This place is a major red flag! I am a business owner, my partner is a police officer and my friend works in corporate. I will begin from the beginning because there are too many details to leave out. We went to this place for the Colombia/Panama game. First, the basics: They charge $20 for parking. Then the door fee is $10. Then you have a $40+ minimum food order per person requirement. The Hookas are $25 and the refills are also $25. You can not bring a vape inside as they will make you throw it out. Even if your vape is 0% nicotine and they do not offer 0% nicotine hookahs btw. While we were there, the tables had no seating. It was all standing the entire time. I did write this exact review upon learning about the chairless tables because it blew my mind. A while later, the "manager" came and found me to ask me to remove the review because "it's looks bad for them". I explained I didn't write anything but the details of what we paid and the facts of what the environment (with no chairs) was and he still wanted me to remove this information. It was so important for him that I take off the review, that he removed almost $100 off our tab from our food and our first round of drinks. Fast Forward to the end of the game and we asked for the check.The TIP IS INCLUDED already in the total and the server will still highlight the bottom to get you to tip more so pay attention. RED FLAG ALERT: The center of the check has a section I've never seen on a check before. It's asking you for a separate signature to agree that they can charge you additional fees and you agree to not dispute the additional charges with your bank. NEVER SIGN THIS PART!!! There is 100% no addition charges they need to charge you for that isn't already listed on your bill. I refused to sign this area so the manager brought a much older guy down to tell me to sign it and when I again refused, they physically ripped a beer out of my partners hand and a bottle of water out of my friends hand, which we already paid for. They pulled the table out from us and told us to get out. The bottom of the table has a hook for your bag or your jacket and my partner had a sweater hanging there and they wouldn't allow her to retrieve it. The unprofessionalism and rage of this place is alarming. I will never return here and highly recommend you go elsewhere. There is a lot of shady behavior here and they do not stop trying to extort money from their customers and they probably get away with it because when everyone is drunk, no one reads anything. Food is dry and the drinks are small but pricy.

My first time here for a friend’s birthday and won’t be coming back here so disappointed of the place since I had heard good reviews about it but worst experience EVER!!! It was Thursday 12/16 so it was not crazy pack to begin with and this waiter Antonia was so not attentive at our table or orders or anything… We ordered our drinks and after giving the first sip all we tasted was mango with water no alcohol and her explanation was “oh those drinks are already pre-made and we have a machine that controls the amount of liquor so we can’t add or change it” we went along and then told her we were ready for our food order after a whole half hr wait. She came by and took only one order of one of my other friends and ignored our orders even after a friend told her excuse me we ordering also and she walked away so we had to wait another 20 minutes for another waiter who passed by and kindly took our order. After our first drinks we decided to just order another one and not order any other drink once our food arrived. Antonia then came by we asked her if she could bring a dessert after our meal for my friend who was celebrating her birthday and a shot she comes back after 20 minutes and said they had no desserts. We asked her about the shot and she said she had forgot. The food was ok can’t say it was that bad but then our bill came and they charged us an extra patrona which we never drank, an extra margarita which we never ordered and they did bring it to our table but told Antonia that was an extra and she took it with her. The shot she had told us was on the house since she had forgot about it and yet still added it to the bill. Thankfully we reviewed the bill and she said she would go back and fix it. Very disappointed with this place, do not recommend this place at all!!!!

WORST experience in my life. What a birthday weekend of HELL. Brought friends from HOURS away and was so ashamed of where I brought them to. Went for a birthday dinner with 5 people and kept being pushed to buy a bottle for every FOUR people. We chose not to buy a bottle because we were eating meals and no one drank the same kind of liquor anyway. The waiter as well as the lady that sat us said it was ok. Long story short, we spend a little over $500 but were constantly harassed because we were “the only table with no bottle and had to CONSUME MORE LIQUOR”. $500 and literally being told we had to consume more alcohol. We individually all had stupid special drinks which were like $30 or more and were being made to drink more. We don’t live 10 mins away nor close enough to uber, so as we continue to keep paying money while being there we’re literally being told we’re not consuming enough alcohol. Our poor waiter is getting in trouble for not SELLING more liquor to us, but how much more liquor can we take?!? It’s just so sickening to me that I literally had to spend my birthday weekend out with my friends being completely uncomfortable, forced to drink way more than what we even wanted to and not even being able to enjoy the vibes because our waiter kept getting reprimanded for not over selling and had to come by and continuously letting us know it. I’m so bother and upset at how the night went and will NEVER be going back to this establishment nor will I EVER recommend this place to anyone. It’s disgusting how they treat customers and DEMAND them to drink without caring the slightest bit for their well being. Disgusted. So upset I can’t even.

Super disappointing. Planned to come for a friends birthday and heard good things. Had no idea we were visiting a money hungry over zealous bar. We texted and asked before coming what the cover was so we can plan accordingly. We were told the first floor was completely free and the second floor was 20. We made our way over and paid for the Uber got through security only to be told the first floor was 50 minimum per person (meanwhile we’re a party of almost 7) at that rate we could’ve gotten a table in Hoboken or Jersey City. We explained we had spoken with someone over text not even forty minutes ago who insisted there was no extra charge for the first floor. She asked us to wait on the side to make our decision as she could not accommodate us further. We then decided as a group it would be best to just pay the 20 and go to the second floor as we had never been here before and weren’t willing to dish out 300+ we told her we would pay the 20 and she all of a sudden hits us with there’s a bottle fee for each party based on their size. Ultimately decided to just eat the money for transportation and go somewhere else. BE MINDFUL of coming here as they obviously are not advertising appropriately and will try and get as much as they can from you before even entering their facility. (Text for proof)

Amazing brunch spot! Super fun, cute aesthetics. Their brunch is about $45pp and includes an appetizer, main, small dessert and unlimited mimosas (they have nonalcoholic options too. I had the pina colada and it was really good). To get the most out of the experience, plan to stay a few hours.
