Epic Bar

***************************** 1421 ***************************
Football season, I’m here to see clients and watch football. Their Happy Hour is pretty good till 6pm. The bartenders are always nice.
The food is OK, but the PHO is quite good and only $ 7.95. You can even order a Tomahawk here. They deliver from Zone 8 restaurant.
Love their lightings and many big screens here, good deal on beers, but limited on wines selection. I rarely see women here because it’s inside the M8TRIX Casino, but it’s quite safe because a lot of cameras and security, much better than the other casino across the street.

In our continued viewage of the ongoing WOrld Cup came here with some friends to see some games. We generally go over to the Sports Bar on the other side but because the US was playing that space was way over subscribed. The staff set up some tables for us (that’s good service!) just so we could eat and see the game. Got a chicken fried steak and witnessed Tim Howard single handedly try and keep them from getting destroyed by Belgium. Very cool that the staff were accommodating enough to let us setup shop here outside their normal bar circle. 3.5 stars

Miguel and Eliza are amazing individuals in their own right, but wow, they really know how to take care of the patrons. On separate occasions I have frequented them both and they both always have a great attitude and can keep a conversation going. They aren’t shy and and are both extremely professional.
Miguel, one day asked what kind of drinks I liked and concocted a make shift chavela with the ingredients he had readily at the bar and it was great. Tasted so much like those mexican candies that i ended up ordering 3 of them. If you see Miguel ask him to make you this with Modelo versus Corona.
The bar area aesthetic is pretty typical with a modern set up of a counter top wrap around smushed between two lounge areas with comfy seats. I like how during special sporting events they add tables to accommodate extra guests but the only real down fall are the small tvs. I don’t really have to mention the crazy ass chandelier they have, it speaks and looks for itself.
Still, this is a great place to hangout. It’s not too loud considering it’s in a casino with the constant clicking and slapping of casino chips surrounding you, I think personally it just adds to the ambiance.
Overall, I recommend drinking or dining here, whether your with some friends, a date or even alone. It’s a good place to blow some time and money. Beautiful people serving unique and typical drinks, whatever youre looking for, it’s here. Come. Now.

We wanted to try this place out based on the following reasons:
–Newly added Bar/​Casino
–Convenient location
–Attractive view from outside (Same concept of insects being attracted to light)
We ordered a few drink (Averaging $ 6-​$ 7 beers, $ 8-​$ 12 cocktails depending on alcohol) and it was apparent the bartender wasn’t really familiar with making cocktails. As we watched her make our drinks, there were quite a few simple errors that showed some inexperience.
After grabbing a few drinks, we walked over the the other sports bar and completely regretted going to this bar first. The levels of experience between bartenders from this bar and the other contrasts significantly. I don’t want to sound like a snob… but in this kind of environment, shouldn’t these simple things be aligned?

ah a bar on the floor of the casino how convenient for me to grab a drink. A specialty drink menu? Nice, but then it’s dominated by vodkas. The two cocktails we ordered was their cranberry daiquiri and the Mr friendly.
A slight spin on a daiquiri, nice give it a try plus i wanted to see their drunken cranberry. It’s just a daiquiri with a splash of cran and no drunken cranberry. I asked and there wasn’t one.
Mr friendly, a vodka based cocktail with lillet and orange marmalade. Sounds interesting but it wasn’t. a heaping spoonful of marmalade dropped into my martini shaken.
I like the attempt but i think they are a few executions short. On top of that, watching my bartender pull out glasses after glasses with lipstick on there just is heartbreaking.
The last thing and this something i hope they change. That chandelier light thing on top of the bar, please stop using the color white in the rotation. It feels like they turned the lights on in the bar and want you to get the f out because it’s closing time. Please stop killing the mood with this lighting issue.

This place is ok… drinks are somewhat reasonably priced ($ 12 for a MaCallen 12) but service is not so great… The bar maids have a slight attitude. Although I got a free bottle water because I waited for nearly 5 minutes to get a glass of water, that was nice of them. Maybe I was just in a particular mood that day. The atmosphere of this bar is quite nice. If you have a few drinks and close your eyes you can almost imagine that you are in a hotel bar in vegas… almost.

Great bar right in the middle of all the action at M8trix. The drinks are priced reasonably and so far the service has been good.
