    Hendricks dirty martini

    I really like this place. I tend to stop here whenever I'm going downtown with my husband or have a girls night. I love that they usually have Hendricks in stock and they make a good dirty martini. The live music is a vibe and the atmosphere is fun and go. The only thing is that I wish the martini glasses weren't plastic.

    The Vault

    Perfect little local bar to grab a drink. Bartenders are always friendly and have awesome suggestions if you're ever wanting to try a new drink but don't know what to order. They host a lot of themed nights and events, that they regularly post on their Instagram, which is great for when I'm in the mood to go out on a weeknight (:

    I always liked The Vault. One reason is because of the winding labyrinth-like alley out back evokes memories of medieval streets in France or Italy, just scaled down 99% or so. Cocktails here are the preferred drink and I suppose which bartender you score and how busy it is can play into the equation. Just don't ask for a fucking Mojito! I'm not joking about that! They're a bitch to make and unless they specialize in Cuban cocktails (like Habana in Costa Mesa) you will probably be disappointed and have a pissed off bartender. Heed the sign out front: don't be a douche and order a Mojito! That said, this isn't on the same level as an LA whiskey bar, but $2 Tuesdays draws the younger college crowd. It gets packed quickly after 10pm so beware. I visited The Vault recently after a long sabbatical with my youngest sister who is now 21 (yay). We had a couple of Moscow Mules ($3 for those) and enjoyed the brief time we had stools to sit on in the back alley. A pleasant but sticky evening, be aware the inside is not air conditioned. All-in-all, a great night and ok for the lowered priced drinks.

    This is the angry face of a worker there trying to break my phone after he walked in on my girlfriend in the restroom

    This was one of my favorite places until this gentleman walked into the restroom while my girlfriend was using it. He claimed to be the manager and said it was her fault for not locking the door. Once I started filming him he took a swing at my phone and said he would f****** break it. He walked away and got security they said it was his last chance and understood why we were so upset. Customers shouldn't be treated like that especially when they feel like they have been violated

    Always appreciate cheap drinks but maybe in this case it's because there's so much ice in them lol
    Amihan A.

    I bought my friends 5 mixed drinks and the total came out to $35 plus tip. I bought three shots and it came out to $30 with tip. The drinks are dirt cheap but the only downside is how much ice they put in the drink. Literally. So. Much. Ice. Decent outdoor bar. It can get a little cold but they have heaters to keep you warm. The music playing was suitable for a Friday night out with friends. Also did not understand why there was only one bathroom. The line went down the stairs and was a long wait just to get in.

    Gotta love this swanky little bar in the I.E. It's one of the best bars out in this area. When you walk into the main entrance, the lights are dim and your eyes are attracted to the vintage decor. You walk to the bar and order one of their tasty martinis for only $7! I love their banana martini even though I tend to dislike anything banana flavored, After you grab a martini, you walk down a few steps into the next room. You get a sense of being in some type of underground alley. There is always music playing and a crazy light show flashing on the brick walls. This is a great place to just go and chill or to have a crazy night out with friends.

    The Vault is one of those unique places everyone wishes they had in their local bar scenes. This ultra cool venue holds rich artistic vibes that would give any musically inclined soul inspiration. The best part about the place in my book is the live music on Saturdays, and wicked good cocktails on any day. The closed alley between buildings offers a perfect setting to host local bands and other acts. The little bit of seating offered in that area doesn't seem to faze onlookers. Only thing awkward about the setup is that the bathrooms are located right off the side of the stage area. I can't recall the cocktails that my boyfriend and I got that night, but whatever the bartender recommended was on point. Sweet, fruity, and fun to look at. If I'm ever back in town on a Saturday, I'll definitely swing by for another good night of fun, drinks, and live music.

    Part 2 of last night's date night was around the corner at Copehouse Bar. It had started raining,…read moreso we were grateful for the short walk to arrive. We seated ourselves at our favorite raised table in the corner on the far side of the bar. My husband and I stuck to traditional cocktails, and old fashioned and a Negroni. Our friends chose signature cocktails: the Turbo Granny and the Electric Feel. Now the Electric Feel was not just a drink, it was an experience. Our server explained to our friend that he should sip a little of the drink, then chew the Szechuan buzz bud for about 15 seconds, letting it coat his whole tongue, then enjoy the rest of the drink which would taste different afterwards. Our friend went through all those steps and said it was incredible, like all the flavors were enhanced along with different sensations in his mouth, kind of numb and tingly. His wife was not satisfied with his description of the experience, so she bought a Szechuan buzz bud for $2 and she said it was kind of like pop rocks. These buzz bud looks just like a little flower bud like the end of a dandelion once the seeds are blown away. It comes from a plant. Totally fascinating! We enjoyed our one cocktail each here and just had great conversation. It was a fun night because of the company, and also because we had a little adventure going to two amazing places!

    There's a lot to like here, but it's a bit uneven…read more We started with the Brussels sprouts and they were excellent--crispy, balanced, and easily the standout of the night. My wife's cocktail was also top notch. She ordered the risotto and that was another win--well executed and clearly something the kitchen has dialed in. My entrée (the mussels with chorizo and fennel) was the miss. It came out very salty, and I couldn't really detect the fennel that was listed on the menu. To their credit, they comped a beer, which was appreciated. Service was friendly. One small but real comfort note: there was an exposed bulb on a shelf at eye level that made our table uncomfortable enough that i had to move my seat to not have it in my eyes the entire evening. Probably an easy fix, but worth mentioning. Overall, there are some genuinely strong dishes here, and enough went right that we'll be back--just hoping for a bit more consistency across the board.

We ordered the fried pickles as an appetizer as well as another couple of items. I can't remember off the top of my head this go around. I just opted for water while others ordered some beer as well as sodas prices are pretty fair and portions were good size. My tacos were great, but the beans were quite dry and I honestly didn't try the rice cause I was pretty full off of the tacos. Service was good. I don't have any complaints and parking was easy.

I was there with my family and all the TVs were on different sports everything from hockey to Bull Riding and some MMA fights. My family and I are all practicing martial artists. I've been training 25+ years so naturally the sport we were interested in were the fights. One by one each TV that had the fights was changed to hockey. I asked my server about it and could he change one of the smaller TVs that I could see back to the fight. He left, came back and was told by his manager this was a family establishment. I'm not one to make a scene so I finished my meal, tipped my sever well as I do when they deserve it and I left a review stating my grievance on the tablet at the table as I paid my bill. The idea of it's a family establishment is bogus. I'm literally there with my family and every one of us trains BJJ and I myself train BJJ and judo and have had multiple professional fights in my younger years. My kids know this, and sometimes pull me up on YouTube to watch "Daddy fight" there's nothing virtuous about excluding one family because the unrealistic idea that another family might be offended. I was very disappointed and will not be back because I am a man of principle. I guess me and my family are just barbarians how dare we enjoy pugilistic contest. I spent a significant portion of my hard earned money to take my family there. Gas is $6 a gallon and everything is expensive, finneys needs to appreciate every customer that spends their hard earned money in their establishment. I will not be back. There are plenty of other places in town.
