    Bring on the pool and drinks! Love Pala for all it has to offer...Jackpot!
    Scott C.

    When the choice is to make between the Casinos in Southern California, hands down it is Pala! The property, staff and experience are the best. So relaxing and enjoyable with it's exclusive feel and size that keeps things on a personal level. Enjoy!

    Wow! Pala has created a wonderful pool area at the cost of several hundred employees who were let go so Pala could build this pool. So first there is no actual swimming pool there are about 8 lounging pools . You can't really swim because the pools are so small but I do like the idea of these lounge pool because if you're in a small group you can have your own little pool. They have several cabana's that cost up to $450 plus champagne. There's a decent size bar but the drinks are a little on the pricey side but hey that's what you get at a casino.

    We really enjoyed coming to Pala resort and casino. The energy here is serene The view from the rooms on the poolside are amazing. The restaurants onsite serve delicious food. The cave and the steakhouse specifically. The sushi is ok. Big course we are spoiled by big mike. I recommend coming here for a staycation.

    One cashier +one person making drinks= long ass lines ! This is for a concert really . Pala needs to put more staff working at the bar

Great customer service! * Bee's Knees * Man From San Jose My drink (Bee's Knees) was nice and refreshing. You could really taste the honey. The hubby's drink was SUPER strong.

We arrived early on a Friday evening, and thankfully it wasn't crowded. Since they don't take reservations, getting there early is definitely the way to go. We ordered the Dealer's Choice, which was refreshing, balanced, and beautifully presented. We also tried one of their stronger signature cocktails, and they definitely don't hold back -- there's a reason they limit those drinks to two per person! Both drinks were creative and well-crafted. The bartenders clearly know their craft, and the drink presentation was outstanding. Service was good, although not especially memorable, which is why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. One thing that would make the experience even more immersive would be if the entire staff wore cowboy attire to match the Old West theme. With the speakeasy setting and vintage decor, it would add a fun touch and make the experience feel even more authentic. Overall, Twain Speakeasy offers excellent cocktails, good music, and a unique atmosphere. I would definitely come back again, and my recommendation is to arrive early since reservations aren't available and I can see this place filling up quickly on busy nights.

The whole bar is vibey and cute, perfect for happy hour or a fun night out. The drinks were delicious and the food was incredible. The bartender was super attentive and took extra time to help me identify which items were gluten free. I've also been to Same Same multiple times for late night fun! They often have a dj in the back and have even hosted an emo night. I always have fun and the place is usually packed. I'll definitely be back both for late night parties and daytime happy hours and food!

    Same Same, but Different? Not Quite…read more Hiya B.U.M.S., We recently decided to check out Same Same, hoping for an experience that was delightfully different. Our order for the night? The Thai-style New York steak, Khao Soi curry, and larb lettuce cups--all paired with a custom-crafted, half-Cranberry, half-Sprite. Before we even tasted the food, we almost ended up eating next door. The entrances are a bit of a maze, leaving us standing outside having a mini identity crisis about where we actually wanted to dine. Ultimately, we stayed the course and chose Same Same. The Larb Lettuce Cups: As a massive larb fan, I was hyped. Unfortunately, it fell a bit flat. My wife officially dubbed it "lackluster." While the ground beef was seasoned and the lettuce was beautifully crisp, when the lettuce is the undisputed star of your larb, it might be time to reevaluate the recipe. The Yellowtail Ceviche: To recover from the larb disappointment, my wife ordered the ceviche. It was a step up, but for a Thai spot, it was missing that signature kick. It really needed a handful of jalapeños to wake it up. In fact, nothing on the table was truly spicy until I deployed their house chili oil. The Khao Soi Curry: This was the absolute hero of the night! It completely saved the meal. It was rich and delicious, and it paired unexpectedly well with our New York steak--even though the kitchen served it well-done instead of our requested medium-rare. As dinner went on, it became pretty clear that this spot might cater a bit more to the happy hour and drinking crowd, especially considering my Cranberry-Sprite mix was arguably the most flavor-packed thing on the table. That said, the service was fantastic. The staff members were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Pro-Tip: If you're ordering more than two items, do not let them seat you at the tiny tables for two. It's a high-stakes game of food Tetris you will not win. On the bright side, they earned major bonus points for boxing up our leftovers for us. Call me old-fashioned, but I feel like every restaurant should still offer that level of hospitality! Overall, I'd say give it a shot if you're in the neighborhood and looking for a cool atmosphere, but I wouldn't rush off your couch to get there.
