“From the outside it looks like a dive. I love a good dive. But one step inside and your olfactory nerves transport you to Vegas. Maybe the Cosmo, maybe the Venetian. Either way it’s amazing. Then the smell of grilled hot dogs, it must be Slots of Fun… next order whiskey and they have my absolute favorite: Writer’s Tears. Come visit Nicole.

Don’t forget to tip your bartender.“

“Fun sports bar in Hayward! It’s a great place to hangout with friends. They have a pool table, private clean bathrooms and plenty of seating. My friends and I always feel like family when we come here and the owner Judy is such a gem and makes everyone feel welcomed.“

“Cool place, it was my first time here with friends. It's a local in Fremont close to home. My friend one of them had beer and the other one and myself had water. We were treated very well. We didn't order any food as we came here after dinner. We played darts and enjoyed the DJ music and left before midnight. I might go again to this place. There are pool tables and other games to play and engage with friends or dance on the floor. The cool vibe and servers are very friendly and helpful with the service.

Parking: Less parking spots but the ones are there, they are free.“

“We started with the truffle fries and brussel sprouts. The fries were light and perfectly cooked and these were the best brussel sprouts I’ve ever had (and I order them whenever I can). I had the asparagus salad with chicken which I’m still thinking about the next day. The ingredients were super fresh and the chicken tender. The warm asparagus and chicken on the crisp salad was very satisfying and the flavor mix could not have been better. Service was very friendly and attentive and the ambience was really nice, lot of wood and candle light. Would be a perfect date night restaurant.“

“I stopped into Soon's before meeting a friend for dinner last night. What a cozy, warm vibe. The bartender Bea introduced herself and asked my name. Showed me the bottles of wine they had available. Six dollars for a nice glass of merlot. Fun music. The patrons were friendly and having a great time. Looking forward to stopping in again soon.“

“I recommend the pancakes.great people .Great conversations with the owners.if you eat here you will not leave hungry“

“Loved our experience but the only negative is it gets loud and I found myself talking loud. Given that the tables are so close to each other, I think everyone talks louder to be heard. Everything else was amazing and I'd still tell everyone to go. :)“

“It wasn't busy yet and the service was a little slow but the food was good. I wanted it to be hotter. My seat was very dirty next to me and that bothered me. And then they had live music setting up next to our table, it was a little awkward. Pretty good. Could do better.“

“Muy buen lugar pa ir a escuchar las bandas fuy a escuchar alos Montoya de guamúchil sinaloa y muy bonito todo gracias farallón por traer este tipo de bandas, el personal de seguridad muy honestos, las meseras muy atentas y el lugar muy limpio un lugar mi vien para pasarla trankilon y relax“

“we love the vibe, service and menu at GLK on Grand and have been going there for years. On our last visit we were surprised by how salty the food was. I think the cooks are overly generous with salt. Both our brussel sprouts and the scallops were really over salted. Next visit we will be sure to order low/no salt, and send back anything that's too salty.“

“A great stop, especially during happy hour! Service was quick, friendly and excellent! Patio dining on a nice day adds to the downtown experience. Food was flavorful and drinks were delicious too! Great spot for a date night or special occasion with friends and family.“

“I almost didn’t want to share my review because I don’t want this place to get super packed lol. But this is the only place with the best and delicious happy hour special within the bishop center. Trust me, all the other ones are way over priced even for their “happy hour” prices. I only come here for drinks so I can’t review the food. I highly recommend the golden state margarita and the ambikas grove! Ps happy hour is from 4-6. You’re welcome “
