Alot of people like this place. Some will even tell you they love it. The drinks are strong enough to knock you on your butt, which may account for said love. Expect to pay about $13.00 for that drink, by the way. Before tip. If you want to do trendy and expensive with aesthetically pleasing surroundings, this is unapologetically the place for you. Velvet rope, $10.00 or more to park(and trust me, you'll want to valet at night or on the weekends), good but expensive cocktails that are served with buzz-kill attitude(though I did manage to find a great bartender here that keeps me coming back) , complete with a bathroom attendant so that you even get the option to pay to relieve yourself. Try these guys for lunch during the week, because the food is actually good. Coffee bar and desserts are also quite impressive, though again, everything is served up by people who look like they'd rather jump off a bridge than wait on you. I'll say again, this place is incredibly popular, and every once in a blue moon, even I'll end up here with a couple of friends. The experience is sometimes pleasant, though rarely friendly.
Pros: People watching, sometimes fun, that one great bartender, lunch, desserts
Cons: service.
