Empire Restaurant Lounge

Went here for a friends birthday and was amused.   Loud dance music pumping all night with lazer lights for you clubbers which is fine.  This place feels the need for 4 people at the door to let you in, not really sure why.  We arrive and the guy tells me that its a $20 cover for me and $10 for my wife because there is an event going on.  Apparently the event was that a DJ that is popular for playing other peoples music was there, mind you, our party consists of about 20 people and since we came after 9 we had to pay the cover.  Whatever... The plus side is that the girl that we had waiting on us was on top of it, she seemed to show up exactly at the right time, every time.  Service was really good.  $4 per Corona is a little pricey though, especially for paying a big cover to get in.   I'd rate the place one star, and our service 4.5 stars if I could separate them.
