You must, I repeat, you must try the Pineapple infused sake. I kept mixing it with the regular sake and I had a tasty time. Glad we took a car2go to get there (designated parking spot right around the corner on W. 2nd) and cabbed it home afterwards. I've been there twice and hope to return again soon. They have awesome happy hour prices before 7 p.m. and also a late night happy hour after 10 p.m. even on the weekends in Downtown Austin!! The first time I went there I had 3 Happy Hour rolls, an order of hot edamame, 2 beers, and mochi balls dessert and my bill was only $25!!! You gotta go. I recommended them to @SushiGirl_ATX and follow them at @BarChiSushi on Twitter. Tell 'em @DebKnowsAustin sent ya!
by Ashley Marie L. on Came here on a Friday night & had a blast!!!!! There's a parking garage across the street which is awesome. No cover charge & the wait in line was no longer than 10 minutes. Walked in and *boom* there really is a slide that you can slide down to enter the club in. Being that I was in a dress, I took the stairs. I love how this place looks inside. The decor is pretty & the set up is great. My only complaint about the set up is the bathroom being in the waaaaay back, and the night that I went it was ridiculously crowded, so it took a lot of pushing, squeezing, and "excuses mes" to get to that bathroom. The bar area is really long, thank goodness, because like I said, the place was packed. One star did get taken away for 2 reasons. Reason 1- the music was a little too techno-ish for my liking. Thankfully my friend knew the dj and dropped him a hint and the music changed for the better. Don't get me wrong though, he was a good dj, just not my style. Reason 2- the crowd- wack!!! Older, seemingly wealthy priviledged people. Rude. I don't know many times I elbowed people or shoved them because they just pushed past me like I wasn't there. This place is great, I'm looking forward to going back! Such a fun club, definitely recommended.
by Gertrudis Figuera on I've been looking for a place like this. Sometimes you just want to jump on your laptop and sip down some cocktails, right? Well this is the place to do it. The bartenders were decent, you can always get a seat, and the drinks about an average price. ..Then they started playing Creed tracks. WTF? I almost want to knock a star for that. Either way it's convenient if you live nearby. I wouldn't see myself going all the way to the TL to come here, but I won't knock it for that. At least the atmosphere is pretty cool.
