Very pricey and the happy hour is horrible!
Apparently they are Under New Management, and the old happy hour times and prices are out the window. Friday happy hour used to be from 5 until 9 and has now been reduced to 5 until 6:30.
We got there a little after 7, expecting the happy hour price of $4 per well drink, and our 4 drinks ended up costing us $40. Two well rum and cokes at $8 apiece and 2 call scotches at $12 apiece. Granted, the well Scotch was something I had never heard of before and I've been drinking scotch for 50 years, so I ordered a Glen, expecting it to be 2 or $3 more than the well. I guess I should have asked. Even the happy hour price for a well drink went from $4 to $7, so even if we had made the happy hour it wouldn't have been much different.
In addition to the drinks, the pair of us shared a $12 sampler platter which consisted of 3 onion rings, 3 tiny hot wings, and about a half a dozen deep fried veggies about the size of my pinky. At least it was hot. In fact the veggies were so hot, they were still burning our mouths 5 minutes after they were delivered, but I don't consider that a bad thing.
The one Shining Joy was the bartender Dani who was quite attentive, pleasant, and understanding. She gets 4 stars but Aqua's gets only one. I can see why most of the reviews on Yelp started by mentioning they had come with a Groupon.
I will not be going back.
