This is an awesome place with great service. My only complaint would be that they turn the music up at 9 PM and it's so loud you can barely hear.

Been coming here on and off for a while. Service is good, food is outstanding, but the prices are kinda high. Hence the only reason why I had to knock off one star. Besides that, it's a really cool bar worth checking out.

I love it here. If you like yelling to the person sitting right next to you, then go on in. Staff is awesome, food is excellent, how many drinks have I had? Anyway, enjoy.

It's rare for me to yelp a place but this place has horrible service. Including the bartenders. Line is way to long and need more bartenders. Not the first time but this is the third time. Whoever is the owner or manager, you guys need to step it up.

I saw some comments about “not great food” and absolutely disagree with them! Among great cocktails and lots of draft beer variations they have very delicious food - we got artichoke deep and blue cheese burger - all was super delicious! They have a patio too for big crowds. Will come back for sure!

If it's your first time going here, It's a bit strange because you have to go to the bar to order. No one's there at the door to tell you where to go and what to do. The food was really good, pricy for bar type food, but good! The service needs a bit of improvement.

Been coming for years but ever since the pandemic they've taken a nose-dive in service. On average we wait 30 mins in line to get a cocktail. The cocktails aren't as good as they used to be. The prices have sky-rocketed and like I said, the wait is absolutely absurd. Go anywhere but here. Honestly save your money.

This place is severely under rated music wise!! Friday nights are my favorite here! I love coming here with my girls for DJ Sway Gold and dancing on the back patio. He knows how to keep us smiling and have a good time! such fun vibes and great music! Friday are the best!

I like the vibe and the drinks are good and they have a great back patio, but the food and overall ordering situation is terrible. While menu is lacking in healthy options, you're forced to order food and drinks at the bar, which is a royal pain for a place this big. You have to wait in a long line to order. They really need a waitstaff. If they had that I'd give the healthy options a pass and give this place five stars, but when people want to meet for dinner there I now refuse and ask to eat anywhere else and maybe stop in after for a drink.

I like this spot. I do. I feel like the lines make me like it less which is the problem when you find a good spot! Very cool vibe. Very busy on a Friday night...surprise surprise! I think this is my third time here. Once for a birthday, once for a date, and tonight for a friend visiting. The night of the date it was very chill and mostly empty, tonight and the birthday party night...packed to the gills. The 4/5 is only based on the crowd and business. They would benefit from a bigger location but there's something so quaint and sweet about this little toluca lake hideaway!

First time trying to Forman's was for a company end of year celebration happy hour. The food was amazing from the Brussels sprouts, to the juicy wings. Drinks were great as well and the vibe outdoors super cute! Never knew there was an outside. Just wished the bar outside was open as you had to walk all the way back to the bar to order food or drinks. 2nd time here and the Brussels sprouts are still a hit!
