This place is definitely a joke. It wants SO badly to be hip, trendy and Hollywood, but it instead comes off as a frat house with good lighting. Cavernous and empty describes both the space and it's soul. Just depressing to be there. The management appears VERY young and inexperienced - just a lot of guys in cheap looking suits trying to do their best Sopranos impression. The staff in the bars, however, were competent and engaging (granted, it was a slow night). The food and the drinks are WAY OVERPRICED! I can tell that they're trying to acheive something more than simple bar food (it is tolerable in that respect), but this is not a restaurant! It's a GIANT bar! You can't be all things to all people - choose one or the other or be mediocre at both. That's what this place is - mediocre. At least there's actually people at Busby's.
Pros: Giant patio
Cons: Food, price, atmosphere, decor . . .
