by Santo Sontag on If there was a 10 star option, Little Baobab would earn it!! You spend the summer working, living, breathing, learning and experiencing Tanzania and you want to rekindle that spark so far away from your second (or third, or fourth made home) where do you go? Here of course! My admiration for this place comes from all the reminiscing it had me do and yet there were a bunch of others that were loving their night here as well. Standard service perks that make this place even more amazing: -Like a dufus, for the first time in my life, I forget my ID, and yet, I was allowed to enjoy my night inside -The workers and clientele have a not from around here vibe that I am naturally drawn to -The bartender is super lax, friendly and awesome: 1. We ordered Soju and Pineapple (They were out of a few other concoctions) and as we sipped them down, he poured the extra for us! 2. Our favorite song was playing and after we took a shot we went to go dance without paying yet. The bartender took us as honest and said "Don't worry about it" with a smile when we went back to pay and apologized. -Drinks were really reasonable: mixed: $7, shots and beer $4-5 each, even in SF! -The DJ played P SQUARED! Do ME! Yessss....! He also played music form the Congo that we saw performed LIVE in TZ! It took us back in the best ways possible. While he didn't have Beanie Man and some others, he did suggest bringing it to play next time! The music is unique, cultural, and great! -The crowd is very international. Traditional men dance circles that just make you think..."They are so born knowing this" and "I have no cue how they do it!" -They have a self serve water station! The bar lines weren't so crazy this night...but what an awesome idea! -Even the DJ came to dance! This place is chill, relaxed and fun. If you're not sweating by then end then you're just not into it I guess...too bad for you. -Bathrooms not equipped with typical soap but dish soap will do the trick. This establishment has moved a couple doors down to a bigger location...plenty of room to dance now. Its called Bollyhood Inc, I think.
by Pierre Hagadone on Awful Awful Awful..... I went there for a friends birthday party and was shocked. $5 to get in to the club, and you have to be on a guest list, but if you aren't on the guest list, it's still $5..... What the f? That just makes getting into the club so so difficult and confusing. Then once your inside the club it's full of over-aged white women, showing off their side boob, trying to dance to Biggie and Kayne West. The drinks are extremely priced and there is only one bathroom. There is no ventilation it gets dreamily hot inside because of white people attempting to dance. I was not a fan. Horrible Music, Ugly/mean crowd, expensive and lame!!!! Never again..... unless I suddenly turn into a marina doosh bag and need to get away from my office job and kids to shake my ass with some sweaty 40something man on the dance floor..... yuck
