Tony's Cocktail Lounge

We’ve had the pleasure of being invited to this bar both as guest and to set up our food tent! Either way we get nothing but love and everyone from the security to the bartenders are always so nice! Come get Lola’s Lumpia on Friday nights!

Cheaper than most. Cold beer

Small, local, neighborhood bar, great place to unwind with a late night drink, Stephanie was awesome!

Poor service

If you like dive bars this is a good neighborhood dive bar. People are pretty friendly for the most part. It's a very small establishment so seating can be difficult. Expect to stand if you're there in the evening. There is an outdoor patio so you can bring your drink with you if you are a smoker. There are a couple pool tables but space is again, pretty limited. Bartenders are nice and attentive. They seem to have the occasional bar fight now and again but nothing that gets too out of hand.. just your normal occasional a-hole. Not convenient to bring a large group of friends but fun if you are just meeting up with one or two people. The bar itself is usually packed. Parking is pretty spread out and can be limited since it is in a shopping center. Great prices, 4 1/2 stars for a west-side dive bar! Not sure if they serve food here though, I don't think they do unfortunately as I saw no one with food and the kitchen (if there was one) would have to be so extra small. It didn't look like they sold any snacks (chips, jerky, ect.) either. But all your core beer choices are available and served cold.

Great service, always a great time.

Updated Review: Disappointing Behavior and Unprofessional Treatment

I’m updating my review after some recent events. Despite giving Stephanie, the bartender, multiple chances, her poor attitude never changed, and I’ve decided not to return. What’s even more troubling is the pressure on people I know to have me take down my review. One individual, who at 1st was allowed but hadn’t been to the bar for a while, was recently denied entry by David, the security guard. He said that Stephanie wouldn't allow this person back in unless my review was removed. This is not only unprofessional, but it’s also retaliatory behavior. It’s wrong for a business to bully or intimidate anyone for sharing their honest experience. David has also been acting inappropriately, flirting with customers and making them uncomfortable when they don’t respond. He also dated this individual he denied access to from last year b4 the summer up to quite a few weeks ago. Personal feelings should not be involved if you are going to date patrons that you should be protecting and not praying on. Such behavior creates a toxic environment and makes me question the values of this establishment. Until these issues are addressed, I cannot recommend this bar to anyone.

A Not-So-Great Experience at the Bar 😕

My evening at tonys might have started with high hopes, but it took a sharp nosedive the moment I approached the bar. Stephanie was the bartender on duty, and to put it gently, it just wasn’t a great match. While I understand that everyone can have an off night, i have been here about 4 times now and her attitude is consistently off-putting.

First impressions matter, and unfortunately, Stephanie’s lack of enthusiasm was palpable. It was as if she was not just behind the bar but also behind an invisible wall. A simple smile or friendly banter would have gone a long way in making patrons feel welcome, but instead, it felt like I was intruding on her personal space.

As for the drinks, I had anticipated some creativity, but what I received was a muddled concoction that was far from memorable. My cocktail hardly resembled what I had ordered, and the taste left much to be desired. I left with the feeling that mixing cocktails might not be her strongest suit.

Lastly, I hate to mention it, but I couldn’t help but notice an oddly pungent scent that lingered around her. I’ve been to many bars, and I certainly don’t expect everyone to perfectly uphold Michelin star standards in cleanliness, but there’s something to be said about a pleasant ambiance — and this definitely missed the mark.

I genuinely hope that Stephanie finds her groove again, whether it's improving her bartending skills, enhancing her customer service or improving her hygiene. Until then, I'll be exploring other options around town. Cheers to better nights ahead! 🥂

I recently visited Tony’s Cocktail Lounge, and my experience was nothing short of disturbing. The lack of proper security and the complete disregard for customer safety was shocking. During my visit, I witnessed an incident where a patron was physically assaulted by another, and to my horror, the security team did absolutely nothing to intervene. In fact, the security guard named David seemed more interested in antagonizing the victim than helping them. Instead of diffusing the situation, he started taunting the assaulted patron with personal insults, further escalating the tension.

It's incredibly disheartening to see a place that could be a fun night out turn into a dangerous environment due to such a lack of professionalism. The security staff clearly has no regard for the safety or well-being of the people they're supposed to protect. I won’t be returning, and I strongly advise others to reconsider visiting unless they want to risk being assaulted and insulted without any recourse.

I love this place it's a great place to hang out with your friends and play darts. Prices are very reasonable and the staff is always friendly. If you're looking for a cool little place to hang out and have fun with your friends I highly recommend.

I was here 10/12. Great place to go to.

Been coming to this place since the late 80s. Good Neighborhood bars are hard to find and this place is that! Friendly staff, prices are good. Appreciate this place!

We went there 2 weekends in a row.. Good atmosphere but overly crowded with people. Just too small. 3 pool tables always taken. Drinks were good.

Laura- thank you for the best lemon drop drink ever!!!!

I found this nice neighborhood bar shortly after moving into the neighborhood. On my first visit, I was made to feel right at home. The service from the bartenders is fabulous. The place is always busy, which adds to the enjoyment . If you're in the area, stop on in and give it a try, and at worst, you will become a regular.
