Me & my friends used to frequent this bar until they renovated it and ruined the entire experience. The bar is entirely too bright, the lines and wait times are artificial and unexplainably long, and the bouncers turn people away at their discretion for arbitrary reasons. This bar used to be a guaranteed good time, but now they are struggling to reach 50% capacity, on weekends, and for good reason. Also sections don't belong in bars.

It was honestly disrespectful because they denied me entry simply because I was wearing shorts. There was no sign indicating anything about wearing shorts but since I’m a guy, it was clearly an issue for some reason.

I visited this spot back in September and had such a good time. Now it’s April and I’ll never come here again. Upon arrival we, a group of 5 people of color, were sat outside when there were 11 tables available inside. We asked to sit inside and were told all the tables were reserved. We then watched another party get theirs seats moved around because they were unsatisfied with there table so we proceeded to ask again cause we were the only people sat outside. We were met with animosity upon being re-seated and were being hovered over the entire time we ate. Employees also spoke negatively about us ,in-front of us, in spanish thinking we didn’t understand, but we did. 2 employees watched us as we ate and continued to take every plate off the table as soon as it was pretty empty, reaching across others plates and snatching everything off as they watched us like hawks. When asking for the check we were met with “Oh really!?” Maybe i’m crazy idk but I do know that all 5 of us were extremely uncomfortable during our dinner. Wouldn’t recommend again. And just to add, not a single “reservation” came for any of the inside tables during the hour we were there.

Go somewhere else. This place wants to give you the impression that it’s greater than it really is, the looks are truly deceiving. Food was terrible, and the cocktails were awful. Also, the night service people are rude and just weird. They also OVERCHARGE, be careful with what they charge yall!

The host and first impressions were great! Everything after sitting down went downhill. Food was underwhelming, cocktails were awful. The service was unacceptable. Food was getting returned for over cooked steak.You need to do better yuca bar.

My group and I made a reservation for 8 and was told we NEEDED to make sure our bill was a minimum of $600. Even though we thought that was ridiculous and pressuring we agreed to make reservations because we wanted to try this place out. Unfortunately 3 of the individuals in the group bailed last minute, leaving us to be a group of 5. I POLITELY spoke to the manager (the night of 03/23/24 @8pm), and informed him of our sudden change. I let him know we apologize for the short notice and we don’t mind leaving because we understood it’s a packed place and we don’t want to cause any other issue. Manager was rude AF. He was so pissed and kept saying “I’m losing money”. WHILE also pointing out there were plenty of people ready to fill those seats of people we were missing in our group. Sir learn to adapt and be kind to everyone. Not once did I raise my voice and I also made sure to say we don’t mind waiting and/or leaving that way we don’t cause confusion. This man kept repeating the loss of the restaurants wealth and giving us just terrible service. Also, it was a birthday for 2 people and I asked one of the staff if he can tell our waitress it’s a birthday. The cake/ dessert NEVER came but the bill did ASAP. Terrible service on behalf of everyone. Food was alright nothing memorable. Do better.

It was all good until I put on ly sunglasses. Then it was a problem. If I paid $500 for the table, it wasn’t. It’s all about money, not the customer. Do not recommend.

This establishment presents itself as a casual dive bar, but unfortunately, it falls short in several aspects.You may find the music selection mediocre.You may find the the drink quality lacking.You may encounter unnecessary prolonged wait times.Additionally, the behavior of the bouncers and staff can be off-putting, as they were incredibly discriminative.The enforcement of a stringent dress code on such an informal environment only leads me tobelieve it is designed to keep very specific people out.Mission Accomplished if that’s the goal!0/5

I enjoyed the place a lot! The only thing I think could be better is playing more diverse music. DJ mostly played reggaeton (Bad Bunny) during the night, and when asked to play salsa, he kept postponing it for long time (hours). He played just a couple merengue songs, but everything was basically just reggaeton. I had been to this place before, and the music they played was definitely more diverse than this time.

We went dancing, very good music and good atmosphere. The line was a little delayed but fine. All the attention was good, good attitude and disposition of the security personnel. There is to store the bags.
