by Olympia Heggen on I usually like the places that so many rateclubsers do, so I was more than happy to go with the plan when a friend suggested we hit Bob bar on Friday night! Also, I kind of like the sound of the name. Bob. Bobbiddy bobbity bob bar. We ate at the newly opened Aamchi Pao in the west village, and our spirits slightly dampened by the rain and the mediocre vada pao, we headed to bob bar in 2 separate cabs. Cab 1 with 4 of my friends reached at 10:40, and the remaining 5 of us landed up five minutes later. We were charged 5 bucks cover. My rating always drops half a notch for a place with cover, so we're standing firm at 4.5 stars. We enter, and order drinks. Weak. At 3.5 stars now. The place is about 10% full. Then I realized that they hadn't charged our friends any cover! Nada, nothing, zero. I went out to pick a bone with the bouncer. He shooed me away, mumbling something about charging cover when the bar crowd exceeds some fixed number of people. Unless that number is 12, I'm not buying this story. 2 stars and no more. Boo. I might come back here to give Bobbidy a second chance because the music was decent, but not anytime soon!
by Epifania Schoolcraft on I think Slide has a really neat concept. The whole speakeasy thing is really cool. I've been disappointed the few times I've been here because the slide is always closed :( I think entering a club via a slide would be pretty fabulous. The inside is nice. It's really dark. The drinks are good. It can get really hot on the dance floor, but that's the same with anywhere. This place is definitely worth experiencing, but it's nothing I would deal with more than once every few months.
by Talib K. on they should give breathalyzers at the door and require everyone to be twice the legal limit to enter. you gotta be more than buzzed to enjoy this place. grease pit doesn't do it justice. but just like a well run business, they know their clientele and they cater to them. i took one look at what my friends ordered and decided not to eat. but they enjoyed what they had; over and over and over again!
