My friends and I went for a beer and the waiter was not very welcoming…I understood the why later: We ordered beer over the bar, the bill came with a default Tip and it says something like “for the wellness of the … “Why can’t the owner of the place pay their employees well, let the customer have a good and welcoming experience, and let them decide how much tip to add.

I started off with trading for myself but i noticed the huge difference in profits earned while i worked with an expert. With $500 I earned $6,000 in 7 days of trade. Edna Albert is the only one i can easily recommend. Email:

Awesome spot on Rainey, nice vibe good crowd. Staff, management, and owners are all very nice

We enjoyed the afternoon sitting at first inside to eat and then sat outside listening to live music.Lots of outside seating.The staff is VERY friendly and efficient.Burgers were juicy and delicious.

I don't appreciate being charged random fees. 18% gratuity for what? A COVID recovery fee? This is an tired excuse to nickel and dime your patrons.It's very unethical to not mention these things up front. And I would be very surprised if your employees actually received any of this "recovery fee"Most of the drinks are pre-made and super expensive. I guess you pay for atmosphere while you're on Rainy. This is just another pretentious bar ran by pretentious people. Nothing else to see here folks!

WOW! Idle Hands was so much fun to hang out at. The music was relaxing reggae the whole time, and the drinks were cold with fast service. We would come back, for sure.

One of the nicer options to grab a drink on Rainey Street; particularly on a sunny Friday afternoon - good cocktails, friendly staff, live music.

Great place for Sunday funday, especially when the weather is nice. Great place to meet new people.

Great people watching location

Drinks here a solid. Fun vibe. Definitely worth a visit on Rainy Street.
