    The Hawk is my watering hole, just a 10 minute walk from home. My husband and I love coming here to shoot some pool. They have 2 bar-sized pool tables for $1 a game. Pool cues and tables aren't in the best conditions, but they work. Their signature cocktails are dangerously good and reasonably priced at $14. 2-3 drinks in and I'm stumbling home. Bartenders are always chill and quick to serve. Love when they have DJs. Their jukebox could use some updating of a wider selection of eclectic tunes. They have a decent amount of seating at the bar as well as a few booths and a couple tables. Cool wall paper decor and an old school photo booth for anyone wanting a memento.

    Be careful if ordering shots! Small parking lot not coming back. Bartender looked overwhelmed and short with costumers . Ok music

    We have arrived

    We walked here form the grasshopper which was only a few blocks down. The area can be a bit seedy but not too bad. The bar itself was pretty packed, more than we anticipated so know that this local dive gets pretty social. It's def not quiet it was a rocker vibe that night. Plenty of people playing pool and large groups of people hanging. It felt super local but also a scene of sorts. I didn't try food so I can't comment on that. All in all great place if you're in the mood to be around a lot of people drinking heavy hahha!! Good times

    First time here! Its like this awesome dive bar but with amazing cocktails! Very clean, perfect vibe on a Saturday! Malcolm was our bartender and he was on point with her recommendations and service was top notch ! Makes you feel at home!

    Such a fun local bar! The drinks are delicious and the service is great. I'm a sucker for a good photo booth and they have a vintage one so I want to spend all my nights out here. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

    happy hour is back!

    Well things certainly change! Though not in terms of the quality or the vibe of the place, just in terms of happy hours, mainly. I just re-read my previous review and noticed, not only did I mention the happy hour here didn't include their specialty cocktails, which now that they finally reopened for on-premise drinking a few weeks ago, it absolutely currently does (yay!)... but I also mentioned The Harbor, a bar that used to be good (zero of the great bartenders from when it used to be good are still there, and they slashed their happy hour, too!) So I no longer have *any* complaints about this bar (other than that it's a little far of a walk from me, and in a *slightly* sketchy part of town at night. Though neither of those things are going to stop me from coming here all the time anyway.) I'd been supporting them with the occasional takeout cocktail through covid, but I was extremely happy when they reopened, both for them, and cause it's nicer buying *one* cocktail at a time (and it's just so great being able to sit at the bar again!) I still slightly prefer the similar-but-slightly-quieter vibe at Darlings (same owners, not *currently* reopened since covid shut things down), but the vibe here is great too. What I said in 2019 is still true, it's absolutely trying to be a bit of everything for everyone - it *feels* like a dive bar, but it's clean, the bar area's nice, and they've got great cocktails and some great spirits! At normal price, everything's pretty reasonably priced. For happy hour, I believe until 7 (which they *are* still doing as far as I know), certain classic cocktails are pretty cheap (I got a solid $8 watermelon margarita last time), basic wells and some basic beers are *super* cheap if that's what you're looking for, and all their fancier cocktails (what *I'm* there for!) are now $2 off. All the cocktails I've tried from them, both pre-covid, through covid with their takeout program, and when I was back a few weeks ago to celebrate their reopening, have been great. The cocktail menu here is always fun and always changing, but the off-menu cocktails I've had here (when they aren't as busy) have been great too. All their bartenders, at least as far as I've met so far, have been great, the sort you could trust with wacky requests, haha. The other parts of my previous review are still pretty accurate - it's the sort of place where the vibe changes completely from calm in the afternoon to busy later, and that they have a handful of craft beers at pretty reasonable prices, and a few token wines, but it's mainly a bar where you either go to drink cheap boring beer (:p), or great cocktails. p.s. it also took me way too long to discover, there's a great taco stand in the parking lot across the street, that sells great al pastor tacos, which, since The Hawk doesn't have its own kitchen, you can and absolutely should get some of and take them back here to have with a mezcal cocktail! One of my favorite new combos! (And possibly what I've just decided I'm going to go back and do again tonight, haha.)

    The friendliness of the staff is above any that I have ever came across. From the doorman to the bartenders and the owners. It's like walking into cheer's where everyone knows you're name and if they didn't, they will by the time you leave. Every week is a nother DJ spinning records from hip-hop to dark goth to heavy metal and on to Latino music. But let's not forget about the very humorous and comical Shit Show Bingo twice a month and go figure it's Free to play. Just like every Monday is Free pool and there's two tables to choose from. Plus once a month for those who like a live jazz band they have them as well. It's a great place where you are safe due to the doorman who doesn't miss a thing and the exceptional drinks that you won't find anywhere else. Go give it a try and trust me. You'll be back again and again and get this. They are pet friendly and your even allowed to bring dinner in.

