by Sam K. on I dreaded coming back here because of the bad memories, but since it was a bday, i decided to make a cameo. The plus is that the guys outside the door didn't act up like the previous time I was there and they politely ask me to keep my beenie off my head while inside. Oh yeah, no cover since you make up for it w/ the drinks, lulz. long story short, chicks luv the the champagne and chambord . .. a lil too much imo and I don't recommend getting Cadillac Margaritas since the bartenders don't know how to mix drinks ... just stick w/ beer, champagne and you'll be straight Drinks were average +/- $12 and there weren't as many cougars as before ... just hongkong nights Anywho, if you want to rub elbows w/ other pretentious peeps , play grab ass in the basement and want to hand them a lawsuit since the last step to the basement is a like a mirage because they removed the light at the landing, well, this is the place for you.
by Aaron F. on Last year I held my birthday party at Dragonbar and I got guest list for 100 guests, no prob. This year, I decided to change it up and try a different spot. I'd been to Roe before and thought the place made sense. Convenient geographically, reasonably priced drinks, and a decent space. I told them we'd have around sixty and the list wound up growing to around 100. I did not get a VIP booth or bottle service, but I generally figure bringing 60-100 people would warrant some kind of pleasant service or attention. WRONG. We arrived at 9 PM to make sure anyone who got there early wouldn't feel left out. We go inside only to find out that they "closed" until 10. Well, I'm hosting a big birthday party. Too bad, they tell me. Go next door to ThirstyBear. You mean I can't even sit inside and relax at a place where I'm about to celebrate my birthday? Alright fine. We go next door, grab a drink, and come back. Checking the guest list apparently is a difficult task because checking each person took literally 30-45 seconds. With 30 people in line, some of my friends are waiting forever to get in. Again, whatever since most of them got in. I ask to see the owner/manager who helped set up my list and the coat check girl says he's not in his office. Well can someone tell me where he is so I can at least say thank you for the list? Later on I'm making sure people are getting in, but the guestlist team is attempting to set a guinness book record for slowest service. Two of my friends are trying to get in but since the line is so slow, they may miss the 11 PM cut off. I ask the bouncer can he please help, since we just brought a ton of business. I know he can, since the people entering just have to look like Kim Kardashian and be willing to cop a feel and make you look good. He says no without even blinking or considering a second thought - which is good, because he needs his one thought to keep breathing and standing simultaneously. So several people got forced to pay because the line is so damned slow. Let's point out one good thing: during the night the dj played the "Mini Sirloin Burger" song from Jack in the Box remixed into a hip hop session. That was awesome. But he kept cutting off other songs after 30 seconds each. WTF. I was a fan. But now I am very much a non-fan. In fact, because of how little engagement the staff here has, I am going out of my way to make sure everyone in my social circle knows how poorly run this place is. I PRAY and HOPE that the managers/owners here reach out to me because we easily dropped $600 bucks (probably more) here as a group. We didn't have to. We could have gone to a lot of other bars or clubs. There's no need to make our experience so bad. And when a lot of people complain about guestlist, you better start paying attention.
