"What a neat little bar located in the heart of downtown Benicia. Cool vibes, drinks, everything!This placed is fully equipped with a variety of seating options, including comfy couches which my friend and I were able to secure. Immediately we were greeted by one of the employees who handed us a menu on the iPad. Once we decided what we wanted, we ordered at the bar.I tried a few mixed drinks and they were all pretty good! Not a fan of the cider though. We didn't get to try the food here but will definitely try it next time. Unfortunately we also missed the band by a smidge, so hopefully we can catch that next time as well!"
"The ambiance was nice with cool colored lights and many plans, it's a fun little spot to hangout. The service was courteous and friendly. 5/5Initially, the plan was just to grab drinks, but we ended up ordering the patatas bravas, which were tasty. We'll definitely return to try more of the food menu. 4/5However, the drinks were a bit difficult to enjoy due to their overly harsh flavors, which took a very long time to make. 1/5"
"It was a different ambience with a show going on while we are having dinner. I order spaghetti meatballs with garlic bread and it was just OK. I think the price is a little bit expensive."
"I like the lounge and I'm happy they reopened. Great place to chill before a massage and of course - there's a bowling alley inside The cocktail menu tends to rotate and it seems like the day menu is different that their evening one. Highly recommend the burger and the wings. I love their specialty cocktails and you shake visit during the holiday seasons bc their cocktail choices are even better"
"Great wine and servers. We had a fabulous time here. Highly recommend if you are in the area!"
"We went here for a Thursday Night Football game. First, I was happy there were plenty of 49ers fans. That's enough for 2 stars out of the gate. LolIt's not a big sports bar. It seemed to be more a local spot - comfortable, cozy, and relaxing. It could use an update in the furniture and A/V equipment, but we had a good time nonetheless. The bar area was a little crowded, and it took a while to get our drinks. But, the bartenders and wait staff were friendly and patient. The wings were good. I only wish people cooked them longer. They weren't raw, but I like mine more well done and wasn't around when we ordered. My bad !!! This is definitely a spot I would recommend and return to. My next visit, though, would be a normal Friday or Saturday night. It, maybe a Sunday to see how they handle games then. Until next time ......"

Great venue for jazz/blues. Stopped in for a Lavay Smith show. The band was top notch. Had appetizers, drinks and dinner plates (southern fried chicken and pepper brisket). Excellent faire. Andrew was our server, very efficient and nice. So glad live music is back at B&B.

The Hotsy Totsy apparently is the favorite watering hole for locals, and I now see why. It's a very unassuming dive bar from the exterior, but surprisingly spacious and cozy in the inside, with plenty of seating available. Went for HH on a Tuesday, and it was surprisingly packed and busy inside already. Only 1 bartender working behind the bar the whole night, but she was incredibly efficient in taking orders and dishing out drinks. And we didn't have to try to flag her down for 20mins before getting her attention. Drinks were stiff and well made, CC is accepted without minimums, and patrons of all ages were friendly to interact with. I can now see what the appeal is, and why Hotsy Totsy has been around for so long!Pro-tip: Before or after your drinking adventures, be sure to hit up the cash-only taco truck behind the bar. They serve delicious tacos for $3/ea!

We decided last minute to go on a day date. We choose the Rellik. Chloe was our fabulous and very friendly bartender today. We went in for cocktails and appetizers. We had the Raven's Claw (stuffed jalapeños) and the shrimp and fries. Raven Claw was excellent, so was the dip, but prepare for heat, very, very good. The shrimp delicious and the cocktail sauce amazing. I don't know what they put on the fries, but you can't stop eating them. I started with the Ticked Pink (refreshing) then the Riva Ranch Chardonnay. Great food, drink, service and time. We are heading back for trivia night this week, may have to repeat the order

Review Time! I'm late to this, but here it goes. Since they have a bar, they card you at the entrance. Stepping inside, you're greeted by a dimly lit ambiance with vibrant accents, creating a cool and inviting atmosphere. I loved the decor and overall vibe.Our host and waitress were incredibly friendly, attentive, and engaging in conversation. They made us feel like regulars from the moment we walked in.The food was truly impressive! The menu is concise and changes seasonally, which initially made me a bit hesitant. However, I was blown away by the quality and flavor. This is a fantastic spot for a night out with friends or a romantic date. The beautiful decor and the music - a delightful mix of Afro-Caribbean, R&B, and hip-hop - created a truly enjoyable atmosphere.