    They nailed it once again. The liquid Thanksgiving was so fun and utterly amazing we had to do the 12 Drunks of Christmas too! We knew it was going to be magical when Santa delivered our box of cocktails to our car. But it didn't stop there. The attention to detail with all the instructions and garnishes were once again impeccable. Everything has blown us away and exceeded all expectations. I can't wait to see what's up their sleeve next and regret only discovering this bar during the pandemic. I hope to celebrate there when this is all over! Bravo!!

    I reread the description. I was mistaken. BF and I thought we were going to a chill cocktail bar. It was loud. We couldn't hear eachother in there. They had a dj. We arrived at round 9:30p on a Saturday. I got dirty laundry and bf got the margarita. Bomb drinks and great price! We'll be coming back. We were celebrating our anniversary. So this spot wasn't the vibe for tonight. But for sure for another night out. Check them out!!!

    To go cocktails - DELICIOUS (2 of these pouches were only $10!)

    The Hawk had to really adapt to COVID times and I think they have adapted well by offering to-go cocktail options and pizza from 4th Horseman. Ordering online was easy for Friday (4-6PM) or Saturday pick up, however you have to order before 10AM Saturday to pick up between 12-4PM. Pick up was also easy! You can see their weekly offerings on their Instagram. The options we picked up at the time included: Midori Sour, Fresh Mango Margarita, and Cactus Rose. I only tried midori sour and cactus rose, both were delicious! Midori sour was frozen and put in two to go bags, just like an adult caprisun. Cactus rose came in a glass jar with a cute label, which was perfect to pour out into your own cups. My friends loved the mango margarita! Be sure to pour over ice because they are flavorful if ya know what I mean. Highly recommend for delicious to-go cocktails. Will be back to support my local bar and especially when they are able to safely reopen!

    When my friends Steph H. and Norman T. recommend a bar, you listen. When they invite you to a happy hour where their friend is spinning yacht rock, you must go. That was the situation that my wife and I were in a couple of weeks ago. We found a space in The Hawk's small parking lot, which I took as a good omen. They had the Dodgers on the TV's, playing my Phillies, no less. Early Sunday afternoons are for day drinking specials, and I settled on a Bloody Mary. Tastefully prepared without a lot of extraneous nonsense, and they are even vegan! I didn't ask, but I may have gotten a full day's supply of Vitamin C (I did have more than one). The bloodys and the tunes (courtesy of Twin Harbors) made for a great afternoon. Eventually I got hungry, so I went outside to check out the vendor who had his grill fired up. He was mostly serving meat products so I went for a grilled cheese sandwich which hit the spot. Follow The Hawk on Instagram and Facebook for details like which food truck will be there, what happy hour specials will be going on, and what entertainment will be featured. Ah, yes, the "official" happy hour specials are listed below for your convenience. The ballgame was over by then, but I was in the mood for a ballpark beer, and they had Busch on tap. Don't worry, they have good beers, too, but I think Busch is their designated happy hour beer. I got a sip of my wife's old fashioned, and it was good and strong. I think that's the happy hour drink of choice here. Jameson the cat made an appearance. He is the resident celebrity. If you are lucky, he will let you pet him, but good luck getting a pic! The Hawk seems to attract an eclectic crowd where everyone fits in. They are "hip" without being hipster. The bartenders are cool and friendly. One of my measuring sticks for a good bar is their jukebox, and The Hawk has one that meets with my approval. Thanks, Steph and Norman! I hope to make it up to The Hawk again soon.

Definitely worth it! The vibes are unmatched. It's a unique blend of "top notch cocktail crafting" and "beer and a hot pretzel after work." You can dress up, you can dress down, it's very 'just be yourself' which I love. I've literally had caviar AND hot dogs there in the same night at an event. They know how to blend high/low. Incredible knowledge and ingredients but not snooty patootie. Super inclusive and fun, with cool popups and events happening all the time. It's a full bar so you can get any cocktail you would normally order if you're keeping it simple, or beer, wine, boilermakers, etc. There's a span of offerings and price points, so something for everyone. (Also really good N/A cocktails!) The menu is super inventive and creative! And the cocktail menu changes out every so often so there are new things to try. This area is vintage vibes and Baby Gee speaks it fluently. Really cool decor, curated by the owners who design everything from the playlist to the cocktails to the invention of never-before-seen flavors and shapes of jello shots. Try the Baby Gee appletini while you're there. Mezcal, tequila, sake appletini you ask?? Yes. Trust. And get a hot dog. Do it.

