by Michael M. on If you are looking for a low key place on the weekend for cheap drinks, this is not your place. On the weekends it's going to be packed, the drinks are pricey, and the crowd won't most likely to facilitate a good time. However, if you go during the week, it won't be as packed, and the drink selection is hard to compete with. Most of the bartenders are very good. Also, the happy hour is a great deal - half off cocktails. Again, the quality of the cocktails is excellent. You will be able to try drinks that you won't be able to get at a lot of other places. The music they play, for my taste, is fantastic, both during happy hour and later on in the evening. Finally, you have to know what to expect at places like this. If you are expecting to pay $3 for a drink, this is not the place for you. Also, it is going to be packed on the weekend with all the B+T crowd, just like a lot of other places. If you are OK with the location and are looking for great drinks, cool interior, and good music, you will have a blast. Again, you have to know what to expect. If you know what you are walking into, you will have a good time.
by Nydia Saylee on If Ear Inn was any better, I might be dead today. I went to this fine historic establishment last night for one of my many "last nights" out in NY with coworkers and I drank my face off. 7 (imperial) pints of Guinness and some fried dumplings for dinner, does not a good morning make. Although the dumplings were very tasty and probably saved me from uncertain death... I had a wonderful time last night. The bartenders were all very nice. Buybacks are frequent. The atmosphere is lively, but not crazy. And although it's as old as they come, it didn't feel run down and decrepit! I'd definitely go back and take friends, if I was staying in NY longer that is. One of the many reasons I'll miss this amazing city.
by Chanti G. on I would've expected better from an Austin salsa club. My first impression was that the cover was pricey ($7) and the atmosphere nonexistent. It has the feel of my granny's basement dance studio, not a nightclub. I guess if you really need your salsa fix, Copa might do the trick. But man, there have to be better places than this. This is Austin for heaven's sake!
