Title: Strong Pour, Stronger Spirit…read more The Running Iron pours more than just great drinks...it pours atmosphere. From the moment we stepped in, we felt the spirit of the place: real, rugged, and full of warmth. The staff was quick, the energy upbeat but never overwhelming. It's a place where locals mingle and newcomers are welcomed without question. There is something honest about this spot, like it knows who it is, and lets you be who you are. Just what we needed after Karaoke Night.

Hi there, Bernard here. A few months ago, me and my family spent our entire night experiencing the…read morerich Mariposa culture inside the Hideout Saloon, and lucky us! It was karaoke night. We got to sing my son, Jombo's, favorite song, Drinking Problem by Midland. He is only 12 but already has the beautiful voice of an angel! The service in this wonderful establishment reminded me of the warm welcome feeling of when my Peepaw would make his signature grilled whiskey chicken recipe. Mariposa made me see California in a new light! As a native Iowa man, I have only seen the soft pudgy side of California, but the Hideout Saloon really is a place to go when you need to get your spark back in life. Have a beautiful day! Shalom!

Service: very friendly. We met both the owners & the cook. They made us feel so welcome…read more Food: excellent Best cod tacos I've ever had (special of the day). Their Loaded Not-choz was so big, three people can share & have their fill. The tri-tip, which we added was delicious - having the smokey flavor. A must try! The cook recommends to have us try the French Dip next time we stop by. We can't wait! If you are on your way to Yosemite, stop by in Mariposa & try this place. You won't regret it.

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.

Knocked off one star due to drinks. I'm not in my 20's where I can welcome any drink to get drunk…read more My pallet is a bit more refined (lol not really), but I can appreciate this bar. The bartender was nice and attentive, the people sitting at the bar were welcoming. You never know what you're going to face especially nowadays but I didn't sense danger at all here. It's a cute bar with a sense of camaraderie. I'll definitely be back to chill and I'll ask for the types of beer they have next time.

And I say that with all…read moredue respect as it's cool to be a dive bar:) located in Mchenry Village... it offers pool tables, a dart board, dice and a modern jukebox! I can not believe I've never had a PBR until coming here. It's my new favorite water beer. The coldest tall can w/chilled glass for only $3. Or, if you prefer, get it on tap. it's perfect for a hot day or if you want to hang out for a while & talk with the regulars. 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:)

Super expensive with terrible drinks that tasted nothing like how they normally should. Service was unbelievably slow, unprofessional, and it took two guys with nothing to do to make three unbelievably overpriced drinks in incredibly cheap plastic cups with ice that tasted like wood chips. While the ambiance and atmosphere of this place is pretty good, that's where it stops for the most part. The music selection system is not intuitive at all and god help you if you drink enough to enjoy yourself because you WILL NOT understand the system after a while. In good faith I can't rate this place very well and that's a shame because it does have the potential to be really cool; the biggest hurdle is the terrible device and assistance. If they put as much effort into the staff/service as they do the room layout and high drink prices it would be so much better. Because of how weird the staff vibe was my friends kept making jokes that this place must be made for money laundering lmao EDIT: HOLY SHIT down to one star from two; the final fees were insane. Not only did the staff purposely not notify us about going over time, but they charged additionally by the minute. $109 for less than two hours and that doesn't even include the $50 for the three absolutely terrible drinks. Even checkout was bad as the two staff kept looking at us like we're trying to steal something or leave without paying the bill. The entire vibe was awful on our way out as the staff mumbled at us and refused to make eye contact. Legitimately terrible at the end.

We had fun, we reserved the medium room which accommodates upto 8 people…read more They allowed us to bring pizza but charged $10 each pizza. We brought Costco pizzas. This pitcher of soda was around $20 Pitcher of water -free. They charged cleaning fee of 18% It was pricey but it was worth it because the area is safe and the place was clean. It was easy to operate their sound system, Walter the staff taught us. You have to prepare the songs you want to sing to enter to the karaoke sound system. Lots of parking and restaurants around the place. We didn't order food so I don't know about their food, but they only have snacks.
