In Short – Formerly known as the Sam Bar, this trendy lounge just blocks from the Main Street district reflects the modern stylings of the updated boutique hotel. With glossy brown leather banquettes, cozy seating and vibrant accents, the contemporary atmosphere is conducive to lounging. The solid oak bar offers up creative cocktails and classic lounge martinis. Bartenders and cocktail waitresses are easygoing and meander deftly through the tight space when groups of 30-somethings cluster around the tables.
Great!
by josc
Amazing new menu for lunch and dinner. Great place to go for an after work or evening event with a very trendy crowd. Can't pick a favorite drink!!
Nice Bar but quiet...
by JRandGlenn
We visted A+ on a Monday around 7pm. The bar is nice with a beautiful wood floor. The bartender was cordial and our Martinis were good. The drawback was that they were 2 other customers in the bar so it felt like we were sitting waiting for something exciting to happen that never did.
Fake reviews...
by bigtex2003
If you click on the reviewers, you'll see that all 4 of them reviewed the same 3 places on the same days and gave cookie cutter great reviews! Ok, if you can't get reviews from customer and have to fake review your own place, that probably just means the place isn't worth reviewing in the first place.
- Pros: ?
- Cons: Fake reviews.
