BarFly's Review of Momo Bar Maximo

Overpriced drinks, garish crimson interiors, crowds ranging between (weekends) scattered pockets of proto suburbanites and (weeknights) the bartender and her paramour watching The Parkers at top volume - Momo’s doesn’t exactly invite adventuring. For the desperate boozehound leaving the library or theater, though, there’s not so many options for a cocktail this bleak stretch of midtown, and it’s easy enough to find yourself giving the bar a try. Maybe, avoiding the E-dates grimacing through appetizers and C-list fratboys misplaying pool, you bring your drink through the unadorned back door. As children would pass through, say, a wardrobe. A wondrous, jarring, thoroughly misplaced grotto remains from the former tea house, and Momo’s wisely, amazing given the surrounding misdesign, simply left things alone beyond a few strands of Christmas lights less tacky than rakish given the context - Easter Island lounge as abandoned evidence of a once great culture utterly ignored by the natives currently in residence. $2.50 well, $3.50 call, & $2 beers 4-7pm daily. Oly stubbies $1.50 all the time! Sundays: S.I.N. $2 well and $2.50 beers w/OLCC. Saturdays: DJ Wicked. Mondays: DJ Mello Cee.

Reader Reviews of Momo Bar Maximo
OK
The editor's review is harsh but not unfair at least regarding the crowd and surroundings. My drink however was pretty decent... a booth of drunken idiots were singing along (badly) to unfortunately jukebox selections which I found somewhat entertaining (but the btender did not)...

There isn't much around this part of dtown, except for river city saloon(?) which I avoid...

Nice Happy Hour
Baltar666I went here for my first and second time ever last week for happy hour. I wanted to try some place new and had passed by this place a hundred times leaving the library. Their happy hour drink specials are great with a strong poor and a small but nice little selection of micros. No food deals, but the chicken strips are more like chicken slabs. The outdoor seating in back really is awesome! I had six friends join me, and everyone enjoyed it. I'm waiting to see if they keep the grotto open/warm as the weather turns...

Not bad
$20 minimum on cards there, which is kind of steep.

4 bux for a stiff ass drink. the best i can describe the atmosphere is that it's the dive bar for shirt guys. they were all over, including some dude proud of a dolce and gabbana jacket made out of baby seal. i only stayed because of the stiffness. 2 drinks and ya gotta go.

Dump
The DJs think they're cool. The bartenders can't make drinks for shit. And the customers leave little to be desired. This place is a fuggin dump. Avoid.
