by Mathew S. on Went to Carnival my 2nd time and it was quite a disappointing experience. My friends and I had been there right when Carnival first opened and it was great! There was no cover, a really awesome magician/hypnotist, jugglers, sword swallower, tranny balloon animal artist, and a 2 gallon liquor drink!! The same friends decided to plan a big get together to re-experience this awesomeness. First, we were told it opened at 7PM, but we get there and they tell us they don't open until 9. Next, we're each asked to cough up $10 for a coat check/entrance fee that includes 5 game tickets. Then we see the menu, and all the prices had gone up by about 20%!!! No magicians, sword swallowers, balloon animals, or jugglers to be found. The guys working behind the game booths were very obnoxious and even insulted my friend. Will not be going back here again. The only thing keeping this place alive is the b&t crowd. Shame on you Carnival for doing me so dirty 2nd time around!
by M G. on Not bad for Friday nite. The crowd is sociable and friendly. Upstairs is hiphop music. Downstairs, they plays top40s & trance music. The bartenders are gorgeous. Drinks are strong. 1 to 2 drinks could get you wasted. There is a cover charge for $3.
