Sagittarius season

Solid 3 stars Cool dive bar Bar tender was great friendly and efficient Drinks were ON POINT There is a juke box so my friends and I played all the ratchet songs LOL This bar kinda gives me "CHEERS" vibes Everyone knows everyone They have their own clientele And they definitely KNEW we were not/are not regulars Lol This place is dog friendly We saw a customer in there with his dog (on a leash) Kinda of an older crowd Vibes were cool I won't plan to ever come here but I know I will end up here again if that makes sense LOL TILL NEXT TIME

What a great discovery! This is a friendly neighborhood bar that attracts all slices of life. Great drinks, fun customers and a friendly bartender. A fantastic way to close the weekend.

Irish coffee (so perfect on a cold night)

This bar is so cute! Came here last Saturday night around 7pm to kill some time because my friends and I were on the wait list for Rockin' Crawfish (that restaurant is literally so poppin, I didn't know so many people loved celebrating birthdays there and the wait list is sometimes 1.5 hours). Literally yelped this place and it was within walking distance. It was freaking freezing outside that night and so the vibes of this place were perfect! A bunch of us got hot drinks (hot totties, irish coffees) and they all perfectly hit the spot. Wasn't super crowded around this time, decent number of people sitting around watching a game. Even though the bar is small, the mirrors make it look a lot spacier. There's this little nook that reminds me of a library, with comfy chairs next to a fireplace vibe with some books. Really good vibes all around and really fast service, 10/10 would come again

My Husband Stephen & I at Baggy's

EVERYONE was so kind & welcoming. We bought some art. Yes!! You can buy art displayed on the walls. It was an absolutely magic night!!! Big shout out to Cherry, Peter & Smitty for allowing us to buy some of his art rather late which is now safely home in Brisbane Australia. This is a great place for a beverage or 2. It's well worth a visit!!!

Friends feel loved at Baggy's by the Lake.

If you don't make a friend or meet a friend at Baggy's by the Lake, you my friend shouldn't be allowed a drank. And please. Owner(s). Are you reading too? Can we put that on a t-shirt and sell them? Every teacher needs a side-hustle. Wouldn't it make a cute story? Help a teacher. Neighborhood bar. Feel good vibes when friends are friends at Baggy's by the Lake!

The Alley is a popular dive bar and nightclub in Carlsbad known for its lively, atmosphere,…read moreaffordable drinks and diverse crowd. It features DJs, a packed dance floor, and events like karaoke and live bands, attracting locals and visitors looking for a fun, no-frills night out with a wide range of music. Had no idea what to expect but had a blast. You just dance the night away with people you don't know. What a vibe.

I visited The Alley for their famous piano bar and sing-along. The atmosphere was definitely lively…read moreand the place was packed, but the experience was a bit of a mixed bag. It was pretty frustrating at the start. Starting with the parking situation, couldn't find parking anywhere but what do you expect from San Francisco... When we got inside it was super busy and we couldn't find a place to sit, and no one really stepped in to help us. After wandering around for about 15 minutes, we finally snagged a spot at a long shared table. Luckily, a bench table right next to the piano opened up shortly after and we jumped on it. I ended up facing the opposite direction, so I didn't have much of a view, but at least my sister and girlfriend got a front-row seat to the show! The drinks were just mediocre, and it took about 5-10 minutes for them to arrive. For the price and the wait, I was hoping for something a bit better. Why it's a 3-star review: Despite the rough start, there were three things that really saved the night: The theme is awesome. There is so much detail on the walls; you can tell a lot of work went into the decorations. Our waiter was great. Even though the place was slammed, he checked on us constantly to see how we were doing and if we needed another round. The piano player was the highlight. He really knew how to hype up the crowd and his skills were top-notch. Overall, a cool spot for the history and the music, but the seating and drink wait can be a challenge. Glad the girls got to see the show, as they are more interested in piano bars than I am.

Making drinks for a crowd takes time and the staff always does their best. The people who come here are super friendly which adds to the welcoming, cozy vibe of the place.

I'll give it to them, Tallboy is a solid concept with their "tinis & weenies". However, a clever…read moreconcept can carry a place so far. Customer service is a close second to concept. Tallboy's martini menu is well-executed. While I didn't personally try one of the slushies, a friend ordered the espresso martini version and gave it a solid thumbs-up. Unfortunately, the experience falls apart when it comes to food and service. Waiting 30+ minutes for two hot dogs (after paying) is hard to justify. When I checked in with a server, she was curt and dismissive. She was quick to explain there was only one person in the kitchen, with no effort to offer a solution, timeline, or even basic courtesy. I understand staffing issues happen. However, customer service is a close second to concept. How an issue is communicated and addressed is what separates good service from bad. What's more frustrating is that these aren't customer problems to absorb. If the kitchen is understaffed, if tables aren't being cleared in a timely manner at a seat-yourself spot, those are management problems. Guests should not have to choose to leave without the food we paid for. There's a lot of competition out there, and concepts alone aren't enough to bring people back. I genuinely wanted that hot dog. That's probably the most disappointing part of the whole experience. Great drinks, solid ambiance, but the service needs serious attention.

As we know, Oakland can get pretty expensive so we were walking on by and all of a sudden we spotted heart and dagger saloon. This is definitely your run of mill local neighborhood bar. There is so much to look at when you enter. FYI I look over 21 and i still got carded.. so that was nice. The place was pretty packed at the bar, don't expect any Fūfu drinks here! Make sure to grab your drinks and on a great day hit up the patio and definitely people watch. The patio is great. It has so many different tables that you can sit, people were enjoying themselves celebrating birthdays. And just really enjoying an Oakland summer day. This place is definitely reasonably priced cocktails were not that much. The beers on tap were inexpensive. Definitely will be back if we're around the area because the drinks were strong and the price was good.

I am not much of drinking the Henny. All their cocktails have exactly that. The only one that looked appealing to me was the expresso martini. The service could be a little more attentive. My friend and I were the only two people in the lounge at the time. We sat and waited for somebody to come by to ask what would I like to drink. It did not happen; thus, my friend had to go the bar and purchase the expresso martini. The expresso martini was smooth and mellow. The only time I had the Henny was years ago at a Chinese wedding banquet. I added some to the shark fin soup, which enhanced the flavor of the soup. Yes, I enjoyed the expresso martini. The atmosphere of the lounge is one of sophistication and upscale. Comfortable seating all around. Nice place to hang out, do some chillaxin' with friends. Rating: 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars.
