that night. I arrived around 11:30pm and it was already bustling. In fact, a line had formed to get in. Admission is about $20 before 10pm and they accept cash or card. Upon walking in, I was thoroughly impressed. The venue is pretty big. There is a full service bar, stage and standing area, as well as cabanas for bottle service, and a whole area for games like jenga and ping pong. I purchased a drink and tried to find an area that I could post up and enjoy the music. The bar was very busy and the music was loud so it was a bit of an annoyance trying to tell the bartender what I wanted. Luckily, they have paper menus, so I pointed to my choice and she made it. I opted for the cucumber twist drink. It was refreshing and delicious. A bit sneaky though since it isn't strong. They also offer free tap water at the bar. Additionally, they serve food. There were a lot of great choices but unfortunately, I waited too late to request food and did not get a chance to try it out. In terms of the music, the live band was amazing! It seems they play in sets. I missed the first set however, they returned about 2 more times to play for a length of time. In-between that, the DJ would play a few tunes. The music had a lot of bass with a great groove. Lots of twerking going on as well and folks were cheering for more of the band. I loved it and it was exactly what I was looking for. In terms of service, it was limited to the bar. Pricing was decent, about $16 for my drink. The crowd was a mature mixture of what seemed to be late 20s to late 30s. It was packed but everyone seemed respectful of space. Overall, it was a great time. I can't wait to return and I'd definitely recommend to others. Seems like a great place to celebrate a special occasion or have a night out with friends.

I went to Throw Social on a Saturday morning for a birthday brunch. We rented an indoor cabana for about three (3) hours. The atmosphere is very colorful and the venue is huge with outdoor seating. There's a few bar stations and games throughout, live DJ and huge dance floor. The music was really good and the customer service was great. We had a large party and our waiter was very patient and attentive. For these reasons, I would come back. The day vibe was great so I'm curious to see how it is at night. Unfortunately, the food wasn't anything to brag about. Not bad, but not great. I got chicken & waffles and the waffle was very sweet, I didn't finish it. I did like that the chicken served with the dish was wings versus chicken breast. The drinks were really good and the prices overall were great as well. Overall, I'd recommend this spot. I think it's a good time for sure.

If you're looking for a place to have fun then this is it. The vibes are perfect for dancing and having a great time. The DJ played a variety of throwbacks and current hits that had us moving. When I arrived around 3 they were still doing the brunch menu but they switched over at 4 to the dinner food. It was pretty easy getting a drink in the beginning as it wasn't too busy but it did take a while to get the bartenders attention when it got crowded but they tried to move through people as fast as they could. The vibes are definitely lit and fun. It's great place to have bday celebrations and group events. I would definitely return and want to check their outdoor area next time too!

Alyssa D.

This whole place has the coolest overall vibe! Imagine the ultimate indoor BBQ vibe with sick drinks, a live DJ, rooftop, games, and wide open space! I came with friends early on a Sunday for brunch and we were the first ones there but folks started trickling in. Had we not have to catch a train I def would have stayed longer! I ordered the Caesar salad and it was quite filling, I actually couldn't finish it. You can rent cabanas on the "lawn" and I'd totally recommend it if you have a bigger group. With a group of 4 it's not necessarily worth it.

Please note that this review is solely based on the ambience and the games as we didn't eat or drink here. Throw social is such a vibe! If you are looking for an engaging, active outing, where you can "lay your hair down" and release that inner kid, this may be your jam! Not only is Throw Social beautifully decorated, the options of games are also super fun. The game options we saw were ping pong, beer pong, big Jenga, and the over sized tic tac toe. There is also a DJ that plays all the jams. Needless to say, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. One thing to note is that there isn't a cover charge until maybe 9pm. As for parking, there is an abundant amount of street parking and garage parking. If you are near by, I definitely recommend you visit.

