      I come here mainly for the ambiance and resemblance of a backyard. Drinks are good, pretty standard. There's also a Mexican food truck w delicious guacamole and chips. Good place to have a chill birthday party or hangout

      Do not even try go, it's a waste of time and money. Door staff is rude, they made us wait 45 min in line while they place was half empty. Then, we were denied entry after being looked from up to bottom because "we didn't know who was DJing, and the place was full, try again tomorrow" while our friends were inside, it was empty, and clearly they let everyone in after us in the line. They discriminate by looks, against big groups, foreigners, and normal people (at least this guy/girl/it whatever is identified at the door).

      The Zumbador food thing out back feels like a price grab . Use to be cool and good hearty food you could count on. We miss Izakaya ! 15$ nachos with no cheese ??? Wtf . And they give you a hard time if you want extra anything and charge you $1.00 for a thimble size lolz :( RIP Izakaya. They had the best $9 burger around . And so kind. Not trying to yo price gauge . And they would remember you when you'd come back and always say hi ! Food is important.

      15$ for nachos with any cheese ?

      I came here expecting a fun time and got on line, but got kicked out of the line for talking back to the a woman supervising the line when she was rushing me and my friend. Completely unprofessional since she said my friend and I were unable to walk when that was untrue. A complete power trip and ruined the night for us.

      Saw a girl fighting for her life at the bar. First attempted to call her friends. Then asked for help- girl than projectile vomited on my friend and I. Help came 10 mins later. Manager said he would take her "to the emt upstairs" whatever that means. Asked the bartender for something to wipe the VOMIT off of my friend and I. Got laughed at and then was handed a 2 paper towels. Happy pride yall tried to give zero stars!!!

      Amazing outdoor space! It's huge, comfortable and welcoming, tons of different seating areas and various food and drink options. They also have board games. I would definitely come back to access this amazing outdoor space and great vibes.

      Good place to go specially during summer on "Summer Sunday's" their afternoon party. This year they are extending the event until the last weekend of October. I've been three times and I really like the ambiance in here. Is chill, please really go to enjoy the music and dance, and drinks are well made at a reasonable price.

      The only part that I think could improve is that their food offer is usually very limited and overpriced, so if you go make sure to eat something before arriving, and the bar always lack inventory of their beers, so their selection is not as wide as it shows the menu, I've been three times this summer and they never have what I ordered (multiple beers on different days) so I have to get something else.

      Other than that I really like their "respect and tolerance" policies, the crowd is usually very nice and not conflictive, I've never seen a fight or bad attitude from the guests.

      I would definitely recommend going, enjoying good music and having a good time. I've never been during their night events but they seem to have a very good DJ selection as well.

      My son took me here 6/21 and I had a great time but this past Saturday 5/20 my son had his wedding reception here. I was skeptical but he and his fiancée have a special bond here.
      Well Nowadays did not disappoint! The drinks, food, bartenders and all the staff were great! The DJ was amazing!!! I absolutely loved it! My friends agreed and we're in our late 50's-mid 60's. Fantastic night! Thank you for making my son john and his wife Melissa so happy on their special day.
