Overall, we stuck to the happy hour menu which had a few options including 4 cocktails ($11) and there were a few snack options at $6. I believe they had some deals on beer/wine but Im more into cocktails so I didnt pay too much attention to those offerings! The drinks (sangria, margarita, and delayed orgasm) were all delicious as were the snacks (naan bites & fries). While we didn't stray from the happy hour menu, Mortar & Pestle is connected to the Curry Up Now so they have a a huge menu to select from if youre feeling hungry. We did notice that the service was a little slow and it took a while to get a drink. We also felt slightly rushed by the staff. It almost felt like they wanted us to order more or leave.

The experience at Blast & Brew was very disappointing in terms of service…read more We came in about 50 minutes before closing, which should have been enough time for a normal dining experience. Instead, we were told we had to order food by 9:25pm but after being seated, no one came to help us for quite a while with no menus. My husband stood up and requested a menu. That already put us behind, through no fault of our own. Once someone finally came over, everything felt rushed. We were told we couldn't get beer past 9:40pm and by 9:35pm our server (Tejas P.) was already trying to take our card while we were still getting drinks he had said 9:40pm was the last call but rushed us before . The whole experience felt like we were being pushed out the door. To make things worse, staff were staring at us while we were eating, which made it really uncomfortable. When we had asked for to go containers, we also asked for extra ranch to go.. well our server said he didn't think so but my husband was upset and said " what ? You can't get any ranch, really? " He answered " let me check but I'll have to charge extra" we said it was fine and he did end up bringing some out. The food was actually great, but the service completely ruined the experience. I always tip, even when service isn't perfect but this was the first time I felt it wasn't deserved. No customer should feel rushed or uncomfortable like this, especially when they arrived within business hours. This place seriously needs to improve how they treat guests even toward closing time we had more than enough time to get treated with some respect.

Never knew a neighborhood bar can offer a food menu to enjoy there or order for pick up or delivery…read more(through a third party) The foods are pretty good. I have tried several items such as street tacos, quesabirria tacos, burritos, Barbacoa (soup) and menudo (soup). My favorites are the weekend red menudo which has no hominy, but wish it did and the burrito (in both sizes). Menudo is one of the best in the area (I shouldn't say that too loud, but it's true). It's not watered down like other restaurants, it's full bodied and meats (tripe and pata) are soft. I do wish we had an option of hominy that we can request. Burrito have been filling as I have tried several meats. It's heavy to the hand and filling to anyone's belly. Sometimes I enjoy for 2 mini meals in a day. Quesa birria tacos are the third favorite. Cheesy, crispy and greasy in the best way. Consume is flavorful too. The least favorites are the barbacoa (soup) as itwas mostly broth and minimal shreds of beef, if any. The tacos are enjoyed by family, but there is an abundance of a taste or flavor I don't prefer. I maybe wrong but I think it's oregano (but again not 100%). The third not so fav are the regular nachos with just cheese and jalepeno. Also, a negative is that 2 orders were missing items. So check your bags to make sure. So thats not a good feeling when that part of someone's order but recourse is to drive back or let third party know to get a few dollars off. We prefer to receive order and enjoy. Not to follow up with a drive back or a complaint of an item shortage to get refunded a few bucks. Otherwise the staff inside are very nice and understanding. The menudo and burrito are favorited of mine. I will follow up and order other dishes or appetizers, along with the weekend red menudo.

The cocktail menu is inspired by records, and you can feel the creativity in every sip. These aren't your standard bar pours -- they're clearly thought out and crafted with personality. If you're someone who appreciates a drink with a story behind it, you'll be in your element here. The live DJ on weekends takes the whole experience to another level. The music isn't background noise -- it's part of the atmosphere, and it hits right. What makes this place truly special is that you're getting two completely different vibes under one roof. Walk into Still OG up front and you get a casual, laid-back energy -- easy conversation, good company, no pretension. Then slip into the speakeasy in the back and the whole mood shifts. Alter Ego is a proper intimate lounge with their full bar, and it feels like a world away from the street outside. The transition between the two spaces is surprisingly seamless and genuinely fun to experience. And they're open late, which puts them in a rare category of places actually worth staying out for. Whether you're there for a chill night out or a proper evening, this place delivers both without making you choose.

Can still remember the gourmet dogs and duck fat fries back in the days... Awesome what they did to the place. The new set up with the dim lights and neon menu is noice. Ended up chilling at the front bar. Definitely will return to explore the back at a later time. Food: A We got to sample a variety of goodies and drinks from the menu, which definitely hit the spot. The skewers were cooked just right with a kiss of smoke from the grill. The takoyaki were good as expected--yum. We ended the excursion with the milk bread; it was surely a crowd-pleaser. It was fluffy goodness, topped with furikake, and served with a side of decadent house butter. Drinks were perfectly crafted and refreshing.
