The first Saffron gin drink was excellent—. The second was noticeably different; I was asked if I still wanted saffron, said yes, but only a tiny amount was added. The inconsistency was disappointing. I guess they were trying to save supplies? Why ask if it’s part of the drink

My sister, mother and I went here for drinks while she was staying at the hotel. The bar itself is lovely in terms of appearance and the seating is bar or lounge, but I felt the chairs where we sat were spaced a bit far apart and, due to their size, we couldn't correct that easily. It made it somewhat hard to talk without speaking loud enough to feel self conscious in the mostly quiet space.
I was also disappointed in their list of Irish whiskeys, though they did have an extensive list of American and Japanese whiskeys, bourbons, and scotchs. I ended up having wine because of the lack of interesting Irish whiskey.
I am uncertain if the quiet was a result of the time when we were there or if it is consistently that way.

Bar Pendry was such a great experience. The service was incredibly attentive and detailed. We never had to wait long for anything, and our server always seemed one step ahead. The space is perfect for people-watching, and we saw plenty of fun interactions, from smooth conversations to a few entertaining misses.
The Caesar salad, fries, and drinks were all excellent, simple but really well done. We stayed at the hotel, which made it super convenient to enjoy the bar and head right upstairs afterward. Valet parking was easy and efficient, making the whole experience smooth from start to finish. Would definitely come back.

The Bar Pendry has the exact atmosphere that one wants in this type of location. Easy to approach the bar and even easier to find a comfortable seat. Whether that seat is by the bar to watch the game or comfy chairs to get into a close conversation. What truly made my experience special, was the attention and attention to detail shown by Stone and Diego. These two knew the right suggestions for me and my party to keep the good energy and conversations going. Many thanks to these two.

⭐⭐⭐☆☆ I've been almost every weekend and really enjoy the drinks and fun vibe at Bar Pendy. It's a great spot to hang out and have a good time. However, the experience with the staff leaves a lot to be desired. The bartenders can be rude, slow, and often don’t take your orders promptly, which can be frustrating. The security staff also tends to be unfriendly and sometimes rude, and they hold you in line even when the bar isn't crowded. Overall, I like the place, but the service and security need some improvement for a better experience.

Absolute trash place. Dirty couches, the server passed us 10 times and made eye contact and would not come over. I had to get up and beg them for service. DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR MONEY. SCAM!

Apparently a really bad case of oral herpes is spreading there! A few people got infected last weekend; possibly from the cups and glasses at the bar….either not being washed properly or?? Who knows! Be safe

I’ll give it 5 stars because we had fun, but staff needs to improve on how to turn the hotel bar into a proper nightclub it just seems like the employee communication was off for how much we paid for multiple bottle of 1942
I’m a local and brought my mom here on a Friday night for a drink. We sat at a dirty table, no one was interested in cleaning it or greeting us or asking what we wanted to drink in the ten minutes we tried to order something. Left and walked the 7 minutes to R+D Kitchen and had an awesome experience. I have no idea why this place is appealing. Trashy people, awful service.

Great pick up place for one hour service. They have lots of variety to chose from.... Asian, Eastern Block, Costa Mesa... Antibiotics sold separately.

I have never left a review in my life, but today I experienced one of the nastiest things at your establishment. First, when I arrived at the door, I politely mentioned that I had a reservation and asked if I could wait for my friend inside. This racist guy told me no. His tone of voice and body language were very off. I was suddenly confused and asked why. He hesitated, then came up with the most ridiculous excuse, saying that the tables were dirty. I looked behind me, and most of them looked clean. I didn’t want to insist since he told me twice that I couldn’t sit there. Then he asked me to wait at the entrance, which I did. Once I’m finally inside, and this server is pressuring me to order. For the second time, she mentioned that the manager asked that I order now. Again, the tone of voice and the level of disrespect. I remained calm and decided not to make a big deal out of it. Time is money I don’t have time for this. But after reflecting, I think it’s important for me to share this unfortunate situation here. I just want to remind you that you need to be extremely careful about how you treat people, because you never know who might save your life tomorrow or in time of emergency that requires medical attention. . I may have this complexion, but I can save your life. It’s really sad to see people thinking they can disrespect and discriminate against others. You’re just a human being with nothing. Be careful God does not appreciate such horrible behavior.
