BarFly's Review of District (CLOSED)

Now Closed! See Jinx

Glittery, downright pretty, new lounge appointed with plush, romantic touches - a grand crystal chandelier suspended over the black marble horseshoe bar, canoodle-friendly ottomans - set the scene for a sizzling date. The mood may be spoiled by spotty service and an unreliable kitchen, but give them a chance to get their feet under them - it's still new enough to be working out the kinks.

$5 menu 3-6pm M-Sat, 10pm-close M-Th, and all day Sunday.

LOL

This place is ok at best...but it does provide some of the best people watching in the Pearl. All of the bridge and tunnel folks driving in from the Tron and Lake O bobbing their head to the outdated house and techno. Lots of fake tits and split ends scamming guys into buying them drinks while old dark haired Cougars (yeah, that's right, you two bitches, you know who I am talking about) trying to relive their glory days when their tits weren't dragging on the ground and their asses weren't so cellulite ridden. And the guys, well, a bunch of meat heads who think they are fly because they bought a button up shirt on Clearance from Nordstrom...OH YEAH, the drinks...well, Red Robin bartenders make better cocktails...so only have one but sit it out for the comedy which ensues!

good starting point

Early for our dinner date,we popped into District for a couple of quick bevs. At 7pm on a Sat nite we were the only patrons in the shop. Service was attentive. All items drinks/food are $8. My lovely date enjoyed the expresso martini (2), my Tanq martooni was pleasurable (2). Appetizers were good, seared tuna, hot shrimp dish. So, good place to start the eve.

get a life

Ya know I am trying to use this site to find places to take a friend for her birthday---but alas I am foiled by jerks who have something to prove to one another and far too much time on their hands. Really kids, just write a review and be done with it, so out-of-towners like me can have a fighting chance of finding a nice place to drink ourselves to oblivion in style (or comfort, or diveness, or whatever we seek). Even the fake reviews (if they are truly fake and not double faked--geeeze!) can be helpful for a since of what a place is or is trying to be. Many thanks!

Fake Reviews

It seems everyone on this site including the webmasters are claiming everything is over hyped or diluted by owners, employees, ex-employees, friends, or pissed customers. The big bars get the most reviews and naturally have the most extreme hates/loves thats just the way it is. District is a nice place, they seem to do a lot with what they had to work with and the owner is there running the place 24/7 so thats cool. Yeah its the Pearl and everyone hates on the richies we get it. But sometime the place is nice, well thought out, and cared for. I do get a kick out of this site and take the reviews with a grain of salt, just my two cents.

Yes, these CAPTCHAs suck, but they are a necessary evil. Typing the words you see below proves you are a human.

Before hitting that submit button, we highly suggest you read the following guidelines:

  1. Owners/Managers/Employees: Do not shill for yourself or bad mouth competitors because we WILL catch you. We have been known to "out" repeat violators. Simply identify yourself as the owner/employee/manager to address our users's complaints. Trust us, it works to do it that way. It is great PR, our users love it, we love it, and your business will love it.

  2. ALL CAPS does not get get your point across, but it does make you look completely stupid. The button on your keyboard is clearly labeled CapsLock. Move your pinky 5/16ths of an inch and turn it off.

  3. Mockery is cool, libel isn't. Learn the difference. Naming names in a negative or totally false review? You forfeit your right to privacy and will be named if any legal issues arise.

  4. Where you 86ed for being a complete douchebag? Are you the perpetually unsatisfied bitch? The bartender's psycho ex? Are you copy & pasting the same review from/to Yelp, Citysearch, etc? Then you undermine the value of user reviews. Don't waste your time posting.

  5. The 1st Amendment covers your right to say what ever you want and our right to delete it off our server.
