I stopped by Temptations for the first time today after leaving a concert, and the whole experience felt genuinely welcoming. Coming from a diverse background, I really pay attention to how a place treats people, and the hostess made me feel comfortable the second I walked in. She had this warm, friendly energy that just put me at ease. I actually went back before leaving because her kindness stood out so much that I wanted to know her name. I'm pretty sure she said Margot, and she deserves all the credit for making my first visit such a good one. Temptations has great vibes, and Margot's hospitality sealed the deal for me. I'll definitely be back. read more

Came on a Thursday for R&B night. Entry was free. As expected it was busy at the bar. We were finally able to get some drinks and sat outside on the patio. We eventually made our was back inside and found seats at the bar. The music was good BUT THE DJ TALKS WAY TOO MUCH! He doesn't let the songs play all the way! He keeps getting on the mic yapping! The constant interruption was unbelievable. Its like he just wanted to keep hearing his voice..... BUT WE DIDN'T! This is a lounge, not a podcast! Save your breath mister man and let us enjoy the music. read more

The bar service was excellent. I ordered the spicy lemon pepper wings based on the young ladies recommendation. I received six huge wings and a plate of the best fries I've had in a long time. The ambience here was entertaining and not annoying in the slightest. Most of the patrons were seemingly full of joy. Would definitely recommend! read more

They went above and beyond to make me a drink I'd like. Very friendly and good music, we will be back!

Great food and Amazing service, jerrika (Jay) was totally awesome. Friendly and professional. Definitely will be back. read more

The food is OVERRRRRRRRRRRR priced like hell. The customer service needs a lot of work and I'm talking all around; the door men/bouncers, the waiters, the bartenders, etc. I'm not a fan of this place at all. And, the bathroom was disgusting. If the quality of the food matched the price I wouldn't be upset but coming from the east coast to here-- I'm not impressed. The DJ is bad it's just an overall flop, imo. Save your money and stay home or go somewhere else. read more

A great place to hang out with friends, offering good music, food, and excellent service. Great experience to fulfill your party needs.

Just not going back, not my type of crowd. I always see the parking lot full and we finally decided to check it out

Customer service was mediocre and service as a whole was unbelievably slow, with only 5 customers present on a Friday at 3. Food was also mediocre. read more

Best and longest running lounge in Arlington!!! Will go back and definitely tell everyone about my experiences there!

Decided to meet up with a guy friend to hang. It was bikers night, so the crowd was okay. Wasn't too busy, which was good especially bc this whole covid thing. Ordered a drink patron with cranberry juice. It arrived in a small ass cup, and wasn't even full. They literally filled it halfway. The bad the nerve to charge me $9 for it. On top of that, they had a covid cupping fee of $4. Also the waitress stated since I ordered a drink, I also had to order food. Not mad at her bc I'm sure she she was just doing as told. Weird "rule" especially if I only ordered a drink and not multiple. Honestly seemed a little ghetto in there but no drama so that was good. Honestly I won't probably be back. It's not worth the drive. Especially if I just wanna drink while In the area. Unsure how food was since I didn't try it. A lot of people seemed to be ordering and enjoying it so that's a plus. read more

Drinks are watered & iced down. I'm not a drinker, means I literally drink once a year & I could not taste anything in my drink. Nor my colleagues. I come because I don't want to drink far but if something else was closer I would check them out. And the music before 10p is clearly just a streaming because the music was all over the place. My suggestion would be to you tube a dj'ed mix & let it roll until you get your dj in. read more

I love this lounge spot! I've been here during the week and on a Saturday... enjoyed both times. Great food, good drinks and good music! They have hookah on the weekend and it's like a small club vibe on the weekend. The staff is really nice and just a chill place to get some good food any day of the week! read more

Cool place, from the outside it seems more upscale. Very good vibe. Service was a bit food but food is good. Would definitely go back again.

