Bars nice, cool ambiance, drinks are expensive which is normal but not when the staff sucks. Better bars like Vol. 39 and Monarch and Lion. We only had a drink and it was alright.

Great chill ambiance. Great drinks and drink options. Some non-alcoholic options. Very limited bar food

I called a day ahead of my reservation to see if the staff at Arbella accommodates any special occasions being celebrated at their establishment. Wanting to celebrate my three year anniversary here, the staff informed me they will give me and my girlfriend a complimentary glass of Champagne once we sat for our reservation. Not only did we never receive the Champagne, but the waiter took our orders twice because he had forgot them, and my girlfriend's cocktail was disgusting. Very disappointing experience.

Service was sassy in an unfriendly kind of way. Truffle fries were lazy and super underwhelming. Drinks were strong and ok

Arbella in one word: Spectacular. We were able to get in right as they opened as a walk in. The service was great as well with kind and personable servers. We got the zero proof Glad Matt is Gone -Lada, which was a lovely experience and very cool presentation. For alcoholic drinks, we got the Smokey'S Sidepiece (SO fun and we loved the spicy kick) as well as the All The Smoke (again GREAT and I don't even like mezcal!) For food, we got the Potato Croquettes and the Brisket Bao Buns. Both were lovely, the croquettes were well flavored and so crispy! The Brisket was very well cooked and seasoned, and the bao toppings were well selected. Overall an amazing place to stop and I would recommend this to everyone of age!

Food was fire. Everything we ordered but especially the tacos. Servers were top notch. And best of all the atmosphere was just perfect to hang and catch up. The music selection was as good as you could request.
The overall experience was good. The staff were friendly, and the place had a good vibe.They have great selection and variety of cocktail.They even had some fancy Balentines Day special cocktails.I didn't try any food there except the mixed nuts, which was ok.

Intimate place. Very popular so quite packed. Friendly staff. Like even in the noise and commotion they're super nice. I think we counted 3 first dates happening.
Amazing drinks
