Beer is good and reasonably priced, the food is terrible and overpriced. Odd situation ?

This place recently changed ownership and is now Bruno's. It used to a good Taco Tuesday deal with $5 house pints and 50% off the taco plates. It is now $7 pints all day (so no happy hour) and 30% off taco plates. So not such a good deal. In addition I was treated rudely when my food order was messed up. So not going back there, plenty of other better places for tacos and beer in Downtown.

I was planning on being a customer here, until I used the restroom and heard snarky remarks about me not being a customer. Not a welcoming environment and a disappointing experience. I took my business elsewhere.

This is the WORST food place and bar in HB. The staff is extremely rude and uneducated, they should go back to the cave they came from. The food is disgusting, frozen food not clean. This small man was yelling at us telling us he closes the restaurant whenever he wants, he smelled like alcohol and weed. Their local beer is watered down and does not taste good at all. This is why the place is always empty. DO NOT GO don’t fall in this tourist trap. Overpriced for bad food and water beer.

cost us $240 for 7 people, about 35 dollars per person. got 3 $5 happy hour appetizers and 3 happy hour beers which should’ve cut it down. we were forgotten multiple times and had to go inside from the patio once just to have someone take our order. waited 20+ minutes for the bill and almost went inside again. place was almost empty. except for the lack of service the workers were very nice the few times we saw them and what i assume to be the owner was amazing when greeting us. extremely expensive food for very skimpy appetizers and sides and a lack of service in general. food was not exceptional either, especially for the over the top prices. our family has NEVER spent that much money on a meal even in other places in cali with better food and service where we ordered more. thankfully we are from out of town and will not be back.

Great atmosphere, pretty good food, great service. I'd definitely recommend. My only hang up is that the cocktails weren't good at all. We couldn't even drink them. They were way too strong. Was kinda weird given how great everything else was. Highly recommend you go here, just stick to beer in my opinion.

Awesome atmosphere with great food, music & kareoke. The service was outstanding. This restaurant is family friendly. We strongly recommend the Hawaiian ahi tuna tacos, shrimp tacos, blackened chicken pasta, and the kids macaroni & cheese. We all really enjoyed listening to the music, watching the Kareoke singers, and eating the delicious food.

This place has no vibe and its dingy. We ordered nachos with Carne asada and everything tasted like it was out of a can. Definitely, not worth 20 bucks. Also, seems like the staff has a communication issue, I asked for the house IPA. Our male waiter ( forgot his name - younger guy with dark hair) ,said it was in the process of tap change. I was willing to wait. Later he came by and said they ran out. I found out after paying - that they had the house IPA available. There are better choices down the street thats way better.
