“Sugar Suite is my favorite bar in the valley! I usually come on Monday and Friday after work to see the blonde bartender! She makes the best Michelada and is the sweetest! The atmosphere is always great. Don’t forget to stay for Karla after her on Mondays!“

“Had a great experience here. The vibe and overall atmosphere was calming and quiet. Not say there weren’t any customers, there were plenty, but just a very nice place to hang and have some cocktails and chat. Would recommend, and the bartenders were super friendly and chill, and knowledgeable about the drinks and flavor profiles.“

“We enjoyed the drinks as well as the food and the ambience 👍🏽😎“

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Casita! Brittany, the concierge, and our server Delilah provided exceptional, warm, and professional service that truly stood out. The food was not only delicious but also incredibly flavorful, and the atmosphere was simply stunning—inviting, elegant, and perfectly suited for a memorable evening. We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed every moment. This was an experience to remember, and we’re already looking forward to coming back soon!“

It was a genuinely enjoyable experience from start to finish. I'm already looking forward to coming back. You should definitely check it out if you're craving some amazing noodles. It's a winner in my book!“

“Loved everything about this place!
Staff was excellent and attentive. Food was amazing and very, very creative. The brick barrel vaulted ceiling that runs the length of the restaurant really adds to the ambiance of this place. Out of the seven dishes, only two were not as flavorful as expected. They were good by most other restaurant's standards, but just not great like the others. The other five dishes more than made up for this small blip.Can't wait to go again.

Must tries:
Quail Deviled Eggs with Ahi Tuna and Dill are amazing!!
Hamachi with sprouted broccoli, tempura, ponzu, shiso aioli, Black Sesame Seeds
Charred Brussels Sprouts with almonds, grapes, and Pecorino Romano
Lamb chops with Aji Amarillo, rosemary, and yogurt. These were the most tender lamb chops I have ever had. And that often overly-lamb flavor was not there.
And do not pass up on the Charred Skirt Steak with yuca, chile de árbol, and aji mojo. Cooked to a perfect medium rare and extremely tender and exploding with flavor. The most expensive item of our dinner at $48 and absolutely worth it.“

“The artistic name of the bistro matches the artistry and delicious flavors of the cuisine. A threesome: vegetarian, vegan, and carnivore found a multitude of savory options. Our waiter/thesbian: Chris was charming and anticipated our every request. Foreseeing a return.“

“Maui Sugar Mill Saloon is one of those rare places that feels less like a typical night out and more like stepping into a living, breathing slice of local culture.

From the moment you arrive, there’s an immediate sense that this venue has its own personality. It doesn’t try to imitate modern, overly polished entertainment spots—instead, it embraces a more authentic, slightly vintage, and effortlessly cool atmosphere. That character alone makes it stand out in a world where many places start to feel interchangeable.

What truly makes this place special is its energy. There’s a certain unpredictability in the best possible way—you never quite know how the night will unfold, but you can be sure it will be memorable. The space feels intimate yet lively, with a layout that naturally encourages connection, conversation, and shared experiences.

One of the strongest impressions comes from the live entertainment. The performances here don’t feel like background noise—they feel like the heartbeat of the room. Whether it’s music, local talent, or spontaneous moments that happen throughout the night, everything contributes to an atmosphere that feels genuine and unforced. It’s the kind of place where you catch yourself getting fully absorbed in the moment without even realizing it.

The crowd adds another layer to the experience. There’s a nice mix of regulars and newcomers, all blending together in a relaxed, welcoming environment. It creates a sense of community that is increasingly rare to find. People aren’t just passing through—they’re part of the experience, even if just for the evening.

The staff plays an important role in maintaining that vibe. Friendly, attentive, and grounded, they help keep everything running smoothly while still preserving the laid-back spirit of the place. There’s no sense of rush or pressure—just an easygoing approach that lets the night unfold naturally.

What I appreciated most is that Maui Sugar Mill Saloon doesn’t rely on flashy gimmicks. Its charm comes from authenticity. It’s a place that knows exactly what it is and doesn’t try to be anything else. That confidence translates into a consistently enjoyable experience where the focus is simply on good moments, good energy, and good company.

By the end of the visit, it’s not just about what you saw or heard—it’s about the feeling you leave with. A sense of having been part of something real, something local, something that still values atmosphere and human connection over trends.

It’s the kind of place you don’t just visit once. You return because it feels familiar, comfortable, and alive in a way that’s hard to replicate anywhere else. A true hidden gem for anyone who appreciates live energy, community spirit, and a relaxed, unforgettable night out.“

“Great experience and amazing Thai food at this location.

The ambience here is amazing. Very rustic feel indeed, giving meaning to its name Rustic Spoon.

They have parking in the back and when walking in, you immediately are transformed into an experience. The ambience slaps you in the face and doesn’t let go.

We had drunken noodles and Kropaw chicken basil stirfry that was amazing. We started with Tom Kah soup and super yummy.

Come check the place out. Support the local businesses and have some amazing food.

