Wow... low score...

Been going to Mini for 3 years now. I actually hate it, tons of attitude, drinks are expensive, can't walk sometimes and other times you're all alone. Go in for a drink after 12 so you see hot bodies, then go party to the other bars. 3 years of experience.

JUST SAY NO!

This place had/has such great potential. You will see that if you can get in or thru the door. This place is packed and always over firecode. I sure hope a Rhode Island Nightclub fire NEVER happens here. The people are RUDE, the drinks are weak and expensive the place is nice, but too much for such a small spot. Save your money and go across the street to Roscoe's.

Are you serious???

If you think Paris Hilton and her antics are 'cute' then this is your place. If not...I will go into detail so consider this a warning. Been there 3X...every time was so crowded (fire code violation??) it was difficult to lift the beer to my lips...you know, the beer it took 45 minutes to get because the bartenders were so slammed with thirsty plastics. Now here comes the "don't hate the beautiful' slam: the attitude was SO over the top, it was like these people were filming for a reality TV show. Seriously...I did not know people actually acted like this in public (or private for that matter). From a sociological standpoint its fun. To their credit the music is good and the drinks were strong.
