    Review by Bruce James
    Honey is sooooo sweet. The only chance of getting stung at this very hot spot is if you incorrectly time your arrival and find yourself elbows deep in the entry line-up. Located at the less-than-luxurious Lotus Hotel, Honey has quickly become a luxury in its own right, heavily due to Friday night’s romp of all romps: The Mod Club.

    DJ Girl Friday - the clever vixen of throwbacks - has re-energized this broken down drink with the most kick-startling rarities and familiars from the ‘60s and ‘70s that you have no choice but to get your groove on. It’s the Elvis you never grew up with, the Shangri-la’s in a rejuvenated glory and the master, James Brown (RIP) begging you to get on up.

    Whether you’re a fan of all things Mod and feel the need to attire yourself accordingly or not, you won’t be excluded from the gang of sipping hipsters that practically run the place on Fridays (You’ll be able to see them…trust me. Think poodle. Think skirt). It’s not a Halloween establishment, it’s an homage.

    Due to popularity and an everywhere dance floor, getting your ass in one of those regal looking upholstered chairs or booths is next to impossible; fine, come with a small group and congregate around the bar (probably a better idea anyway as your drink may take a while). And for those of you who haven’t taken Tap and Keg 101, try to avoid draught beer in these - how do I put it nicely? - older establishments (trust me).

    Im wondering if there was a recent switch over at Honey? it used to be a great mixup of emo, old skool hip hop and rock classics. and the dj was a male. does anyone know what happened to that dj? i would love to follow him!

    Mod Club Fridays *were* fun...until you'd gone 3 or 4 times and realized that 'DJ Girl Friday' would be more aptly named 'Girl Who Made a Mix Tape for Friday'. Mod Club is stale due mostly to the fact that it's the _exact_same_songs_ every Friday night. I'm pretty sure they are even in the same order. Great music--but there is a LOT of great music to be had out there, not just those 20 songs. Anyway...

    It also seems the place has become overrun with a rather young and boring crowd of very mainstream co-eds since school started up again, probably due to the $6.00 double highballs and cheap, cheap cover. Honey used to be good value for a great time, but now it feels pretty ho-hum.
