If you don't know by now there seems to be construction at Calhoun Sq. As me and my friend were taking a shortcut to get in the mall around 11pm we came across a quaint little loungy spot named Aura. We were on our way to the independent upstairs and all of a sudden we both looked at each other and started bobbing our heads. The DJ was playing some great old school 70's funk! I loved it! I felt like i was in a Tarantino movie. We pulled up to the bar and had 2 strong cocktails as we talked about our work week. Our server was a lovely lady named Vanessa! We proceeded to go to the independent but left soon afterwards, we liked the ambiance of Aura much better. When we got back the DJ was playing some cool 80's then some great classic hip-hop and funk. We had so much fun we went back the next night. To end the night the DJ played "rockin around the xmas tree"! It's so nice to go to a place to hear music and there is no stuck-up DJ into himself playing all night. So in closing check out Aura for it's un meat market feel, strong drinks, friendly waitstaff and fantastic DJ's on Fridays and Saturdays! I'm sold! PS I was told they have great food as well, need to get there earlier next time!

I just discovered Aura and it's Happy Aura a month ago and have been back 5 times since my first visit and I'm sure I'll be back plenty more times!! It's a great little place for the neighborhood and is independently owned. I like the pizzas, but also their regular menu is good and affordable. Drinks are cheap and can get pretty busy, especially late. I definitely recommend this place!

I called to inquire about the restaurant and the receptionist there hung up on me. Needless to say, I won't be going there anytime soon.