I was looking for a place for valentine's day that has live music and would be family friendly, and i found WiseGirl. They accept reservations which was great. I was told we will be in the music hall. Feb 14 and the area was starting to get packed. we were directed to the music hall where the live band was setting up. There were maybe 7 big tables and we were seated with a different party on the same table. Food- I ordered prime rib and I had it medium. my wife ordered their special-lobster ravioli. Food was served within 10minutes. it was a little dark in the room but mine looked like was well done. I confirmed with when i started slicing a piece and felt how tough and dry it was. I ended up not eating half of it. Even my server agreed that it looked like it was cooked well done.My wife said her ravioli was good. Serving size is pretty good. The value for money in terms of the food is great.Service- i like our server. she always had a smile on her face and can be seen interacting with guests. parking - the place is situated in a complex with different restaurants which share a common parking lot. i had to drive three times before finding a spot.music- the band which performed was good. you can tell that guests were enjoying the music.sorry, i didnt have the chance to take pictures.

This is a nice lounge in at the resort. We got a couple of lanes for bowling. We were here to celebrate a family member's bday. We got potato wedges and ranch which were the best I have ever had!!! We also got the pizookie which was amazing. Our server Mario went above and beyond in making sure our food was brought out piping hot and in a timely manner. He's amazing at what he does and was extremely helpful. Would love to go back here and try out more things.

This place has my fav vibes - very sparkly and cozy and nice :) !! We got the bubbles flight, but the other flights are also super nice deals and are def what we'll come back for. The bites also hit the spot - meatballs were tasty and we always love a fresh burrata crostini. Server was quick and attentive, and it was relatively spacious inside. parking is rough here but when is it not ! Overall would def return:)

Our first time back since the pandemic and I made reservations and we went inside and the main outdoor area was busy as a large group just came in so the hostess suggested the side patio which was fine as there were 4 of us and we wanted to have a quiet dinner. One thing I noticed is that the servers did not wear face masks so it must be optional for the business. We order the fried calamari, the seafood pasta, the fish with cannelloni beans, bacon and spinach and the chicken fettuccine. All were hearty and delicious and our friends enjoyed the atmosphere and the weather was just right. Heat lamps were available but it was a balmy warm evening so there was no need for the lamps. It took awhile to get our appetizer and food but it was worth the wait.

