Great nightlife, horrible food and service

My experience here lead me to think that this is not really a go-out-to-eat type of place. A friend and I were out on a fun girls night adventure, and we stopped in to Rhino Bar for apps and drinks. The drinks were ok, what you would normally expect from a bar, nothing outstanding. We ordered nachos and asked for the guac and sour cream on the side. I didnt think this would be a huge undertaking since we were 2 of about 5 total people in the whole place (on a friday night, no less - when other places up and down the street had lines out the door) The nachos came with a gigantic pile of guac and sour cream on them and the waitress sort of apologized, apparently there was a "communication issue" with the cook, but asked if we wanted a spoon to spoon off the guac and sour cream. Spoon off the sour cream?!?!?!? Appalling. That was the end of that! Since we are very forgiving people, we did end up coming back later on when there was live music, and it seemed like if you were going here for a bachelorette party or to get really drunk you would leave satisfied. In a city full of world-class dining, if you are looking for anything edible or not containing alcohol, keep moving to some of the more upscale places.

• Pros: Nightlife
• Cons: Service, Food
