The Dark Side has a rating of 4.6 out of 5 based on over 70 reviews on Google
This is two places under one roof. It is also an authentic Mexican restaurant that is open before "The Dark Side technically opens. I was there before they start the live entertainment. My friend and I came for the food and stuck around because of the vibe. This place is a the perfect for to take a horror buff. The horror decor will fascinate you. Plenty of interesting mannequin parts to be found. The mole poblano is delicious and so are the Tamale. Cool decor. Live entertainment
Shout out to Jason, the owner whose welcoming spirit draws out the best in all who meet him. Also, to Mrs. Amy, who rocks in customer service The customers are full of spirit and joy, a fantastic fun place to hang for any occasion.
LIVE band Karaoke with Yoga Pants kicked ass. Great atmosphere very chill and relaxed
Great little dive bar with just the right vibe. The karaoke live band is fantastic. Really chill and welcoming place that's a nice alternative to the college bars nearby.
Very cool place with a nice aesthetic. The bartender was very welcoming, personable, and attentive. Definitely recommend for a late night drink.
The bartender made me a Mezcal pineapple lime drink that was great! Nice, friendly place to chill.
To say "I'm not obligated to tip" and in the same sentence say "I'm a bad tiper" is crazy ngl
