Had A Good Time

The place is modern. The crowd was kinda pretty. The cute bartender knew how to make a good drink. Met some friendly people and we went barhopping. Cute DJ who seemed to enjoy his music more than anyone, but I eventually got into it and had a good time.

Loungey and LOUD

I lived on the same block as Barrage, and while it's totally cute inside and always full of cute guys, I rarely went there. The reason: LOUD music. In a lounge atmosphere, I expect to be able to sit and have a drink and chat with friends, but here, even though there's no dance floor, the house/techno music is pumped at full volume, so all you can do is scream at one another. Lots of potential though!

Fun with changing decor

This place has a cool happy hour, excellent DJs, and great shows. PLUS, they change the decor every month or two completely changing the feel of the place and making it feel like a brand new venue. The bartenders are also nice to look at. Good place to meet new friends too.
