by Fredric Slatin on A ton of fun! Went for a friends birthday and danced until 3 am. Prices are typical of a bar, but Tuesday nights (80s night), is a great night to go. Have a ton of fun and met a lot of new people. Definitely check it out!
by Chris Miricle on It's funny the way this aquarium is treated by residents. For years, people from Atlanta made repeat drives to Chattanooga to visit the closest aquarium we had. And they didn't make this trek once; they made it multiple times. Even my school here once got in on the action, taking a bus load of screaming kids over a hour north of the city to look at fish and touch sting(less) rays. Thanks to some great tourism planning, those screaming kids and adults who wish they were mermaids can drive - or take MARTA - in less than 20 minutes and have the same experience. To anyone who complains that it's just a big tank with fish in it, I'm not sure what you're expecting. When I hear the word "aquarium", I think of a tank with fish in it. You're getting exactly what you should expect! The Georgia Aquarium is different than it's rival to the north. You don't have to follow any set path here. If you want to see sharks first and otters second, go for it! Prefer belugas and then touch tanks? That's fine too! Staff is also friendly, and the fact that the ones that staff the touch areas can put up with kids AND adults breaking the tank rules with a smile on their faces says wonders. Kudos, staffers! The exhibits themselves are different, and while the wildlife inside doesn't change much, they are fun to visit on occasion to see what else you can discover. I work during the week so I can't exactly confirm this, but I've heard that if you can go during the week on off-season (i.e. NOT Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years) you will find yourself in solitude and able to fully enjoy watching these animals fly through the water. If you have a party or conference, my mom tells me it's funny to sit there while belugas stare in through the windows, or perhaps a little stalkerish. Either way, she enjoyed the space, so that's another great offering here. Lastly, they're going to have dolphins in a few years. That's right. DOLPHINS. That automatically makes this place freaking awesome. The only bad thing is that food here is expensive, but that's to be expected. There is a restaurant connected to the aquarium that ironically serves seafood. Classy! So should a resident go here everyday? Probably not. Is it worth it for tourists? If you like learning about fish and Georgia natives of the natural kind, yes. Really, the place is well done and tries to keep it fresh. Or salty, depending on your watery needs. Ha.
by Alex L. on Again like many bars and clubs in Boston this place falls short of being even remotely fun. They try WAY too hard with the whole image of being "the place to be." The bouncers are overly arrogant and jerks (like 99% of all bouncers in Boston.... seriously this city has the absolute 100% worst bouncers in the entire country). I've been here 3 times and the crowds are as bad as the bouncers. It's a bunch of wannabe cool kids. I'm at the bar ordering myself a drink and some girl comes up wondering if I would buy her and her friends drinks, uhmmm how about no? Then there're the guys that mean mugged me because I was at the bar first and I got served before they did. The music was good but mixed very poorly, no flow from song to song, and it was noticeable. Saint is a place that tries too hard and fails miserably. I wouldn't even consider bottle service here because the table area is basically the dance floor, or in the other room where nobody really ventures anyways. This is one of those really cool looking places that just sucks a whole lot because of the people who run it and the people who go there. Edited because I went tonight (dragged), and because by popular request people wanted me to rip on the idiots that go. First off I'll rip on the guys. I felt like I was on the Jersey shore. I never saw so many shitty Hollister type t-shirts and hair gel in my life. Hollister t-shirts are not cool and are not expensive. Then comes the women, ROFL. Wow... The average age of woman going to Saint is about 65 (probably 35 or so). It's really fucking sad. I swear to god, I spoke to 3 girls tonight, all of which had kids, and they were younger than me (I'm almost 25). Then the other girls are made of plastic, their bodies are fantastic, but their faces look older than my mom and that bothers the shit out of me. On top of that, the Asian girls that go there are the dirty Asians, YOU know what I'm talking about. Anyways, Saint sucks.
