Deloreans

I went into this place not expecting very much. I had read reviews that said the drinks weren't very strong and saw that it was located in a depressing strip mall. Nevertheless, I had so much fun that night. The 80s decor was a little cheesy (so is the name, then again) but the music was spot on. I was expecting your typical Madonna and Michael Jackson hits but was pleasantly surprised to hear some rare dance tunes and plenty of Prince. I talked to the DJ after the bar closed and he told me that they play more pop/hip hop 80s on Saturdays (which is when I went) and more new wave on Fridays. He randomly threw in Will Smith "Gettin Jiggy With It" when the lights turned on at 2 am but that was actually fun to dance to in my drunken state. The crowd was mixed in age and the dance floor was pretty packed. The drinks, by the way, were perfectly strong and CHEAP. My boyfriend and I ordered 6 drinks between us and our tab was only $18. The only thing they could do to improve it is to add James Spader to their women's restroom which was plastered with pictures of 80s men. Come on, Corey Haim and no James?

This is a weird spot for me. We came in one night, hearing it was "the cool place in town" to be confronted with an 80s apocalypse. It is top to bottom, front to back 80s. Like someone took all the 80s stuff and put it in this place to store... and then someone turned it into a bar.

So it's actually pretty rad, if overstimulating. You can play OG nintendo here, gaze upon the glowing face of madonna splashed on the walls or ogle the hot 80s studs on posters in the bathroom. It's also a place that I think will get trashed really quickly if the valley has anything to do with hit.

Regardless, it's at least different and not another restaurant/bar that people seem to favor in McA. I'd take Deloreans over chilis or Buffalo wild wings any day. The drink prices are steep -- especially for what you're receiving, it's really loud and when I was in there, it magically became club delorean at some point, with people packed in like sardines and dancing. It's worth a couple of visits but I think it would get really really old after a while.

Three words...Watered. Down. Drinks. I ordered vodka on the rocks and still tasted no alcohol.  This place is awesome but that just sucks. Stick to beer and you can have an awesome 4 star 80's night.
