We went and on a Saturday night and the crowds age groups was 40''s. They have a bar with good drinks that are reasonably priced but seating was limited. They have a 2nd floor but the seats were a bit odd. Our biggest complaint is when we had called before we were informed they play R&b and hip hop but we did not hear even one song in the genre. They had Dj but everyone just stood on the dance floor. I really wish the dj would read the crowd. Then they had live bands that played Latin music. We gave up and left at midnight. Just wish we were given the correct information

Came here after looking at the happy hour menu online, found out that they weren’t running it any more (only HH for drinks). Happy hour includes: $6 drafts, $4 bottles, $5 well drinks, $6 margaritas / palomas.Unfortunately, their hazy IPA was tapped out, so we stuck to blue moons / pacificos. They were out of shrimp, so I went for the beef barbacoa tacos, which were excellent (handmade fried tortillas, fresh ingredients).Will come back to try other items, all in all a decent experience.

THE BOUNCERS ARE RACIST!!!!!! they didn't let me black friend in because he was wearing capris with boots !!!! it was cold and RAINING (keep in mind i was wearing boots with a skirt) he wore his boots because of the weather and wore his cutest little capris for when cities turn into club but this place likes to discriminate so we take out money somewhere else that doesn't care about gender expression!!

First time here ever. Celebrating my birthday. Was put down by the kj. It's ok he brings his own ppl. But when you get new customers acknowledge them. So sad came from OC it was their own atmosphere. We spent money at the bar and they where great. Angelo and Jessie thank you for the warm welcome. After this experience my friend changed her mind about celebrating her party here. Just sad. I have friends in different area codes and I thought I could introduce them here but.... nooo!!!

WENT HERE FOR OUR HOLIDAY CHRISTMAS PARTY- IT WAS CUTE! GOOD FOOD! GREAT SERVICE! Food: 5/5 Okay, I was expecting to like the big burger I got! Never been a fan of burgers, but the queso fundido burger was a 10/10! The chorizo was AMAZING! The egg wasn't too runny, yet not too over cooked, and the jalapeño was grilled just right ! Their garlic fries were out of this world, and I'm just not a French fry girl! Service:5/5 They were so kind to us, they let us take Christmas pictures on their stage where the Christmas tree was, and anytime we needed something, they for sure let us know! All around: 5/5 Id come back again! That burger was the best I've ever had, honestly. Looking forward to ordering it again!

I came to Cities Restaurant on a Thursday night. The Martgaritas are on point! And Karaoke ? was so much fun! The karaoke host Charly has a never-ending karaoke song list. Any song I wanted, he had it?. And everyone was just vibing having fun .I had a great time!
I did not eat here, but I did go to the nightclub. DJ Swank, Robert V, and Manny Q were rocking the scene with music. Clean atmosphere, Matt the bartender was cool as well. He was polite and professional. The clientele was good, and there were no snappers.They have 2 levels and 2 dance floors. I liked it a lot, I will return. ????

I have been coming back here with colleagues because of the food. Service is fast during low traffic but expect to wait long for food during busy hours. Managers are very accommodating. The place can be noisy (as expected). Parking is in the lots near the freeway, NOT behind the building.

Came to Cities Restaurant for a business mixer and was not impressed with the ambiance, food or service. I ordered a mixed-drink, and it was weak and full of ice. Instead of having servers walk around with apetizers trays, the appetizers were placed in a dark corner of the room on a table with no thongs to grab them. There was Karoake too and some people sang. The place is spacious with a full bar area. The lighting seemed murky, fuzzy and darkish. There's an upstairs floor, but it was closed. The restroom area and hallway looked rather dark, spooky or smoky or both. I made the sign of the cross before entering and found the men's bathroom was functional, but not stocked with TP, cologne, mints or towels.

Had a great evening at Cities Restaurant & Lounge. Chef Stephen does an amazing job with the menu. His red enchilada sauce was amazing and had a nice heat. The shrimp tacos were really good. The homemade tortillas were soft and really made each dish. The entertainment aspect was great, we enjoyed performing here and the DJs, Alex Transistor and Frank Cortez, kept the crowd partying! A fun event by Victor Felix presents!

Preface: Did not have food here. Came Saturday evening around 9:30pm. Grabbed a ginger beer ($5) and a beer ($9). Kitchen was already closed so they were only serving nachos, fries, sliders. Sports playing on the TVs at the bar. Music started off being hip hop and changed into Spanish stuff. Fairly empty until around 10pm when the crowd trickled in, the music changed, and folks made it out to the dance floor. The DJ was good and got the place moving! Pretty chill vibe. Didn't feel unwelcomed or uncomfortable with the late 30s and 40s mostly Hispanic crowd. Would recommend for a chill night out! Women's toilets could use some improved cleaning as typical for these types of places.
Great place to go out for drinks ?
