Taiga Lounge

Comments : We have been patrons at this establishment several times and always had a decent experience. This last experience was not one of them. Apparently the younger son now owns the place (he's the one with the ponytail). The mother is apparently the head cook, and when we requested a substitution on the appetizer platter we were told it would not be allowed. So we ordered our hummus and falafel. The hummus was warm and bland, no olives available to serve it with. The falafel was good but served with pickles that had no flavor and some anemic tomatoes. But the real problem was the music. It was heavy hip-hop with heavy overtones of offensive language (bitch, nigger, pussy) that really seemed out of place for such a nice restaurant. We called over the manager (the father?) and requested that he put on a less offensive music. He offered jazz and we were fine with that. A couple of jazz songs played and then the same offensive music started again. As we left we asked to speak with the owner and told him how we felt about the music. He flat out told us if we didn't like it there were other bars we could go to, that's what he plays at his restaurant period, it didn't matter how we felt, and dished out various obnoxious rude and shocking insults. It was unbelievable. Obviously we won't be going back.

Cons : staff

Comments : Good place to party with friends. Parking is difficult to get a spot, but go early you'll find a spot. Great spot to host an event or party( birthday, etc.)upstairs in the club atmosphere.

Comments : Taiga has gone through a lot of ups and downs so if you have not been there in a while you should definitely check it out again. This is a great place to offer Brandon patrons a real club and nightlife experience without the drive into Tampa.

Comments : EXCELLENT NIGHT CLUB!!

Comments : Brandon doesn't have a lot to offer when it comes to nightlife but Taiga has everything you need. Multiple floors, specials every day, pool, big screen tvs, great bartenders and an outside patio. Basically this place is your nightlife destination for everything from watching football to hosting a birthday party.
