I really want to like this place.  I think it could fill a need in the Ballantyne area.  But it just doesn't cut it.  \n\nThis is a fun place to grab a quick beer during the week, or early before dinner somewhere.  But if you come here on a Saturday night, prepare to shout at your friends and have to get awkwardly close to hear what anyone is saying.  They have a band, and that makes it look fun, but this space is not set up for so many people AND a band.  It is incredibly loud.\n\nAlso, I'll agree with one if the other Yelpers.  Cougarrific.  A guy about my age   (Mid-late 20's) came up to me and said \"well, now we know where our parents go out.\"  And he's exactly right.  I'm a people watcher by nature, but you could spend hours cougar spotting in this place.  \n\nSo, I'll probably come back here.  As I said, I really want to like it.  So I'll probably keep trying.  But you kind of fend for yourself - with the cougars, and getting drinks.  Good luck my friend.