Oh, almost forgot to say that they’re bloody lychees are out of this world. Amazing drink with pomegranate and lychee, and I would come back for just this.“

“Docs is one of the most fun bars to play. My band BlackHeart played there every month and the staff treated us great! Sarah always communicated and kept us in the loop. All of the bartenders and door guys made us feel welcome and enjoyed our rock style of music. We love it there and BlackHeart thanks them and will hopefully be back in house soon! Thanks guys! Docs Inn rocks!“

“I really love this place! Cocktails menu is amazing, the Lychee Mojito 10/10, always a must for me.
Place was packed, of course it was a Friday night and the Lakers were playing, I recommend making s reservation.
Despite how busy the place was, out server David took care of us, great service and delicious food!“

“What an amazing neighborhood bar!! I’ve been to the many iterations of this bar, and this is a Great place. Karaoke, games, tables and couches to sit on and hang out with friends, a pool table and outdoor patio.
I unfortunately didn’t catch the karaoke lady’s name but she remembered my name.
Celebrated my 19 anniversary with friends and we had a great time.
Super honest people there too- a purse was left at our table when we moved to a different part of the bar, and they had put our purse behind the bar. We will definitely be back. Drinks were a little expensive, but everything is going up in price. Worth it to have a cute neighborhood bar. It was a nice mix of straight and gay, young and older.
Thank you, Happy Rabbit! We’ll be back again soon.“

“Even though we were tourists, it was a very friendly local bar with a great atmosphere! The bartender was very kind even though he translated it into Papago for us because he couldn't speak English. The atmosphere was very nice and there were a lot of different beers, which was great! From a foreigner's perspective, coming to a local bar can be very scary, but this place was very comfortable, friendly, and fun! And the store had a nice atmosphere and the bathroom was clean, so I really liked it! It was a store near my accommodation, and I want to go there again before I go back to Korea! It was a store where everyone was satisfied :)“

“The Rendition Room is hands down my favorite spot in LA. From the moment you step through the hidden bookshelf door, it’s like you’ve been transported back to the 1930s…intimate, cozy, and just the right amount of mystery. But what really makes this place shine is Richy. He’s not just a bartender; he’s a mixologist in every sense of the word. Every drink he makes feels like it’s been crafted just for you. Beyond that, Richy’s warmth and sincerity are what truly set him apart. You’re not just another customer to him…he makes you feel welcome, like an old friend, every time you stop by. The Rendition Room nails it when it comes to atmosphere, cocktails, and overall vibe. Whether you’re celebrating something big or just want a cool night out, this is the place. It’s a hidden gem that never disappoints.“

“On Valentine's Day, my friend and I looked for a good restaurant to take our family. We found this restaurant called Blossom on Ventura blvd. But I looked in reviews and I saw some 1 star. I can not judge someone's reviews because if you see some unhappy customers with 1 or 2 stars, where are the other 1000 happy customers? We called and reserved the table, We arrived around 8pm for dinner. The place was packed, all the tables full, live music and a good lighting system put you in a good mood. We said definitely this is the place we want. We really enjoy the place. We had good food and a full liquor bar. Hard to find In LA to be all one place with good food, drink, DJ and dance floor. Definitely we will go there again and highly recommend it.“

“great quaity and bartenders too excellenlt martinis and suberb wine“

“Tried the Margherita pizza and the avocado egg rolls at Finney's Crafthouse, and both were really good. The pizza had a nice crispy crust with fresh tomatoes, basil, and just the right amount of cheese. The avocado egg rolls were crispy without being greasy, and the dipping sauce was so good that we finished every bite. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere made it a great spot to relax. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.“

“They have the best KJ in town!“

“Mr. Furley's is just a fun place to hang out. Great pub food, a huge beer selection, pool tables, dartboards, and a laid-back atmosphere. I stopped in on a Sunday night, and even after midnight the place was packed, which was awesome to see since I'm visiting from Kauai.

A big thank you to Gabriel behind the bar. He acknowledged me with a quick nod as soon as I walked up, letting me know he'd be with me in a minute. It's a small gesture, but it made a great first impression. Friendly service, great food, and a great vibe. I'll definitely be back.“

“We got quite a few drinks and each one tastes amazzzzzingggg! I absolutely loved the environment and everything this place stands for! I talked to the manager for a bit about the bar and there was so much love and appreciation behind every word showed me the passion being poured into the craft! Absolutely love this place!“

“Great food Great service. Fantastic drinks“

“Delicious food and drinks!!!“

“Chela’s Cantina is an awesome spot to kick back, have fun, and enjoy a great night out. Thursday karaoke nights are definitely my favorite — great energy, good crowd, and always a fun atmosphere.

The ceviche is absolutely amazing, the drinks are on point, and the bartenders… well, you’ll just have to come see for yourself. 😄

If you’re looking for a place with good vibes, music, great food, and a fun nightlife experience, Chela’s Cantina is definitely worth checking out.“

“rib eye steak is the best“

“Absolutely loved Alto. You can feel the attention to detail in everything from the open fire and the beautiful cooking to the warm, genuine hospitality. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and every dish felt thoughtful and well-balanced.

The lamb, peppers, and trout were standouts for me. Exceptional flavors, great atmosphere, and a team that makes you feel truly welcome. Can’t wait to return!“