So I decided to have my birthday here, and wow I was so disappointed. The music was way too loud for the type of venue. How can you be social if no one can hear you? Putting in orders was near impossible, because our poor waitress was working both UPSTAIRS and DOWNSTAIRS. I felt bad for her and hope they learn to manage staffing better. Everyone was confused on staff. No one knew the menu or where orders were going. They were running a birthday special, so my friends ordered it for me. They had to fight to get my dessert and I believe I was charged for the drink that was meant to be free. There was no sparklers or sign. We were thankful to at least get the dessert like nearly an hour later. It was so stressful for something so simple. It was also hot. SO HOT. There were barely people there, so I can't imagine if the place was crowded. The only thing I enjoyed were the drinks, and I wouldn't come back for just that. Overall, this was one of the worst experiences in the 7-8 years of living in the DMV. The margarita tree is fun, but with everything else, would never come back.

I booked iceless curling for about 10 friends for my husband's birthday. The Staff: Amazing! When we arrived, I realized that I had accidentally booked the wrong date. The staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. They upgraded us to football bowling for no extra charge since iceless curling was full, and felt like they went out of their way to make sure we had an awesome time. The Venue: Awesome! Really great vibe with iceless curling on one side and football bowling on the other. They also have a bar at the front with seating. Music wasn't too loud. Ambiance was fun. Very "Instagramable". Drinks: Not bad. Some drinks were a bit sweet while others tasted a too artificial (flavorings, like lavender, didn't taste natural) but they were good enough. I'm sure the bartenders/drink options will continue to get better as this place grows and matures. read more

Horrible experience. Had to pay $10 each to reserve a seat. The website made it sound like that would go toward the bill, it did not. $50 for buffet brunch for horrible food (Hampton Inn's free breakfast is much better by comparison). Terrible service, we rarely saw our waiter, and when we paid he informed us they decided to include gratuity today for everyone and charged 20% for some of the worst service I've had in years. Overall, not a single reason to ever return, and even turned us off from our plans to try out Kick Axe downstairs. (We did got to Other Half brewing down the street - better atmosphere, awesome service, great beer, and a food truck if you're hungry) read more

I love axe throwing. This may have been my 10th time, but it was my first visit to Throw Social. I hosted an event here for 8-10 of us. I absolutely loved the atmosphere. The throwing space was pretty standard. Two targets and 2 axes. Our instructor was very helpful in the beginning with explaining the rules and a few techniques. I would say half of us have thrown before, so we didn't have many questions or require that much assistance. We bought an hour of fun, and it was roughly $36 per person, which is pretty typically for axe throwing. We had a great time. After we finished, we went to the upper level to check out the space. It was a tropical theme, with bright and pretty décor. There was another bar, a few games, group seating options, and live music. We didn't stay to enjoy the upper level, but I am for sure looking forward to returning. The place is also conveniently located next to an affordable parking garage. It's a win win! read more

My friends and I came here to celebrate my birthday and ended up having a great time! We made an hour reservation for curling, but it is not a requirement to make reservations. We were disappointed that it took about 20 minutes before someone came to our area to take our orders (keep in mind we only had an hour reservation), however, once our waitress came to our table, we did not have any issues with service. We ordered the wings and a few of the speciality cocktails and enjoyed everything!Overall, the staff was very friendly, the music was good, and I definitely plan on returning. read more

The ambiance and dj/karaoke make for a good time. I bought a $22 margarita that was very blah and the service was average at the bar. The food.... Smh. It's really hard to mess up basic bar food but TS has managed to do just that. The food is terrible, clearly frozen and tasteless. Save yourself some stomach pains and eat before you come. The food is ALWAYS bad and I've learned my lesson to keep hoping for a better experience. Like how do you mess up dip and chicken wings??? read more

