Editorial Review for The Aquarium on 6th – by Tara Hall
In Short
The Aquarium makes the most of a small space with a layout suitable for singles making the rounds. Tables fill the front but disappear as the bar deepens. Congregating 20-somethings line the left side, checking out the wall of aquariums and the incoming mix of conservative businessmen and the tattooed and pierced working its way toward the massive bar on the right. A small corner bar and nearly hidden restrooms make the upstairs a comfortable alternative.

Insider Tips

Where to SitTo avoid the constant foot traffic, hang out upstairs, where there are couches and tables for casual conversation and a bird's-eye view of downstairs shenanigans.

Front windows open right in the middle of the crazyness on the Halloween. Great time, liked the fact that even though there was a line in front it moved quick, the staff was friendly, and the patrons were nice.

You know us, the pretty, yuppy, preppy folk from the sororities and fraternity. It's just big party at the aquarium. Great looking guys and girls from around town. It can get real busy, so get there early if you are planning to drink a lot! Girls- you're better off getting to the bars and ordering for your group. I always slife right up the bar and get served within minutes. =)
Pros: Good looking people, Life's a Party feel
Cons: Gets Loud, Gets Crowded
