Went here on a whim and it worked out!
My friend and I went here this past Saturday just to get a drink with my friend around 8pm. Â I had heard about Magnet before but never went there. Â There was no cover, Im assuming bc we got there before any party was set to start. Â The place was pretty empty, but we were ok with that because we didn't want to be bothered with a huge crowd. Â The drink options are good, we took a while deciding and before we could we ran into some more people that we knew. Â The bartender noticed we were having trouble so he made us a sample of a drink. Â He was EXTREMELY friendly and patient! Â I had to take my rating down a star because the drink I decided on he said he couldnt make b/c they didnt have all of the ingredients. Â We got up to take some pics, and the bartender took our group shot, he tended to us really well. Â Though, I took my review down another notch because the drinks though they tasted good, didn't pack the punch I thought they should. Â
This is a great neighborhood spot to watch the game, grab a drink, and not have to worry about large crowds. Â I left around 10, and there were more people there by the time I left, so I am assuming thats the time most people come. Â
I will definitely be back!
This place...I don't mind it. You can't compare it to a hot lounge or nightclub in the city obviously, because it's a local establishment and it acts as such, which I can appreciate. The food is peace for what it is and the drinks are good. Bartenders are always polite and I never get frisked by the bouncers to the point where I feel like I need to go file a police report, which sometimes that's how these bouncers who take their jobs too seriously tend to make you feel. My only gripe is the bathroom line which gets rediculously long since they only have 2 unisex stalls, but they're always clean. All in all, for a cool local spot that calls for no bridge tolls, crazy parking fees, or cover charge - I say Magnet fits the bill.
Review Source:I just came back from my baby shower which was held at this spot and I am highly UPSET!!!!! So much so that I had to log on and write my review NOW. I booked and communicated with one owner who assured me that everything would be great. I even called and confirmed with him the week of the shower and again he said everything is taken care of.
The day of the shower we were told to be there for 11:00 to set up. We get there and the spot is closed. The manager finally comes and the place was FILTHY, sticky floors, leftover cake from the previous party, dirty bathrooms and all! The worst part is that they did not have a crew to clean and my decorating crew had to clean, who does that.....
When my husband spoke to the second manager everything we agreed on with the first manager was completely the opposite and we had to change the flow of the event.
If I could give this spot a negative 1 I would. DO NOT HAVE YOUR EVENT AT THIS VENUE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE DISAPPOINTED!!!
