Urbano California Bistro Reviews
Showed up at 9pm on 1 March 2024 to have a good time for a birthday. First time there and the atmosphere, and service was average. The mixed drinks were very sweet, watered down, and not decently priced for the amount of liquor in each one. Entrance fee was $20...not a problem...what made it a problem was the DJ. The DJ would stop the music 5+ times during a track for shout-outs. Now the shout-outs didn't happen between songs, like good DJs should, they happened during. It was horrible and it was like playing musical chairs on the dance floor. I think the only reason people did not say much is because the patrons were an older crowd around their late 40s and up. Another note on the DJ...it appeared they couldn't read the room, because they tried playing club music with a crowd of older folks that appeard to be rancheros. The dance floor would empty when latino club music would play, and the DJ didn't appear to catch on because, from what I remember, it happened 5 times within the 3 hours I was there.
In summary, I do not recommend anyone come here for the music when they have their DJs going. Especially if you're being charged a $20 entrance fee to listen to a DJ that stops music 5+ times duing a track for shout outs.
Good luck Urbanos and I hope you improve, because I wont be going back or recommend your establishment to anyone.
Maybe when I forget my experience and don't remember if I was a patron, I may go back...and hopefully there is a change by then.
