great time, great people, great service 5 Star Rating - World class

I had my birthday party here, and my friends and I had the best time ever. They were very accommodating, the bartender was awesome, and we had a lot of fun here. Can't wait to head back there for a fun happy hour!

Amazing Bar and Staff...I was there during this 5 Star Rating - World class

I would like to comment on the review below me by slscreative. I was there the night that all this went down. First of all, those people were totally hammered and had had so much to drink that they were ruining the entire night for the entire rest of the bar. Second of all, they started a fight at the bar and were totally NOT COOL. I go to Arctica all the time. The staff and the clientel are chill and la-d back. These people were awful and deserved to be kicked out of the bar. Stop being so bitter slscreative, you got exactly what you deserved!! Arctica is an awesome place and has no room for jerks like you. I had my company party here and my birthday party here. THIS PLACE ROCKS!!

Pros: AWESOME STAFF AND AWESOME BAR
Cons: horrible people who ruin this place for the rest of us!

AVOID if you are female or care about women 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

IF you are pregnant you do not belong here. My friends and I were celebrating a friends birthday and one of our friends is pregnant. She had a seat, which of course we made sure of and some stupid drunk girl wanted it. She was friends with some one who worked who insisted that she get the seat. When we defended her seat their reaction was If she is pregnant she doesnt belong in a bar. That is a quote . ask the little bouncer with a gap in his teeth. He told me to quote him in this review which will be posted everywhere. Why should a pregnant lady be in a bar. She paid for her food and for others drinks. I ask you. Who is he to tell her where to go???

Pros: none
Cons: too many to list

Great for parties! 5 Star Rating - World class

After 2 long years completing our masters degree, my friends and I wanted to celebrate. We wanted a bar with a private area where we could all be together but didnt have to buy bottles- in came Arctica Bar. We were a little late in planning the party but James, the manager, did everything he could to accomodate us. We reserved the back "deck"/outdoor deck for our party (about 60 people) which was perfect because it had a bar, tables, fireplace, as well as the little outdoor area. The music was great and the drinks definitely flowed all night! Everyone had a great time! I would highly recommend having a party here and know I will be back very soon!

Pros: private area, great music, helpful staff
Cons: NONE