"Overall good vibes even on a Monday night! We got the hot toddy and liquid sunshine with the shroom Tartine.. followed by kali mojo and padrino which were decent for a second round"
"Their happy hour is from 2pm - 7pm. I'll start with that! Cool spot for gathering with friends. The vibe is a mix of country meets, hipster but in Hayward. Tables accommodate large groups of 10 or more, or just two as in our case.HH drinks are $8. At first I silently protested, they should be $6. But when I had the margarita I understood the price point, the drinks are well made.* Pomegranate Margarita * Prickly Pear PalomaThe margarita was perfect. Well mixed and not sweet. The Paloma was good but included Mezcal, which I do enjoy but it would have been nice to know that it was a key ingredient, since it has such a strong flavor and aroma. Still good but fyi. So why 3 stars? The bathroom. It was like a bad scene change in a movie. I went from well how do bro, to gas station garage stop. The bathroom obviously didn't make the budget. Aside from that, cool spot for drinks and social time."
"Two of my sisters and I dined here yesterday for a birthday lunch. I always order the same menu item, ma po tofu over steamed rice. Other items ordered were fried chicken bento box, pork belly bento box, fried green beans and beef tongue. The beef tongue is good, but the beef tendon is better.We do miss Jessica who was our server in the past. It is taking us time to get used to the new server. He is okay. Conversation is in Mandarin, which I don't speak much of in that dialect.Since we come here quite often when we get together for lunch in Oakland Chinatown, I have decided to raise the restaurant to a five star.Definitely there will be more visits to Lounge Chinatown in the future."
"If you are still contemplating, this is your sign to book and come through! I had the best experience booking and hosting my partner's 30th birthday party with about 35 guests altogether. The guests loved the food, drinks, music, and vibes!! Will definitely come by again soon. CHOOSING EXECUTIVE ORDER: One month prior to the event, I was searching for a venue that suited our needs for food, drinks, music, vibe, and pricing. I had been researching 20+ places including Executive Order. Once I heard back from them with the details and options for my event, I knew they were the one! I had specific requirements that I wanted for this event and the owner was extremely helpful, open, and responsive to all of my inquiries. There was never a moment of uncertainty since they presented me with so many options for food /catering and beverages for that night that were clearly outlined in our email communications. Expectations could not have been clearer. AN UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT: From the initial event booking inquiry until even an hour after our space rental had ended, the staff were the most kind and attentive to our large group. The staff went above and beyond in checking in with me upon arrival one hour before our event and until one hour after the event. They had the space prepared for me more than one hour in advance and helped me setup! Truly grateful for their compassion and willingness to go above what was asked of them for that night. As the night began and guests arrived, they kept me updated with the status of the food coming out and the drink tab. They even helped me coordinate shots around the room to make a toast, light the birthday cake, and cut the beat for the music for us to sing happy birthday. A CLOSER LOOK INTO FOOD, DRINKS, MUSIC:FOOD: The food/catering was too easy to do - it is an excel sheet / google sheets! I strongly recommend the duck fat fries, buffalo wings, and sliders (turkey or chicken). All of it was a HIT. Guests ate it up and came asking me for more! DRINKS: The choice to opt into a pre-paid open bar was a no-brainer. All the guests had a great time ordering to their hearts desires and the bartenders were amazing in receiving all the guests and creating the drinks. Even though shots were the most popular, a few of the guests chose something off their drink menu which they told me was delicious as well. MUSIC: On the night of our event, there was a live DJ playing 90s hip-hop and R&B. The vibe was perfect for the scenery and the DJ was super supportive of our large group - taking requests and coordinating fade outs for us to have a celebratory moment filled with speeches, singing happy birthday, and cake blowing. And once our moment concluded, he played us out with a birthday banger, never missing a beat! Special thanks to John Eric, Dave, T, Ryan, DJ Mark, and the rest of the staff who made that a night to remember! I could not imagine the night going more smoothly."
"I go here when I need to de stress. It's a local joint and very welcoming. The bartenders are super nice make great drinks. This isnt a party bar so don't come expecting to dance or rave. This is a local spot where we go to hang out, and if you go enough they recognize you. They always have different foods this year it's panchos cantinas. It's ok. I miss the hot chicken sandwich guy."
"This is probably my favorite bar in Oakland. A very classy spot, with a nice ambiance and good drinks. The food options are limited, but are very good as well.They have an outdoor rooftop area with plenty of seating, and indoor seating as well. The entrance is somewhat inconspicuous on a side street, and the bar itself is on the second floor of the building. I highly recommend it for a fun night out."
"Sequentially, this was going to be my 400th review--but it's getting bumped thanks to a certain pup at a new brewery in Suisun City.Probably not the smartest last hop as everyone else was trying to get it in before 1am. I think that's probably the curfew in this town because the streets were pretty bare for a weekend.That said, we were flyin' high by the end of the night. So high, I had ordered four Fernet 'with' Cokes instead of ending on a Fernet n chase note. That pushed our limit pretty good.Mercantile's at the base of the Andaz hotel. Attracts a more speakeasy/artisinal crowd who enjoy their whiskies and flashy spirits with no real regard to price.More of a bar to leave first impressions with than the drink itself. Not really our style but by all means if you have slacks and dress shoes on = go for it."
"Nice hotel lobby spot for morning coffee and meetings. Sort of odd to call this out specifically but the overnight oats with fresh fruit were beyond fantastic in my opinion. Looking forward to staying at the Kissel next time I'm visiting Oakland."
"This review is solely based on the beef patties. They're so good I dream about them. I don't know what their secret is but their dough is super flaky. The filling is generous and really good! I actually ordered one to split with my boyfriend and that was a huge mistake. We ended up ordering several more. I've been here before, but whoever was working behind the bar today had exceptional customer service. I asked for a side of their orange pepper sauce which is amazing on the beef patties. I came back a second time and she remembered I like the orange sauce with it and packed it with my Togo order."
"Was looking for a place to chill before a show at the UC Theater and found this spot that was about a 5 minute walk from the venue! Wasn't expecting much, but was happily surprised once inside! Staff is friendly and lots of seating around Friday 8pm. It was giving speakeasy vibes with the back door that leads to the bathroom and self serve taproom! House cocktails were great, but I was blown away by the Tikka Masala fries - sooo saucy and good!! If I lived closer, I would come here just to order these fries for takeout haha"
"Only a handful of bars are open so this one gets packed full of regulars fast. Very friendly people, great drinks, and some pool tables. Small space so find your spot fast and keep it lol."