I was rooting for this place hard AF, but after visiting to celebrate a friend's birthday Friday night.. kinda doesn't feel like Throw Social was rooting back. TS is super new to the Ivy City scene so I expected minor hiccups to arise. A mistakenly closed tab, wrong food order, ID mix up and several miscommunications later... we asked to see the manager as we wanted to share our experience / provide constructive criticism. Yo approached our table already on the defense and very clearly disinterested. He stated that "Throw Social is not a full service restaurant by any means" (a fact we were well aware of, but funny thing... good customer service transcends any industry)--and the "best" he could do for us is offer us a drink on them *shrugged shoulders / walked away* Not ruling this place completely out.. YET and that's only because I fuck with the vibes / gonna give Yo the benefit of the doubt & say he was just having an off day read more

The bottom floor is run by Kick Axe Throwing where there's axe throwing, bars, and lounges decorated with a ski lodge theme. The top floor is Throw Social transporting you to Miami. The theme is summer and there's a large bar, tents, football bowling and curling. TVs hang from the walls for more entertainment. read more

However if your hungry please choose somewhere else to eat!!! I got a pepperoni flat bread, my husband got a cheese flatbread and onion rings!! The onion rings tasted spoiled like the onions been sitting out alll day and they stunk soooo bad!!! The flatbread tasted like frozen pizza from the grocery store actually worse then that!! We ordered a pepperoni one and a cheese one and they both were horrible! Didn't even eat them cause they were horrible!!!! It literally was horrible! I cannot stress it enough!! The worse food ever no seasoning, no flavor, they had no dipping sauces! Like it was literally the worse and had the nerve to be $40 for just the food!!! Don't get me started on the service!! We had to go to the bar to get our own waters that's how much the server just didn't give a fuck about us! She didn't check on us not one time! And all the servers were trash can garbage pale! The bartender was pretty cooool!!! She filled out patron margarita flight up with 80 percent patron and 20 percent juice!!! All and all experience was a 4 out of 10! Axe throwing was down stairs that was fun!!!! It was an hour play time and about $68 for 2 people and that was military discount included! read more

Newly opened--felt a bit unorganized. Cool 50's Miami motif. Football bowling (combo bowling/ beer pong/ corn hole with a football) was fun. One hour was $30 per person and we played for a full hour. They didn't tell us we'd have to play against a different group of people we didn't know. The other group didn't either and complained that they didn't want to play with us, and we ended up just playing with our own group and got separate lanes which I preferred. The bar didn't have any menus (everyone asked for a menu). I personally think $30 is a bit expensive. Would try again. read more

This venue was awesome & lots of fun - for a family birthday celebration we reserved two cabanas, a football bowling field (they allowed us to use an extra space since there weren't many people in the venue!), then made our way to downstairs axe throwing. They also have multiple bar areas to sit and grab a drink at. Luckily, our large party was one of the few groups there, although the areas are pretty distanced out. Before 9pm, children are welcome so we were able to enjoy "a night out" while having our babies by our side since we went in the early evening on a weekday! The cabanas were roomy for our large party & even room for our strollers. All the games were enjoyable (football bowling is a challenge but fun) & they offer light bites, such as pretzels, meatballs, sliders, etc. The drink selection is not that robust & could be better, but to each their own. There is a parking garage across the street & there is a ramp for strollers/handicap. The decor here is very tropical & fun, with lots of photo ops. The bartenders were also very attentive & friendly to our large party. Needless to say, we had a blast here! read more

Terrible! I went with a few friends to check this new place out. Nothing really special about it. Drinks are just as overpriced as any other place in Ivy City. I ordered one drink downstairs and got a tall glass, the same drink in the upstairs bar came on a short glass/tumbler. What really made us feel like not coming back was the manager: He seemed to be angry for some reason and gave out an unprofessional vibe. To be completely honest with you, this place will only make the neighborhood become gentrified. Quick! The demographics of the place is mostly white in their 30s to mid 40s read more

The reason why I'm giving this place a two-star rating is because the waitress accuses my family of touching her inappropriate, we paid for a cabana instead of the manger coming to ask what happen. Security told us we would have to move out of the sitting. The same security I saw smoking outside of the place when I was walking, with their uniform shirts on. When I ask the waitress what happen she stated that she never said that, and the manger misunderstood what was said. The manger never came over to apologies security never came over to apologies neither. If I decide to return back to this place I will just sit at the bar. read more

