    Waiting outside for venue to open
    Karen W.

    This is the first time I've come back to this location in over 8 years. This bar was previously called the Era Art Bar and Lounge and I used to go there for shows. Now 8-9 years later, I'm back because my friend's band was celebrating their 10th anniversary at this same location where they used to perform! I was curious about how things have changed. So I got together with friends to celebrate the band's 10th anniversary. We all took uber there and the place looks great after all these years. The small stage is now a spacious spot for seating a large group and we sat there. The band played on a small portable stage set up in front of the windows. Drinks are served in plastic cups. We ordered two Lagunita IPA's and two Moscow mules! There is plenty of seating on the second floor and in the back of the venue. The floor was perfect for dancing and watching the samba dancers perform as well! Great place for celebrating the anniversary of our friend's band and for the samba dance group's anniversary as well! I hope that my friend's band will come back here again to perform!

    I thoroughly enjoyed the music on both floors. It was lively and I had a great time. This seems like a good spot to go dancing.

    This place is great! The drinks are delicious and very affordable. Service can be a little slow at…read moretimes but that's completely understandable since it's usually packed. Making drinks for a crowd takes time and the staff always does their best. The people who come here are super friendly which adds to the welcoming, cozy vibe of the place. It's the kind of spot where you instantly feel comfortable. If you love a good martini this is definitely a place you should check out.

    I'll give it to them, Tallboy is a solid concept with their "tinis & weenies". However, a clever…read moreconcept can carry a place so far. Customer service is a close second to concept. Tallboy's martini menu is well-executed. While I didn't personally try one of the slushies, a friend ordered the espresso martini version and gave it a solid thumbs-up. Unfortunately, the experience falls apart when it comes to food and service. Waiting 30+ minutes for two hot dogs (after paying) is hard to justify. When I checked in with a server, she was curt and dismissive. She was quick to explain there was only one person in the kitchen, with no effort to offer a solution, timeline, or even basic courtesy. I understand staffing issues happen. However, customer service is a close second to concept. How an issue is communicated and addressed is what separates good service from bad. What's more frustrating is that these aren't customer problems to absorb. If the kitchen is understaffed, if tables aren't being cleared in a timely manner at a seat-yourself spot, those are management problems. Guests should not have to choose to leave without the food we paid for. There's a lot of competition out there, and concepts alone aren't enough to bring people back. I genuinely wanted that hot dog. That's probably the most disappointing part of the whole experience. Great drinks, solid ambiance, but the service needs serious attention.
