Really upscale and laidback. great for a date or a get together for friends who are relaxed by default. the live music isn't distracting and the drinks are strong. Just an overall awesome place. read more

The DJ sucks here plays 2003-2007 music. Literally remember listening to all the songs he plays on the school bus! Cool spot but DJ TEASE needs to GO or get new music. read more

Cassandra? What a joke? This bar needs training on so many levels. If you want a place that is professional, don't go here.

My husband and and I love this place, however Saturday night we were with a group of people out for my husbands birthday and one of the guys in our group did not have a collard shirt on, he still looked very presentable. As we are waiting in front of the Boardroom deciding where to go 2 girls walk out with sneakers, cut off shorts and wife beaters...I mean really??? They looked so trashy...the bouncers said girls can get in wearing pretty much anything...really??? SMH come on boardroom you are better than that! read more

This place was the happening bar for professionals. They have since removed the dress code or significantly relaxed it. I would recommend coming here after dinner before going out for the evening. read more

Open and classy interior. Collared shirt required. Ice cold beer, great tap items. Nice people.

Jessica is an absolute sweetie... have her make you a Gin Manhattan :) .... I must say .. not impressed with the food... we ordered cheese fondue ( how hard is that ) it came cold and with a little hard layer on top ... the cheese was barely warm so the cheese was kinda clumpy .. sent it back to heat up again .. and it came back out the same.. like they didnt do anything to it... But the drinks were good and Jessica was engaging and fun.... read more

Because Fat Tuesday was lame, we ended up at the Boardroom. Neil and Matt's music is always a listen. The thing is this is just a clean and classy spot. I am sure sometime in the future, I will go back. The food is not to bad either. read more

This place made me laugh the other night!!! What a joke! Anyways i went out last Friday for a drink and at the door the "bouncer" refused to let my friend in because his shirt did not have a collar ?? So we were like ok whatever,I was kind of glad we didn't go in because this place is way overrated. As we turn to leave my friend points out to the door guy that guy sitting at the bar doesn't have a collared shirt on and the door guy responds that there is no dress code before 10pm?? Lol it's either you have a dress code or you don't! FYI we are not gang bangers nor do we look like them. So we took our business to Donoby's and had a better time and the people there seem to be having a better time. Sorry Boring Room we will never go back or recommend this place to anyone. read more

Ok, call it lack of experience which led to higher expectations of this place but i was completely underwhelmed. Looking for a cool spot to catch up with a friend over martinis and decided to give Boardroom a try because of the rave reviews of being upscale and classy. I was even excited about the dress code others were lamenting about! Boardroom did not offer up anything exceptional to be called classy. It's really just another bar with the routine bar hoppers with maybe better seating options. What earned the two stars was the really nice waitress (who took the bruschetta off our bill because we didn't touch it after two bites, also a yelp mislead) and the live music by Johnny & Kelly. read more

Great place, loved going after work when I used to work in downtown Modesto. I don't get to go as often but still a great place every time. The manager is awesome, always super friendly when I go in there with friends. read more

Nice atmosphere, not many gangsters and friendly staff. One star due to owner making us leave a table we had been at for two hours buying drinks due to people "buying bottles." Basically kicking us out so others spending more money could have our seats. Very very poor customer service buy the owner in my opinion. read more

Really cool place to go have drinks. Venue is very cool looking and fun environment to be in! Drinks were an A+. Bartender is a crowd pleaser! My friends and I had an awesome time here for a night off of work! read more

Love love love ! Good music ! Good people! Good atmosphere! Amazing Mascoto. The vibe is very friendly-

Delicious food and good drinks... great ambiance. Can be a little pricy, but nothing too crazy.

Been here a few times since I've moved to Modesto. The best nights are Fridays and Saturdays if you want a crowd. I've been here on weekdays just to relax and there is live singing which I'm always fond of... unless it's screeching heavy metal. read more

Beautiful women. Beautiful men. The dj is working the crowd. The first time I came was awesome. Liquor selection was wide open. I would definitely come back. read more

My husband and I went there two weeks ago...we needed time for us like old times (we have a 4 1/2 month baby girl). The place is awesome and the drinks the best!! We asked for some food and it was delicious!!!! My husband asked for a drink with tequila and the bartender made it sooooo delicious!!' I really don't like tequila but this one was excellent!! Definitely we will go again to this place and stay longer :) read more

The atmosphere was pretty nice, and the bartenders were amazing and we're aware of their surroundings, didn't have to wait 10 years for a drink, only big issue I have with this place was the music was out to date... Decent selection of 2000s hip hop/R&B, but wouldn't hurt to play something more recent with some bass to it, but I guess it's understandable since the crowd was more in the upper 20s/30s. Definitely open upstairs to the public to make more room to create the lounge feeling. read more

