by Lisa B. on I got a table for my friend's bachelorette party on a Friday night. After researching, this seemed to be a pretty decent club and a hip hop DJ was spinning on this specific night so I went with it. It is a 2 bottle minimum but I only needed one bottle since my friends don't drink all that much. I was told by the VIP hostess that I could do this but somebody could come in and buy 2+ bottles and out-buy my table from me so she sugguested that I buy 1 bottle of Belvedere and 1 bottle of champagne and I QUOTE "If you do this the table is ALL YOURS" (Remember this for later in the story) Of course I followed her advice. The price seemed a little steep since it was only a 750mL bottle but I said screw it because I was down to the wire. So we get there, and things are going great. We skip the line, get escorted to our really nice VIP table and booth. The table was really low to the ground so it could be used as alternative seating. We were a party of 8 so we had to share this table with the group next to us, which was fine up until the time that the table was being used as a dance floor. Their group was huge and overpowered ours so I said something to the boucer about them dancing all over our side of the table but nothing was done. I said once again screw it, we can still have fun...The place is PACKED! Music was good, vibe was good and then 1:30 hits and the VIP hostess approches me and asked if I minded if a group "used our table to put their bottles". (Later I find out that this is just a sneaky way of verbalizing that we would be sharing our already hella crowded space with a group of dudes!) I said yes at the time, sure...we will offer up our table space for the bottles to chill. Then, she escorts this group to our table and I'm like WHAT THE EFF? Now why would someone agree to share their table and limited seating with a random group of strangers they don't know....I was tricked! *sigh* It is what it is though. I guess you live and you learn. We signed our tab and left.
by Sandee Russon on I hadn't been in Little Baobob since a drunken birthday a couple of years ago. We ducked in for a couple of drinks before the Elite event at Bollyhood. The happy hour deals were incredible. 5 beers for $11.25. "Uh, I got this round." It's a great spot, and apparently they're starting to serve up fast Senegalese eats. Sounds awesome. They were nice enough to let me use the bathroom, after Bollyhood made the mistake of over-serving with only one toilet.
by Kristine d. on DJ played great tunes, early 90s hip-hop & r&b (tribe, jade, mary j"oh whut!?"), reggae/dancehall, some throwbacks... shalimar, songs that make you go "OH DAMN WHO SINGS THIS AGAIN??" (of course booty shakin' music "don't stop, git it, git it" crowd is ok, but we were there to dance so we got that quotient filled. One thing, DJ would play the whole track... i guess i'm used to the play one verse, one hook and next song. drinks were definitely watered down. (can i have some vodka with my vodka tonic??) I can see this place bein' a standby if you just wanna get up and dance. Can't beat a $5 cover!!
