by Eric G. on This restaurant looks nice from the outside, and is fairly nice inside, but it was the poor service and bad crowd that really ruined our Saturday night dinner. After waiting 30 minutes for our table (which was reserved), we waited outside in the cold for 1 hour (yes - 1 hour) waiting for our car to come from the valet. During that time, there was a girl fight and the Police came (very classy). We had such a bad experience that I cannot recommend this place to anyone.
by Alex C. on Yes, it's Sixth Street. Yes, the bar smells like, well, a bar. And while the prices aren't great, they're not terrible either. This is, in all, a pretty cool place. There's tons of pool tables - more than 16, I think - darts, foosball, shuffleboard, air hockey (it's upstairs in the game room), a few old school arcade games, a PS3, XBox360, and a Wii. The pool tables are well taken care of; good shale and nice felt. The cue sticks could be better, but I suspect that's more the customers' fault than the bars - I'm always able to find a fairly straight stick. The prices are a bit higher than Slick Willies, but you're on Sixth Street, not bargain hunting. They're still well within reason at $12/hr for 4 people on a Saturday night. You can also venture up the (huge) staircase to either the game room or the lounge area (if its open). The game room contains the aforementioned air hockey, PS3, XBox360, some of the arcade games, and the Wii. I prefer this area to hang in - it's quieter, provides a lot more seating space, and is less crowded. It's also nice not to have to move out of the way every three minutes when another pool player needs to put her queue stick where you're standing. The Wii is a great party device. Contrary to what my namesake Alex M. mentions, the nunchuck controller is available for the Wii - you just have to ask for it. They have Guitar Hero 3 for PS3, and several shooter games, including Halo3 for the Xbox360. A nice touch? The console systems are free to play - there's no charge for sitting on the Wii for two hours (like we did), or hitting up Guitar Hero for a bad rendition of Jump by Van Halen; you just have to give the bartender your ID or credit card to hang to in exchange for the controllers. There's an upstairs deck that's surprisingly badass - it's pretty cool to look down on the Sixth Street crowd, especially on a busy night, Nawlins style - plus, it's one of the few places on Sixth now where you can go and smoke a cigarette without leaving your beer behind. The Lounge area is pretty nice as well - large, huge projection screen for ballgames and such, and plenty of comfortable seating. The food served is moderate - neither great nor terrible - but prices are fair and the portions are good-sized. Not bad if you forgot dinner or just need a snack. The staff is reasonably friendly, though I did wait longer than I should've on a slow night for my beer when the bartender just disappeared. It took me long enough that my friend texted me to see if I'd left without him.. In all, it loses a star for not having slightly better pricing, that ever present smell (clean up, guys!), and slow service, but it's a pretty cool place. A nice chill night out or warm up for the night of craziness, either way.
