This was an awesome experience. One of a kind, CAN NOT BE MISSED. The DJ was spinning some great tracks on the roof top dance floor. The bar staff is on top of it. Top notch service. There are DJ's spinning on both levels.

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!!!! I LOVEEEE GOING HERE!!!! Security check at the front door, that is PROFESSIONAL and makes you actually feel safe. First floor has VIP seating and booths that anyone can utilize (they dont charge you for). Long bar that you can walk up to and be greeted and served right away no matter how busy they are. Bathrooms in the way back. Stairs are in the middle that are very wide steps so you dont bump into anyone or spill your drink. Second floor is dim lighting and some secluded seating. Outside upper deck is AMAZING. Another bar that offers quick and speedy service. Upstairs is a VIBE like no other bar or club has to compare. Everyone is grooving and smiling and dancing. Good vibes, good energy, and good music. You can't help but smile. Dance the night away under the stars. People watch looking off the edge down at all the drunks on the sidewalk. Mingle with all the beautiful people. ANDDDD to top it all off.....this bar stays open until 3am!!!!!! I have noticed at 2:00am/2:30am things start to get a little WEIRD and that's when I call my Uber to go home.....but this place is AWESOME. I love it and its my favorite.

If you're looking for House Music: you found the right spot! Bar Smith over delivers every single Saturday night with both local and out of state talent, rain or shine. 2 dance floors catering to different crowds with different flavas: Hip Hop on Main Floor, House on the Rooftop. Both united by the love of Music: the universal language.

We go here just for the food ... Unfortunately the chef had sold out of all the catfish, but the smoked buffalo wings made up for it! The meat was falling off the bones & the greens were very flavorful We will DEFINITELY return for the catfish when they open up again!!!! The club is great & the DJs are always amazing, but the food is fire !!!!!
