Great location, lively atmosphere, hip decor. Those are really the only good things I can say about this place. Food was meh, white sauce pizza was terribly bland, fried lobster tail entree was overpriced for what it was, and the veggie panini was prob the tastiest thing I tried. Service was friendly but super spotty. Most entertaining thing of the night though, some drunk chick got really angry at someone in the bathroom and kicked a hole through the paneled door. Classy. There are a ton of other, much better, restaurants close by that I'd rather spend my money and time at.

Man the reviews for this place on rateclub were AWESOME and so helpful. Here is what I took with me when I went/before I went: (1) buy tickets online (2) if you don't (because they were sold out in my case) come early... seriously.. be in line by 500pm you'll have to wait in two lines. One to buy your ticket and another to get in. (3) be prepared for long lines (4) go first to the planetarium because it does run out fast (it is free) (5) you can dress casual or on the dressier side--- more people were casual Hmmm.. that's about it. This place is awesome. Why not go at night where it's more than half off the regular price, minus annoying kids running around, plus booze, plus a DJ, plus cool animals, plus a free show. It's a cool experience where you can mingle with an older crowd. I'd come back.

The reviews of the decor and ambiance at Jake's Dilemma are all accurate, but noone's posted the really helpful information, IMHO: a breakdown of the drink specials! So without further ado: - Tuesday night special: 2-for-1 drafts - Wednesday night special: Ladies Night ($2 American drafts or $3 well drinks) - Thursday night special: pitcher of shots for $10 ...and I can't remember the rest, but if anyone wants to remind me (Monday was some sort of Happy Hour...?), I'll gladly edit my review...just trying to do the world a service. Also: the music was awesome for this kind of bar--definitely aiming at my generation (a mix of Beck, Presidents of the United States of America, Bush, etc...) p.s.: if you're the guy who was wearing the shirt that said "Beer Drinkers Get More Head" last night...for shame. (And if you weren't that guy but you are a guy: please, don't *ever* be that guy.) pps: this is not actually a cool bar. But it succeeds at being what it is, which is a crappy bar (as other reviewers have noted). Hence, the four stars...
