On the weekends they sometimes play some old school late 90's rap and r&b but it is a great dance and meeting place. Great atmosphere.

Pros: Great music most of the time

Cons: Gets crowded

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

I used to go here for Happy Hour with several co-workers. Their Happy Hour deals are great, and we'd often stay even later (aka--spending more money). That all stopped one night when we ordered some drinks 20 minutes before the end of happy hour and were charged full price. When we confronted the waitress, she told us "happy hour goes by THEIR clock", then proceeded to ask if I wanted another "drinky-poo" and make fun of my order to the bartender. As I shared the story with my co-workers, she came and put her arm around me and asked if I had a problem. We then put down our money (minus tip) and left. We never went back.

Not a super chic bar but a fun one for sure. all kinds of people, beautiful, trendy, alternative, older, whatever. its for everyone. good loud music sets the atmosphere and the drinks I've had have always been good... and strong. but they are spendy. an AMF is 8 bucks. love the outdoor seating and people watching.

Pros: outdoor seating, unpretentious, hotties

Have your beers ahead of time, fifteen clams a pitcher can be a real drag, unless your wallet is getting way to heavy to carry around. Great place to see a show otherwise.

Pros: Good Stage View, Decent Sound, Quick Service

Cons: Drink Prices, Parking

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Wife and I went here, and had a great time. Friendly atmosphere, good vibes and all around good feel. Were the 40+ crowd and we melted in with the 20's people greatly

Pros: Friendly

This is an awesome location w/ great potential. The artwork on display in the restaurant is always uniquely attractive bringing a modern creative element to the classic layout. Bar waits tend to run long, with the service ranging from great to down right rude! The happy hour food and free pool are worth dropping in for. I look forward to seeing this place reaching a balanced state.

Pros: excellent space, crowd variety

Cons: pricey, rude service, long waits

Berbati's has to be one of my favorite venues in town, the stage set up is cool, the sound is great, and the bar is excellent, with great bartenders and wait staff. The atmosphere is usually mellow, but can vary depending on the music on tap for the night. The food is also quite good, especially after a long night out. The variety of tables allow for people to sit and enjoy the music, and if you get bored of the music, there are games in back to keep you occupied until your favorite band takes the stage. The crowd can be a bit chatty at times during shows, but the space is large enough that you can usually find a place to go to get closer to the stage, or get a better view.

Pros: stage/sound, atmosphere, tables

Cons: crowd

I've only been to the resturaunt side of this establishment, but that was enough for me to see that this place has it together. If you looking for some good food late at night, this place is for you. Good food, resonable prices, laid back atmosphere, and non of the large crowds.

Pros: Good/Fast Service, Great Atmosphere

Cons: Drinks can be Pricey
