Did Fat Tuesday's close on South Street? Less than desirable crowd that seems grimy AND it is just off raucous South Street at 4th and Bainbridge. My wife and I were petrified when we left at 10. The drinks were just OK. I would not take the trip out of Center City. The Palm, XIX, Butcher, Rouge make cocktails in a much more palatable atmosphere.

Heard about this place and had to try it. Sorry I did. Over priced with an attitude that in this day and age is ridiculous--particularly the obnoxious guy that looks like a billy goat. He made a drink for my partner and it was so sour it was undrinkable. We asked for him to try it and he went into an insulting rant. We just wanted to see if we were missing something. There were some frumpy regulars that looked aggravated and in need of a shower and deodorant that made is feel like we were not welcome. The bar itself is handsome, but there is a "I am better than you attitude" from the staff that makes the place not very appealing.
