  They have good bands, good music and a nice atmosphere. The couple of times I've been there there has been a decent sized crowd and live music that was excellent. The patio is big and comfortable and people are able to smoke there since it's outside. The bar staff is not particularly nice or friendly, and it can be be difficult to get drinks given the crowd at the bar and lack of table service, but this is still one of the better bars in Waukesha right now.

  This place has great potential, but unfortunately about 10% of the clientele here are among the worst low-life's in society. I've been there twice in the past few months-- the first time they had to stop the music and turn on all the lights so the paramedics could try to revive and then haul away some older woman who fell down and started having seizures in the middle of the dance floor. The world throughout the bar was that she was high on ecstasy and OD'ed and had done that there once before. The last time I was there there were a dozen or so african american gang bangers there who said they were from the south side of Chicago. Bar security is good enough, but when the bar closed they were all out on the street prowling the area where bar customers were waiting for taxi's and started pushing people, insulting them and making threats. I got the distinct impression that they were trying to provoke someone (anyone) to retaliate so that the whole mob of them could beat someone down. Fortunately each of folks I saw being assaulted could see the trap that they were being drawn into and didn't make any attempt to defend themselves. I had forgotten my phone at home that night or else I'd have called the police the minute I saw that happening.
