by Jacqualine Keels on HIP AND LOW KEY I would give them a 5, but the vintage music was so loud as to prevent me from having a conversation from people less than a foot away. Had an excellent Argentine malbec, a Martin Fierro, and a dark Irish stout which, I realized upon being served, was a 24 oz. chocolatey meal unto itself. 5 dollars for a glass of wine and 8 for the huge hand-crafted beer. There was no shortage of peanuts/pretzels or water and lighting was perfect. The crowd tends to be young, educated hipsters. Take a date and enjoy the atmosphere, but plan on a wait for a table on weekends. There is a friendly white cat who lives around the bar who just adds to the atmosphere.
by Anthony W. on I grew up going to this place as a hang out spot. I'm just old enough to remember Roy Rogers, the drywall tunnel that is now Kmart, the fountain/stairs where GameStop is, JCPenney in the basement, the boardwalk fry covered columns in the Gallery I food court (pre-Gallery II), the ORIGINAL Tiffany's bakery location, The Strawbridges' bakery and food court, and the BACK entrance to the 8th street El stop. It really was cool when I was a kid... so young my mom had to take me. Since 2001, I've had nothing but complete disdain for this place. It's an embarrassment. I hate seeing tourists in there when there are much better shopping options nearby. I think the damage is done. Short of a complete shutdown and renovation I don't see it ever making a comeback. It's good to see that Tiffany's is still around though. Overall, it's a homeless haven now. I'll always have those fond memories of the 2nd and 3rd floors of Gallery I. It was like a nightclub for kids. Beautiful girls working at every store (that mattered), prices on sneakers and clothes were negotiable, rappers and sports stars would stop in at times, and I always ran into someone I knew. Circa 99-00.
by Caron Kierzewski on Well I thin I'm just spoiled. That must be it. I've been rocking bottle service and vip tables in La and hollywierd for the past 6 years now so when I got here it was kind of a throw back to my younger days......Then I saw the packs of cougars and old dudes roaming around. LOL Where do I start, oh me oh my. The music is good, the sound system is freakin great. The crowd wasn't my speed but nothing really wrong, just different for me maybe a bit ghetto. The cougars walk around in diva club wear so they're almost naked and throwing around some dangerous looks. HaHa Beware. I wound up here on an invite but had a great time with my friend and her lil group. So long as I'm out with friends I always have a great time no matter where I'm at. We make the night, not the spot!! The main bar in the front is way over crowded so take a 10 second walk towards the stage and hit one of the bars on either side. I don't like that they don't have bottle service. I drank $118 bucks worth of drank by myself and wasn't even on the doorstep of being buzzed yet. My buzz don't start till I'm halfway down the 2nd 750ml bottle of goose. LOL. Yeah, I like to drink! It's my sport of choice. The crowd was definitely there to dance but with the bouncers not being selective or controlling the in flow of crowd it gets pretty packed and sloppy. Lots of people spilling drinks on the dance floor and on people dancing next to them but no fights or to much hostility, all in good fun. I think this is a good spot if you're going for the music more than anything else. There's also another room downstairs with a bar, more private and hidden. The only down fall here is the lack of seating. There's like 10 tables in the whole place that seat 3 each I think. At least they close later, 2:30am. Don't forget to buy a  yummy TJ dog across the street when you leave!!! It's you're turn now, go try it out and let's hear what you think. LOL.
