Tender Hooligan has been in business since 2024 and it's known for its unique blend of high-fidelity vinyl listening, specialty coffee, craft beer, and cocktails. The audiophile cafe and bar is located next door to La Pesca Cevicheria on Third Ave. We had a 45 minute wait time for dinner at La Pesca and ordered a few drinks while we waited for table. Tender Hooligan functions as a community hub with a record store, themed spaces, and events like live music and game nights, offering a cozy, eclectic atmosphere for working, socializing, or enjoying music. The menu features unique drinks like the Ube Espresso and Jeepney Latte, alongside food and a selection of soju cocktails. I ordered a beer michelada. It's such a fun hangout check it out!!

We got everything in it, and added avocado for $1. The peperoncini was free to add on the side. The sandwich was yum, but for $7, it is the best I've ever eaten. Service: 4.5/5 The person who took our order was so kind, offering us water when we didn't order any drinks and making sure we needed nothing else while we ate. Atmosphere: 4.5/5 It's so so cozy in here! I think it turns into a bar after dark, and the place is the right ambiance for both AM and PM. It was decently packed, and there are games to borrow! I would recommend this place for a casual lunch, a coffee run, or a third-space hang out. Amazing, no notes. Final rating: 4.67/5 (rounding up to 5 on Yelp)

At times they made comments that were rather rude. I do not think it was on purpose, but this would be an easy way for the experience to go from a 2 to a 4 or 5, they need to work on being more friendly, and more welcoming. I see in looking at other reviews the somewhat rude / standoffish staff issues are a frequent complaint and seem to not have been addressed.

We've been wanting to check out Long Play Hi-Fi for a while, and after finally finding it (which is…read morepart of the experience ).. It's got this hidden, almost speakeasy vibe. You ring the doorbell, wait patiently, and once you're inside, you realize this isn't your typical coffee shop. It's a place to slow down, enjoy the music, and savor your drink. Monique and Danica were both amazing. They're warm, welcoming, and you can really see the passion behind what they do. Danica is also the DJ, and her eclectic playlist made the whole experience even better. One of my favorite parts was just sitting there watching our drinks being made. You can see the care and craft that goes into every cup...even the Kuramoto ice is beautiful. The Matcha Americano completely changed my perception of matcha. The Kyoto cold brew pour-over was fascinating to watch and incredibly smooth. We loved it so much that we came back the very next day. This time I had the Midori, and my brother-in-law loved the Highball, especially the yuzu. No laptops. Trust the DJ. Drinks are meant to be enjoyed fresh, so take your time. If you're looking for a quick coffee run, this isn't it. But if you appreciate great coffee, good music, and people who are passionate about their craft, Long Play Hi-Fi is absolutely worth the visit.

We had the burger (juicy, flavorful), Mexican Caesar (best i've ever had- the dressing was perfect), and chicken tenders (lightly breaded and great seasoning). The portions were generous which was great for our family of 4. The cider is top notch. Best we've ever had. You can tell there is a lot of care and expertise in their craft! Lara, the owner/creator/cider queen is so knowledgable about all things cider, San Diego (native), and design. The building is the most thoughtfully designed and artistic dining/social space we've been in in the U.S. ask about the yurt wall, the mapping on the countertops, and the vintage pieces carefully placed throughout the building. Maybe the coolest bathrooms ever?!? Each has a different design. The blue Matisse is a personal fave We only wish we lived close by. This would be a great remote work spot and event gathering space.

Tickets were purchased on-line, they allowed an hour beforehand to mingling. The layout was a little different from the last event I attended but it still felt intimate and cozy. I greeted friends, grabbed a NA bevie some mango deliciousness and parked my bottom at the closest table. The speakers topic was Crayons over Constitution so she provided us with blank poster board and crayons to doodle which I was totally happy to partake in. Mid presentation, I grabbed the other NA bevie, fruit punch of some sort. It was a wee bit too sweet for me, I should have gotten the mango bevie again but you never know what you'll like of you don't new things right? The event was incredible, I already requested to host to book her again. The venue is really awesome for small group events. I got to meet the manager/owner at the end of the evening and she was delightful!

You order at the counter and the food comes out pretty quickly. There was ~10 minute wait to order on a Thursday morning (11am). The staff are friendly. We ordered Breakfast Burrito #3 ($15), Big Breakfast 2 ($15), and a side of Kono Potatoes ($7). The portions are pretty big and we had to take some of our food to go. However, I was very disappointed by the taste and the lack of meat in both the breakfast burrito and potatoes. The burrito was 95% eggs and potatoes with small pieces of bacon shoved at the bottom. It didn't have any flavor and was pretty dry, so I wouldn't recommend it.

They have a fairly long list of seasonal cocktails and a shorter list of non-alcoholic drinks such as hot cocoa. My family tried a few, we tried the eggnog, whiskey hot cocoa, and cranberry mule. The whiskey was pretty mild in the hot cocoa and was creamy and tasty. The mule was not too sweet which was delicious, and the eggnog was very spiced which was personally not my taste but was the most sophisticated of the three if that's your thing! The service was friendly and quick. Of course this is just a little stand on the side of an ice rink so I wouldn't expect much but it was better than expected and nice to have!
