Editorial Review for a+ – by Andrea Loera

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.

Insider Tips

Look Good

Even if you aren't coming straight from work, dress to impress. The evening crew that stops by before and after the club scene are usually head-to-toe fabulous.

The Extras

On weekend evenings, the occasional DJ spins a mix of lounge music and jazz ideal for clustered conversations.

On the Menu

A+ offers a Sunday brunch which includes two courses and dessert.

Happy Hour

Happy hour is daily from 4pm to 7pm, with $2 shrimp tacos or calamari, $3 beers, $4 wine and well drinks, and $5 margaritas.

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.

What an amazing happy hour menu they have and some GREAT drink prices! Shrimp tacos.. yum! Such a great place to go for an after work or evening event without a whole bunch of minors and a very trendy crowd. Try the lavendar martini, it's one of my new favorite drinks. I have found the perfect place to hang with the perfect crowd!

Pros: Signature Cocktails, Happy Hour, Crowd

Cons: Valet Parking
