“It’s a safe and enjoyable place to relax and have a great time.“

“We had dinner at Wistaria last night and the food was delicious (we had the beet and goat cheese salad and the trout almondine and salmon dishes). We had such a positive experience that we decided to make this our go-to restaurant whenever we are in the area. I actually decided to write this review because of the kind service--after I left. I was convinced that I had left my cell phone at the restaurant (my phone had died and my apple watch indicated that the phone was there), and the staff person who answered the phone kindly looked for it and then patiently explained that if the phone had died, my apple watch may be indicating its last known location, but not its present location. She was right, and I soon found my phone--with a completely dead battery. Nevertheless, I appreciated her taking the time to reassure me--despite how busy I know that staff can be at that restaurant. We had planned to return for the wonderful food, but now we will definitely be returning for the delicious food, charming atmosphere, and more-than-helpful service!“

“My first time there today. It's my father's 71st birthday. For the past 13 years, every year on his birthday, I stop by a bar, order myself a beer, and order him a beer. All I have to say is Thank you, Jessica, and I'm sorry for your loss as well“

“Hungry Bird is new in town, and I’m lucky enough to live just a few blocks away. This was my first visit, and I loved it! Everything looked and tasted delicious. They have chicken, beef, seafood, and pork skewers, plus noodles and sushi rolls. I came for the skewers, and I’d definitely come back to try more.

Thank you, Hungry Bird!

— One happy, hungry customer“

“ITS A REALLY COOL, CHILL SPOT TO HAVE A FEW BEERS AT. THE BARTENDER LADY IS THE BEST. SHE IS ON TOP OF WHATEVER IT IS THAT SHE HAS TO DO. MY BROTHER AND WILL GO EVERY OTHER WEEK. WE'LL HAVE A FEW BEERS AND PLAY ON THEIR DART MACHINES. IT'S A REALLY GREAT ENVIRONMENT IN THERE ALL THE TIME. ITS NOT TOO SPACIOUS, BUT THAT DOES NOT STOP IT FROM BEING A RELAXING SPOT TO GO CHILL WITH YOUR PEOPLE. I RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE. WELL NOT EVERYONE, ONLY 21 YRS AND OLD“

“Thursday Nights !! A+ Bartender Rosie goes above and beyond . I’m not only if she friendly and acknowledges any and every person who walks in she’s not like other bartenders I’ve seen other establishments who are on their phone more than they are working. She brings in a collective of different patrons all friendly Never once not felt safe when I am there It’s a shame the other Bartenders at this places sister establishment in Covina were as well Trained as Rosie. Or even new had to make a drink Tina’s Tavern Thursdays Hands down the place to be“

“buen ambiente .tranquilo lugar .amables y limpio“

“I was there for a 30 yr old birthday with a friend and it was a nice atmosphere Kareoke was good lots of nice voices ( I can make a choir out of them) LOL. All in all it good. But I left early cause I don't like staying out to late so 10ish was a good time to go home.“

“Finally! I was able to stop by this place on a Thursday.

Bianca was just cool. She let us sample a couple of beers and poured with a smile.

This very unpretentious spot is what it is.

Fun, clean, good vibe-e, small but with a big feeling and bonus there’s a mini-stage, patio, and a pool table.

Good beer selection.

Good prices.

A dive bar meets a hole in the wall with the best atmosphere.

It was karaoke night. It was fun.

People that are just looking for a pint in a super relaxed, super chill, super be YOU setting and simply cool.

First time and definitely not my last.

Don’t blink because you might just miss this place.

Bonus, it’s walking distance from The Hat and Wendy’s in case you get hungry.

Occasionally, yes, a food truck will pop up and it makes it all even better

You should swing by this spot ASAP.

Hope you’re enjoying your summer.“

“Perfect to have a good time with family and friends.“

“Comedy night is a blast on Sundays. I’ve been here twice now and I think it’s a great little club/bar“

“It was a lovely afternoon tea. The weather was perfect for tea (rainy and overcast)! Our sever was so kind and gracious! And took very good care of our party. The host was also very accommodating wiith our requests too! The sandwiches and desserts were delicious but the scones really stood out! If you haven't had a chance, do treat yourself! The Langham itself is a beautiful place, Elegant and charming!“

“I dont know what you are looking for when you get the cheapest beers in town and the least expensive billiards game at the same time....but just in case those were the two things you sought out tonight....this would be the place. People come and go and the regulars are awesome welcoming and understanding. What else can I say about a place????“

“Incredible Chef The options when dining incredible Super Duper Service And if you ask nicely they will make something not on the menu… have visited 6 times“

“Nice atmosphere, and good service . Food was okay . Not sure what else to write in order for this to post 🤷🏻‍♀️“

“nice place to have a cold one“

“It had been nearly 15 years since my last visit. I must say the decor is exactly as I remembered. Took 3 minutes to be seated then we were greeted by the most friendly and attentive waiter I’ve EVER had at any restaurant . I’m a huge lover of the cabbage salad so I gorged on a big bowl before dinner. I ordered a medium rare fillet and potato and it was cooked to perfection. I so wish I lived nearby as I would pay it a regular visit. I’m so glad the Clearmans Northwoods inn has not been changed.“

“So I usually do this when I go out of town, I goggle dive bar near me, well this is it. A good place for drinks and karaoke on a Wednesday night with KJ Helen, just come on in and just blend in. Sing a song, no one knows you anyway, Once you visit, you'll be telling yourself the next morning, yes that was a dive bar. Say Hi to the lovely always polite bartender Nancy.“

“Love how you can buy food from Whole Foods salad bar and come in and enjoy it at Shuffle Bar. It's connected to Whole Foods, so it makes sense. It's never crowded, and there's a decent size t.v where you can watch sports games and get a cold adult beverage.
You can order food from the Shuffle Bar menu as well. It might be a better option, especially for hot items. It will be served warm and fresh.“

“Enjoyed our quiet outdoor meal last night. Everything was delicious 😋“

“I had only been here for a quick drink and I must say it's a hidden gem.... The drinks and ambiance were amazing!!! I had to come back for brunch with my girls and we were not disappointed. From our waiter Alec to the food and drinks....AMAZING!!! It's a must try. I will definitely come back to try their dinner.“

“Every dish was delectable, and great service! We all had a fantastic time there! Definitely will be back, and for celebrations.“

“This is place has the best events and open mics ! They also hold game nights with karaoke and food is delicious especially the popcorn chicken and dumplings 🥟! Place is only open during private events/parties or during big sports events! If you’re looking for a place to get a beer and hang out for live music this is the place in El Monte !!!“

“We spent a few hours here on New Year's Eve. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. The owner greeted us and offered us snacks.
They have a live DJ spinning turntables, bumping music from the past to present. There's an outdoor patio in the back.
The drinks were tasty and affordable. Try the Adios MthrFckr. Bomb!“

“Very nice and good service“

“The course was in excellent condition“

“This our 2nd time here for dinner and it truly did not disappoint! The tender and craftfully seasoned steak & shrimp fajitas, plus the sweet corn esquite were delicious! We paired them with some drinks from the bar to round off our dinner meal! It was worth the stop 180 miles away from our home!“

“We come here fairly often and the experience is always a familiar one.
Things dont change much but that makes it feel.more comfortable overall. You know what to expect and what you like already.
Ans id you've never been here before its an even more exciting experience to try some of the items for the first time.
Solid choice of appetizers, mains, and desserts with options all across the food spectrum.
The bar situation i hear is also on point.
In any case, its a fun place to hang out with family or friends.“

“nice place for a cold beer and banda music“

“I love it here! Good atmosphere!“
