    Bubbles via bottle service = $30/bottle which is a bargain for the 7 glasses and chic pedestal it comes with! lol

    ****This is the lobby bar of the hills hotel**** The quaint hotel bar... Dark w/ pretty mood lights and there's a 10x10 dance floor with jazz on a Saturday night. The lobby is fabulous with glamorous decor and chic chairs - I actually wish we were able to drink and mingle out there! I didn't try but after the bar closed we did just go and hang in the middle atrium area and it was really beautiful. This hotel is actually very well decorated. It's chic and classy with interesting design elements. You can see and feel that it was a remodel from a more generic chain but that's kind of amazing as well because when ownership changes they didn't have to do a lemons-to-lemonade remodel but they did. There seems to be a lot of weddings here and a bridal party and entered the bar around 11 after the wedding but unfortunately it closes at 11:30 so they only got one round. Maybe on Saturday nights they should stay open later especially when they host a wedding. They would probably do more trade and get more business! Well decorated, plentiful parking. So so bar. I think they could do well to have a few signature cocktails or something a little more alluring. I asked for a list and the server said they didn't have one... that might help. Have some crafty cocktails and/or dinner at Ironwood across the street then come back her for a night cap w/ jazz... that's what we did and it wasn't crazy amazing but bring your own party and enjoy the live jazz on Saturday night! Definitely request the sexy saxophone song...

    Great place for a date. I like the Jazz in the background, the comfortable chairs, and that it wasn't very crowd. Parking was easy!

    What a cute little gem! We were searching for a sports bar…read moreto grab a beer after a hike, and stumbled upon this place. We got there on a Saturday around 3:30 pm and the bar was already packed with regulars. (Thats always a good sign) We sat at one of the bar round tables and got a couple beers and some food. Our server was incredibly helpful and friendly. Going to far as to modify a meal for my husband, who keeps a strict diet. I got the short rib and mash, and it was really flavorful. I added some veggies to feel better about myself. They didn't have anything green, but you take what you can get. The vibe was fun and vibrant. Lots of laughter. Great viewing with TV's. There is good seating for families. Really happy we found this place.

    I'm very disappointed with my experience at Pub Thirty Two. We came in just trying to relax and…read moreenjoy our afternoon after a long day of work. When we ordered drinks, the bartender already seemed a bit rude and unwelcoming, which set the tone for the visit. To avoid any issues and just enjoy ourselves, we decided to sit outside quietly. Unfortunately, the situation got worse. Two employees came outside and approached us in a very disrespectful way and made a racist remark, referring to us as "two tequilas" and saying "clean up those two tequilas," basically telling us we needed to leave immediately. It was extremely uncomfortable and offensive. No customer should ever be treated that way. Restaurants and bars should be places where everyone feels welcome and respected. Allowing employees to behave in a racist and disrespectful manner toward customers is unacceptable. What makes it even more disappointing is that I was actually considering bringing a group of coworkers here in the future. After this experience, I absolutely won't be doing that. The service was rude, unprofessional, and completely ruined what should have been a relaxing afternoon.

The moment you walk in, you're wrapped in warm, cozy pine--wood-paneled walls, soft amber lighting, and that unmistakable speakeasy charm. Its very small and cozy, resembling a night out camping. And then there's Angelina. From the moment we sat down, she made the experience absolutely unforgettable. She knew the menu inside and out, recommended a smoked old-fashioned that came with a toasted marshmallow. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does--and it shows. She's the secret ingredient that turns a good night into a great one!

    Okay this is officially the only kind of camping I'm willing to do…read more Tucked inside Bacchus Wine Bar is the cutest little camping-themed speakeasy, and it completely exceeded expectations. From the moment you walk in, it's giving cozy campsite vibes but elevated -- like if camping had good lighting, great cocktails, and zero bugs. We had such a fun night here. The ambiance alone makes it feel like a whole experience, not just drinks. We tried a few of their specialty cocktails, all super well done, but the real highlight was our server John. He was amazing -- attentive, fun, and clearly knows his drinks. At one point he made us an off-menu cocktail that was STRONG (in the best way) and honestly one of my favorites of the night. And the attention to detail?? He even let me borrow his hat for photos so I could fully commit to the camping aesthetic 10/10 for the vibes. Overall: such a cute, unique spot for a night out. Perfect for something a little different, a little playful, and definitely memorable. Would absolutely come back -- as long as it's this kind of camping.

    A must stop for any goonies lover…read more The entrance leaves a lot to be desired, but I suppose it add more to the magic and experience once you've entered. It feels like we're are navigating the caves from the movie and the bar is the treasure ship. Once you enter there is decor and memorabilia spread throughout (whether any of it is authentic or not I'm not sure) they have speciality drinks after the movie and the bartender was very attentive.

He sadly passed away recently and his memorial is this weekend, so we tried to go to Lost Inferno to celebrate him with all his high school and college friends. We called in advance and the person we spoke to said we couldn't make a reservation unless we could guarantee 20 people, but we could walk in with a smaller group no problem. Of course we got there right when they opened and they told us they couldn't seat us for an hour. We joined the wait list and walked to a bar a couple doors down waiting for the text that our table was ready. We received a text that our table would be ready at a specific time and then 2 minutes before our table was supposed to be ready we get a text saying we were removed from the wait list with no clarification or follow up. I understand being busy/booked up, but I would have liked to have received accurate information. We could have made reservations online if we had been told. I wore his favorite Goonies Hawaiian shirt and everything expecting to have a nice time talking about my husband. I guess I'm glad we never had the opportunity to experience this level of service with my husband, and guess I won't be back seeing that he's dead and all. Edited to add tips - don't believe anything they tell you on the phone and if you really want to go, make a reservation, and apparently they will close for you if you can guarantee 20 people.
