Lisa started a tradition. I miss the huge outdoor comfortable couches and seating. They had excellent Apps and fine quality Shrimp Cocktail. I hope the new owners can develop a nice crowd. They named it «Pleeze» and will please a new gang.

This was our 2nd visit to Vibe and it was our last. I wish I could rate this zero stars. We went in on Saturday, May 31 around 7. We stood inside the doorway for someone to seat us or to ask if we could seat ourselves. Three servers walked by without even an acknowledgment. Rude staff. Once seated, we waited almost 20 minutes before I had to go to the bar to order drinks as no one had come to our table. We finally got a server but the service was still very slow. The server said they were just swamped. Well it’s a beautiful Saturday night! What do you expect? Hire more staff for weekend nights. It’s pretty simple. We got our bank statement a few days later and saw that they charged us forty cents($.40) more than our charge slip. I still had the receipt with all of the necessary transaction information on it. No sloppy math, no illegible handwriting. Just over charged. I called and spoke with Eric and asked him to credit us the $.40. He said he would speak with the owner. When he called back, he said there was nothing they could do to issue the credit; we would have to come in for it. I replied that it was their mistake and I shouldn’t have to go back to get the money they over charged me. I suggested he offer us a free drink to encourage us to come back and that if they weren’t going to do so they were losing a customer. Silence. Rude staff, slow service and you over charged me? I’m not coming back! Check your receipts after hanging out at Vibe and make sure you weren’t over charged. I see bars and restaurants do this all the time. It’s not a lot of money but if they do it to multiple customers every night, they make a lot of extra money. Not cool.

Overpriced. Unfriendly Crowd!!! The place is overly decorated to the point where it looks like a combination of Disney’s EPCOT Moroccan pavilion, and a Bonaroo tent. The staff is hit or miss. Some are quite nice and helpful, and some are borderline rude. The crowd is very cold, closed, and unwelcoming… which is fitting since their live music is so loud-you can hear it down the street. One of the servers told me that they are not aloud to try any of the liqueurs they use to make the drinks. So, they can’t accurately recommend anything. This, to me, points to poor management and greedy owners. I have not personally met the owner, other than for a brief moment, so I will not say anything negative. However, I will say that the owner does NOT have a good business reputation. and this is a very small town. Overall, I have yet to have a positive experience here and am very sick of having their VERYLOUD music wake up my daughter late at night.(We live somewhat close by.) What a shame…

I’m in love. Love love love this place! Kind of bummed I didn’t get to meet the owner Lisa, but hopefully next time we will! I came here on a Thursday evening for a girls night out and wish I could have stayed later! We came around 6pm and sat inside. The décor is so wicked, I love it! I don’t want to sound cliché but it does have a great vibe to it! We were taken care of by Taylor, Eric and John, who were wonderful. Our martinis were delicious and I would have had a 3rd, but unfortunately it was time to go home for me! We ordered one of the flatbread pizzas, which was good and the quesadillas(Yummm!) and the truffle fries… delish! A band came in around 8pm and made the vibe even way cooler. They have a nice seating area outside, and there is also plenty of street parking… though you might need to drive around a bit if its on a busy evening. I just can’t wait to come here again on a Thursday for a GNO again with my girlfriends! Definitely a great addition to the north shore scene!

Vibe never disappoints. We dropped in Saturday night around 10:00PM for a drink The band on the stand was rocking, the quesadillas & flat breads were delicious and martinis perfect. Thank you Lisa & crew!

Maybe I just had a bad experience, but I recently moved to HP from the city. I saw there were only two places open past 10pm and this was one of them. We had friends visiting in town and I saw this on Unilocal so we went in. The band was great and the service was ok… it was pretty busy so I could see how people could slip through the cracks. My friend ordered a fuzzy navel and I ordered a ginger snap(which was listed on their drink menu). Our waitress came back and said she was out of stuff to make both drinks. They also didn’t have sour cream for the quesidillas. It was just a very weird experience to be in a bar/restaurant that basically didn’t have the basic essentials.

Hubby and I rode our bikes downtown HP to get a cocktail, enjoy sitting outside, and people watch. No better place than downtown HP! Vibe is a nice place to do just that… Except don’t get there too early. We have arrived there several times at 5pm and they are never set up outside or seem ready for customers. No biggie… If you wait a bit, they have some nice couches and great drinks to take in the ambience. Service can be a bit lackadaisical, but again, no biggie… More time to people watch. I love their cocktails. Never had a bad one. They all taste great with their homemade potato chips(when they have them). I can’t endorse their appetizers. Hubby and I have ordered a few. Good… not spectacular. If you order a few, you end up spending a lot. Better off with a cocktail, then head to one of the more substantial places to eat in HP after you’ve taken in the«scene“ery at Vibe. ;-)

I had been dying to go here since it came up when I searched for local nightlife on Unilocal.So finally I went on a Saturday night. The place was pretty crowded… but not uncomfortably packed. It seemed to be a birthday party because everyone seemed to know one an other. This felt a little bit awkward. like coming in as an outsider. Since the bar was crowded, it took a little while to get drinks. My friend and I waited for some seats to open up. Finally a couch opened, so we relocated. The setup and décor makes for a really nice atmosphere. The couches and drapes make it a really comfortable place for a girls’ night out or even a nice date. The drinks here have really creative names and the ingredients all seem to go well together. I tried the grow a pear and cougar… both were delicious. My friend was feeling a bit like the Big Lebowski and ordered a White Russian… I believe our tab was about $ 36(I cannot remember if that was before or after tip?)… martinis were $ 10 a piece. I thought it was kind of pricey for the suburbs… but at the same time you are paying for the atmosphere… so I have mixed feeling. I am sure I will go back for a chill night out. Oh and the kitchen is open late!