Disorganized and poorly managed. We booked for Saturday, April 2 @ 9pm to play football bowling. Check was not the best experience but it was not the worst, we were told to return to the front desk at 9. We were unable to get a drink at the bar, the bartenders were slow and didn't even try to acknowledge customers that were standing waiting to get a drink. We were assigned to play with another couple against a team of 4. Which was okay until the couple we were teamed with friends showed up and started playing also. When I informed the employee who explained the rules what was going on and asked if we could be moved to another lane, he simply just said to go ask for a refund. At the check in desk the young lady did not seemed shocked or interested is addressing the issue, she just simply gave us a refund. Throw social is a great ideal in a great location, however it's poorly managed and very disorganized. It was very disappointing that we were simply told to get a refund and none of the employees tried to correct the situation. Also, I wouldn't have paid to play if you can simply walk into the game area and just start playing. Unfortunately, we will not be returning nor will be recommending Throw Social to any of our friends or family. read more

Awesome venue! The staff were very enthusiastic - you could tell they enjoyed working there and it only made the experience that much better. Tried the hatchet tossing (super fun! Like darts!!) and the foot bowling. Foot bowling was more challenging than I thought it would be - also more fun than I thought! Drinks were great as well. Looking forward to coming back!! read more

This place is amazing! I have attended other Grand Openings and the others always struggle with staff or food or service or SOMETHING! Throw Social is polished, professional, the staff genuine and most importantly its fun! Can't wait to make up an excuse for a "team building" exercise for work, or a guys night out, next birthday, Christmas, a Saturday, random Tuesday.... Long story short, super fun night, great food and drinks, awesome games, fun, knowledgeable staff. Can't wait to come again! read more

Went to this place with a group of friends last night. We rented a Cabana. With the $300 charge you still have to pay per player for each game. Service was slow. The Bartenders are horrible!!!! I ordered a Bulliet Bourbon with a light seltzer. How this bartender turned a beautiful brown Bourbon into vodka with Sprite was crazy. I sent it back and all they did was pour half out and sent it back to me. Last the DJ was horrible! Read the room DJ! If nobody is moving or nodding their heads you playing the wrong songs. read more

Service is 0/10. My 30 minute experience was terrible and would not recommend. The staff does not greet you, yet gives you attitude once you ask questions. Me and friends arrived wanting to throw axes and was told kick axe was closed just to be told it closed 30 minutes after the conversation we had with the doorman, although a couple of a different race was offered service after we arrived before them. The manager should consider retraining or hiring an entire new staff. The air was thick and sweaty, it also stunk and I noticed health code violations. The bathroom was also disgusting.

I'm disappointed to give this restaurant a 1-star review. My visit was marred by the bartender's complete disregard for us, party of 5. Despite not sitting at the bar, We expected some level of service. Instead, we felt invisible, waiting in vain for assistance. It's essential for staff to be attentive and courteous to all customers, not just those at the bar. This experience left a bitter taste in my mouth, overshadowing any potential positives about the establishment. I hope the management addresses this issue to ensure all patrons receive the service they deserve. For reference, this happened at evening of Labor Day 2023. read more

They argued with us and had an attitude like we didn't pay $305 for a cabana to BE SERVED! It was crazy. Save yourself the trouble and go to Dave n Busters or an actual bowling alley. TERRIBLE.

Lately, the bar frequently runs out of ingredients needed for its signature cocktails, certain food items, service has become noticeably slower, and staff turnover appears to be high. When the owner was more present, the experience felt polished, the menu was consistently available, and customer service was top-notch. Today, it feels like the attention to detail is gone. What was once an elegant cocktail destination now feels more like an overpriced dive bar.

