Nice bar. Not for people who wanna have relaxed and quiet environment because we had to scream (and occasional Facebook chat). Especially during their happy hours.
Lychee Martini was good and waiters/waitresses were nice.

$4 lychee martini. Need I say more? When they have their $4 lychee martini special, I feel happy. The lychee martini was cheap and it taste good. It has a fair amount of alcohol in it as well. The vibe here is pretty cool, the people that come here are pretty cool. The inside is fancy and you will see mostly yuppies (young professionals). Their tapas is pretty decent. This is mainly a bar so food shouldn't weigh too heavy. The drinks are good! Have not been dissapointed yet.

So the decor is so-so, actually it's terrible. But clearly no one is here for the atmosphere. The happy hour drinks are $5 and decent. I noticed the Lychee Martini was quite popular. If you like Bloodies try one here, they use real ginger.

They offer small plates and tapas. I had the sake shrimp satay with a small order of coconut rice. My date had the five spice calamari, which was very tender.

This isn't the spot to meet a potential date, but the food is good and the drinks are strong. Despite the crowd the servers really stay on top of things. I really had no complaints. It's a testament to management that this place can still stay open in an increasingly changing neighborhood without charging and arm and a leg. I would definitely go back.

One word of advice, hire a DJ or get a better playlist.
