I have been there quite a bit, I never been disappointed in any of the food items I have ordered. Not to mention the drinks are cold and tasty. The portion sizes are worth the price, and everything looked just as good as it tasted. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The restaurant was also very clean and had a nice atmosphere, which made the experience even better. It is also family friendly I would definitely come back and recommend this place to anyone looking for good food and great service."

If you're anywhere near Hesperia or Oak Hills, Ropers Lounge is an absolute must. The food is…read moreconsistently awesome, and the portions are no joke--you definitely get your money's worth. The drinks are always on point, whether you're keeping it simple or trying something new. What really sets this place apart is the service. The waitresses and bartenders are always friendly, attentive, and make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. It's clear the owners genuinely care about the experience. The vibe is one of the best parts--laid-back, welcoming, and full of locals who give it that true community feel. You'll see a lot of familiar faces from Oak Hills and Hesperia, which just adds to the charm. Juan and Natalie, the owners, are often there themselves, making sure everything runs smoothly and that guests are taken care of. That personal touch goes a long way. The Country Music is always great. Whether it's the regular playlist or a live band, the volume is perfect--you can actually enjoy the music and have a conversation without yelling across the table, which is rare these days. My wife and I go as often as we can, and it never disappoints. Highly recommend Ropers Lounge 100%! -- Moises & Josie Gutierrez

We found this place on and are so glad we did! It happened to be karaoke night so we karaoke'd as well. The host karaoke host was nice and the bartenders took care of everyone. It was a welcoming environment full of good vibes. I should mention it had more of a country feel based on the music that was being played (which I love) but im not sure if it's like this every night or if they switch up the genre. All in all we're so glad we found this place and look forward to coming more often.

As a trans person, I felt very comfortable to be myself here. I say the only thing I didn't like so much was the loudness of the music. It was my first time here and didn't realize it was drag night so drag queens were performing and the music was so loud I could barely have a conversation with my friend without asking him to repeat himself multiple times because I could barely hear what he was saying. I recommend you go on a day when drag queens aren't performing if you're looking for a more chill, laid back kind of vibe which is totally my style. Other than that, it was cool and I'll definitely be going back. This time I want to try their food.

What a neat find at Haven City Market! Located adjacent to Native Son, Raffael's is a step into a…read moreSouthwestern vibe where guests can relax with their drinks away from the lively atmosphere of HCM. One of the coolest things about a speakeasy is the transition into the space. Here, there's a walkway and corner, then turn into the candle and subtle lit space. It's a small thing? But that bit of walk helps distance the mind and feel open to the special space. There is a bar with seating, a long high top, and bench & table booth-ish type seating. The colors are warm, reminiscent of sitting in a western sunset. Music plays - jazzy, alternative, happy music. We were greeted and seated by the friendly hostess, then welcomed warmly by the magic maker himself: the bartender! And what delightfully unique, and dare I say daring, concoctions he made! The cocktails each had a spin, an ingredient, something *different* from the norm, making it challenging for my friend and I to narrow down which delights to try! Even the popcorn was unique, with chili and nutritional yeast savoriness that was the perfect complement to our cocktails. My friend felt the Silver Cloud was quite the adult version of a smoothie dessert! She got ideas...I adored my Last Word. It was refreshing with the green chartreuse and incredibly not-put-down-able. Next up, she had the Bandolier. It was a very unique taste to her, pretty puckery, so the bartender - who checked on us regularly for impressions - added a bit more pineapple. That did the trick! My next was the Boulevardier, which was uniquely and deliciously twisted with the coffee and salt. Absolute yum!!! Even though there's a 90 minute limit, on this Thursday night there was plenty of space between imbibers, and we weren't pressured in any way to move along. Thank you, as we were due for a proper catch up. One thing we did notice, is that once there were more folks chatting and laughing, it became a bit echo-y and harder to hear. On a busier night, I imagine the ambience we first experienced- quieter, mellow, chill vibe - likely changes to more robust and lively. Either way, this place is a feels-far-away retreat worth "traveling" to.

The music isn't too loud which was nice as well. My wife and I tried several drinks between the two of us. All of them were very good. The staff were friendly and personable. Be aware that you may want to use the restroom prior to entering. If you have to use the restroom while inside, you'll have to exit outside and walk back into the market space to use one. This is a bar only, so plan accordingly to eat as there are no food items to order inside. 10/10 would recommend and my wife and I were glad we stopped in. This will be our go to local cocktail bar from now on.

I felt this place deserved a little boost of moral and credibility, as the bartender was amenable, the drink was well made and the price reasonable. The only con for me was that as a traveler/outsider it felt like my date and I were walking in someone's living room. Yea, it was cozy in a sense but also wicked small (with a mirror that created the illusion of space).

*The Best Cigar Lounge within an Hour to Disneyland*…read more My fam went back to Disney every night. I couldn't find a lounge Sunday or Monday. Then, Tuesday I found 8 Eighty Eight Cigar Lounge! What a great lounge. The parking lot it's in is the same you'd use for Cultura Tacos y Mas and Fuoco's! What a trifecta!!!!First, up front Robert (Bob, Bobby) is the best! Very knowledgeable able and top notch when interacting and delivering great customer service. Love they have Opus X's and the next two nights I went to town haha. They have 4 chairs in the front room and very well lit. Middle Room, Bar Room, is where McKenzie is throwing down! This is more that darker, club vibe. This has a lot of hightop seating and many TV's, not to mention a killer bar. Also awesome. She recommended a burrito place in the same parking lot and it was the best burrito I've ever had! The Third area is straight lounge chairs, music, digital jukebox and bathroom, with medium lighting. This lounge is very deceiving one would think it's very small if you go to the front but then you'll see if it's very large. Loved spending my time there both nights. *Overall, there aren't many lounges now down there, thank God this one's so good!*

I called to confirm they were open, but no one answered. after 30 secs I got a call back saying sorry I missed your call. I was speaking with Mario who I had the pleasure to meet shortly after. Walking in, there was a nice size humidor with high end, medium, low budget options. I picked a few shown in the attached pics. Both well aged and conditioned. Worth noting, It is rare to find a cigar lounge with a full bar in OC and in general in California. Only other two I've been to is one in San Diego and another in Danville. Vegas lounge vibes with dimmed lighting and multiple screens. The front cigar-bar lounge has ample high top chairs and tables. Easily can seat ~30 people. Every seat has a view of the screens which is great. High ceilings and very good air ventilation. The bar had great supply of everything, and service was great. The bourbon was reasonably priced but the Japanese scotch was way way over priced, ah well lesson learned, won't order those again. The second/rear lounge had larger leather couches and chairs with a few screens with less distractions for cigar enjoyment. Can seat another 20+ people. Overall I would rank 4.0 stars! one suggestion is for management o provide a menu with alcohol pricing instead of us needing to ask waiter each time what cost of a drink would be. I will definitely be back!
