I went last night with every intention of hating it and being dissapointed, but had fun despite myself. But it was certainly not the same... To me, its the exact same vibe of going to the Farmer's Market on Faifax now. You can disappear momentarily in the old school feel, but always get snapped back to the harsh reality of the Grove and its neon soul-less hell... It simply can't hold a candle to the old venue... They had more decor out than I expected, and the drinks were spot-on as always... But here is another dissapointment for me - drink prices went up an average of $2-3 for ALL drinks since I was there two months ago. Drinks now range from $13-17... But the new drink menu did include the specialty drinks from Dallas (the Star) and Scottsdale, and a new Beverly Hills drink which was like a tiki mojito. Damn good. Those were new to me... But for the drinks, especially if they add Happy Hour prices, I'd go back... I guess TV knows that if you give a heroin addict some watered-down methadone, they'll still take it....