I was recently invited to the grand opening of The Boardroom in downtown Modesto on 1/29/11. This new bar/lounge blows any other downtown establishment out of the water. Great bartenders, classy decor, uptown music followed by a live band, awesome drink selections and a respectable crowd were prominent features on opening night. I was able to sample an old fashioned (old school cocktail), margarita on the rocks and a Great White on draft with friends while chatting and listening to great tunes. I look forward to coming back on my next break from school. The Boardroom rocks! read more

I have been here several times. The bartenders are always excellent: Ask for Fawn, Madison, or Roberto for the best service. Weekends nights have DJ and busy club crowd after 10. Drink are excellent, extra care given to fancy, artistic cocktails. Not overpriced. A great place for music and cocktails. Small bar menu. read more

They have a decent choice of beer that's on tap. Large selection of liquor and an array of options for different tastes. Didn't try the menu as it doesn't cater to gluten free meals. read more

Great place to have a few drinks with the buds. More of an upperclass bar that doesn't attract the negative people that most of the DT area places attract. read more

Went in over the holidays to hear live music & talk to people. The DJ was too loud. Bring the band back 9-11 DJ 11-close? I really like this place but would rather have the band read more

Just came to have a beer. Sat at the bar for 10 minutes finally a man came up and served the people standing behind me that just walked up. He noticed my $20 bill but ignored me. Never go back!! read more

If I could give them no stars I would. We came to have a good night but even thought my bf had proof he was over the age of 21 the security gaurd wouldn't let him in. He had an id. It was expired but he had the papers for his new one and he said no he wouldnt let him in.its cool though whatever tiki took our money. U guys suck!lost out on good money! Good job looking business. When my bf asked to talk to the security guards manager he said no and that his manager was working. Um DUH!what an idiot. U can blame him for losing money. Never trying to go to that lame place again read more

Horrible service. The 2 jerks at the bar spent a lot of time chatting with their beer-swilling buddies and each other. Hey guys, your number 1 priority is to provide drinks and food to your paying customers. Even when I went to the bar to try to pay my bill, I was ignored. They were too busy laughing with each other. Personally, I would fire all the wait/bar staff and just start all over. How tough is it to serve beer, bottled wine, and well drinks to patrons with obviously empty glasses? Too tough for this bunch, obviously. I just read the other Yelp reviews, and I had to laugh/groan. So *this* is supposed to be the fancy, sophisticated place in Modest, with snooty, well-dressed clientele? My god, if you are young and have any chance of a job elsewhere, get out of Modesto. read more

Great atmosphere, I really enjoy the bartenders and the music! They throw wonderful events. the music and DJ's are always professional and sound great. Monday Night Karaoke is the best, great selction of music. The food is wonderful and the patrons are amazing! I lvoe this place! read more

Met a friend here for a quiet drink on a weeknight. What a nice environment. Oh and they had my favorite wine by the glass...,which never happens...I would return. read more

I was after reading the other reviews, expecting something elegant and sophisticated, coupled with dancing. Alas none of these came to be. Instead what i saw was a pretentious snob ridden bar with pricey drinks. This is the perfect place for those who have the depth of a tea saucer. Dance area....the perfect commercial for that was the one; 'where's the beef'. This is dancing in the aisles amid people trying to get by to go to the bathroom. The band plays on a small balcony on a balconyr above the lower bar floor, looking down on those below. NO one but the band is allowed on the balcony, nor is there room for anyone else anyway. The band-in-the-sky aspect then distances any dancer from the band, a great disconnect. The place is as such; a disconnect from anything resembling style or class. . read more

FINALLY, a bar in Downtown Motown that isn't packed wall-to-wall with 'roid shooting Jersey Shore casting call rejects and their low-self-esteem human punching bag girlfriends. It has the most impressive selction of imports and microbrews.....some of them on tap. This place is HEAVEN for those of us who actually appreciate real beer (pardon the digression, but most Modestans think that there are only two kinds of beer: domestic swill and light domestic swill. This is sometimes reflected in the beer selections of many local establishments.) The decor is very hip and modern while at the same time trying to evoke the Rat Pack era of the early '60s. The wait staff is very friendly and professional and the crowd is sophisticated and intelligent. To those of you who complain about the dress code and about the crowd being "snobby" there are plenty of ghetto, lowbrow establishments (ie Donoby's, White Hawk, O'Brian's, Club Suave......oh, wait, that place got shut down) for you to go to. The Boardroon is for those of us who like having a good drink while listening to good music and being surrounded by good people. read more

