What People Are Saying About Vertigo

In Short
Dim red lighting, lazy overhead fans and tribal masks decorate the front of this neighborhood hideaway, dominated by a carved, altar-like wooden bar. The lush South Seas theme continues in a cool smoking patio, which has a fountain, foliage and red vinyl bar stools. An extensive drink menu features exotic concoctions, many which are big enough to share, like the Volcano for four. DJs get the crowd fired up with everything from Johnny Cash to electronica.

This is such a cool place. Perfect spot for dancing. Very cosy. Nice crowd. The bartenders are very friendly. They serve pretty well. Good job for this place. :D

This is the spot to drink and dance. Usually the good clubs are crowded but this spot it perfect. Also the drinks are awsome.

This bar is cool since it's right down the street from where I stay. They have a smoking lounge (says it's a patio, but actually indoors, which is nice) for smokers like me... They have a great happy hour, and 4 for $10 Jello Shots 24/7! Can't beat that! There's also dancing with a pretty big floor (for this part of town) but it gets packed on the weekends. The bartenders serve quickly and with lots of friendliness, despite large crowds. If you can squeeze your way to the counter, you'll get served quickly. Pros: Great deals on drinks all the time, smoking lounge, dancing, diverse crowd Cons: Gets super packed (and I mean PACKED!) on weekends during peak bar hours, doesn't take ATM/Credit cards for tabs (but there is an ATM inside for withdrawls :-)
