2.0 of 5 stars. Let me simplify this for everyone; all HYPE. Listen up Hollywood, "Just because people say it's the best place on Earth, it doesn't mean it is."

Please don't waist your time. I've wanted to try Pink's for years and the other night a couple of friends of mine decided it was a great way to finish off the evening, but we were terribly wrong. We knew we...

4.0 of 5 stars. I've never come here in the day, only driven by, and I never will. I've come here late-late-night, where the most I've ever waited was like 15-20 mins. I've gone several times where I've only had to…
