★★★★★ 5.0 Natori Mitchell · Dec 2025

I had such a great time, the vibes were perfect for a chill out afternoon. I’m a yuntie, so the music was the right combo of grown & sexy without being too much. Now let’s talk about the food! The lamb chops were absolutely delicious and mouth-watering. The broccoli was fresh and seasoned just right. And don’t get me started on the crab dip so good I had to take the rest home for a perfect midnight snack! I 100% recommend and I’ll definitely be back again! 😌✨🍽️

The vibe at Bar 9 was upbeat , definitely a must for an after work drink or bite to eat. Our server, Kia, was amazing! She took the time to make thoughtful recommendations, and everything she suggested was spot on. The crab and spinach dip was creamy and packed with flavor. Highly recommend the catfish basket with fries. The fish was cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. If you’re looking for a spot to unwind after work or for a chill date night, Bar 9 is it!

I give the overall experience a 3.8/10. Food and music is the only reason the rating is high because the service and atmosphere was poor. We seated ourselves, took 5 minutes for someone to come over, the hostess tried to take the happy hour menu from us although happy hour would’ve been starting within 20 minutes. I felt like everything was rushed other than the food, rushing to take our orders, rushing to bring the checks, rushing for us to pay.. meanwhile it’s 3-7 staff members lounging and staring a whole in your face at the bar. Have to keep asking for items the waiter didn’t remember to bring. Seems like the staff started actually working once the demographic switched to non-POC and after 4pm when the dinner crowd started coming in. For us to be one of the only tables on a Friday afte

10/10!!! I didn’t even know they were a thing until I saw it on TikTok and I don’t regret it. I had the Creole pasta was super good. Food was amazing, good music, nice vibes. And our waitress Amani was the bomb. Good experience and I can’t wait to come back.
