Slate Plus

This place used to be all about pool and making the atmosphere for it ... back then it was great ...

now all they care about is making a party .. and its very cheesy party .. very cheesy music .. and lame people ...

the pool tables are notstraight or balanced and the sticks are mostly squed .... so how can this place call itself a pool hall? come on guys

also i agree with the bouncers thing ... they are rude and think they own the planet ... they certainly need to go to big clubs and lounges to see that their place is not even on the same scale ... wake up people

the only good thing here i would have to say is the waitresses ... they are polite and fast ...

the food is not bad either .. but very expensive .. and the pool prices are also very expensive given the bad situation for the tables and the sticks!!!

if you want to play a good game of pool .. this is not the place for you .. if you want just weird music .. and cheesy people .. then stay in

Pros: waitresses are fast and polite
Cons: everything else .. especially the condition of the pool tables, the sticks and the horrible bouncers

Slate isn't a usual destination for me, but my friend had her 30th birthday party there and we had a fantastic time. The private rooms can be reserved and are spacious. The food was good and so was the service. Everything was great until we got moved to another room mid-party... for Ashlee Simpson and her boyfriend. They did give us a free round of drinks for the inconvenience. Despite that little hiccup, I would go there again and would not hesitate to throw a party in one of their private rooms.

Pros: Big Private Rooms
Cons: Crowed in Bar Area

Very roomy and lots of space- even with a lot of people, it never looks packed. Good place for a b-day, had a good time, no need to buy bottles or make reservations. Only complaint were the bouncers. They try to act like tough guys, even when there is no one there. Showed up early when there was no line and asked us to get into a straight line before we can get inside. When we weren't standing in a perfect line, they would comment to please get back into our line. As soon as you walk in - they stop you and do not let you enter until you check your coat. There were other such instances throughout the night. Other than the bouncers being completely ridiculous- it was a good time.

Pros: Very roomy and not packed even on a Sat. night
Cons: Service

Slate is amazing. I go here atleast once a week to meet up with friends, sometimes for happy hour, sometimes on friday nights. The bartenders hook it up. I dance my butt off, the dj's make me not want to sit at the bar at all. I like when it gets busy, Slate is such a lively place to be. I've played pool a few times downstairs, but prefer to be upstairs. I also would like to say how great the food is. There is something about the way the food is made here, even though some of the menu items are staples, I just can't not eat when I go here. My friends all agree this is one of our favorite places to go! I would love to attend a party here, I've heard they are fun. I would love to be part of a behind the ropes crowd! I highly reccommend Slate to everyone who reads this, and I am always running my mouth telling other people to go there. So far I've introduced more than half of my friends to Slate, and everyone has had a good time when they went.
GO TO SLATE!!
