    “When I used to frequent this place, the aspect that I truly appreciated was the speedy service they offered, especially when compared to other establishments. It was often quite challenging to have drinks promptly served elsewhere. Moreover, one of the highlights of visiting this bar was the engaging nature of the customers. They enjoyed interacting with me, striking up conversations, and creating a lively atmosphere”

The cocktails were exceptionally well crafted, and they definitely don’t skimp on the pours — every drink was generous and perfectly balanced. The chili margarita was a standout: the ideal mix of bold flavor with just the right amount of kick. Absolutely looking forward to coming back!”

    “Only one pool table, so for me that was a strike right there. My first time there I noticed that the bartender took care of all the ppl she recognized before I got to place my drink order. I didn't see any food being offered , but there was a great band from LA playing Rock-a-billy\\ pulp fiction type music that were really good. Last call was at least 1 hour early and they closed early even thoughit was Saturday night and the place was packed. 12:30 instead of 2am. So that was not good , especially if your the owner. Otherwise for a small neighborhood bar it was ok.”

If you like super hot salsa request their habanero (yellow) salsa - no extra charge but take it easy! Chicken quesadillas have pulled super moist chicken. Service quick and friendly. Staying at the hotel will garner you a little discount. Good weekday happy hours.”

We sat inside but there is also outside seating. \n\nHusband had Ahi sandwich and it was cooked rare, and he said it was good. It was pretty big with fries! I had shrimp and crab quesadillas, they were served with an avocado cream sauce over it and a large scoop of shredded cabbage. Delicious! (2 could split it) \n\nFull bar available too! Place your order and you get a beeper, head over to the bar and order your drinks, pay separate from food. \nGet your parking ticket stamped for free parking.”

Then desert came. OMG.. blackberies, basil, yogurt and rubarb ice on top sprinkled with sea salt. I was in shock with the first bite. The desert was a true moment of delight. I have no words. Thank you for the most wonderful meal!!! The best part is the food is locally sourced, not too heavy and simply wonderful.”
