by Alexandra R. on My boyfriend and I hit this place up with another couple and really had a blast, and though I don't know if I can entirely attribute this to Slide itself, here goes my review anyway... First off, it didn't take us too long to get in and there was no cover, YAY for that! We were going to go to Vessel, but the $20 per person cover deterred us. I will also note that there is a $2 per coat coat check with a very nice coat check woman, that we were happy to avail ourselves of. Second, the decor is super neat, and while the women's bathroom had no toilet paper by the end of the night (mostly because the drunk ladies apparently thought the tp would be more useful spread about the floor than on the roll.) when I first went in, it was nice too. My favorite feature though was a giant chaise lounge in the entrance area: I hate it when a club is so hot that you have to go outside to get any sort of relief; not so at Slide. The chaise provides the perfect place to sit and cool off when your feet ache and sweat is dripping off the end of your nose from dancing like a maniac. The bar tenders were pretty good, and I had a truly delicious greyhound towards the end of the night, but it took me about a fortnight to close my tab because the bartenders were more focused on counting the register than closing tabs. The tender also gave me the wrong credit card the first time, so be sure to check the name on the card before you take it home. My only real gripe is that though the DJ spun some good tunes, both new jams and some old favorites, there was definitely a good portion of music that left us yelling, "How do we dance to this??!" as we pretended to know what we were doing. All in all, fun night, good bar, cool crowd, fun location, I will be back here for sure.
by Elizabeth D. on National Mechanics is a great spot for beers. The food is pretty tasty and they have a huge selection of beer and specialty drinks. I always have a good time there. The bloody mary bar on the weekends is awesome! I only wish they had more waitresses - the few they have are terrific.
