by Peter H. on So, I'm 20. I have slim pickings when it comes to dance clubs. When considering the lesser of two evils (the plaguing question: Ruby Skye, or Blow Up?), I was inevitably rushed in for my friend's sister's birthday. What a joke. Is there a dress code? Why are the dancers wearing furry boots? This is not Furry Con. Where were the downstairs bartenders--are they cutting costs? I'm thirsty! Why can't you bring a drink from upstairs downstairs? I felt a little micromanaged and bullied by the bouncers and by, ahem, I forget the name for the men who stand around looking tough and watching girls dance. I was making out with a guy I am dating, and a little Asian girl invaded our intimate moment, belting and rateclubing, and eventually kissing us on our cheeks and demanding, "Kiss! Kiss!" The crowd was unbearably juvenile. There was yelling in the wrecked bathroom, which I thought only happens at the Cow Palace. There was a gigantic puddle of water that made me ponder over the unfortunate individual who has to clean up after these children. And lastly, the price for admission made me consider all the other things I could have spent my $25 on. This is not a pleasant sentiment.
by Michal Mohabeer on I was skeptical after reading some of the reviews but it was good I did. We parked in the pay ($5) lot across the street from Lucky and that worked out fine. There's some dark alleys around there so be smart and pay to park in a well lit place. The Food: Awesome! We had a couple of rolls of sushi and it was really good. And we're sushi snobs. There's not a lot of good sushi joints in this town. The sushi here is worth it! Very unique. The atmosphere: Cool, chill kinda place. Mix crowd of well dressed folks out for a night on the town. Didn't seem pretentious to me which was nice for a change. The music was very good and not too loud. The video screens are entertaining. The service: we read a lotta things about the service here but I gotta tell ya we had a great server named KEVIN. So if you go, request Kevin. He was very attentative to us. Good service is hard to come by these day so we let him know we greatly appreciated his service and tipped him handsomely. BTW, there was no wait at 10:00 for dinner. Walked in, sat right down and had a drink on the table within 7 minutes. Nice! So check it out
by Dawn M. on trudy's, your food really blows. and i'm not sorry about it. i hate when friends want to meet there. that means i will get drunk on a crappy mexican martini because i refuse to eat the shitty food...then wake up the next day with a hangover. i even make an effort to order patron in my martini and it still tastes like jose cuervo. i feel i'm getting duped. the queso even sucks. how can you fuck up queso? this is austin for crying out loud!!!
