Went for the 1st time on a Sat night 🌙 ( 12/3/22) Someone's private bday party had ended not to long ago . For 2 people I avg $28 for 2 drinks including the tips. I recommend the Piño Coladas , those things were dangerous! ( good af ) tbh im still feelin them ! The DJ was good, able to smoothly blend all genres of music together (House music, bachata , hip hop , Reggaton etc) . The crowd was mostly Black and Latino, on the older side. Everyone was in their own little zone, everyone seemed to vibe with the music . I saw people eating food and it was pretty late in the night. Parking was right out front. Recommend if you are going out with a small crowd . read lesstbearChicago 3/09/2023
