Editorial Review for InnJoy – by J.P. Anderson
The Scene
The flashing yellow and purple sign outside may read "wine and dine," but the bar is definitely more hipster hangout than dining destination. Lava lamps bubble and soft blue banquettes beckon in the stylish, low-lit space; 20-somethings chill at the bar or play foosball or Golden Tee; couples get cozy in intimate booths towards the back.
The Draw
Again, despite the above-mentioned sign, don't be fooled--the food menu's mostly typical bar bites, and the wine list is a mere five reds and five whites by the glass. Skip the so-so starters (wings, spinach dip), though, and you'll find tasty stuff like baked grinders and surprisingly good thin-crust pizza. The firm, buttery crust stays crisp and holds plenty of toppings; try coq au vin or barbecue chicken specialty pies, or create your own from a list of standard toppings.

This is a great bar to go to Sunday-Thursday because they have great food and drink specials on week nights but the weekends are hell. It's over crowded for such a small space and the drink specials aren't great. Sunday nights are my favorite
Pros: weekday food and drink specials
Cons: weekend crowd

DON'T HAVE A PARTY HERE - SO MANY BETTER DEALS IN THE CITY!!!! the basement party room smells and requires you to go upstairs to get drinks if the servers aren't around (what a pain). the managers/organizers are not very good at their jobs and fail to tell you all of the details. $40 a person doesn't even get you top shelf! one good thing about the place - good dj. however, suffering through the rest is not worth it!
Pros: music
Cons: service, ambiance, party packages
