I almost lost my drink as people pushed past me to get through the crowd. The live band got everyone up and dancing, and the bar was bustling, with a line of people waiting for drinks.

Three stars by no food and limited alcohol selection.

Not the bar's fault, of course.

Good bar but the bouncers are a bunch of big dumb idiots. I understand why though because they never really had any direction in the first place and it's... read more Good bar but the bouncers are a bunch of big dumb idiots.