It's clear the owners put a lot of thought and creativity into making their cocktails the centerpiece of the experience. That said, the execution didn't live up to the concept. The menu appears to rotate regularly, and while the drinks were certainly unique, most of the cocktails we tried were hit or miss. At roughly $22 per drink, I expected more balance and refinement. One cocktail started with flavors reminiscent of an Old Fashioned, but after the initial sip, the combination of bitters and fruit syrups created an unpleasant cough syrup like finish. We tried a mocktail as well, and it was mostly ice and soda water, with what seemed like a collection of syrups doing most of the heavy lifting. The drinks were creative, but many of the flavor profiles felt disjointed rather than intentional. The biggest issue, however, was the bar service and sanitation practices. I watched a bartender place a cucumber garnish into a glass using his bare hands, touching the entire garnish in the process. He then continued to take credit cards, cash, and other items before stuffing ice into additional drinks with his bare hands. Whether or not this technically violates health code standards, it certainly wasn't appetizing to watch and left a poor impression. Parking is another challenge. There is no dedicated parking, and unless you get lucky, expect to park several blocks away and walk. Overall, the atmosphere is a lot of fun and the cocktail menu is ambitious, but the drinks didn't justify the price point, and the sanitation concerns were hard to overlook. I wouldn't rush back, especially given the cost and parking difficulties.

We parked in the multi-story parking garage behind Hamburger Mary's. Secret Island is a little over a block away. You can make reservations on OpenTable. It has a bit of a speakeasy entrance, as it is not plainly marked. Look for the staircase going down with greenery around it and the Secret Island sign downstairs. Go right at the bottom of the stairs and there is a little walkway where you see a very cool tiki display. It you stay there long enough, the lights will flash and you will hear thunder. Walk a little further and go through the door to enter. I was blown away by the atmosphere and build. Kudos to Bamboo Ben! It is dimly lit with a ton of cave wall, bamboo, thatch, netting, tiki lights, floats, skulls, tikis, and other décor. The bar is loaded with bottles and looks great with dark blue and green backlighting. The bar top is wood with deep cutouts that are filled with clear epoxy. The booths in the main dining area are little tiki huts and even have clouds overhead. There was great tiki music playing the whole time. A few times an hour a thunderstorm hits. The lights dim, lightning flashes with thunder sound effects, and red lights illuminate cracks in the floor that looks like lava veins. There is also a photo-op "Pele's Throne" which is a big lava rock surrounded chair. We sat at the bar and had the coconut shrimp appetizer ($12). The shrimp were breaded and cooked well, and had a coconut sprinkle on top. The spicy dipping sauce complemented the shrimp well. I started out with the Drunken Monkey (Makers Mark 46, Jamaican rum, banana liqueur, cinnamon, allspice, Angostura bitters, normally $19, $17 during happy hour). It was somewhat bourbon forward with a little funk from the Jamaican rum. I definitely got the cinnamon notes with a little banana and allspice in the background. She started out with the El Capitan Hook (Del Maguey mezcal, pineapple, banana liqueur, Luxardo cherry liqueur, lime, $17, $15 during happy hour). This was smoke forward with light pineapple and banana flavor. I had the Hula burger ($18) which was very good with a lot of different flavors from the various toppings. It came with a decent amount of fries, and was a filling plate. She had the pineapple bowl fried rice and added with BBQ pork ($17 + $5 for pork add-on). It is served in half of a scooped out pineapple and had a good amount of rice with pork and green onions on top. It had a good mix of teriyaki sauce on the rice and BBQ sauce on the pork. Next, I had the Rum Runner (coconut and blended dark rums, banana liqueur, raspberry, grenadine, pineapple, orange, lime, $18, $15 during happy hour). It was very pineapple and coconut forward which overpowered all of the other ingredients. She also had the Let That ManGo (white rhum agricole, coconut, mango, lemon, $18, $16 during happy hour). The primary flavors here were mango with some grassiness from the agricole. We were here from about 6pm to 8pm on a Wednesday night and it was pretty dead with only a few other people in the place the whole time. They do have a stage in the back with live music acts, so it is probably busier when there is entertainment and on weekends. Our first bartender was Alex who was nice but we barely talked with him. Manager Pedro took over the bartender duties later on and we had a great time chatting with him. Service was great from both of them. The drinks are a few dollars above average, but if you come during happy hour, the drinks are several dollars off. Happy hour is currently all day Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday, and Thursday through Saturday from 5pm to 8pm. The food was good, the drinks were ok to good, and the atmosphere was great. Normally, this would probably be a one and done, but I really liked the build and would like to come back when it is busier, maybe on a weekend.

