Mini Bar

This place is an absolute delight!I would've never found this place save for a date that suggested we come here for karaoke. It has a very hip feel and a younger crowd.You might not like that, but, personally...I find it pretty refreshing to to be surrounded by the culture of 20-somethings (in controlled doses).You can tell that this place is also very inclusive, there were folks of all sexualities and genders singing happily together.To top it all off, they had a great selection of local taps.Highly recommended!

Love this place. I have been to so many wonderful shows in the room upstairs. Small, intimate space with a nice staff and a solid PA system. One of the best small room venues in town!

I came by for a show. I was in from out of town and don't venture out often. I didn't know anyone and felt a bit, um, awkward at first.They had my preferred beer if I were going to partake, and I decided to do just that. The gent behind the bar, Spencer, was an awesome location "host" (I'm gonna call him that).He was attentive in his tiny bar space and accommodating with what he had available to him. Because I don't partake in the beers too often I decided to slow myself down for a while and switch up to Shirley Temples. I have got to admit, hands down THE BEST Shirley Temple I've ever had! Granted it was sans maraschino cherries (as I prefer) but Spencer meddled up some lime and put it in a real glass, serving up a supreme mocktail as far as I'm concerned. Being that I had been to a show earlier show that day, I also have to mention how on point the sound was! Incredible sound considering the size of the space etc. Good vibes, good beverages, good sounds. What else could a lady ask for?If I'm ever round these parts again, I am likely to stop in and check the place out, just to stop in for a Spencer Temple lol!

What can I say about this experience other than we had a really great time. Minibar is a two story space with music and service happening in both areas. The DJs each played for about 90 mins and transitioned from one to the next in amazing style. At one point two DJs we're playing together and clearly love what they do- super into the music. Club-goers were quite the eclectic group- all ages, all backgrounds, very diverse.

An intimate music space that feels more like you're in a cool kid's high school basement than the 2nd floor of a building. Good acoustics, affordable drinks, and fun bands. What more can you ask for?

Terrible service and even worse music. Bartender doesn't even like the environment so there is no hope for patrons.

Many bars along the Broadway's Midtown corridor play along with the neighborhood's divey and gritty aesthetic. Mini Bar on the other hand, is a nice change of pace. It offers up an almost minimalist, sleek and modern feel and backs it up with good bartenders and well poured drinks.Mini Bar isn't a large space, but it does offer a little bit for everybody. If you watch the calendar, the weekends rotate among some local djs, you can sing to your hearts content during Karaoke Tuesdays and you can even find an occasional DIY rock show here and there.If those things aren't your bag, that's okay. There are plenty of fine folks from the neighborhood who will gladly grab you a stool and enjoy a cold one with you.

This is my neighborhood bar. Sister to Record Bar and every bit as cozy and great for a regular except on weekend nights when the crowd can really pack in.There's never a cover here, the drinks are affordable, and there's something different going on almost every night. The frozen pizzas made by the great cooks at Record Bar can be a life saver if you've had one too many and need to dial it back a bit.Given its location, the travel theme is highly appropriate here. Though it can be a great place to set up camp for a night if things are happening, it's a great place to stop between destinations, to regroup, to kill some time waiting for a friend to come out.Love this place. Had my birthday here this year and it was one of the best ones in memory.

Went during "emo night" unexpectedly. Not sure if the bartender was annoyed with the event, or if he just really didn't want to be there to begin with. The drinks were mediocre, and most of the cocktails were on tap. I'm giving 3 stars because I'll give it the benefit of the doubt, with a friendlier bartender I'm sure it would have been a great time.

Cool space. Tiny, but enough room for you and 100 of your friends to rock out in what feels like a basement, but is actually the second floor. Dress like it's summer.
