Sat, 08 Oct 2005 07:26:47 +0000 http://www.bloglanta.com/archives/81#comment-187 I was there a week ago and will not go back. The music was fine but the service and business model were not. I was only there for the last part of the final set -- around 25 minutes. I had two drinks (the required minimum) and the bill was over $30, $7 of which was an "entertainment fee." I can deal with overpriced drinks but I'd rather pay a cover charge up front than get hit with a surprise fee on my bill. I tipped around 30% anyhow as the bartender was new and seemed like a nice guy, but he didn't even thank me when I left. Next time I'm in the mood to get fleeced I'll just hit the strip club down the road -- at least I expect it there. G.B. I was there a week ago and will not go back.
