They weren't sure where to go, so I quickly yelped bars and this one popped. It wasn't super busy, so we easily grabbed a table. Kinda divey, kinda neighborhoody, and they played good music. Very much my group's style with the old school r&b and hip hop. Drink prices above were reasonable. I got one round and my friend got the other one. Each round averaged 3.5 drinks and about $41.50 each. $52 each with tip. Nice place to hit up if you're it the neighborhood and looking for a night cap of sorts. Music was a little loud, so talking can be a challenge, but we had a good time. REVIEW #3826

Drinks: Mai Tai - solid, a little boozy, balanced sweetness and acidity with a nice kick of rum, full size pours for the happy hour cocktail which was amazing, definitely worth a try if you like mai tai's Ube Pina Colada - delicious, sweet, creamy with a pineapple and coconut being prominent, ube flavor was subtle, a little bit of rum flavor in the back ground but a pretty sweet and indulgent cocktail Food: Lumpia - great, came with 6 pieces, served piping hot, great crispy fried crunchy lumpia wrapper filled with ground pork and veggies, served with a tangy sweet and spicy vinegar sauce Spicy Spam Rice Bites - good came with 4 pieces, a half slice of spam breaded in panko and fried crisp. Topped with a piece of nori and some steamed rice sprinkled with scallion and furikake which helped to cut some of the saltiness. Ate a touch dry think a drizzle of a tonkatsu sauce or teriyaki would have been great Service was good, water carafe was dropped off right when we were seated, plate and utensils provided after we ordered food. Drinks were served shortly after we ordered and food took about 5-10 minutes once we ordered. Staff checked in after we finished our initial bites and we were able to add in additional snacks before end of happy hour which was great. Overall really enjoyed happy hour at Hula Hoop, great menu of drink and food specials that were really a great deal definitely will be returning.

We dropped in and were seated immediately in the back section. Great layout with a front area with tables, a separate back area with larger tables and then an outside area - take your pick.

We went on a Friday night, where they had a very loud band playing in the middle of the restaurant. It seemed the only people enjoying the music were the band members themselves. I mean that with no disrespect, there were the people located next to the band that were covering their ears, outwardly! There were people sitting outside, and as they came inside to leave, I jokingly said they must be from up north, as the outside temperature was 55 degrees with a light drizzle. They stated the only reason they ate outside was because they couldn't hear anything due to the band. It's an extremely loud band and a closed space so the music really echo. Unfortunately there is minimal weight staff. I believe that they spent the money on more servers rather than a band, it would be the best business move. Our server came to get our drink and food order, and then didn't come back until it was time to drop off the check. We had a runner come deliver our food, and they forgot the side salad. But by the time our waitress came, we were ready to leave, so we just asked them to take it off the bill. My mom's patty melt was OK, the meat was very thin compared to the slice of bread. My Long Island with also not great. It tasted like a well drink. I would've given 5 stars if the waitress was able to check in on us after we got our food, if the patty melt had better proportions, and my cocktail tasted a little more flavorful.,

I really wanted to like it here but things just kept going wrong one thing after another…read moreunfortunately. The biggest thing was I had Chevy rewards for a free guacamole and told the server right as we were ordering and he said ok. Later when the bill comes we were charged for it and when I asked about it the server said he was having trouble getting the code to work. He said he was going to ask the manager to void it but walked to the manager and the manager Miguel just said flat out NO. I wouldn't have ordered it had I known they won't honor the loyalty point deals they advertise. Miguel didn't even try to help or honor it and just said well you'll have to pay for it. The whole thing just left a sour note in my mouth and worst part was it wasn't even close to the only thing to go wrong We had reservations at 415, we came in and there was no host on duty. We wait about ten minutes and a line forms after us. The manager finally comes up and asks if we've been helped and I said not yet. We made the reservation for the dining room but they weren't seating anyone there and just brought us to the cantina. We order apps including the guacamole we were told would be free because of our online rewards. The guacamole was bland and had no salt at all in it so we barely ate it. They brought the queso fundito and didn't bring the tortillas that were supposed to come with it. We asked for tortillas then nothing came. The guy came back with our order of fajitas and didn't have any tortillas with that either. We ask again and they brought them eventually. We ordered carne asada fries that never showed up even though it was repeated by the server when ordering. We got the pick 2 fajitas that says pick any two. We picked the pork loin and our waiter said no that's not an option. We ordered the pastor and he comes back and says they're out. We got the carne asada and carnitas instead, they both were pretty dry and bland. We got vampiro tacos that didn't have much cheese in them so they just tasted like regular tacos We ordered the deep fried ice cream at the end. We wait about 15 minutes then our waiter comes up to us and says they're out. I just ask for the check and that was when everything happened with the rewards. It just feels pretty shady that they send you a reward saying come in for this free app, and agree it's free when ordering, then at the end just say never mind you have to pay for it. I don't know how Miguel could run a restaurant because it seemed that all of the tables around us were unhappy too. And he wasn't really doing anything to help his workers who were pretty swamped. We came in excited because we hadn't had Chevys in a long time but today showed me that may have been a blessing. Our server tried but disorganization and bad management unfortunately turned the whole experience sour. That $160 could've been much better spent elsewhere.

We started by trying to order drinks, but were told there was no bartender. Fine, we moved on. When my fiancée asked if they had socks, the employee simply shook their head. No explanation, no "sorry," nothing. We ended up going to Goodwill to buy a pair just so we could bowl. Once we finally got on our lane, it malfunctioned three different times. After the third issue, I asked for a refund because it was clear we weren't going to have a smooth experience. The only positive thing I can say is that the facility was nice and clean. Unfortunately, clean floors don't make up for poor customer service and equipment that constantly breaks down. If your bowling lanes are having issues, the least you can do is be friendly, apologize, and try to make things right. Needless to say, we won't be coming back.

One of the best hookah lounges in the peninsula. The only one that serves alcohol. On Saturdays DJ Hesham (Khaled's apprentice) doubles as a DJ and a BELLY DANCER. The hookah always hits well. Music is nice and loud on the weekends and ambient on the weekdays. Great place to party on the weekend and relax on the weekday. Hookah and tea during the weekdays, hookah and whiskey on the weekends. Owners Hesham (DJ), Bobby (the business) and Adele (the hype man) always go above and beyond for us. Ask about the secret menu. Jk. Not sure if there is one. read more

I do not recommending coming here if you are a low budget person. The owner Bobbie and the bartenders there charges what ever they want on your Credit Card. If do try to tell them you did not get this item, they will still charge you and rack up the bill. I kinda feel, Fog City is really just trying to get you for your money. They do not care about you as a customer. read more

It has that authentic sports bar vibe without trying too hard. TVs going, people locked into games, and just an overall relaxed energy. It feels like a place you can come to regularly, not just once. It didn't feel like a tourist spot at all, more like somewhere locals actually hang out. Food-wise, it's solid bar food done right. Wings, burgers, and the kind of stuff you actually want when you're watching a game or just kicking back. Nothing fancy, but it hits and fits the environment. The drinks were on point too. Good beer selection, solid cocktails, and plenty of options if you're just trying to chill for a while. The setup with TVs and bar games makes it easy to stay longer than you planned. The staff and the crowd both added to the experience. It felt welcoming, people were comfortable, and you don't get that awkward feeling walking into a new place. Only thing to keep in mind is it's very laid back and first come first served. Depending on when you go, you might have to wait or stand around a bit. Overall, if you're looking for a real sports bar with good food, drinks, and a local feel, this is definitely a spot worth checking out.
