Editorial Review for Tonic – by Tom Geck
In Short
Funky velvet couches and artful metal chairs fill this stylish little lounge. The bar itself takes up nearly half the room and is backed by two large mirrors, perfect for patrons to check out that hottie at the end of the bar. This place is relaxed and enjoyable on weeknights, but crowded and a bit of a meet-market scene on weekends. Service is always attentive. A jukebox and a lone (rarely used) TV provide the only real diversion. It's all about upscale drinks, conversation and picking up.

This is a cute, little neighborhood bar. it's dark and small and usually gets crowded towards the evening. Nothing really special about it though, although the bartenders make a decent drink. There are better places to go to, but if you are on Polk St. it's worth it to stop in for a drink...then move on.

Fairly boring bar with terrible service. The bartenders were about the slowest I've ever seen, and weren't friendly. I left my credit card there, only to find out the next day that the bartender had added a tip of $1.50 per drink!! Who would pay so much for such terrible service? I wish I could make $1.50 every 30 seconds to pour a beer! When I asked to talk to the manager about it, he wasn't there, and the next day's bartender was "new" and didn't know how to fix it. I was never able to contact the manager, so I gave up and let them steal my money.
Pros: nothing above average.
Cons: poor charachter of bartenders. Music too loud.