These guys are Hella shady. They charge different amounts all night for same drink. I was drinking Cadillac Margherita with Don julio aneijo for $17-$19 all night and shots of Don julio aneijo for 15-18. Which is ridiculous. Then they ran out of anjieo and said only had repasado. Than tried to charge me $18 for repasado?!?!?!! I told them been charging me me 16 max for anjieo all night. How is repasado more??? Hella shady!!!! read more

Very nice place to go for a drink and enjoy the company of whoever you are going with. Clean, fast service, and a fun atmosphere. The crowd is of an older age, but if you don't want to be around ghetto people this is your get away. It cracks me up that people freak out and don't like the "no collar shit" rule. Plenty of other places to go in town without that rule. I enjoy it because it gives me an excuse to dress nice in a nice environment. Sean is the manager there and he is literally one of the only reasons we go in. HE has been so great to me and my boyfriend, and has taken such good care of us! Keep it classy modesto read more

Security at this place is ridiculous. Whoever is in charge of security should think about repeat customers and the way they treat their customers. This was my first and last time here and I recommend people find another place to go for drinks. Service was terrible and security was even worse. Abuse of authority at its finest. read more

This place isn't bad drinks are pretty good nice variety of music but what I really disliked was the Caucasian security at the front door. My friend and I gave him our IDs and neither one of us is from here and we don't have California IDs. I'm African American and she's Caucasian, she handed him her ID first then I did and he asked me how long had I been in Modesto and said I'm supposed to have a California ID. Why would he ask just me that and not both of us. I was a little put off by this and it ruined the beginning part of my night. read more

I recently just celebrated my 30th birthday here Friday 11/09/2018. I am very disappointed! I had reserved this a month ago and spoke to 2 employees prior so i can make sure i wanted to have it there and they both informed me that bottle service upstairs would be 2 bottles for 300 and that to have it upstairs you have to spend 500 and that service would be included. so that means 2 bottles and 200 spent in cocktails or beer. I felt this was a little too much but okay, fine ill go for it! As soon as i get there i get 2 bottles and i am being charged 700 as i just explained to the server girl what the deal was before she brought the bottles. NOW that she opened the bottles it cant be taken back !?!? did you not just hear what i said? so now i am asking to talk to the manager who then says he has NO time to talk to me that he is busy !? I am sorry but any one spending that amount of money you should make the time to talk to them!!!! this place was not accommodating at all and i never got to speak with any one i just kept getting hassled to pay for something completely different i didn't agree to. This is not San Francisco, nor L.A. or Vegas my point is this is downtown Modesto get it together! I do not recommend anyone to spend their money on bottle service here total rip off. read more

Always have a good time here! Good music. Drinks are well made. Friendly staff. Never had drama. It is a bit hard to find a place to sit, get super crowded. But not too many places that have this kind of nicer dress code/good fun atmosphere to choose from. I have been here twice. One thing is they may need to invest in better bathroom doors. You can walk in and see girls trying to hold their door and pee! I always try to help out and hold the door for them! Anyhow not a lot of cons. I will be back read more

Being new to the area, young and enjoy the occasional drink or two, my fiance and I caught wind of this place thru the grapevine and decided to try it out. First of all from the outside it looked really inviting. There is a dress code, nothing crazy. Just don't roll out of bed and try to come in lol. But once we walked in..not at all what I expected. First of all beautiful atmosphere, loved the lighting and of course sports..my fiance always needs a game nearby. I didn't have the pleasure of grabbing a bight, we had already had dinner. But food looked good and nice menu selection. The waitress was very pleasant and attentive. I will say what had me hooked was the live band. They played a awesome mix of things from 311 to Frank Ocean. I consider myself a music lover from every genre!! So that was a very pleasant surprise. Would definitely do another date night here. Clean restrooms to top it off. Can't ask for more can you? read more

For being my first time here it wasn't that bad. My friends and I came on a Friday night, arrived there around 9:30 and it was dead. We ended up leaving and coming back around almost 11 and then it was full of people. It's a really nice place but it is a bit small so it gets crowded. The bartenders are really nice and the drinks are good. They have a DJ (although I'm not sure if it's the same one they have every night) and he mixed different kinds of music. I believe it might be dress code as well. Overall it's a pretty cool bar, I would go again. :) read more

If only there was a 0 stars option. I mainly give this review because of how lame the security guard is. I was with a group of friends and I stepped out for a minute and then he wouldn't let me back in even though I told him that my group of friends were in there. So instead, they all had to leave since I couldn't get in. read more
