I ate here for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I had the cha-cha wings, tom cat style wings…read moreand I think garlic parm. they serve it to you with cucumbers and ranch and of course the wings and I think they were about eight or so each per basket. I took videos, but I accidentally deleted them so, you guys will just have to take my word for it lol. The wings came out hot and so flavorful. They were a good size as well. Not those tiny ones like mainstream wing places. it's a nice little dive bar that all the locals go to. i've passed by the spot many times, but an Instagram video made me want to come here and try the wings. The wings did not disappoint. Very flavorful. Staff was very pleasant and nice and attentive. However, the wait time for the wings was pretty long. that's the only reason why I give it four stars out of five. When I went, they were not that busy at all and it looks like most of the customers already had their food. Unsure why it took so long, but it is what it is. If I'm in the area and craving wings, I'd return to eat here.

I'm a dive bar fan but this spot was not what I expected. First the bar itself is tiny with almost…read moreno seating - instead the place is a huge, heavily lit space filled with lots of tables like a full on restaurant. Next, you can't just order a drink at the bar, but instead there's a line stretching from the middle of the bar back towards the door where you need to queue up somehow and order drinks or food. Nope, not interested in doing that. In sum it's lit and laid out like a Chuck-E-Cheese where there are no dark, quiet nooks to enjoy or any space for at the bar interactions. Instead, there's lots of light and noise from all the competing on screen games and no chance of getting a quick drink unless you want to stand in a dubious line. Not my cuppa tea.

I came here again last night with friends and began to check in for our reservation with the bartender (the same bartender who had let me in the last time I was here). He spent a long time inspecting my CA REAL ID before going into the back. He returned and said he can't let me in since he doesn't trust my ID. He said store policy is that they have to be able to feel the imprint on your license's signature, which even he admitted that he could, but it was too faded so he wouldn't let me in. I showed him matching credit cards, Costco membership, and CA DMV mobile drivers license, but he still refused and pleaded ignorance. He gave me my driver's license back and said I'm lucky because he normally keeps fakes (thanks for the empty threat). In reality, he knew my license was legitimate and didn't want to have the cops called on him. This place really needs to update their policies and train their staff better on how to identify legitimate IDs. I'm definitely not gong to bother coming here again and will make sure I recommend others not to come here.

If you haven't visited Cutwater Spirits, what are you waiting for. This place is a must stop,…read moreespecially if you enjoy your cocktails. The ambiance is an entire atmosphere. From decor, to seating, to the outdoors patio seating, it's great. They have a full bar with seating. They take reservations but, depending of the size of your party, there's automatic gratuity. They have viewing tours here and a full purchase area for all their cocktails. The service we received was 5 stars. We were a party of 15 and they were so tentative. They would bring cups of ice with our canned drinks, we didn't have to wait long after ordering, etc. the staff that assisted us needs to be recognized. All the employees working Friday late afternoon who tend the left corner in the front - kudos! We stuck to the cans because we went for happy hour. During happy hour cans are only $5 and their Ssignature cocktail drinks are only $10 instead of $15. Their Happy Hour appetizer menu is great too. The bulgogi loaded fries are sweet with some heat from the aioli. I do wish the meat were chunks like the original bulgogi instead of slow cooked braised beef that's shredded up. I would also ask for the sauce on the side because it can be a bit much if they put too much. The bbq pork sliders were yummy. The bread was soft, the meat had a subtle sweetness, and the coleslaw added a nice bright freshness to the heaviness of the meat. I only wish there was more slaw on them. The habanero buffalo wings were some of the best wings I've have. They were crispy, the meat was seasoned and not just sauce, and the buffalo sauce was chefs kiss. They are spicy so if you don't do spice definitely get another flavor. If you love visiting breweries or just want to try a new place out you have to come to Cutwater. It's amazing and I can't wait to go again

They have a buy one get one half off martini special, but since I'm not a big drinker, I ended up getting the Moscow Mule while my friend got the pear martini. My friend wasn't able to take advantage of the deal either because he said they definitely didn't skimp on the alcohol. We got a few appetizers, which are $2 off the regular price. The bacon wrapped dates stuffed with goat cheese were drizzled with a sweet balsamic and were really good. We also got the sliders which were tasty but a bit greasy. My drink was good and was made on the sweeter side per my request. My friend enjoyed his drink as well. This is a cute place that could be a nice first date spot. The food is good and the drinks are strong. There is a lot of parking too, which is always something I appreciate. Looking forward to coming back!
