by Sterling Bost on (Hey, Jo!) I came here for my bday party in September, thanks to a sweeeeeet hook-up (thanks, Lawrence), and had such a great time! The karaoke machines are so 21st century w/ all the touch-screen options. Kinda difficult to pick up on but once you get the hang of it, good luck trying to walk away! I got the 30+ room which was a great size. There were 4 mics for our room so, thankfully, I was able to have 1 mic to myself for a majority of the night. (Maybe some people weren't so thankful, but what the hell do I care?) Bottle service was cheaper than anywhere I've been to, and the staff was really accommodating. We actually stuffed the room past capacity to the point where we had to leave the door open for folks to spill in & out, but there were no complaints from the staff/patrons and I'm pretty sure all my guests had a great time! We definitely partied like rock stars (as was obvious by the condition of the room when we left) - not to mention I lost my voice for about 5 days! Word to the wise: if your throat is even a LITTLE scratchy, probably best to NOT karaoke nonstop for 4 hours.
by Kieth Bukovac on dbar has pretty decent food, and super tasty drinks. Yet I am probably not going back anytime soon. It's hard to not feel awkward at dbar. There's no maitre d' to tell you what to do when you walk in. The decor seems to suggest it's a classy restaurant, and yet you seat yourself as if it was a diner. The staff (with the exception of bartenders) is generally stand off ish, with no intention of making you feel comfortable. We came for a late dinner and half way through our meal they started packing the tables to transition into a bar. Soon we were sitting there in the middle of the room as one of three tables hurrying to finish the meal while cruisers stare. Awkward! Probably didn't help that we were some of the youngest people in the whole joint. I guess the dbar is more for the "mature" crowd. The dark wood decor is very chic and strangely masculine, but like the service it's cold and unwelcoming. At least it's consistent, I suppose.
