Essence ""amazing"" Bar 8/19/2011

Okay! So like many others that know of this place, I totally judged it but its location and boy oh boy was i mistaken. The first time i went was on a Thursday for their live band and ""open mic"" night and i was completely blown away. The staff was super friendly and welcoming as well as the patrons. The second time i went with a group of my co workers on a Sunday night for the live band. I had raved about the wonderful time I had that previous week. Upon, walking in they were a bit leery but as soon as the band began they were completely sold. There were 2 dollar draft beers all night and 5 dollar appetizers. They also have comedy and kareoke and its always free admission. This is definitely a hidden gem and i encourage everyone to give this place a try :) I hope this review helped! more

Good Food and Music 10/26/2010

It's really a nice and relaxing place to go and enjoy the music. The food is excellent and so are the Owners. When you want to get away and have a drink this is the place to go..... more

ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE THIS PLACE-ATROCIOUS 10/25/2010

What intinally attracted me to Essence bar was the good reviews, however I discovered that the good reviews were obviously bogus. The owner probably put them up or something.The bar's decor is hideous and enfeebled but to honest if i planned to get drunk the decor would be the last thing on my mind. However I couldn't accomplished the very goal that one seeks in going to bar (getting a buzz) because the drinks were so watered down and over price;so I couldn't help staring at the wall filled with health department posters and cheap, dusty mask. I just decided t o get beers because that was probably the only thing that hasn't been tainted. The bartender's were rude an it took her 30 minutes just to get me a beer. more

never again 9/25/2009

Well for starters they need 2 remodel tha joint cause thats what it is! Get some classier barmaids, some fine security, and keep tha riff raft out. I live a few doors down, and the noise linger to the we hours of the morning. The drunken messes that crawl out of there, trust it's a sight for sore eyes. Watered down drinks, nasty bathrooms, and the stinch of rink lingers throughout the club. I got the notion to call the proper authorities, the owner Arthur and son should be ashamed. Don't do it to yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pros: nothing Cons: everything more

FOOD & KAROEE 8/8/2009

I am a settle person I enjoy the music at time's don't like the hip hop music. When you set your mine & mood to the music while having a nice drink the mood changes soon has they put on the hip hop and women shaking their bodies it change your mood to want you come out to enjoy. You can't meet someone or talk to anyone when this type of music come's on. Then it time for me to leave the club.The staff & service is great. The owner is hot. Pros: FOOD & SERVICE GREAT Cons: MUSIC AT TIME more
