In Short – Water walls, ultramodern chairs and stainless-steel fixtures contribute a sleek, clubby atmosphere to this 4,000-square-foot Warehouse District singles destination. Sip a designer martini at the trendy front bar as you survey the collegiate and after-work crowds; dance to house and hip-hop music; or watch one of several plasma TV screens. Kick back in a lavish booth, on a contemporary leather sofa or check out the rear bar's five Sharper Image massage chairs.

Warning:Pay in Cash!

by LaBrava

Ridiculous! Hold on to you credit/debit cards. Even when you do open a tab [leave your credit/debit card with the bar] - each time you buy a drink using your credit/debit card, The Light Bar places a $50 hold on your account that supposedly drops off in 5 business days. That means that the 2 times we bought drinks at $7.50 and $15.00 translates into a $100 hold on my funds in my account. CRAZY [and they do not tell you this before you make a purchase].

  • Pros: 2 Levels of Music and Waterfall
  • Cons: They place a $50 hold on each transaction you make with card
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended
