Bar Darling - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was great! It's a great new addition to Marina with a good vibe. It gets busy, making it a fun to hangout.

My experience at this restaurant started off wonderfully. I really liked the newly renovated space, and the initial drinks and staff, specifically Adrian and Jimmy, were friendly. However, as the night progressed, the bartenders became very unfriendly. After spending $200, I was shocked by the attitude I received when I simply asked to close out my tab. When I went to pay, one bartender asked, "what do you want? " and then rolled her eyes when I stated I wanted to pay my bill. To top it off, she tossed the payment machine at me. I did not expect or deserve such treatment after a significant spend.

I initially visited this bar with friends during its opening week and had an amazing cocktail experience. However, on a recent return visit, I discovered that their signature cocktails are now pre-batched. Unfortunately, these pre-batched drinks were very sweet and did not meet the high standards I've come to expect from this establishment. Even the bartender's attempts to improve the cocktails weren't enough, and we ended up ordering off the menu. Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend it based on this experience.

My experience at the restaurant was marred by a negative interaction with the "bouncer". I felt threatened and stated that I "didn’t break his jaw" and that "next time my wife won’t be able to save him. " This indicates a highly confrontational and potentially violent situation.

My experience at this bar was excellent. The staff were friendly, striking just the right balance of attentiveness without being overbearing. Both the drinks and food were great, and I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere. The noise level was quiet, making it easy to talk.

My experience at this beautiful bar in the Marina was fantastic! We visited on a Saturday afternoon for cocktails and light bites. As a group of 9, we were delighted to have a private area all to ourselves. The ambience was very nice, feeling both clean and modern. The service was pretty good, and our server was lovely. The food arrived in a reasonable time. While we didn't care for the espresso martinis, the other cocktails were good.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic, largely due to the exceptional service provided by Lucy. From the moment we were seated, she made us feel incredibly welcome and well-cared for, even though the restaurant was very busy. Lucy's upbeat and funny demeanor, coupled with her great energy, significantly enhanced our dining experience. Everything flowed seamlessly, and we genuinely had a lot of fun.

My experience at this restaurant was seriously delightful! I loved the appetizers, bites, and drinks. The spot itself is great, and I especially appreciate its proximity to other sweet treat spots and venues. While my photos don't do it justice, the vibes are so cute and the open concept interior is lovely.

My experience at this restaurant was terrible. From the moment we arrived, our server was irritable and impatient. The signature drinks were overly sweet with too much syrup, making them undrinkable. When we brought this to our server's attention, they were unhelpful and dismissed our concerns. I wish this place was like Peacekeeper. I definitely won't be returning and wish I could give 0 stars.

My experience at this restaurant felt like stepping into an aggressively dystopian booze cafeteria designed for robots. The wall of bottles appeared painted on, like wallpaper, and the atmosphere was devoid of any sound – no conversation, no bar noise, and no music. Patrons were left to find silent tables without any greeting, leaving us to wonder if we were expected to order online. After 90 seconds of bewilderment and feeling inhuman, we left and went to the Mauna Loa, which, while not great, at least had humans present.