My one complaint is the wine glasses were so teeny. Overall though, I would recommend this bar. Bonus: cheese balls when you sit down! I believe there is also a limited food menu (think nachos) for the after work or late night crowd.

Dare I say... my favorite cocktail bar I've tried in DC in the past couple of years, and a spot I'd…read moreabsolutely be a regular at if I lived in the area? Providencia has been on my to-try list forever, originally recommended by a bartender friend ages ago, and it wasn't until a recent trip that I finally was able to work it into my schedule to come for pre-dinner drinks and light bites. The spot is tucked away in a back alley off H Street, and honestly I'm not sure I would've found it if my Uber hadn't dropped me at the door. Reservations are required and you have to put down a $10 nonrefundable deposit that goes toward your bill, which makes sense because the space is small. Ideal for 1-3 people, not a group spot. The Salvadoran/Taiwanese flavor combo infused throughout this menu is its calling card. It's such a unique flavor combination and genuinely something I haven't seen before, and the menu does a beautiful job of letting both cuisines shine without one overpowering the other. The drinks are inventive but actually well-balanced, and the food does the same thing in small, snack-y portions perfect for pairing with tasty cocktails. My (kind of indulgent, but well-worth it) pre-dinner drinks order: - Lights of the Night Market (Ford's gin, Mal Bien mezcal, genepy, pandan, coconut). A great intro to how well the Salvadoran/Taiwanese flavors play together. The pandan is so pleasant here without being overpowering. - Run Bing with Nai Nai (Salvadoran white rum, Nardini rabarbaro, Licor 43, mazapán, oolong tea, lemon, milk, served with a little mazapán candy on the side). Nutty, beautifully balanced, sweeter than I normally go for but so unique and well-made that I didn't mind it at all. - The Big Chip and Salsa (tomatillo salsa, matcha chip): So fun and so tasty, a great small bite if you don't want real food. - Roasted eggplant pupusa (eggplant, squash blossom, gruyère, tomatillo). SO delicious. A really lovely mix of salty, tangy, and sweet! I'd come back just for this. - Plantain & hojicha tiramisu. Looked like a work of art, incredibly tasty but not heavy. The hojicha flavor is lovely and light and works so well with the plantain. It doesn't taste overly banana-y, which is always a worry of mine with plantain desserts. Overall, Providencia is doing something genuinely different flavor-wise than any other cocktail bar in DC right now and doing it extremely well. The cocktails are creative without feeling gimmicky, the food is thoughtful and delicious, and the whole experience feels intimate, cozy, laid back, and personable. The staff was so kind and helpful. Absolutely worth seeking out, and one of the first places I'd send someone looking for a great cocktail bar in DC right now.

Loved it! This place for sure has to be on the top places to visit in DC. My sisters and I were visiting from Virginia for here 30th. She saw this place on TikTok... Needless to say we were fans from the moment we got off the elevator, being welcomed with such enthusiasm and bright smiles by the guy and the girl behind the bar waving " Hey Y'all welcome to throw social". Being that our reservation wasn't for another 30/45 mins the receptionist (shay) suggested we chill at the bar. It's was no shock that the moment we sat down and got comfortable the bartender introduced herself & her coworker If I'm not mistaken it was "Nena" and "Corey" - she suggested we scan the barcode and take a look at the menu. I ask what's her favorite drink her suggestion was a lullaby. Corey yelled "All her drinks are bomb". My husband and I ordered a lullaby, and bourbon bramble. We also had the stake satay with chips and guacamole. The guacamole wasn't the best, but after Corey squeezed some lime in for us it was just as good as the stake. Overall it was a great experience at Throw Social, my entire family definitely hasn't stop raving; from the laughter, and liquid gold provided by the bartenders - to the level of service exemplified by the entire staff, you've made some loyal customers out of us! read more

