Casual movement

Ok...so if you are in to walking around and checking out the various "hang-out" spots in this bar then you will have fun. Go upstairs and spy down at the crowd dancing to videos underneath- what appears to be a 4' diameter mirror ball (think Madonna Confessions and you'll be in heaven. The back patio seems to be the place to be the place to be if you need a smoke or want to sit down and chat with old friends or make new ones. I'd suggest hitting up Depot first before making your way into Badlands as there are no lines for drinks and beer is on tap and available in a pitcher. Lately Sundays have been the best night to go- it's tea dance without the attitude. This is where the boys are- So if you are looking to hang with the guys, this is the bar you'll want to see. The crowd is casual and laid back and everyone is always on the move. There are three stories to this bar- The basement hosts a huge bathroom, coat check and bar and the main level hosts dancing with the top level left for one more bar, the lounge and balconies over looking K Street and the dance floor. Check it out.
