My friends and I were regulars here for quite some time. We knew the staff, the bartenders, and made some great friends there. It was an awesome place to go on Friday nights to blow off some steam with some great people, and some fantastically handcrafted drinks. Time got away from us, and we lost someone close to us. As part of the healing process we needed to revisit some of our regular places where we had some wonderful memories. Last night was that night.

We walked in, and saw that there was no "guard", and the curtain was open for anyone to just waltz in, taking away some of the exclusivity that was part of the charm. We paid our $10 Cover for $10 in chips. We went to the bar, and found one of our regular bartenders there, but the bar was noticeably different - absent were the herbs, infusions, and craft cocktails that we had come to expect. What was told to us was "The owner doesn't seem to think the idea provided a good ROI". The place was pretty deserted, there were a lot of new dealers, who seemed apathetic to even do their jobs well.

Unfortunately, we will be searching for a new bar to hang out with friends at until things improve here.

We mistakenly stopped here last Friday night thinking speakeasy/gambling for fun was going on but found this is only on Saturday nights.  That said not sure why they open this place on Friday nights as it was dead and staff as another reviewer points is pathetic.  The bartender was rather inattentive preferring to joke around with his coworkers.  I was particularly disturbed that the cook or chef came behind the bar and to drink and grab ass with bartender.  I would suggest that if you aren't going to manage the place than just close it.

Went here for my cousins birthday. Didn't know what to expect. It's in a mall in South County, within a bar behind a curtain. It was cool to feel like you were the VIP but once inside it looked just as manufactured as the mall. You get to gamble, but not for real money which just seems pointless. The drinks were expensive, they put a hold on my credit card for 4 days which sucked. I wanted to like it so bad but it just didn't have that charm I was hoping for.

All in all the night was fun but I wouldn't return.
