I've been here a few times each time the bar just can't seem to make a good drink. It is usually very busy, some nights they have a DJ playing at the nights they have live bands. It's kind of a crowded spot a decent variety of ages and backgrounds, but the drinks really need to improve. read more

We ordered 2 types of 6ct wings, a craft beer and a mixed drink,with 2 shots bill was $90 with tip left. Very pricey maybe if they have happy hour it will be worth it. Place was beautiful inside chill vibe. Service was great, considering there was only one other party there at the bar. Good for sports or fights they have big screen tvs Now, as far as the wings go they were delicious but idk paying $18 for 6 wings is worth it. Maybe give them a try and let me know. For me it wasn't. read more

I so wanted to like this place! Great entertainment, LA Blue was playing but food and food service was so disappointing.. The manager, Nicole was amazing! Friendly, hospitality and accommodating. Waitress came by every 45 mins or so, didn't know the menu, would go ask kitchen and took forever to come back. My friend saw waitress in the bathroom and leave without washing her hands. When the bill came, it was all wrong.. so disappointed because this is a really nice place.. read more

Hubby and I came to the Bodega Bar & Grill to grab a drink and to just whine down from a day full of errands. When we arrived, we were able to sit at the bar top right away. They had the game playing so my hubby was happy about that. The bartender was very nice and attentive. I ordered a martini and hubby got a mojito. The drinks were delicious and they definitely hit the spot. Very much needed! It wasn't too loud at the bar, we were able to have conversations and hear each other fine. read more

Wish I had seen some of the other reviews about poor service prior to visiting. Was able to get a bar table quickly, but then was ignored for 10+ minutes and it wasn't packed at all. They also requested to hold my ID (I guess they're worried about someone running on a $10 tab) when I finally got my beer. Won't make the same mistake twice. read more

old lady bartender with the curly hair was sooooo rude. Serving drinks like she hated her job. My first experience here and probably last. When she served me she got mad because I asked for a different chaser the sprite did not have gas. She poured the pineapple juice in my face and dropped it on the bar even other customers looked at us it was just a bad experience. read more

I usually don't do bad reviews unless I had a very BAD experience usually go to 3 vinos or bodega and every time I go there, the employees, manager know me, cause I'm I regular guy and treat people with respect. Let's go to the point, Well.. last night Sunday march 30 the place was full, I usually go there around 10 or 11 pm I decided to order some drinks for myself and a friend of mine and all of the sudden this guy (bartender) started to yell at me, in a very bad attitude and this is not the first time ( a friend of mine had a bad experience with the same guy ) He should treat people with respect that's all I have to say .. I told the other bartender ( girl) is he crazy? drunk or on drugs because his rudeness speak for himself .. The manager or person in charge should correct this kind of behavior! To the owner of bodega/3 vinos covina i love the place and the rest of the crew, they always have been so nice to all of us! read more

Beer/drinks are good -- Can't rate the food (haven't tried it yet) but....Why the boring all-black decor? Oh, yeah...it's macho.

Poor service, food served cold & overcooked, ambience 3/10 Host had no knowledge of the establishment when asked (I don't know) *giggle was her response. Food orders were being served to the wrong tables, our server kept forgetting many items asked for (water, untensils, napkins, straws, food container. Employee walking in sandals Our server even mentioned his concern about the disorganization going on. Terrible!! read more

The management is extremely unprofessional. I just recently went there and the way they handle business is beyond me. The way they handle customer complaints is unreal. The unknowledgeable management needs to hire more people. Took 30 minutes for one drink. Insane. Never going back. They clearly can't afford to hire more people. read more

I'll start off saying this place has great ambience, wonderful service and friendly staff. Unfortunately we went in the middle of them changing their menu so a lot of items weren't available. The pesto pasta we did have was flavorless. I would try again once they improve the food. read more

Would definitely intentionally go back again! Needed to kill 3 hours before a show at laugh factory Stopped at Ola for an hour... boring. Nothing but attention seeking waitresses who are annoyed you're in the restaurant. Went to the Bodega Bar due to hearing music playing while walking by. Yass here for a good time Saw the Salsa/Bachata dancing above thought that was cute! There was like at least 35 drinks on tap We requested change of music & they did so with ease! Thank You!! A drunk guy was bothering my friend and I (two alone women) Immediately a waitress walking around came to check on us and asked if we needed help. We said we were okay and sure enough the guy left us alone He eventually came back and Josh our bartender came very quickly to ask us again if we needed help. We did at this point. He was able to persuade the guy to leave us with assertive but nice words. The food was also good. Id eat there again. Shout out to the waitress and Josh! We will be retuning soon hopefully! read more

Second time here, first time I swore I'd never go back. Decided to give it another try, went in for lunch and a beer... There were only three other parties aside from us and the service like the first time was extremely slow. Must've taken at least 10 minutes to get two beers, salad came out before appetizer and, my husband's burger. Lettuce on salad was very wilted and beer was flat. At time of leaving the hostess was sitting down eating food and said bye to us as she was chewing. For the price and service, absolutely will never go back. Since I cannot comment again, it was a late lunch for me, but it was definitely open and it was yesterday. I would say a little after 4 PM. So my bad an early dinner but yes, you were definitely open on Saturday and that doesn't change the fact that both times I've been there it's been bad service . read more

This was our first time here and it was amazing! Our bartender ily was really nice. We didn't know what to try and she made us some dragon fly drinks and they were so good! We loved them! The music was fun and the atmosphere was great! We definitely will be coming back soon!! read more

