“Single’s Awareness Night”

The Decor/Atmosphere: Dark, intimate, and comfortable. I really enjoyed the way they had this rather small space laid out. Couches and chairs in the front, small tables parallel to the bar and one couch in the back. All dark wood and either red or muted lighting. The ceiling was textured dark brown as well. Wall art… well, that has a lot to do with…

The Music: I’m sure most of the time the music at Prago fits the atmosphere. I was there when they were supposed to be having a live artist who never did show. However, since it’s February, someone at Prago decided they would have a Johnny Cash celebratory MONTH. The music was too loud, and all bad second-rate remixes or covers of Johnny Cash. Please, people, an “Argentinian Cafe” would NOT have an ENTIRE FREAKING MONTH of tribute to the man in black. The music is eventually what drove us out of the place. It could have just been the fill-in DJ, or it could have been the norm. I’m going back when February is over.

The Prices: The special martini of the night set me back $6. It was a relatively small martini glass, although to their credit it was potent-but-not burned. A glass of wine was also $6. Not Wednesday-night cheap, but doable on a weekend if you wanted to have A drink, no more.

The Restrooms: Shared between this cafe and the Lion’s Lounge next door. Sterile, immaculate, small. Beyond the fact they were cold, nothing too exciting. (I add restrooms as their own category because sometimes they are the best indicator of what kind of a place you’re at- and sometimes they are just plain amusing.)

The Final Say: The bartenders/waiters are attentive and definitely a bit of nice eye candy. I’m willing to try the place again, because I love the decor and feel- but after the Johnny Cash tribute is over. It would be a great place for a first date, I think, because they do offer a decent menu of food, but just a drink is just as acceptable, if a little expensive.
