Located in the Tangram Mall. The bar has a huge TV. Full bar and serve several craft beers. I believe food is served but we were there for drinks. The place has a lounge/relax/ casual type atmosphere. The service is so so. I ordered two pear martinis. The bartender served us the drinks with tequila instead of vodka. I asked the bartender "isn't this drink made with vodka?" He said oops. He was talking on the phone when he made the mistake. He was constantly on the phone. The drink was average. Poor service plus average drink equals I ain't no glutton for punishment.

Nice place and big tvs. Unisex bathroom. Friendly staff-NO plugs to charge phone you have to pay-$34 for a tequila soda...EXPENSIVE

This is as my first and last time at this place. The bartender was so rude to me and my friend group, I tried to order a simple drink, (Malibu and pineapple juice, not that hard) and she gave me an attitude and sighed as she went to make it. Then she tried to get her tablet which was on the other side of the table and proceeded to elbow me to get it and only after I looked at her she said "excuse me". Finally after we didn't give her a tip for little no service and her attitude, she threw my friend's credit card on the table. I decided to go up to her after we paid and asked her if there was an issue, or if she didn't want to serve us, (we were the only group of Latinos there, everyone else was Asian so who knows at that point) and she proceeded to gaslight me and say that I was probably overthinking, she barely had an interaction with us and she "didn't know what I was talking about" and repeated the same thing over again. I'm very disappointed in this place, as I had high expectations, but I know that I won't be back because I honestly felt discriminated against. Terrible.

This is only the second review I have ever given here on Yelp and I hope that it's taken into consideration. I have visited this bar on numerous occasions because it's so convenient when I am done watching a movie at the Regal theater within the same mall. Most of the time when I have visited it's very dead because it's the middle of the week. Good service is something one expects especially if the place is dead but that's not what's given. I have been served by 4 different bar tenders during all of my visits. When I first started going in the beginning of 2023 a few times I was served by a young skinny girl and believe she had a nose ring with a few tattoos. She was very nice. Closer to this 2024 year has been a little different. A couple of times a women who seems older then the rest never made me or my girlfriend feel welcomed. Sitting right at the bar we couldn't get her attention. This is again during not so busy hours. There was a moment I got her attention and was going to ask her for a drink she had told me to hold so that she can leave the bar and get an order for someone that was waving her down on one of the tables. It was incredibly rude. She could have listened to what I had to say at least. I am right at the bar. It's not busy. It doesn't seem as if she wants to serve or even be in the service industry with the lack of attention she gives. A few times my girlfriend wanted to visit the bar again because it's a nice place and convenient. They also host boxing fights. But I have turned down going because I didn't want service from this bartender any more. The one time I gave it a chance again There was a young man I never seen serve before and he was incredibly nice. Very attentive. I wish a new his name. He gave me hope of visiting again. Today I visited the bar with my girlfriend after a movie. A young girl was serving. Wasn't very helpful with suggestions. Didn't seem to want to verbally explain any drink. Just told us to look at the many selections which we're not many. I can deal with this but once we have our drink she is at the other corner of the bar glued on her phone. Didn't even notice that we had someone join us. (bar is not busy once again ) we have to grab her attention so she can bring our friend a drink which was already with us for a few minutes at the bar. The lack of attention is incredible. If the bar is dead you can make sure everything is alright with us. Never came around to see if we were ok never checked on us. We almost started to feel as if it was a race issue. It's so lame to play that card but why is the service mostly bad ? Because we don't look like the usual crowd ? Maybe the servers are just not great. Maybe they just need to find something that makes them happy. 2 out of 4 bartenders. I'm not sure if that's a good ratio. I just didn't want to go back after a few bad experiences with the older women and then the young man gave me some hope one night so when I returned today the lack of service the young lady gave was disappointing. The food is ok nothing great. The drinks are good but pricey. Good vibes are only when they host a boxing event but if I'm going to feel unwanted when I visit during mostly un busy hours and I'm right at the bar why would I choose to spend my money here? I have seen the owner a few times but only during the beginning of me discovering the bar. Seems like a chill dude just running around in the background. Obviously busy man. I would tell him I don't feel comfortable at the bar. I want to feel more comfortable. Hire more friendly bartenders maybe. I don't want to visit any more. I don't want to roll the dice and maybe I do get the young man awesome dude. Suggested everything to my gf tried to find out what she would like best. Or hoping I get the bartender from my first visits with the nose ring I think with tattoos. She was great. I think I even visited that time during a fight it was busy but she was still very attentive to ev

Everytime I come here the bartenders always have a bad attitude. It says to wait to be seated, most times I wait 10 minutes and then proceed to seat myself. Yes, I'm coming in weekdays when it's partly dead. But that should just mean I get better service no? It's just a convenient bar. Today I didn't tip. Bad service, bartender was on her phone. Came in for the amaretto mocktail, they were sold out. I asked her if she could make me something, she directed me to the menu which had like 3 options and juice and soda. I ended up getting alcohol because of the lack of options. Had a friend join us after a few minutes, no service because she was on her phone. After she saw my "no tip", she threw my credit card down at the bar and walked away. It's 2024. No tipping for shitty service. I want to like this bar. It's the bartenders that make this place bad. Food is bad. There's a rooftop close to tangram that's way better. $16 for a redbull margarita, I better get decent service.

Hip bar within the Tangram complex. Bar staff are superb, very friendly, and personable. Drinks are expensive, but the vibes are great. Music is also very good here.

Chill bar with big lawn games inside, huge TVs above bar, plenty of seating. Food was really good and priced well. The service is good, staff is attentive and bathrooms are clean. Parking is available for the Tangram mall. I would come back with friends and chill. Bartender mentioned that they have a DJ on Saturday nights so that might be something to check out.

I've never been here before, but I've passed by the entrance of it. I came here due to an after-party for a bday bash. It's a lowkey place where they don't have a dress code, and I didn't even see them check ID. It has a bar and some games like a huge Jenga and a huge connect four for people to socialize at while you're imbibing in drinks and bar food. I didn't really see the food menu, but the drinks seemed like it would be good for a decent price. All in all, if you need something to do late at night this place is opened until 2am.

Stopped by the food court and noticed this place showing US open matches. Nice atmosphere, extensive drink menu. I didn’t try food. Servers could brush up on available liquors but otherwise friendly and accommodating. Foosball and ping pong tables available. Outdoor patio.

Nice big place to hang with friends. Prices could be lowered and possibly have a Happy hour that would attract a crowd. Table service and Bar service needs improvement and better training in customer service.Parking: Paid garage in basement.

Such a nice place to hangout and just enjoy the music and good drinks. They make a drink called the long stare that is to die for, a favorite if you love whiskey.