Lively describes Bodega Bar and Grill! There's music blaring, dance floor is busy. Waiters and management were friendly and courteous. We came after a comedy show at the Laugh Factory, perfect place after the comedy show. We were seated at the top tables, like it said it was lively and busy, that's always a good sign. The games were on, which is good for football fans. Food was tasty, we had wings, which were sweet tasting. The empanadas were yummy, very delicate as the meat fell out of my empanada. In addition we had the Brussels sprouts. Be careful with those, they have jalapeño, I bit into it and I got a not so pleasant surprise. My friend got a free dessert because we came on her birthday month. Tasty desert. Overall, great experience, it does have a club vibe. The only thing I would suggest as an area of growth is the restroom. One of the faucets was not working when we were there, also there was only one air dryer for people to share. But definitely willing to give it another shot next time we're in the area. read more

I was super hungry and decided to try this place Bodega. Thebplace is very spacious and clean, friendly waiter. No one was in the restaurant it was about 2pm..I ordered salmon bites, no flavor....for me....not even some chili , no chili no fire. Also ordered the Atlantis salad, it was a Cesar salad with supposed grilled salmon on top ....it was missing some freshness and flavor, also ordered the brussel sprouts they were ok All in all this place was not worth it for me....a lunch meal for myself was $60 .!! With tip added automatically.... Thank you Bodega for your service . read more

This review is solely on the service and environment we experienced on a Sunday. My fiancé and I wanted to watch the football game so we decided to go back and visit since we loved it so much the first time! There was no hostess working upon our arrival. At that point we realized it was self seating. Then they were short staffed. For a Sunday afternoon and a football game on, you would think they would be fully staffed. Our server was nice she came to take our order and then we come to find out they ran out of alot of beer/ alcohol. So we were limited to what we could order. From a business perspective, that is awesome you're inventory is running low since that means business is doing great! However, they should have been better prepared for a Sunday. They have a small side patio which we had a table near there. Not sure if it is a designated smoking area, there were some ladies smoking so the smoke was traveling inside the restaurant. My fiancé then got up and asked the manager on duty if we could switch tables and he said yes of corse. Well, when we went to sit down, there was another gentleman going to sit there and he said the manager told him he could sit there! At that point we decided to just leave and go somewhere else. Not sure if the manager was aware that he told two customers they could take the same table lol. Just a few things they need to work on, but other than that the food is still great! read more

Bodega Bar & Grill - Chef Steve himself! Super cool and awesome! This cheesecake was divine! - Bars Near Me - Covina, California

I want to begin by saying this review has nothing to do with the food, drinks or service and everything to do with the owner. As a small party of 3 we walked in last night to watch the fight. One person arrived first and was seated at a small table in the corner next to a high top that had a tablecloth and reserved signs on it and was directly in front of the largest tv in the place. The other two arrived shortly after. It was about 7:00. Place was fairly empty at this point because the main event wouldn't be for awhile. From about 20 minutes into our time here my friend noticed that the owner kept complaining to staff and gesturing our way. Apparently his high top fancy table in front of the largest tv was not where he wanted to be, or better yet he did not like that we were seated in "his" space. Words were continually exchanged between him and various staff members. Props to the manager Nicole as she was taking care of our table and did not acknowledge his rude and ridiculous behavior. At one point another employee asked if we would like to move into the corner to a "better" high top table. I said no because I'm short and I'm never comfortable at those. She then asked if she could pull our table away from the wall and the owners spot into the middle of the floor. My husband asked why and she stumbled a little and finally said the owner doesn't like tables against the wall near his spot. I just couldn't believe his inappropriate behavior especially when we were there spending a good amount of money at his establishment. I basically refused and she left. The rest of the night he was shooting us looks and pacing around our area. Obviously his focus is not on customer service or satisfaction. He cares only about his own status as the owner and pitched a fit like an insolent toddler. He took my $300 with no complaints after totally ruining our experience. None of us will ever step foot in that place again. read more

Ventured out to Covina & decided to check out Bodega & so glad we did. It's such a nice space, great bar area, huge TV all around, great looking menu, staff is awesome. The manager, David is awesome, very friendly & welcoming. Definitely cool people and a fun vibe. We had the fuego wings which were delicious, perfect kick and their homemade Potato Chip, definitely recommend they are seasoned perfectly! Had a great time, definitely check them out. They have a club upstairs and a band or Dj couple nights a week. Fun spot & great service! read more

Service sucks ... sat at the bar a good 10min no acknowledgment. The bartender finally walked by i asked if we can order and she said yea give me a second and ignored us for 10min. It was less than 15 people in the whole place and yet they only served only the people on the opposite side. It's not the first time being here and that what's kept me away i figured I be back and try it again but still lack of service is always bad especially when it's not busy. read more

Was super excited to try this restaurant. Read a couple of reviews but went in with an open mind. Walked in on a Saturday around 4pm and it was not too busy. The place is clean and vibrant. Beautiful decor with nice lighting. Right away the owner attended us and suggested appetizers. She was really nice and informative. For starters we tried their buffalo wings. Their house sauce was delicious and the wings cooked to perfection. Good sized wings with lots of flavor. Highly recommended. Also shared hot links with house made potato chips. Those were also a hit. Everything is made to order and packed with ingredients. My child loved her mini burger.Well cooked and presented. They have over 40 taps. That's impressive. I tried show me your melons. It's a crisp fruity beer. The pear martini was fire but hands down the pineapple grilled margarita was superb. A must try. They also have live music but we left before they performed.Once the restaurant got busy and the owner left the service got stagnant.We had to get up a few times to find someone. Also the food can take a while so be patient. It's worth the wait though. With better service and quicker food delivery this place would be a solid 5 star restaurant. I will definitely be coming back to Bodega. read more
