Best place to listen to music. First of all, this place is beautiful. Second of all, the place is home to what I consider the best burger in the city, the Togarashi Burger. Third and most important, it has the best DJs in the city. You can come here on any night and hear great music, from shoe-gaze to deep disco to funk and soul to hip-hop being produced in Japan and Germany.…
Great Atmosphere Great Food Great Drinks. Great romantic place to take a date except weekend nights, it becomes a party. Great place for a fun date during the weekend nights. Interesting food and drinks. I highly recommend this place with or without a date.…
Always There For Me.
Rodan Is a great place to start or end your night. I hang out at events on Miwaukee a few times a week. I typically try to pregame here; but if one of those events doesn't live up to expectation - I
head back over to Rodan.
I'll plan to spend my night at Rodan if I am going out with only one or two people. The perfect place to grab food, chill, talk and catch up.
Rodan is the only constant on that street. Always there for me.…
wrong place to be.
i remember people saying how cool this place was .. it had a vibe. fun, wih no look-down-your-nose attitude. I imagine those were the good ol' days.
Now its like a ti*&#y bar without the "class." - or the service. an also-ran with a lot stronger competition just down the block, in either direction. it had no flair except for the nice woodwork - must be their signature.
The clientele was identical to most of the crappier lincoln park bars I had the displeasure to find myself in.
the music was tired and the server seemed annoyed. (maybe with the music, too? - we never found out since we barely saw her again..)
like poe said: "never more.."…
Rodan's the place for after work drinks or Sunday brunch.
Rodan is the place I go after work, the place I'd take someone on a first date, the place I'd go for brunch on Sunday, the place I'd go to relax on a Monday night, and the place I'd go to get rowdy
on the weekend.
Such good food (from the wasabi-battered fish&chips to the sesame-tofu crepes to the empanadas to the sushi), not to mention awesome service (Jamie, Nandini, Rolan- you rock). The interior- ambiant blue lighting w/sleek wood paneling througout and projections on the back wall as well as the line waiting for the bathroom. And those trick effects mirrors above the sinks- ingenious!
The crowd can get a little uppity on the weekends, but during the week its a regular artist hangout all the way. Go on Sunday/Monday for the $3 Lychee Champagnes! Also cheap specials during the week as well.…
