by Carry Fugueroa on Been here on saturday nights when it's just a club (south beach) but looking for a partner to go to during salsa night!! When I first got here i was impressed at their cute little patio and lights everywhere outside which is a big contrast to the industrial warehouses around the area. The music is way loud and was so hard to hear someone talk to me. I appreciated all the drinks being bought for me, until I realized it was an Adios MotherF***er, and by the end of the night I was trashed. Kind of sceevy way for men to get women to dance with them but whatever. A free drink is a free drink? haha ANYWAYS.... The music in the club is pretty good however I couldn't help buy get annoyed every ten minutes when someone would step on my foot. I enjoyed the overall atmosphere and would only go in a big group with some friends. I find it best that way.
by Michael E. on I love this place if only for the scenery; truly like being an extra on the set of The Sopranos...."woke up this morning, got myself a gun." The decor is a hoot and probably original to the 1950s, as are some of the patrons. Not a window in the place - perhaps it's the casino "they'll spend more if they can't tell what time it is" theory or maybe it's to keep you from escaping once they've realized you're behind on your payments on that loan you took out from the owner to pay your gambling debts. I tell ya, the naugahyde on these booths has seen more action than Lindsay Lohan and you'd swear Frank Sinatra was singing in the lounge instead of just playing through the 30-year-old speakers. Oh, and the food, right, the food - it's delicious and authentic (although my Italian mama disagreed, but she doesn't like anything, so take it with a grain of Parmesan). The mussles are amazing and I seriously wanted to drink the juice they were swimming in directly from a wine glass - it was THAT good. Your waiter is bound to be named Luigi or Mario or Big Pussy - just roll with it and enjoy the most excellent pizon watching this side of the Atlantic. Hey is that guy getting rubbed out in the corner? Ciao bella! Honestly, could I throw in one more Italian stereoptype? I can, cuz I am.
by Arnab M. on Great space and a great choice for the summer kick off party. Extra points for the best company of fellow rateclubsers and YAY for finally meeting a whole bunch of other rateclubsers. Minus one star because Tali A. and I had a hard time finding this place since the "218" is obscure and there are no signs, until someone on the street noticed that we were completely lost, clearly, and directed us towards it. Ohhh, the caffeinated vodka, interesting, got me buzzed and awake? But I'm not quite sure. The DJ was playing good music, and kudos to Sam P. and Russ W. and everyone else who helped organized the event, it was fab.
