The Aquarium on 6th
What People Are Saying About The Aquarium on 6th

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.

Always a good time
by katiejamesteh
Aquarium is always one of the bars I stop at on 6th street. They usually have really good drink specials ($1 domestics on Friday I think) and the bartenders are fast and friendly. The music is always good but there's not much room to dance. You can escape the crowd by going upstairs, and the bartenders are usually better up there anyway. Cool place!
- Pros: drink prices, nice staff, good music
- Cons: crowded

Great time
by ts1001
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.

A place for Us
by lioness2121
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
