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!

It's different than any other restaurant I've been too, i love it! Our waitress for the evening was Lidia, she was amazing & very attentive. My husband got a Tito's and tonic, i tried out their lemon drop, both were so refreshing. Next we got ahi poke nachos and they are just as delicious as they are beautiful. I'm a saucy gal, i think it could have used a little bit more sauce but it was still great. For dinner we split the New York steak with fries. It's called something cool but i can't remember the name. Steak was perfect. I will say we both thought the fries could have been cooked a bit longer, it was giving freezer fries :/. The star of the whole meal was the Brussel sprouts we got on the side. They were glazed and DELICIOUS. I'd come back just to have those sprouts. We will def be back, 5/5

The bartenders were awesome, always super attentive without hovering, and they clearly know their cocktails! I tried a couple, including a perfectly smooth espresso martini that kept me wanting another. They were spot on! We stopped in on a Saturday night and the DJ was absolutely on fire, great energy that kept the place buzzing without being over the top. It ended up being the perfect mix for a fun date night! Classy atmosphere, great drinks, good music, with plenty of space to find a quiet corner to chat! Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a spot that feels a little different from the usual bar scene.

Stephanie, the bartender, truly made the experience unforgettable. She made one of the best Old Fashioned I've ever had, and every sauce she added to the food was next-level--seriously to die for. The menu has something for everyone, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. We live about 45 minutes away, but the great service, incredible food, and overall atmosphere make it completely worth the drive. I had to leave a bit early, but they even have a DJ on the weekends, which adds to the fun energy. One tip: I believe they stop serving food around 10 PM, so make sure you arrive early enough to fully enjoy their unique menu. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back!

If you haven't experienced karaoke at Speakeasy, you're missing one of the most steadily growing…read moremusic rooms in town. Neil and Tristan have built something that feels intentional. It's not chaotic karaoke. It's not ego-driven. It's a room where singers are respected, the sound is dialed in, and the energy rises and falls naturally throughout the night. What I appreciate most is how they run the floor. Rotation stays fair. The mic levels are balanced. Adjustments are made when needed. They're paying attention -- and that matters when you care about your performance. I've watched the room swell to 60+ and ease down to a tight circle near closing, and both versions feel good. Big crowd? Electric. Smaller crowd? Intimate and locked in. That's leadership from the booth. And here's the exciting part: Starting Tuesday, March 10, 2026 at 8PM, they're opening another karaoke night during the week. That tells you everything. They're not coasting. They're building. Opening a Tuesday gives local singers another space to sharpen their craft, support a venue that supports them, and bring life into a traditionally slower night. That's good for the performers and good for downtown. If you're someone who: * Likes clean sound * Appreciates organized rotations * Wants to sing without drama * Or just wants a solid midweek night out Put Tuesday at 8PM on your calendar. Order a pizza--pepperoni or cheese--they are delicious. Neil and Tristan are doing it the right way -- steady growth, real community, and a stage that feels earned. I'll be back.

Their timing, energy, and crowd interaction were spot-on, and you could tell they genuinely love what they do! The back patio atmosphere at The Lounge was cozy and fun. They recently renovated their patio and it looks amazing! Their wood paneling, new awning and heaters made it warm, comfortable and you honestly wouldn't have been able to tell you were outside in November. Also the wait staff deserves their own round of applause! They were incredibly attentive and friendly. If you're looking for a great night out with good vibes, talented comedians, The Lounge is definitely the place!

Or, have a mini Portuguese beer ice cold w/pull off top for $2.75!! cocktails you say? Yep.. just the way you order them. Also, they do have a few IPA's. I haven't tried the Chinese food next door, but it looks good. If you're hungry you can bring it in. go support this local bar and say hi to the girls working:)
