Now being presented as "144 Temple" this bar is horrible. The staff is rude, bouncers seem to think their job is tough and they're mean to guests, females included. Cover is always $10, never worth it. Do not go here if you're looking to have a good night in New Haven. Bar, Via, or Olive & oil is a better choice!!

Place is bad news. Dangerous at times. Used to be a fun spot but not anymore.

SLEAZY PLACE THAT OVERCHARGES. They tried to charge me $9 more than what I should have paid -- They tried to add an extra 0 to the tip I left on my card. Typical of an overpriced bar trying to take advantage of people drinking who might not remember what they purchased.Vibe was weird... DJ was subpar and didn't really play anything good. It was dirty and people barely danced. Definitely not worth paying cover for. Card minimum is $10, which is probably their attempt to make up the difference since most drinks seem to range from$6-8. Buy with a friend. Closing was incredibly abrupt and they kicked everyone out a solid 15 minutes before they actually closed.Between all that and their attempt to overcharge me, we definitely won't be back.

Came here with my friends for st patrick's and was GRABBED by a security worker just for trying to meet my friend on lie in the bathroom (i exited the bathroom 2 seconds prior) when a grown man grabbed my arm lifted me up and threw me out. I have never been handled so appallingly. I go to school for hospitality and that should never happen especially to a women trying to find her way back to her friend in a packed bar she knows no one in. DO BETTER. Your mother would be appalled.

Service is subpar, definitely lower class than the previous “Vanity” atmosphere. Bouncers are terrible… harass you at the front door. Was kicked out for simply watching my friends girlfriend by the bathroom. Will never visit again.

Very friendly staff, even the bouncer inside was very friendly .Loved the atmosphere and it's my place during summer and fall.

Place is run by the worst security of all time. They have no idea what they're doing. Terribly run place all around. 0 stars

Terrible place. The staff are rude, bartenders water down the drinks, and the environment is mediocre at best. Why wait over an hour in line to get in when you could go have more fun literally anywhere else? Disgusting bar, will never return, and you shouldn't either.
It’s a beautiful place , all the staff there are so nice and friendly .

Tried this spot in the past with my friend and I am addicted since then. I liked the excellent ambience and delicious food and drinks. Keep up the good work.

I was standing at the bar around 12:45 bartender was pouring my friends and I one more drink and then both my friends and myself got dropped from behind by a bouncer and literally thrown on the ground for absolutely zero reason, the bartender and bouncer started arguing and I said no to the shots and no to the payment I will NEVER go back again that’s legitimately assault.
