About Phonobar

Phonobar is a great lounge bar with a chill vibe, perfect for staying or going after 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays for DJ spins. The vegan food menu is pretty good, with dishes like clam chowder, wedge salad, and potatoes gratin with crispy mushrooms receiving high praise. The ambiance is fantastic, especially for a first "club" experience for kids, who can enjoy the music until 8pm. The food is fun and sharable, with many items coming in portions of three. Customers have enjoyed the chicken paella skewers, flautas, and tostadas. However, some dishes like the Korean BBQ cauliflower wings could have better texture and flavor. The nachos were tasty but would benefit from more evenly spread toppings. While the cocktails may be disappointing for some due to being overly sweet and pricey, sticking to beer and wine might be a safer choice. The bar also offers an epic Vegan Bar program, with great vegan food and a fantastic selection of vegan options, many of which are gluten free. The new bartender owners are very cool, and the overall vibe is friendly and relaxed. The service is attentive and friendly, particularly in the front area, though it can be harder to track down a server in the busier back section. The space is beautiful and aesthetic, and the food by Om Sabor is described as absolutely out of this world, with standout dishes like the saffron paella with vegan chicken. Overall, Phonobar provides a 5-star experience with a cool atmosphere, good music, and a variety of tasty vegan dishes.
