This place is always packed... mainly because it's so small. If one of your favorite bands is going to play here, you're guaranteed you'll see what the band members actually look like. The Casbah also has a pool table (in a separate room) and a bar right next to the stage. So drink up while swaying to your favorite song.

This place may not have the best food, but their martini's are by far the best I have tasted so far. Go to Videonary.com to watch the video of the martinis. Just go to http://www.videonary.com and search for Galileo 101. By the way, here is a direct link to their video: http://www.videonary.com/videonary/merchant/getMerchantDetails.html?merchantId=381
PROS: Best Martinis
CONS:

We went with a group of 4 for restaurant week. We had an amazing table out on the terrace area, and the views are just amazing. We has the tombo, the crab cakes and some hamachi sushi, and it was all pretty good. Not fabulous, but pretty good. And the views and old-school, comfortable, service-oriented ambiance was worth it.
Pros: Cool views and ambiance
Cons: OK food

Ragin' gay bar. Regulars of all ages and stages. Newbies welcome. Sensational bartenders who know how to pour and parlez. (Dave, Jeff, Gerald, Andy, Michael are the best!) Plus, the price is right! The emphasis is on stiff drinks, made right, served efficiently, consumed in a fast-paced atmosphere amidst very social people. 90% men (okay, 98%), but women who frequent (and behave) feel welcome and appreciated. And I'm a woman (for real). Love you guys!
Pros: strong drinks, cheap price, very efficient & friendly bartenders
Cons: not enough seating on busy nights

Islands offer a casual, fun atmosphere. The food is great and though the menu is small, there is a variety of items to choose from. If you dont like, burgers, chicken sandwiches, salads or soft tacos, this will not be the place for you. Parking is easy to find, and the prices are a little lower than other restaurants of its nature.

Downtown Johnny Brown's is a bar and restaurant. The food is okay. On Thursdays there is a happy hour where they serve Long Island Iced Teas for a very reasonable price. Johnny Brown is a nice guy and you can flip for drinks with him. Be forewarned that if you lose, you pay and he picks the drink, which is usually Jaegermeister.

Very trendy fashionable spot. Threw a party here and was very happy with the look and feel of the venue. Great potential.
However we did feel ripped off. We paid a per hour / per person drink price. A waitress approached me and four guests when I arrived and we ordered drinks. We still did not have them over an hour later after we spoke with three other staff including a manager, bouncer and server. The manager was not apologetic and reminded me that we were paying by the hour, not the cocktail. That wasn't at all relevant at that point, I just wanted any drink, even a soda would have been nice. I was finally able to obtain my first drink an hour and twenty minutes into the party. This was a large party that filled the roof deck and it was embarrassing not to be able to get a drink. The bar was open for us but they made the drinks ridiculously slowly so a long line formed. It is definitely better to pay per drink here at this was obviously a tactic. As a host I needed to greet people and chat so it was impractical to stand in a long line or chase the staff for a drink as my own staff ultimately did.
Pros: beautiful setting
Cons: very poor service at a private party

Great location on the corner, good size, nice atmosphere, BUT no live music. The bartender told me only DJ's - get real bands - no cover bands - that area should support real music - any type of live music is better than some hyped up DJ

My nephew is in toen visiting from Hollywood and out of curiosity we ventured into the Bamboo Lounge to see how the establishment had changed from the Tea Shop we use to visit a couple of years ago. We use to venture in there when we had friends do a show from time to time.
The remodling has been exquisite. The atmosphere is so welcoming and the staff are extremely helpful and nice.... We had each a drink and for starters ordered a humus platter, great food!!! And the prices fit into anyones' budget.
I highly recommend everyone to pay a visit to the Bamboo Lounge, you'll be glad you did!!
