Incredible experience! Nightcapped our Valentine's day here and the drinks and vibes were immaculate. Plenty of room to dance and hang. The complimentary arcade games were a highlight. They had two shows of great dancers to MJ and Beastie Boys that were iconic. 12/10 Recommend

Really neat speakeasy-esque spot. 80s themed decor and vibe. Cool for a drink or 2. Believe you need to get a bottle to do karaoke which is kind of a bummer but makes sense if you have a decent sized party.

Had a horrible experience with the DJ (old man with glasses and white hair). My husband was being polite to the DJ (willing to tip him for the song). Requesting one!!!!! Only one song!!!!! He pushed my husband after his encounter with him. DJ said "I play whatever I want" after he already agreed to play at least that one song. Even the bouncer said the DJ is a rude guy. We came all the way from TX to have a good time. Left very disappointed in how we were treated. Will not recommend this place. Don’t waters your money. Music was not even good at all.

Really cool hidden gem in K-Town. Cool walk in experience. You immediately walk in to cool vibes and 80’s music. The ratio men/women is great. Cool singles spot or even to take a date for a chill experience.

Stepping into this place felt like accidentally time-traveling straight into the 1980s and I mean that in the best possible way. Neon lights, big energy, great music, and the kind of vibe where you half expect someone to walk in wearing a Members Only jacket. The drinks were solid, the crowd was friendly, and the whole place had that perfectly chaotic "let’s have a good time and not overthink it" energy that a great bar needs. Special shoutout to the go-go dancers, who absolutely brought the party. Tons of energy, great moves, and they really kept the room buzzing all night. Honestly, they deserve their own round of applause. If you’re looking for a place that doesn’t take itself too seriously, plays great throwback music, and delivers a fun night out with a little retro flair, this spot absolutely delivers. We came for a drink and ended up staying way longer than planned which is usually the best sign of a good bar. Would definitely come back… preferably with bigger hair and better dance moves next time.

This speakeasy you go through a side door, the hallway has storage items , you get to a vend machine were you enter into the bar. The dj plays 80 music , 80s decor, they have some old game machines you can play for free on, drinks are great I had a mule and lemon drop , and they had (2) performances at 12am which was great. Definitely a place to check out. Also if you went to go to another place the same building but in the front has a lounge called Kiss Kiss Bang Bang , also a fun spot.

Went on a Saturday night. Be prepared to wait in an extremely long line with very young 20 something year olds. Very packed inside but if that’s your vibe then the music and ambience is very cool and retro. The cocktails are just alright. They could be more tasty. They also have hidden rooms you can book out for karaoke and some live dance performances on the hidden stage behind the bar. Enjoy!
