Cocktail Bars near Mission Hills

“Our Thanksgiving dinner at the Safari Room was a truly memorable experience. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere transported us to a nostalgic, old-school setting that felt warm, inviting, and full of character. The décor carries a classic charm that adds a sense of history and tradition to the dining experience—perfect for a holiday meal with family.

For my entrée, I ordered the pork chops, and they were exceptional—perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. My family chose the Thanksgiving special, complete with turkey, gravy, pie, and all the traditional sides. Everything was prepared with great care, well-seasoned, and pleasantly portioned. It was the kind of meal that reminds you why this holiday matters: simple, comforting food served with pride.

The bar is another highlight. They offer a wide selection of cocktails, and the two I tried were both excellent—balanced, creative, and made with quality ingredients. Whether you’re a cocktail lover or just curious to explore, the bar alone is worth the visit.

If there is room for improvement, it would simply be to continue enhancing the service pace during busier moments, as the quality of the food and ambiance deserves a dining experience that is consistently smooth from start to finish.

Overall, the Safari Room is a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion or enjoy a classic dinner with loved ones. With its nostalgic atmosphere, flavorful dishes, and impressive cocktail selection, it is absolutely worth a visit. I look forward to returning.“

“I love this bar. It's a one stop shop for pool, conversation, and cheap well crafted drinks. Always bring cash! You'll thank me later. They do take cards, but bring the cash. Also occasionally on a Sunday, or Monday, a v3ry fine gentleman will make me day food for the patrons. And it's 100%, always delicious. Stop in, make a new friend.“

“Awesome place……………………………….“
