Bartender was very rude and aggressive as soon as I entered with my service animal. He tried everything in his power to stop me from bringing my service animal into the bar. We weren’t even going to be in the bar, but rather in the back courtyard for a pizza pop up. He was insensitive to someone with a disability. After telling him what the service my animal provides, he said we don’t allow emotional support animals. We then showed him the service animal card, which he finally said ok. Drinks were whatever.

They kicked my pregnant friend out because she was feeling sick and needed to lay horizontal on the bench. I understand people aren’t allowed to be passing out drunk in the bar, but I have trouble seeing how being pregnant and still wanting to attend your friend’s birthday is a problem, but apparently being pregnant and lying down are a threat to the business. So OK.

ABLEIST AND UNLAWFUL. Bar Bandini does not give a damn about people with disabilities. My girlfriend has a legally registered service dog for a nonvisible disability. Despite the sign in the window alleging that service dogs are welcome, the bouncer refused to let us in. He blamed people who lie about disabilities for ruining it for individuals like my girlfriend and suggested we contact the manager. In case you’re unfamiliar with the ADA, this is literally against the law. You guys should be ashamed and will never receive business from me again. Beyond disgusted.

222 people are great in the sense that they were actually speaking to one another.

Rude service, I asked for a recommendation and was met with sarcasm. They also changed the amount that I tipped and put a different amount which is fraudulent. Untrustworthy business.

Rats. At the door , everywhere else.

I visited Bandini for a date night, and it was my fourth time there. EVERY visit, the bartender’s rude attitude and dismissive looks have ruined the mood. The staff seemed annoyed by every question, making us feel totally unwelcome. It was supposed to be a special evening, but we left early feeling let down again. I'm DONE with these people. DO not ruin your night. Find something else.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and it was dead. They don't serve food here and the bartender, an older guy, was in a bad mood. I got bad vibes from him so I left. Bar Flores up the street was way more fun and packed and they had tacos.

came here for a date night, the place was extremely beautiful and ambient. loved the inside mood lighting and the outdoor patio was a great option for some fresh air. unfortunately the older bartender wasn’t so friendly - i would like to give him the benefit of the doubt and hope he just had a bad day or something but as someone who also works in the food service industry, the way you talk to your customers is really important. i didn’t appreciate the way he treated us and spoke to us like we were a bother to him. we ended up leaving shortly after because the environment just didn’t feel welcoming. it’s a shame cause the place is actually super cute.

Not dog friendly despite having a patio that is basically a glorified parking lot.
I won’t go to any business that does not accept cash.

Nice little spot. The drinks are decent, and I loved the vibe; the paintings are stunning.

Fun and welcoming atmosphere inside. Music and conversation levels were perfect. Outside area was nice as well. Only complain is the wines by the glass were fairly common and not spectacular. Expected something a little elevated from a wine bar.
