And, of course, there are the required big screen TVs everywhere playing music videos. There’s a DJ Booth (?), a couple of video game machines, a Get-It-Your-Own-Damn-Self popcorn machine, and stairs to the dancefloor / restrooms … all behind the bar. There are small tables to your immediate left, a big cushy couch and seating in a nook next to the entrance on your left, and standing room only along a rail to your right. The first floor is dominated by a large circular bar ringed with barstools. It’s a brightly lit alley, clean and clearly visible from the street … no problem. It’s in an alley? Really?

He laughed saying "damn did he put anything in yours" He offered me to taste his and immediately I was like "WTF" It was like the guy put all the alcohol in my friends drink. Checking to make certain it wasn't just me, I asked my friend to taste it. We both ordered the same drink, but right away I noticed my had more chaser than anything else. After standing at the bar with no one in front of us, we finally get our order taken. Getting in was pretty creepy, the guy eyed our ID's forever. The reviews were nice and it was close to our hotel. Our first night we picked Green Lantern as the spot we'd hit up.
