I have been going to this place for years. It used to be one of my favorite places to go on a Friday or Saturday night. It is no longer a good atmosphere. It has changed. I went on 11/26/10 to see Big Shot. It cost $15 dollars per person to see them play for about an hour. The drinks are overpriced. It is not a safe place for me to drink, because for some reason, there is always some guy who wants to fight me. I can't figure why. Port Jeff is an expensive, white, upscale neighborhood. It has happened to me three times, and the first time that it happened, I did not drink because I had a blood test in the morning. Be ready for a fight. I took my girl there, and while I was dancing with her, there was some other guy grinding up against her from behind. Do not get drunk there, it is not safe to do so. The people that work as bouncers are mentally retarded. They are seven feet tall and retarded. Don't expect any help from them. The last few times that I was there, it was so crowded that you cannot get anywhere. Not to the bar or the dance floor without bumping in to someone. And then they want to fight. It is a sausage fest like I have never seen before. A packed in, angry sausage fest. If you do go, you need to have a few drinks to make this place tolerable, but be very careful not to drink too much. I have never had any one start a fight with me in any club, and I have been to several in Manhattan, Queens, Nassau and Suffolk. This is no longer a safe place to take your girl if she wants to go out clubbing. If you go, please heed to my warning, and be careful on the stairs.