We only stayed for one drink, and they're all $20 each. Trying to cocktails was nice. I definitely recommend heading to the other tiki bar in Long Beach - better crowd - better service - welcoming.

Before we get off track, let's get back to my opening line; when my life is in shambles, I come to V Room. It's fun, it has great music and things just don't feel as bad here. My last venture to ye olde V, my roommate broke up a fight in the girls room, my friends and I drunkenly sang along to Iggy Pop, and a hipster girl was hoisted out by the straps of her 90s era child's backpack. So, all things considered, my life may be in shambles, but at least I'm not brawling in the girls room. The drinks rule and the bartenders are the BEST.

    The little red head behind the bar should not be a bartender. Her attitude is the definition of an…read moreentitled little brat. Acts as if you're the issue for coming to have a drink at "A BAR" . Eye rolls whenever anything was asked for. Went to pay & when the " tip" wasn't up to her par , she made the comment under her breath " why even **** come out cheap f**k?" Why even be a bartender if you're not going to provide a service. You don't get a tip for being terrible at your job. That's not how this works. Management will probably read this & brush it off because she'll have a lame excuse like we were the problem or needy. Nope. She is the problem. Even the regulars mentioned they can't stand when she bartends because her attitude is so terrible. Fix your system please. Get better people.

    This restaraunt Is actually agaves. I'm sure they named this next door since agaves has a pretty…read morelow rating. Sad to say the ratings for agaves are about on par for this place too. Our service was very slow and the drinks took a very long time to come out. We were some of the only people in the restaurant, so I can't blame it on being very busy. My girlfriend ordered a mojito and it tasted more like a margarita than anything. Our appetizer was okay but for the price you pay you don't get much. My burrito was decent, nothing to write home about. But you could definitely get a better one in Long Beach for $5 cheaper. My girlfriend ordered a salmon special which was about $30. I've never had a more overcooked piece of fish in my life. When the server asked how our food was I informed her the food was extremely overcooked. She didn't seem to care and there was no offer to find some kind of solution. I wasn't expecting a comped dish or anything special, but a little acknowledgement would have been appreciated. I wouldn't reccomend this place but if you're going to the club there and want food I guess this could be a decent option.

    Solidly okay mexican food, I've had better, and I've had worse. The steak in the fajitas was really…read moresoft, but I don't remember anything else being remarkable. The building didn't say "Next Door" anywhere on it, so I was unsure if we were at the right place.

    An awesome dive bar with good food served late (until 1am). I'm always here for their cheap drinks…read moreand chill vibe, but I also love the food from Sideburns that they serve. I got the Backyard BBQ burger with tater tots and the Bacon Bleu burger with fries.  Backyard BBQ burger - the onion rings at Sideburns are some of the best in the game, so this was obviously stellar. An indulgent bite and they don't skimp on the bacon or onion rings either. Bacon Bleu burger - this was loaded with bleu cheese! I thought it was awesome, but my friends definitely thought it was a little too much to handle. Definitely order if you love bleu cheese. It was perfectly balanced by the sweet strawberry jam and peppery arugula. If you're looking to cure your hangover before it even starts, head to the Stache. The vibe is chill, with good bartenders and a good movie playing on the projector every night. Food is awesome and served late, which we all know is a rarity around here.

    Food : A+ We L-O-V-E the food here! The poutine burger is my…read morego to (pictured below) and my hubby orders to Double Smash. The fries and poutine fries are as good as regular potato fries come. The cheese curds are the best I've ever had. Service: A Their customer service is good. They've messed up a couple of times on our order and they always correct it. When I ordered " The Poutine " she thought I ordered the poutine fries so she let us keep the fries and ordered The Poutine Burger for me. Next time I'll make sure to say " burger " to respect their food costs and bottom line. But maybe we will just order the Poutine fries too because now we know how delicious they are as well. Ambience: B Is chill. Dark and they will put the game on for you. It's a Greenbay Packer bar hence the B rating instead of A since we're Detroit Lions fans ;D
