A: 4 Stars??? Really people?? This place was horrendous! The only reason I ended up stopping by this place was because my grandma wanted to go to an older casino near the strip. We parked up stairs and ended up taking the elevator down. As soon as I got in the elevator it stunk like 1950's old cigarettes and mold. When we got down to floor level, I was unimpressed. Now I know why they shut places like this down... they are an EYE SORE! I was told that they are going to remodel it or tear it down, whichever they choose, please choose it soon! I saw all the reviews of people who enjoy the cheap beers. If you want at a free beer, sit as a bar and put a dollar in the machine and get one. I ended up going to the bar and ordering one (I didn't have anymore cash to play the machines) and they charged me $16 for a double Jack and Coke. Ridiculous! Also I wanted to play the $5 black jack and the tables were full the entire time I was there. And not to mention the stupid lines for the half price show tickets. Can't this half price tickets get their own booth or location? GO ELSE WHERE! THIS PLACE STINKS, LITERALLY!!

A: I've only visited the attic on weekend nights, so I can't speak to the atmosphere on a more mellow night, but on weekends this place is slammed. You get 2 for the price of 1 at The Attic, because it connects to Madison's. And when both places get crowded, watch out. The Attic is just too small for the amount of people they let upstairs, along with them trying to have a dance floor. It can take quite a while to get a beer at the bar cause of the crowd. And on a busy night, don't even try getting outside. If you aren't there early, just forget about it all together. People really do get into it on the dancefloor, so that can be an escape from the crowdedness around it. There seems to always be a wedding party here for some reason, so expect some dressed up drunken folk dancing away. The Attic just gets too crowded for me & isn't really anything special. Just like Madison's, I'm not sure what their differentiating factor is to set them apart from other Charlotte bars, but it doesn't appeal to me if they have one.

A: I came here a couple years ago for a cover up. I had a guy named goofy doing the tattoo. He seemed like a nice guy and his artwork was good. However, he ended up writing down my tattoo as costing 200 bucks and then accepting well over an extra 200 in tips. Apparently, he needed the money in order to skip town. We did a session and then he bounced and left me with half a tattoo. I went back to precious slut to explain what the guy had done to me and they refused to help me fix it.

A:
The Dia de los Muertos event at the Desert Botanical Garden (DBG) was fantastic this year; however, the food catered by this company was certainly not "fabulous." The food was average at best and certainly overpriced for the quality. The catered menu for the DBG celebration consisted of a fairly limited menu of chips & salsa, and a choice of either Machaca Tacos (shredded beef) or Fish Tacos. There may have been one salad option, too. The chips were fresh and the salsa was delicious, but seemed a little overpriced at $4.50 for a small serving. The Machaca Taco plate came with a side of rice and refried black beans for $13.95. The shredded beef was tender and had good flavor, but the rice was cold and the refried beans were dried out and lacking flavor. Also, the Horchata tasted like sweet milk and was seriously lacking in spice - who forgot the cinnamon?! Besides the lackluster food, I was also disappointed by the lack of professionalism and attitude of the catering crew. This was a cool event to cater, but they all looked bored. Based on this experience trying a meal catered by FF and interacting with their staff, I would not hire them in the future.
