Petrol Head is an incredibly awesome late night spot! You'll find them near Honey Pig Korean BBQ,…read moreand right behind True Matcha. They have visible signage out front, but the parking and entrance are in the back. To get there, drive around the building and turn right into the back alley, you'll see a cornered parking lot.
Inside is a dimly lit atmosphere that's inviting, casual, laid back and cozy with awesome background music. I was listening to an interesting song by Empire of the Sun called "Ask That God," which has a bittersweet melody but a happy upbeat 80s tempo. It's like an ethereal song with dancing beats, truly captivating and fantastic!
Menu offers a nice selection of appetizers, wings, mains, smash burgers, as well as dinner for two, late night pit stop, and desserts.
For refreshments, they have beer, wine, sake, and zero proof. I asked if they had non-alcoholic drinks like iced tea but they don't carry it, only sodas and bar drinks. I chose iced water with lemon instead, which is still good and cooling!
I was curious to try a light snack, and the bartender Marcela recommended the Musubis. She mentioned I could do a mix-and-match.
So I ordered Musubis (2 pieces, $10), one with Spam and the other with Portuguese sausage, and both are amazingly tasty!
The Portuguese sausage has good flavor, it's tender with a light soft chew, and tastes great with rice, so YUM!
Spam Musubi is also delicious! It's a lovely pan-fried crisp spam with a slight sweetness, and has furikake on rice, such a satisfying snack and really good!
Service from Marcela is outstanding! She's very kind, welcoming, attentive, courteous, super helpful, and friendly. She is so nice and made time to check in, and even refilling my drink, I appreciate it! Her recommendation to get the Musubis was excellent!
Just a note, they open every day from 5pm to 1am, with the last call for food orders at 12:30am.
There's also a live DJ on Mondays and Tuesdays, especially for Taco Tuesday with Latin music playing all night, and free karaoke is included with food purchase on Thursdays.
I checked out the karaoke room, and it's very cozy with comfy seating. Petrol Head is definitely a great spot to hangout, unwind, enjoy good food, and refreshing drinks!