I recently visited Throw Social with high hopes for a fun evening out, but unfortunately, my experience fell far short of expectations. Firstly, the food quality was abysmal. I ordered a few appetizers and was shocked by how bland and poorly prepared they were. It felt like they had been sitting out for hours before being served, and the taste was definitely lacking. For the price they charged, I expected much better quality. Secondly, the security staff were unprofessional and downright rude. Instead of making me feel safe and welcome, they made me feel uncomfortable with their abrasive attitudes and unnecessary aggression. It's unacceptable for a venue to employ such disrespectful individuals, especially when patrons are there to relax and enjoy themselves. And to top it all off, the prices were exorbitant. Not only did I pay way too much for subpar food and drinks, but I also felt like they were constantly trying to squeeze every last penny out of me with hidden fees and price gouging tactics. It's clear that their main priority is profit, rather than providing a positive experience for their customers. Overall, I would not recommend Throw Social to anyone looking for a good time. Save your money and go somewhere else where you'll actually get what you pay for. read more

We brought our company (20 people) for an afternoon of axe throwing and games and it was fantastic. The vibe/decor really sets a great atmosphere from the second you enter. Everyone was taking group photos, laughing, etc. Perfect ice breaker. The staff on-site went out of their way to make sure we all had a great time. Octavia upstairs at Throw Social definitely made it fun. We started downstairs in their "lodge" throwing axes and then went upstairs to Throw Social to play games, have lunch and more drinks. i would not have expected a build your own taco bar, but that's what we got and it was perfect for our team. There was so much to do and the atmosphere was very fun and comfortable that the team stayed an extra hour! Would highly recommend for groups. read more

We attended a free social event over the weekend, and we had a great time. The main dance floor was open, and we had to walk up a staircase to get there. There was a bar when we entered and another bar on the side with a different DJ playing various music. They had tables set up for a game that was first come, first served, so we could play while dancing and drinking. We didn't eat any food, but the drinks were very good. We found street parking nearby. The crowd was younger but felt mature. I liked the layout and would be happy to return for another event. read more

Sara and the staff including Cory and Bri could not have been more accommodating. Our entire team thoroughly enjoyed our time at Throw Social. Thank you for giving us a fantastic event! read more

Went here with some friends for my birthday and had more fun than I thought I would! The aesthetic is really cute and the bar moved pretty fast considering how many people were there. The staff was very accommodating to my group when we missed our reservation for football bowling due to a traffic accident on the way there. I just wish there was able to be more space for seating/tables. Our food also came out cold. Food/drinks are expensive. read more

I went to the Opening Night event with a few friends and we had a blast!! The decor is absolutely gorgeous and the vibe totally rocks!! We really enjoyed all the games---Axe Throwing, Football Bowling and Curling---and it was fun to see everyone else there laughing with their friends and people they just met. We were there for 2 hours, but could have easily stayed a whole lot longer. read more

If you EVER come to this location (and you should) REQUEST COURTNEY!!!! Somebody give her a promotion or raise!!! She was soooooososososooo fun and genuine.

Just wanted to take a moment to compliment the service we received from Cash last night. We saw that she was juggling a lot of tables and different people, and she was fantastic! I appreciate a server who does a great job, and she handled our table with a perfect display of relaxed competence. Well done! read more

This place is a wonderful environment. The waitress Erin is an amazing person. She went above and beyond for me and my friends. The ambiance is very nice and it passes vibe check. Hawaii blue is a great drink. Their steak satay was very delectable. Definitely recommend! read more

Great place. On the weekend. Opened late. Not a huge line. No cover charge. Great hip pop music. Dj is very engaging. Smaller but nice dance floor. Bar tender quick and attentive. They have couple of couches. You can chill. People watch or sit down enjoy your drink. read more

Came out tonight for a friends birthday and the server Elizabeth was really sweet. It normally takes a while before the servers attended to you, but it took Liz 10 minutes or less to serve us. The decor is beautiful and cute drinks read more

How awesome is this place. The colors and the self setups are great. It's so much fun. I accidentally dropped here after trivia and I'm so glad that I did. They had karaoke going on and all props to the DJ who kept the party going. read more
