Good Food, Piano Music, Friendly Crowd

Most patrons are mature, but have a great attitude and sociable. You can actually carry a conversation for more than 5 minutes without them answering the cellular. Every bar you go I see a sea of people constantly attached to their cellular, receiving, sending, text messaging. I leave mine in the car when I out going to clubs. I can only imagine that this bunch of kids are doctors on emergency room calls, navy seals on a 24/7 call status, or secret agents receiving an urgent "encrypted" message that a Harrier Jet will soon land on the parking lot and whisked them away on another "Mission Impossible"

Now for a voice that's likely over 40 years of age

Always interesting to see how younger men consider their older peers. Yes, Tropics is indeed popular with older gay men (and the young guys who like them); but venting about them being aggressive in a bar designed to host them is pretty silly. So here's a local's view: the daily lunch buffet is a great deal (and good quality); nightly dinner specials also make this an affordable alternative for locals and tourists alike. The drinks are affordable and a full pour. As for the comment about staff turnover, wow, I've been waited on by the same 3 bartenders for about 6 years now. If you dont like an older crowd, go to alibi for lousy food and loud music. We regulars will be pleased to point you int eh right direction (and for the records, I'm only 47)

Laid back brunch

Booger 35/M

Not, apparently, a place to see or be seen.... but that's the key. Insecure, with a small winkie? This ain't the place fer you. Weekends are a pit, with pushy wrinkled old men who have a god complex. Do try the brunch weekdays... quite good... quite reasonable. Update:2/1/08... Apparently trouble in the not-so-OK-corral. Staff turnover is outta sight. Is it "good help is hard to find" or simply abusive management? Oy.

Best food I have had in a long time. It was an older crowd, guess they have to go somewhere. Highly recomend.
