Empire Lounge

Went for New Years Eve. Pros: Beautiful venue and great music. Mostly latino music, but played a bit of everything. Servers and staff were friendly and mostly attentive. Cons: Paid a high cover charge while the venue was virtually empty, take with a grain of salt as it was NYE and Covid is out here. My group purchased a bottle of whiskey and ALL of their soda was flat. The worker said the machine wasn't working correctly and had to offer us juices instead. Would've preferred to get cans or bottles of the soda at that point. Can't imagine what would've happened if we bought individual drinks. They only had two flavors available for the hookah. They did not do any refills on coals or a discount to get a second round. Had to repurchase the hookah for full price and it didn't even last as long as the first time. They tried to rectify by giving us a third hookah, but the third one died even faster. It was pretty disappointing to spend all the money we did to get the service we received. Doubt I'll ever go back, but if they can remediate the cons you may have a better night than I.
