We absolutely loved this place! We sat at the bar. The bartenders were super friendly and enthusiastic and answered my 100 questions about the cocktails. The owner was there and was great to talk to. Just a super vibe and a great crowd. This place is a real find. read more

New favorite bar in town, hands down!! Every cocktail that came out was not only delicious but seriously Instagram-worthy! I know how we love those fun glasses...and they had several!! You can tell the bartenders take pride in their craft, and even though the place was packed, they were pumping out drinks fast without sacrificing quality. The vibe is what sealed it for me. The DJ was spinning all the Millennial throwbacks, and the whole crowd was into it. It felt like the perfect mix of fun, stylish, and a little nostalgic all at once! 1000% loved everything about this place, from the drinks to the energy,and I'm already planning my next night out here, I'll try to save you a seat!! read more

Visited after a show at Gallo. On this day they seemed to have an event going on so we were at their bar on the side. There was a couple small setting areas in bar and consequently it was VERY busy. With that in mind, I think the bar staff was doing its best having to serve the party going on and also everyone at the bar. While it was a long wait, the drinks were well made and they have a variety of options. The vibe was really enjoyable and is definitely one of the good bars in Modesto which definitely needs more. Wish this place the best and hope we see more like it! read more

We have enjoyed this place in the past. Our most recent visit 10 days ago, on a Friday night was a disaster. Only one server. Only 2 out of 4 entrees available. Took over 40 minutes to get our meal, after waiting 20 minutes for our drinks. Can't recommend until it getsfixed. read more

Was there Saturday April 4th for my preparty cocktail drinks before dinner. Must say the happy hour menu for drinks reminds me of college days especially the beers. Natural light, colt 45, Mickey's to name a few. Mixed drinks were on point. Ended up ordering 4 old fashions. Bartender was excellent! Recommended some bomb as tequila Anejo which went down smooth! Ordered 4 shots! So there was 6 of us! Do the math ! Left the feeling rosy! Only suggestions would be to have a DJ to down spin smooth chillin music that fits the ambience. Add this touch I'm sure the lounge will be vibrant! read more

We tried the restaurant (formerly Chef's of New York). Limited menu, but the kitchen was very good at working with my food issue. The decor and serve were awesome. Very nice having live music. read more

The ramen was not good but the little pot sticker type things were very good and so was the latte with brown sugar. I loved the vibe of the place... cute decor and they host poetry Slam nights with backup music. There were some very talented writers and I would definitely go back for the coffee and entertainment. P.s. there's the lofi bar next door where you can order drinks from and bring into the restaurant too. read more

I love coming here! Amazing cocktail menu, something for everyone. I particularly appreciate the menu of less alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Obviously, the place has a great vibe, too.

A great speakeasy bar. My favorite type of bar. Super chill vibes. Couches and lighting set the mood. And the bartender makes very good classic cocktails. A lot of people suggest taking selfies in the bathroom as well. I guess the bathroom has the best lighting for selfies. read more

Okay, downside first, the salad was huge! Upside, it was so delicious I had to stop myself from eating every last bite. The service was attentive without being obnoxious.

Lo-fi has just expanded into the restaurant business, and brings a fresh setting to Modesto. The new vibe is much more impressive than I was expecting. For having just opened, there were no hiccups. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised through my entire dining experience. Cocktails were already great, and now they're complimented by a confident menu and a competent waitstaff. The only drawback is that the dining room is small and a little cramped, but for now, I think it adds to the charm. Absolutely worth a try and I hope this momentum continues. read more

I was really disappointed with this place. Vibes inside and cozy couches were cool but terrible service. The bartender wanted nothing to do with us, almost like we were an inconvenience. She sat at the bar like a customer while we sat with empty drinks wanting to order another round. I asked for recommendations on drinks and she wasn't any help. She kind of described the drink I was ordering but forgot to mention it tasted like pure licorice, yuck. A lovely local restaurant recommended this bar for us out of towners but we should have gone somewhere else. read more

Probably an off experience tonight. We have been here often but tonight we didn't feel welcome. The drinks were off. My old fashioned wasn't served with ice. The drinks my wife and her friend ordered were weak. They did come by with water which was nice. The vibe was off though. My wife and her friend felt we were not welcome. Our friend paid the tab and some lady picked up the pillow he accidentally knocked down and glared at our party. It was uncomfortable. We pushed all seats in when we left. There was no greeting or goodbye. It was so off from our other experiences here. I hate to post this. read more

Cool and chill vibe. Good pour and food looks delivered. Would definitely recommend.! Couches were so cozy! Bar service was knowledgeable. read more

lo-fi labs lounge - Facts! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Modesto, California

Awful cocktail, was way over priced for what was basically 7-up. Everyone was trying way too hard at really nothing. The bartender was put out when my husband ordered his drink. Highlight of the bar was the comfy couch and the random dog that walked in. It's pretty inside but the overpriced drinks weren't worth the effort. There was one girl that redeemed the entire situation. She was bussing the table and was very friendly. Perhaps I'll try again another day. Maybe it was a fluke and just a bad day. I can't say it was because they were too busy. Oh well. read more

The bar tenders are truly talented. The drinks are so unique and well made. The space is small but they use it well. Seats all along the bar or large couches and a little room to dance too. Really chill vibes and amazing cocktails. read more

Go for the food, stay for the coffee! Both are top notch. The corned beef hash with perfect over-medium eggs was diner heaven, and the marble rye toast was actually toasted, not just warmed up. My wife's veggie omelette was fluffy and full of flavor. I had an Americano that was exactly to taste and they served my wife a specialty coffee, after actually listened to her specific request, serving her a drink that left her pleased! Although the tomatoes confit seemed more like stewed tomatoes, they were flavorful and magnificent spread on the toast. Not nearly enough people were there at 10am on a Saturday. You're missing out, people! (Sorry-Forgot to take pics) read more

One of the very few bars that make their cocktails from scratch. No premixed mixers. Great tasting cocktails. Knowledge of cocktails and the history of the spirts is exceptional. Service is great friendly and knowledgeable. Food is also great could be bigger portions. read more

I won't lie that when I first checked out this bar the customer service was a little dry; however, they must have learned from the constructive criticism of other reviews as it has improved from then till now. I've probably been to the bar a total of 8-10 times, and every time I've come it's been a fun filled night. The drinks are exotically unique and every different drink I've had the chance to try leaves me with a tasteful impression. The atmosphere in the bar is also very cozy. I also love how well informed Shawna (owner) and the rest of the staff are. Their craftsmanship in cocktail making is a true passion as I can tell based off two cocktails classes I've taken so far. The classes themselves were extremely fun. I'd also like to point out that Roni's customer service has been very attentive moving forward. I've enjoyed the conversations had and the over all engagement. I'm aiming to try their food/brunch spot next door soon and will gladly update my review if needed when I do. read more

I've been to Lo-Fi a total of 3 times, and I can't wait to go back. Whether you're going on a date, out with friends, or taking your SO there, this place is a must go. The vibes are vibin' and the drinks are-a-drinkin'. I had their what she's having, which is a refreshing lime/passion fruit margarita adjacent libation that I could not recommend more strongly. I've also had their egg nog drink on NYE- I cannot stop thinking about it: I can still taste the silky smooth finish with a side of aromatic cinnamon: just yum! More about the vibes: they just vibing: check it out for yourself: I've been there on comedy night, with a live dj, and just a week night. Loved it! And all of that in modesto no less. read more
