by Rochelle P. on Mashed music which can go from cool remixes to drag endless techno beats. The ambiance was good . The crowd was very SOMA-ish. The drinks weren't too bad though pricey. The upper level got a little too crowded and claustrophobic after a while. Three stars and not four, all thanks to having to line up outside for a good 30 minutes before we could find our way in....building the anticipation, eh?
by John H. on This is a pretty chill spot with a good beer selection. Surprisingly, very few people seem to know about it. It sort of looks like a museum from the outside which adds to its uniqueness. The interior is pretty cool too. The service can be slow at times but, eh, you're at National Mechanics, no rush.
by Thurman Rhinebolt on Charismatic Kat's Cafe I began my Friday as usual, things to do, people to see.... I was mostly excited about visiting Kat's Caf, since my schedule seems to never allow it. So I grabbed a friend and we headed over to Kat's Caf, we were attending a friend's birthday celebration and they were offering Afri-Salsa lessons, Yippee!!! You must try Afri-Salsa, it's so much fun, I'll tell you more about that later, back to Kat's Caf...What a warm, sophisticated and inviting spot, I met Kat a few years ago and she's truly an inspiration to me. The caf is very intimate, 2 cozy fireplaces, separate rooms, a great place for a first date! Start your weekend on Thursday, calling all vocalist, musicians, a jam session at Kat's, show's at 9pm. The Caf offers Martinis on Fridays for $5, delicious $3 appetizers, $8.99 Snow Crab Legs, and DJ Larmarrous spinnin' eclectic beats, get there between 5pm-9pm for the drink and food specials. Can you believe it, there's NO COVER! Just so you know, Kat's Caf is between 9th & 10th street, tucked away underneath the Helmet Salon, it's in the same spot formerly occupied by Jake's ice cream. Now get dressed, find a date, meet and greet, singles welcome too...and head on over to Kat's Caf, you'll be glad you did!
