This place is over rated. Drinks are great. The DJ is the worst on the planet. He picks his own music that no one else on this planet likes. He is one of a kind. Literally no one else cares what he's playing aside from himself & his 2 buddies. If you're looking for good music you're wasting your time.

Great drinks but sadly the worst DJ & music on the planet. No idea what it is. Don't go there if you're looking to just chill cause it's so loud & it's awful consistent beat. No need to have a DJ there. Unsure why he was even hired. I would not go back.
