Editorial Review for Le Souk – by Rachel King
In Short
Hookahs and dim lighting evoke opium dens and harems. The staff is young and comely; the Middle Eastern pop music on the stereo is loud and fast. And just when you think a belly dancer is the only thing missing, voila: A scantily clad woman comes gyrating into the room. The menu includes the souk combination (tuna on a bed of vegetables), tagines, baklava and chocolate mousse cake.

Dear Le Souk. Ok. It's Sunday night. 2am. How effin busy do you think you are? You're not. Got it? I showed up with 10 guys for my buddy's bachelor party knowing that 10 guys without girls is frowned upon. HOWEVER, it's still Sunday night and anyone with any sense of business would grasp the concept that guys celebrating a bachelor party spend money on shots and more shots and, well, more shots. Instead, the black vampire (he has fangs) with the effin stupid ring-claws insisted that we buy 2 bottles at $300 each. This demand not only left us disinterested in the place but it effectively dissolved the opportunity for the bar to make money ON A DEAD-ASS SUNDAY NIGHT! I could understand if this was a Friday or Saturday, but it was Sunday. Get over yourself. Needless to say, we won't be back. Your un-dead doorman is a tool. You should replace him with someone more business savvy.
Pros: It's open
Cons: vampire doorman, no sense of business

This place used to be cool. Now its all greasy men and trashy girls. What happened to this place?? The people that work there are rude, the food tastes 10 days old and the people that work the place look like wannabe Uncle Jesse's. Better back in the day, wouldn't recommend, especially on the weeknights, crowd is nasty.
