My friend likes coming to this bar. Ive only ever gone with her and Halloween night would have been my 2nd time there. The entire staff seemed so entitled and snobby and just plain rude and possibly racists ( I don’t know) I’m usually a pretty friendly person and try to engage in convo. These people were not having it which is fine but wow I felt really uncomfortable asking for help from the bar staff. Definitely an attempt to gentrify this place however they seem to forget their location of business lol not sure that I’ll be returning so they succeeded in running me off. Lol

Got here at 12:36 Thursday and they said they are closes. Well, then change it on google maps so I don’t have to waste my time driving when it states you’re open till 2am.
Awesome Cocktail Bar!

Chill atmosphere. Tasty drinks and good djs. I went on Thursday night and the crowd was dancing having a good time. Big patio to kickback also.

Had a great time here for CONFLICT PARTY. Service was great and everyone was so chill. Johnny Piss is tart, tangy and freaking delicious! Thank you Grasshopper for hosting such a awesome evening!

Vibes are great. Atmosphere varies but always just right. Staff is always slightly rude, but I guess that’s keeping with the old school dive feel. It doesn’t offend me enough to care, cause I still like coming back. lol
I didn’t like the music
Too much old (cumbia music)
The tequila mint/cucumber and (maybe) aloe cocktail with lime was awesome!
Good spot with chill vibes and an even better bartender. 10/10 would recommend

Giving it a low rating because they close at 12 when it says it closes at 2am
Been coming here since they opened, often with friends who DJ or join us for a fun night out.
But our most recent visit? Absolutely unacceptable. We came with a big group—easily 20 people throughout the night—and noticed something shady. The female barback repeatedly grabbed our drinks while they were still full and bolted off with them. This didn’t feel accidental—it came off like a calculated move to get us to keep buying more. It happened to multiple people we were with.
When we flagged it with the bartender, the response was incredibly dismissive. They offered a single comped drink for the whole group, as if that made up for multiple stolen ones worth over $100. Later, when some of us went to close out and raise the issue again, the bartender literally waved us off mid-sentence and walked away. Completely rude and unprofessional.
Avoid!
Thanks for the sanitary explanation! I'll update my review.
Drinks are good. The bartender was good and fast. The patio is a nice touch, except it closes early and everyone has to move inside. Parking is typical for the location. The store behind the bar wants $10 to use their lot... Saw a pizza oven outside but got there too late to try it out. A taco stand would be gangbusters!
Not a dive bar, they put care into the atmosphere.
There wasn't any food, but the drinks were awesome. We usually go early in the afternoon so we can take our pup and chill in the patio area

This is a review for my most recent experience here (10/6). I had such a great time here on Cumbia night the week prior (9/28) that I brought other friends here most recently. The staff that night was outstanding. Great service, especially the bartender closest to dj booth kept the drinks coming fast and with a great attitude. The dj (a pair of women) kept the crowd moving and having a blast.
Fast forward a week later and the staff is terrible. No drinks for 20 minutes and the entire bar is waiting for a drink. Look down the line and see no hope of having one. The staff has a miserable attitude, particularly the bearded man nearest the dj booth. The bartender with a "brujeria" hat was the only one with a sense of urgency. The dj (house dj) that night could simply not read the crowd and i unfortunately looked very silly to my friends about this spot that I had previously praised so highly.
