The Flat is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you are going to get.

And that's why I LOVES IT!

It's amazing how on the left half of the bar it's chill enough to play cards with friends (trust me, I did it with Uno) and on the right half of it's a cool dance party (think Janet Jackson's video for "That's the Way Love Goes"....two vibes without any dividers.

Their back patio is awesome-perfect for a nice night.

The crowd is always great and there is usually a DJ spinning great beats (not too techno, not too top 40, but just right).

Great bar for late night bites - I've only had their pizza, but it def works.

The last props I will give the Flat is that it's been around for several years now and it has been able to sustain a great environment after its "15 minutes of fame". Most bars these days lose their heat after their first year...not the Flat.

I took off one star because they have a minimum charge on credit cards. I'm too irresponsible to carry cash, and I can't help it if drinks are bought for me after I open my tab ; ).
