Worst place to go on any night

by osss

The service is a joke, the bartenders double charge you quite frequently, which I am thinking of reporting them to the City Attorney's office over, and the crowd is a blend of college dropouts and trailer trash. The owners are a joke and do what is contrary to keeping business coming back, which would be attempts at actually being nice to their customers. I wish this place would have gone out of business instead of Ruby Lounge, which was actually a classy place for Addison Circle. It's too bad this is the only bar in Addison Circle. It's no more than a place to be robbed and to be treated rudely in the process. I think the bartenders, save for the only pretty female there, are drugged up losers who are so mad at their lot in life that they are jealous of anyone who looks halfway successful in there and treat them like sh#*. I have never been so rudely treated by staff at any establishment, let alone a sh*# hole bar like this place. I have chosen to spend my money elsewhere right down the street. Chaucer's is much better and a better class of people in there. Cheaper drinks, too.

Sux. Go to Sherlock's, If You Want to Start a Fight

by endobiont

Try it for yourself. If you like screaming, idiotic, fat and fugly chix, come here. They will be passing out in your lap and on the concrete outside.

  • Pros: The Addison PD is never around when you are drunk off your B..TT
  • Cons: Bad food. Terrible service. Stupid bouncers and chix galore. No smoking inside. Patio closes at 10pm DAILY.

Zen Bar: Sausage Fest with sprinkles of Chicks

by ozo

This place isn't too bad. They have great priced drinks on weekdays...um...after 10pm. So if you have a job it's kind of off your list already.

As for the weekend vibe? It gets semi-packed. But it seems this place is only a stop off point for most girls who have various other places to attend to if it's not hopping. That means you're left hanging out with guys for most of the night watching ESPN highlights on HD. Beer and liquor prices are medium to high ($3.50 for beer, 4.50ish (single) for liquor). Waitresses are hot, but every guy should realistically know thats not going to pan out.

Overall, it could make a great place on the weekdays and a great stopping point on the weekends, but nothing to waste your whole night at.

Oh and I did leave the bar once during an altercation of a resident (who lives above the bar) and the police. They were complaining because things were too loud. But come on....do people really have to be that stupid about the situation? It's a big metroplex, and you had to choose the apartment right above the bar. And if the bar came after the move in, one could always chose to move out!

  • Pros: Away from Beltline traffic
  • Cons: crapshoot on crowd, and if they will stay the whole night
