In Short
Batik tapestries, bright paintings and Christmas-style lights line the walls of this small, hybrid nightclub-restaurant. A DJ spins lively grooves nightly and things can get extra tight on the tiny dance-floor--even once the handful of dining tables are cleared. Chalkboards behind the bar list selections from three drink menus and it's common for the staff to be dancing almost as hard as the fun-loving patrons.

If you're into trying new things baobab is the place for you. The dishes are African inspired, Senegal to be exact. The prices are fair (about $10-13) and the food is actually really good. I had their chicken kebab and it was cooked wonderfully. They even have a tofu option!

Last Saturday I went out with a group of girls for a Bachelorette Party. After dinner we stopped by Little Baobab for some dancing after hearing how much fun it was there. There were 7 of us total. At the door we were told there was a $5 per person cover charge. After a little haggling with the doorman, he let the Bachelorette in for free and charged us $25 for the remaining 6 of us (a big savings of $5). After we got in we noticed that the drink list taped to the bar stated that ladies got in free before 10:30 on Friday and Saturday nights. After looking at my watch, I noticed that it was only 10:15. I was a little irritated that we had just paid $25 to get into a bar that was no bigger that my garage. When we asked the doorman that had taken our money about it, he told us that "tonight was special". He couldn't tell us what was special about that night nor was it a holiday. On top of that, the beer that I ordered had some type of goey stuff on the bottom of the bottle. After wiping it off with a napkin, I smelled by hand (which was a big mistake) and it smelled like it had been sitting in something nasty for quite some time. So needless to say, I left there feeling taken advantage of, dissappointed and disgusted.

It was really fun, they had great music and a really chill vibe. it wasn't too crowded. The drinks were a little expensive but it's to be expected.