Me and my girlfriends came here for a night out! We came on a weekday. Parking is super easy and FREE! just park anywhere in the giant lot. It's next to a scrub store and a Thai place. When we came, we didn't know if you came after 10:30, you have a $10cover charge for men or women. When I came last year right when they opened, they ever charged. But we sat down and we even got a chance to meet the owner and he let us have a section, food, and drinks complimentary! We were so grateful because we had blast!! Sometimes they have hookah which is a really nice touch !! The girls are pretty and they are so nice and helpful, the service is awesome. And the food omg the food is delicious! Caribbean and Jamaican feel to it. Come for the pool, and the drinks, hookah and pretty girls! Come before 10:30pm! It was fun! read more

Came on a Wednesday night. It was pretty dead and the bartender still wasn't very attentive. She was actually not friendly at all. Killed my vibe so I left. This place would've been cool. It has swings on one side of the bar. $5 don julio & paleta shots on Wednesday. However, Casa migos is overpriced, 1 shot was $13. On top of that they searched our bags which is fine but they wouldn't let my boyfriend in because he was wearing a white muscle shirt (because he gave me his tshirt to wear at the bar before). They bouncer wouldn't let us in until I gave him his shirt back? I don't know how it made a difference. But literally no one was there and we didn't even look gang affiliated at all. We also had about 8 to our party and no one else was was stopped even tho others had on white tshirts. I might give this place another try but hopefully different people are working. read more

Relocated here from Ct... (since we don't have a similar venue) I decided to stop by and Swing and drink. The bartender was knowledgeable and attentive. Sampler was good (loved the bourbon wings the most). Will definitely return. read more

Really enjoyed myself at this place! Great music, great food and an atmosphere filled with good energy. The service was great as well, I will be back soon! read more

When you go, get the wings and shrimp. You can thank me later because that food hit the spot.

Came here on a Sunday, nice vibe. Unfortunately they charged my card even though I closed out in cash. Nobody will answer the phone to reserve it. Even went up there and never got a call back after leaving my number for the gm. Shady practices. read more

Not safe. Vibes off. Instead of being a customer friendly place one has to worry about the Security guard looking for trouble & its surround elements. You can find good music, yet it's not worth losing your peace. If your 'bout that then this is your place read more

The BBQ wings are really good and a decent size. The service was great and the drinks were good.

We had a birthday celebration. Place was great. The vibe was a little young but we had an amazing time. The manager even though she seemed very young she was very professional made us feel very welcome. We don't go out much to these kind of places but we certainly did have a great time. The food was delicious and the staff there was wonderful. I can honestly see that it's just a reflection of management. read more

Service left a lot to be desired. Very loud music playing. Wings were good, but everything is was overpriced. Of the selections of draft beer 6 total they were out of 2. read more

Rude staff but good food. Highly recommend catfish. Unorganized as far as keeping up with who's tab is who's

Sooo.... yeah I'm what you might call a local here. Hard day of work? Swing by Temptations. Long week? Swing by Temptations. Wanna what a game at a local bar? Swing by Temptations. And when I say swing I mean it literally. They have a few swings hanging from the ceiling at the bar for you to sit in. Temptations is cool. If you wanna "party" go on a Friday or Saturday after 9. DJ normally stsrts about them and there is typically a cover after 10. Sometimes ladies are free. And I get asked this a lot... NO ITS NOT A STRIPCLUB. It's just a bar! They have food too! They now open as early as for lunch. Wings are good and street tacos are good. Honestly never tried anything else to eat. Drinks are strong! Waitress are cool. Best in Arlington! Period! read more

One of my ladies friends wanted to step out and someone told me about this place so off I Go.... I was a Good time Folks! Some of the lady Bartenders are more friendly than others one of them look me straight in the face twice and did not even acknowledge me at all. However I wont let that take away from the review because she had no CLASS!( No I did not bother to get her name but I know here when I see her). Moving on Brittny (Red) was very sweet she recommend the Buffalo wings to me which I found very tasty. I asked her about the happy hour they had during the week, she took her time to explain everything to me. She made me fell right out home. Red was accommodating to me and my friend the whole time I was there at the lounge. This place is had a good vibe plus they had Swings! I love it when they have swings at the bar. yes I am a kid at Heart. The price point was average, there was enough parking available, and the music was on point. If you are every in the area I would say check it out. I will be returning for a happy our soon myself! read more

