Drinks and food were great.
Bartender was amazing!!!
We hosted a private event for my husband’s birthday. The team was super responsive and flexible during the planning process. They made a menu that met our budget and the night was a complete success. The private room is great - large space with plenty of seating. The food and service were spot on and everyone had a great night.
I cannot say enough great things about Bad Habit and its staff! I threw my 30th birthday Halloween party here and from beginning to end it was the easiest, smoothest, best experience! The staff accommodated all of my needs the whole way and kept everything as stressless as possible leading up to the party. Not only is the actual bar stunning and a great vibe of its own but they also have beautiful party room as well as amazing party food options. Best part is everything was affordable and they always kept my budget in mind. On the day of the party I thought I was on my own with set up, but when I got there it was all hands on deck with the staff which was an amazing feeling. My party coordinator offered to finish up decorating so I can get ready and kindly rushed me out the door. She coordinated with some vendors I had and made sure things ran so smooth while I was getting dressed back home. When I came back my I was amazed at how she made sure my whole vision came together and everything was amazing! I was introduced to another coordinator who would help me the rest of the night with anything needed and offered me complimentary drink! Thanks to bad habit and the team, all that was left to do was have fun! I hired a DJ but before she arrived the music was amazing and kicked the party off with a great vibe! The bartenders and kitchen were equally as great as everyone else had been at this point, my guest were taken care of and never waiting long for drinks or food. At the end of the night at of the staff was still in great moods and made the exiting process a smooth transition! I am not someone who leaves reviews, but I had such an amazing experience with this place I had to! I am forever grateful to bad habit and its staff for making my 30th birthday unbelievably memorable!
This company does the parking for concord music venue (which a absolutely love) but decided to charge me 80 dollars (2 times the price) for parking last night (nov 1st) without giving me a receipt. Now my bank is telling me I cannot dispute without a receipt. This is modern day robbery. Do not go to this business without checking all prices and keeping all receipts or you may be scammed as well. It's a shame I tipped the workers cash too. I guess they don't give a crap for decent human beings.
Waited for 15 minutes after we got there, food and drinks looked like they would have been good, however, after watching 3 tables that came in after us get service while the decision was made to leave.

Bad habit was wonderful! A friend and I went in on a Saturday evening. It wasn't as crowded as we had expected.
We got a few cocktails and some apps. The pita chips with the spinach dip was delicious and I could it eat those all day! My cocktails were okay. Weren't as strong as I would have liked but still pretty good.
The place has a modern charm. It also seemed to have a party room adjacent to the main room. I'm looking forward to coming back.

ordered food in person to go and they forgot half my order
Table was dusty to the point where my hand turned black cleaning it. We had three different waiters - each one asked if we wanted a drink after already ordering and they eventually came back to tell us they were out of it. It had a cool vibe but it’s incredibly dark and I’m confused how it’s still in business.

We were catching a bite before the show next door, and had the American tacos, and the Brussels sprouts. THEY WERE THE BEST AMERICAN TACOS WITH STEAK IVE EVER HAD. Said it 3x to the stafd. The tomatillo sauce was amazing - the service was on point, friendly and really cared about my food allergy. Refills were fast and we were in and out rather speedy! You should really go here - prices are good too!
Dietary restrictions: They are brilliant at making sure they prep your food correctly when dealing with allergies. Very attentive! I can’t say how rare that is - and very much appreciated!

Had a reservation for 7 people last night at 6:30 PM. Arrived to a closed restaurant. Website and front door said they should be open, and I received both email and text confirmations of my reservation. No signage, no notice, and no follow up today. Pretty disappointing.

Rating the service based on the service I received, not the service I didn’t. ?
When I came in, it was about 50 min after opening, and service was just picking up due to the concert scheduled for next door. There was one guy was behind the bar who was actively helping the slowly growing crowd, and he took my drink order and made it up for me while I looked over the menu. VERY well balanced drink!!
A few minutes after 5, a lady showed up. It quickly became clear that it was both of their first days, because no one knew the discount code for the concert hall staff from next door. How management let that happen on a show night, I’m not sure. ? Rafael handled it like a pro, though.
A few minutes after came in and she set her stuff down, Rafael suggested she take my food order while he helped the rest of the people he had at the bar and tables behind me. She turned back to the bar wall and didn’t respond or look in my direction at all. She instead read the menu for a bit, then carried her bank around for a while, then walked to the POS and hopped on her phone for a call. The food & bev manager in me was dying, but I’m not a jerk, so I just waited. And waited.
It eventually worked out in my favor because Rafael realized she wasn’t going to help me and continued taking care of me.
She finally took on a single bar guest about half an hour after she set her stuff down.
Drinks were stellar, and the Bang Bang Shrimp was good! Panko is an interesting choice instead of tempura, but it wasn’t bad!!
5/5 for Rafael & Restaurant Atmosphere
4/5 for Food
3/5 for the MIA management
4/5 Overall
I’ll 100% be back next time I have a show next door, but I probably wouldn’t stay if it was just her behind the bar. No hate, just very underwhelmed.
Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs to enter or get around, and I believe there were low tops near the front, and outside when the weather is good. The tables in the back half are high tops though, so keep it in mind that accessible seating IS a bit limited.

Ordered the Tacos Americano - so good! The atmosphere is very laid back. Great place to have dinner before the show at Lincoln Lodge.

The "bad habit" i.e. crunchy shrimp tacos are tiny yes, however as a superfan of seafood tacos, these shrimp tacos currently sit at #1 for me. Was not expecting that level of delicious when i walked in. The chef that put those flavors together, has an incredible palette !
