Drinks were weak. Bartender wasn't the friendliest - she didn't let us use our drink special because she hadn't seen our wristbands, and didn't offer to give us anything retroactively... LAME

Eh, I have never been a fan of Katra. It's crowded, closed, and usually charges cover, which I detest because it really doesn't qualify for cover. It's one thing to guarantee a certain crowd, but this…