Went on a Thursday night, the crowd was full of regulars and not packed at all. The swings at the bar are pretty neat. We ordered food and drinks while at the bar we had zero complaints. Bartender was attentive and took care of me and my guest. ***If I had to leave a suggestion, just get some new pool sticks.*** read more

Nice place to have after work drinks or if you want a low key not too crunk atmosphere. The drinks are decent and so is the food. read more

I was at this place to grab a bit to eat and enjoy hookah before I head to Atlanta. AS always I went online to see what they specials was which was $10 off hookah if you got food and drink with it! Sounded like a good deal plus it was happy Once I came in the dj was nice and very welcoming. As I sat at the bar ,which was plenty of room it is 6pm on a Sunday, the bartender was nice as well she recommended a lot of good food and drinks. After being told I had to walk to the hookah girl because she was busy taking selfies and talking to someone else who was not buying a hookah. I'm completely over this place and I really regret coming to this place the unhonored hookah they charged me 27.13 when online it said it was gonna be $15 if I got food and drinks. This didn't not set my mood for my 15 hour ride home. I didn't even really want to order any food because I thought it would be disappointing. I will not return here and I was looking at a home nearby. I don't like it here. A waste of my hard earned read more

I'm assuming they are under new management but the new bartenders are rude and they let certain people in for free.

The food was absolutely terrible. I went on a Saturday and we were required to purchase food with the purchase of drinks. They didn't have several things on their menu. Ended up getting hot wings they were terrible. Service was slow and terrible, they were out of several mixes and juices for drinks including pineapple juice. So when we asked for a Hennessy on the rocks our waitress came back 30 minutes later with a shot. To top it off we were charged $2 per cup for COVID. It wasn't packed at all but the service was slower than anywhere I've ever been during or pre Covid. Not to mention they had a bouncer who was a little too friendly and after I declined to give him a hug because I don't know him and COVID obviously, he proceeded run up the middle of my back to see if I had a bra on. I will never return here! read more

It's a nice establishment however don't forget your ID. They will take it until you pay with cash. I made a simple suggestion to the terribly dressed manager/owner whatever he would like to call himself. To make sure the waiters give back ID's. I paid I should not have to ask for it back. He had the audacity to tell me that it was my responsibility. No you shouldn't ask for people ID' s especially if you know they are going to purchase alcohol and think they are going to remember an ID. Clearly shows how you care about your customers. A simple apology and a reminder to the waitresses to return peoples property. They ain't gotta worry about me and I'll make sure to tell people to go somewhere you are not required to give up your ID as a form of payment. The icing on the cake was the jerk had the nerve to ask me if I wanted him to bow down to me lol. I expect nothing less from a man fri his culture. TRASH read more

This place is overrated. Went on a Saturday night crowd was ok, the dj sucked majorly, like who plays the dougie in 2019 LOL?! The drinks are over priced, like who charges you for the alcohol AND the juice for your cocktail unless you're at a BYOB?! Then to top it off this place is small, so when they made an announcement that they were now about to move all the chairs from the bar area was somewhat disappointing, especially since almost every where else in this place was roped off. Save yourself the trouble go some where else! read more

Andrea was our bartender on 08/04/2019 and she was so rude! She didn't even acknowledge us come up to the almost completely empty bar. She did however assist a few gentlemen that walked up after we had been sitting there for at least 10 minutes. We had to literally YELL at her to get her attention. She really rubbed us the wrong way. Then it felt like she was rushing me to pay when she took forever to even take our order! read more

This place is for OLD people. If you wanna be around uncles and daddies then this is your place. The .50 cent drinks are gross and the waitresses are drunk. I left with out a word because I was disgusted. The drink was not mixed, there was chunks of ice. . . I am not one to complain or even talk down but this just wasn't it. read more
