Over the past three decades, the space at 2265 West 84th Avenue has housed various incarnations of Babe's: Babe's on the Hill, Babe's Country, House of Babes and, most recently, Babe's Restaurant and Lounge. But the Babe's brand -- which drew a sometimes dicey clientele -- was finally put to rest in February 2012, and the spot became a live-music venue called the Take 5 Tavern. Equipped with a new stage as well as revamped lighting and sound systems, Take Five now hosts a mixture of rock, R&B and cover bands, and also hosts weekly karaoke nights.
On a good note: They spared no expense when it came to the sound system and the lighting.
On a bad note: As I was the DD I was drinking water. My friends continually had to send drinks back as they were being made poorly. Too much mixer, to weak, too strong, and a very limited variety of alcohols. Except for one time, they received no refund or resolution when problems were brought up with the waitress. After setting the precedent of free water, about half way through the evening, I was told that my table would have to pay $5 a bottle for water. When I approached the manager regarding this he was rude, inconsiderate and abrupt. The only saving grace was that the door-man made sure I had water and told me he would take care of the DD. If we had been told up front that water was $5 a bottle I would have accepted it. To change mid-evening was unacceptable.
Will I go there again? Not until they are playing hockey on the river STYX!
