“I love this place, amazing service, great food.
Though I have to point out that their tipping system is highly sketch - it's one thing that the default tip amounts start at 20%, to each their own but if you're there during happy hour, the terminal will still calculate your tipping amounts based on the full price total instead of the happy hour one. Now I'm not stingy when it comes to tipping, but I also really dislike misdirection.“

117° West Spirits Cocktail Bar • $$
2129 Industrial Court, Vista

“Fantastic spirits, a welcoming vibe, and fun events at the speakeasy. A local gem that draws people from all over SoCal. The whiskeys are especially outstanding. My go-to spot for a quiet cocktail or a raucous bingo night-- they offer it all. Get a membership; it pays for itself many times over.“

“We need more places like Misadventure. It’s so interesting to find out how their vodka is made. The drinks are creative and each of them have a unique flavor to it. Great atmosphere and great staff as well. My type of place to be when I want to relax with friends or by myself“

“There's something very nostalgic about this place. Maybe it's the retro twinkly lights or the old school TVs that use a forgotten font for the karaoke lyrics... Maybe it's the U-shaped, dive bar setup with very cheap prices... Maybe it's the tiny bathrooms with friendly gals squeezing past you to apply lipgloss... The vibes were incredible!

Krista is one badass lady who has been tending bar here for many years. The young man who was her bar back was so kind and efficient. Bouncer was chill and he applied a stamp to my wrist upon entry.

Highly recommend! I paid $15 for a beer and semi-premium shot!“

“I visited for a business lunch and I was really impressed. This might be my new favorite Thai restaurant. The restaurant was clean and spacious with tasteful decor. The hostess/waitress was genuine and polite. I actually felt like she was happy to serve us. My associate ordered the Panang curry with chicken while I went for the Pad Thai with chicken- spicy level 10/10. It actually had a kick! Rarely am I challenged by heat, but the dish was flavorful, plated attractively and a fully portioned. Next time I’m in the mood for Thai food, I’ll certainly be coming back!“
