Fantastic little bar on Lyndale. Great food, if not a tad expensive. But it’s a bar with atmosphere, it’s worth your cash (figuratively, they don’t accept cash). Service is fun and friendly, would definitely bring friends next time we go.

TLDR; food wise it was bad. Everything was overly greasy, items were inconsistently cooked, ultimately I would have enjoyed a Culver's meal, which would have also been half of what fool me once was charging. The best thing was the store brand kettle chip bag. I had water, which was provided via an igloo cooler that had been through one too many soccer/baseball games, and they kept moving it from one end of the bar to another.I had the crunch wrap, and after eating it I would rate the name as click bait. Nothing crunchy about it and you better have several napkins. I tried the burger because the crunch wrap was so disappointing, and the burgers were equally disappointing. Thin patties, top and bottom bun were somehow both soggy with grease, and not pleasant to eat, quite flavorless.

The food here is pretty alright and the staff are friendly, but that's about it. The drinks are severely watered down and very overpriced, the bathrooms are weirdly cold and dirty, and the "regular" we had to sit near was an unbearable jerk who couldn't stop himself from saying inappropriate and creepy stuff all night, yet he was somehow beloved by the staff? Gave very weird vibes and frankly made me feel embarrassed for everyone involved.The aesthetic is cute, though, I'll give it that. I'll remember my night here, but I'd never come back lol

The staff here is incredibly welcoming and is the perfect place to get some food or just sit and relax. Karaoke nights are super fun too ☺️Vegetarian options: There are a couple appetizers and entrees that are vegan/veg friendly. The veg crunch wrap is so goodKid-friendliness: This location is 21+ so leave the kids at home ?
Great experience! Visited on a Wednesday evening. Bartender greeted me when I walked in. She was friendly and attentive.Order the poutine and cocktails. It was all delicious!

Went to grab a quick drink and apps after work. Very "hip" with your standard kitschy decor and dark, tinted lighting. Definitely not a neighborhood bar but it's about what you'd expect from a trendy Instagram spot. The food was decent but super greasy and, in my opinion, pretty over priced. Service was good, if a little aloof. The shishitos were basically soaked in oil and not too "blistered" despite the name. Overriding flavors were grease and salt. The dip was also just ranch from a tube. The fried mushrooms were also super greasy with a bit way more batter than mushroom. Same underwhelming sauce. It's always nice to have a vegetarian option, at least. Main reason to go is their (also pricey) drink menu. They've got some neat spirits and cocktails of the moment. Overall this fits into the same niche as Little Tijuana but doesn't execute as well. I'd recommend heading there over Fool me Once.
north loop prices for uptown vibes. Also smells musty. No cash allowed.edit: they mixed my drink strong so that helped a

They did indeed fool me once. The establishment was very pricey and smells like butt cheese

It looks amazing had good music, vib and staff . The drinks are very sweet and not that great food not great . However probably a good option for a happy hr buger. Very greasy. Salsa was actually great . One cactus drink tasted like bread and butter pickle juice but sweeter .

service was impeccable and accommodating as per usual but I came in on a "DJ" night and was wildly disappointed. I couldn't even tell if there was a dj or not until i noticed the laptop and reserved booth. what a joke, at the least pretend you're working instead of insisting on special treatment over paying customers and at the very least buss your own table. as a true blue service worker I call bullshit
