There is a bartender by the name of Crystal who absolutely steps up to the call when it comes to service and craft drinks. She is very attentive, friendly and funny! Always a pleasure, even when it’s busy!

Just moved to the area and was some exploring downtown spots. I LOVE this place, will definitely be back! Vanessa was so much fun, great company for my solo little booze crawl and made me the best drink! I asked for a lemon drop, but the Disco Lemonade is their signature spin on the classic and I couldn't have been be happier.

What a cool, sexy vibe Middle 8 has going! The bar is great to people watch, there's cozy seating all around, and it's right in the heart of downtown. The ladies behind the bar are welcoming and the drinks are spot on! Had the Porn Star Martini... fabulous!! Will be back!!

This is such a cool spot to go to. Big city club vibes in your local downtown. I love the ambiance and vibe there. But what really makes this place pop is CRYSTAL, she’s a star! Always friendly and attentive to customers and makes beautiful cocktails too! Such a fun holiday list of drinks as well! Good for girls night or after work party!

Totally worth the extra drive to come from Fremont. Every time I’ve came there has been a nice crowd and a great experience. Crystal was on point all night and made our group actually feel like VIP’s. She had us cracking up half the time!! Great vibes, great music, and tons of laughs!! Definitely will be a regular spot!

Bar/Lounge with live music - ✅ Celebrating a friends birthday party - ✅ Suave crowd down for a good time - ✅ Cool bartenders whipping up cocktails - ✅ I only wish they gave us 5 extra mins to order another drink after announcing last call :) We will be back for another round of fun and hit up the pool table next time !

Great spot. Chill vibe. Go check it out for an after or before drink date or just hang out with the fellas

Decent drinks. Exclusive to their own creation. I had the hurricane sour, strangle hold and mezcal pineapple. The hurricane by far the best. Overall nice bar with decent decor but the music is blaring way to loud. You have to scream to talk to the person next to you. This place is not a night club so it’s beyond me why they have the music so loud. Overall decent place.

A/c not too good, music should fit the age group but doesn't, don't request to lower sound very hard to talk over music ,Not recommend to do private parties here, owner not very nice , He was kinda rude to people when told private room hours were finished, made you feel like you were an inconvenience, He was lurking around made us feel uncomfortable all night, Male bartender was nice but that all. Oh and they just setup a taco bar on the bar with not warmers so food got cold before everyone served themselves, not very pleasant

Was told immediately upon entering that they don't even allow service dogs inside anywhere. They only carry light beer for domestic and only carry premium that's not light and their prices are sky high just well shots are $10.00. Not a place to hang out if you're in a budget for sure the karaoke was decent but they use only Karafun which is a lazy and cheap way to run a show. Song selections and versions are very limited and many versions suck. If they matched their karaoke with their high end prices they'd have a decent hard drive with all the good versions and only use Karafun as a supplement for when they don't have a certain song. They also tell you drinks are a certain price but then charge sales taxes on top of the price they gave you as opposed to most bars that include the taxes in the price.

Didn’t let me and my friends in because of one missing ID (although he acknowledged we all were the same age-jokingly). I get the process. HOWEVER, I asked for the eenie espresso martini for $9, and they charged me $18 and the drink is called “Ariana Grande” which isn’t even on the menu….. Confused, ripped off on Thursday night. Welp, don’t go here I guess. Please improve customer service, if you’re a service bar, would be great to come in with warmth, groovy and more positive energy.
