What brought us there in the first place was we were looking for a late night meal but unfortunately the kitchen was closed by the time we arrived. That's something to take note of if you're looking for a bar with food, after 9pm. A major plus though is their parking lot. It's right outside the building and you have multiple points of entry from the front and back of the bar. For the drinks they were fairly priced. I hope if I come here again it'll be during a time I can try their food. For now, I'll give the place 3/5. This is a good spot, and has their regulars. I just wish we got to experience more of the place, and at a time when it was more lively.

After a holiday lunch, we stopped here for a drink. It has been a long time since I stopped at a…read moredive bar. I really enjoyed myself. There seemed to be few changes in this type of bar, but many things are just how I remember them The most significant change to me was the jukebox that connects to the internet so you can play any music you want. You can put extra money in and your selection will move to the top of the playlist. What hasn't changed are friendly people. The evening we were there some guy brought his new puppy. The bartender danced, to a song I had selected, with the woman sitting next to me. In the backroom, he put out pies he had bought for the holiday. People were friendly and talked to me. It was a nice way to end the day.

Went to Aloha Club for the first time to check out a Spanish band that was playing that my…read moregirlfriend wanted to see this past weekend, and we had a blast. The place on a Saturday was absolutely jam packed with locals, dancing, good music, and overall a really fun time that I was pleasantly surprised about. The bar itself on the inside is really long, so finding a spot was easy to order a drink. We ordered a couple of topo Chico seltzers and a modelo, and the bill came out to $19 for all 3. Most of their signature cocktails ranged from $10-12 , so affordable by today's standards. When we first arrived, we were able to snag a spot in their parking lot, which is dead ends at the end of the road, with no way of turning around. Since it was a busy night, all the spots were full, and needed to reverse all the way out. A little nerve racking but we made it through. Overall, pretty cool to see a free live show and band. Great people and vibes, really glad we checked it out.

That said, once you're inside, it's a great little bar with a lot of character and a really welcoming vibe. We got there shortly after they opened on a Saturday afternoon, and it didn't take long for the place to fill up. We grabbed seats at the bar, and Eric was our bartender... he was fantastic. Super friendly, made everyone feel welcome, and somehow managed to keep the energy up and still give great service even as things got busy. You could tell he loves his job. We had a few beers and ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, chicken tenders, and the parmesan fries. Everything came out hot and tasted great, especially the fries. Definitely planning to come back in the evening next time to experience the full vibe. This feels like one of those spots that really comes alive at night.

Few of us got our groove on. Used the restroom once cause they had ran out of paper towels. Tried a few of their appetizers and they were good enough. Bartenders are attentive.

I get the feeling maybe people come for the food, and if they do it's likely out of late night convenience.

I came here last night for a personal event. I told the owner that I was not going to do a review…read moretonight, but he actually stated for me to do one... so here it goes. For the event, we had reserved labels on our tables. The waiter took drink orders, then food orders. I came late and requested to be the last one to place a food and drink order because I did not want to hold the others up. The waiter forgot about me. He never returned. Fortunately, a waitress was bringing something over to a table buddy of mine and I was able to place my order with her. However, I ordered 2 drinks. One was supposed to come immediately after ordering and the other with my food. The waitress said she was going to try to plan the one with my food so it came out together. She forgot about my 1st drink until reminded almost 20 mins later. I ordered my food which was $17.50 sliders with a substitute of fries $2.. and add bacon $2. When my food came, it came with some sort of greens (Arugula salad..I think) and a side of fries. I don't understand why I got salad because I substituted it for fries. My fries came out first, which made no sense because I ordered my food together. However, upon tasting the fries.. they were cold in some parts..smh. I sent them back for hot fries. The sliders seemed overcooked because they were dry. I'm used to sliders being juicy and soft. My sliders were hard...smh. I did not bother to send them back because I was with many people and I really did not feel like going through the motions tonight..as I normally would have of my food order is just wrong. When the bill came, I noticed that they charged me $9 for a large fries. If it was only +2 to substitute... why did I get charge that? I went on and paid it without complaints. There were at least 4 ppl who ordered food before me and they still did not get their food and it was like an hour passing. I had 2 glasses of wine (Malbec & Blanc). Both were good. I loved the fact that they had karaoke. However, I disliked the fact that people who had gone once still went a 2nd time although there were plenty of people who still had not gone a 1st time. I think this place is chill. They need to do better with accomodating larger parties in both a timely manner and effectively ensuring food is correct, hot and cooked to perfection. I think they probably do best with a table of 4 or 5 ppl. Lastly, it was super hot in here. Yes there are ceiling fans. However, it seems that they have no central air whatsoever. That's ridiculous. Oh BTW.. no waiter ever came back to our table to ask if we wanted to order anything more. They also did not come over to ask if the food was good either. Our finshed plates say in front of us from the time we got it until almost 11pm. I would say that my table received food by 8:30ish.

I ordered a classic martini with a twist, it wasn't my favorite drink ever but it was made well, just not my usual. After that I ordered a classic margarita which was super good and came with a black salt rim and dehydrated lime. The margarita was super tasty and both drinks were made right away! For food, I ordered the chips and salsa and guac. The guac was very good, it tasted fresh and was a good size portion. The salsa was really good, it was chipotle tasting but had a lime tanginess to it that was unique and refreshing. They were generous with the portion of chips and the chips were thick and crispy and seasoned well with just a little bit of salt. I also ordered the impossible taquitos which came with guac, sour cream, and salsa on top. The presentation was beautiful and the food came out fast but the taste was a bit weird, it wasn't bad but it just tasted like burger meat in a taquito. I really appreciate that they offered a meat alternative but wish it tasted better, like maybe use potatoes instead of fake meat, or use fake chorizo over a burger seasoning. It would also be nice if there was a vegan version not just a vegetarian version. Despite my critiques of the food, I have no critiques for the service and atmosphere! My server was phenomenal and attentive and checked in often! I had a great experience and look forward to coming back but would definitely be more eager to come back if they updated with more vegan options!

I honestly wasn't expecting much, but the burger really surprised me. It was juicy, delicious, and very flavorful. The only thing that caught me off guard was that the burger wasn't fully assembled, the lettuce was on the side. At first it seemed a little unusual, but it was actually thoughtful since it keeps the lettuce from getting soggy. Overall, the food felt like it was made with care. Very good and flavorful.
