Bartender was so drunk I could hardly understand him. He made me a spicy margarita but I think he forgot to add booze. Saw him taking shots with some other patrons that I'm sure had a better time than me. If I go back I'll be getting bottled beer.

Ordered a Roy rogers (NA, cola and cherry grenadine) while on a date. The bartender didn't have cherry grenadine and asked if strawberry was ok, yea sure I don't care, pours a can of coke in a glass and gives it a splash of strawberry grenadine. I ask how much. "Ten bucks" What the hell? For a splash of sugar syrup and a can of coke?! Piss off. Won't be coming back.

A new favorite spot for me! $2 oysters and a fancy cocktail? Perfection. The oysters are tiny but fresh. The slushee is delicious. Some of the cocktails are overly sweet just as an FYI. There is a movie playing on a projector for vibes! And a DJ playing music (at least on weekends). The entire Foreign Cinema menu is accessible from here. If paying those prices I'd rather sit in the main restaurant to be honest. But nice to be able to order the appetizers at least.

$2 Oysters ALL night! I've been there with "Happy Hour" oysters with a not so happy ending. These aren't sus ones that come with a complimentary detox. They come from Foreign Cinema's kitchen (sister resto in same building). Oysters at Foreign Cinema are $4-$4.50 each so this is an awesome deal. I could have sworn I wrote a review for Laszlo over a decade ago but guess not. (+) $2 Oysters ALL night (chef's choice): They're properly shucked and fresh, served with a shallot mignonette and lemon wedges. (+) Foreign Cinema's full food menu available - ideal if you can't get last minute rezzies. (+) Good selection of spirits - Fortaleza on deck! (+) Gayle, the owner/chef from Foreign Cinema is hospitality and customer service driven. She came outside to make sure we weren't too cold and kindly offered to move us inside. We choose to stay outside but just the offer itself meant a lot. (+) DJ spinning on Thursday-Sunday + movies projected on the wall. (+) Multiple seating area - indoors: bar, booths, and loft area (intimate date night vibes) + outdoor (two tables). (+) Dog-friendly (outdoors). (+) Parking is always an issue but the Mission-Bartlett Garage is right in back (enter on 21st street). (-) Wrong orders and/or missing food orders. For example, I asked for a spirit shaken but received a cocktail with vermouth instead. Also, the times we ordered food, an item is missing. We noticed it happen to others as well. (-) No itemized bill provided. On our most recent visit, the total seemed high. When I asked for an itemized bill, I found we were double charged for a drink. They were apologetic and quickly resolved the issue. Def ask for an itemized bill BEFORE paying! Overall, Laszlo's remain a pretty solid bar to hit up if you're bar hopping in The Mission. Or, if you're looking for solid $2 Oysters ALL night!

Overall a solid spot by Foreign Cinema, complete with the same vibey interior. I especially love the split floors and the DJ, which put this place a lick above a lot of the other cocktail bars in the area. We got the peaches and gryphon cocktails. They were good, but I've had better -- they were a little off balance. I did appreciate the attention to detail and high quality booze options they had, though. The bartenders were nice, but even though the place was at 40% capacity, it was impossible to get their attention. My friend and I stood at the bar for 15 mins before someone came over and offered to make us drinks. I'd come back, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

Perfected ambiance, live dj, projected films, fair priced drinks for the city. The second floor is so intimate and a great place for drinks after dinner or to have dinner. Overall 10/10 and I can't express how much of a fan I am. Will be returning!!!
This was the most disappointing meal I have ever ordered "the cheese board" it was just 4 little bites of cheese and a couple of almonds. Also the olives were a tiny

+4 ⭐️ for nice enough decor, fine music, friendly staff-1.75 ⭐️ for blatantly pouring JACK MF DANIELS into a $16 old fashioned that boasts “bespoken bourbon” on the menu-0.25 ⭐️ for flirtatiously and *fallaciously* advertising happy hour online!!!Minus no stars, but if you offer a cocktail with blue in the name… that girl better be blue, not a mf Negroni?
