Editorial Review for Toon's – by A.J. Cardinal and Citysearch Staff

In Short
Constant music and come-in-and-mingle vibes attract singles and students looking for a good time. The front room is crammed with a stage featuring a rotation of live, local alternative-rock type bar bands and a dance floor featuring the rotations of very inspired (or at least inebriated) bar-hoppers. DJs spin club hits on nights when bands aren't booked. A back room has several pool tables, pinball machines, video games, an electronic dartboard and air hockey.

Me and my girlfriend went there for Cinco de Mayo (2008) and had a fine time until the end. The atmosphere was mediocre with a somewhat ghettro crowd. They let this Asian guy in there who seems like he might be on LSD who kept running around on the dance floor for 2 hours straight. The drinks were good enough for the price and the music was so-so. Don't expect to have your requests played though! We got in for free, so we didn't expect a palace! As the night was coming to an end we decided to use the GIRL'S bathroom before heading home. As we were standing in line this little hype man JIMMY kept entering the bathroom and harrassing the women. Everyone felt uncomfortable because he works there and was degrading women on stage. He thought because he was a hype man for the club that he had power to walk into the girl's bathroom and start hitting on the women. I asked him nicely, at first, to leave the girl's bathroom. He got very obnoxious and aggravated saying he was going to beat me up and get me thrown out of the club...It was closing anyway dummy! Anyway, a MALE bouncer actually had to come inside the bathroom because JIMMY was acting so violent. At that point I was irritated because there were 2 guys in the bathroom making it even more awkward with the door open. It was like JIMMY had little man syndrome because he never got any girls when he was in high school or something. Anyway, I promised to speak to his manager which I am in the process of right now. Beware of JIMMY, but enjoy your free or $5 entry at the door. Not a classy place AT ALL especially for women who don't want to get harrassed!!!

Pros: Cheap or free to get in, Stage for only women(until JIMMY gets up there), courteous bouncers, good for last resort

Cons: Let anybody in, weak atmosphere, ghettro crowd, music is lacking
