It's almost like a speakeasy, where the front is set up like a travel agency and once you're checked in you get transported into this hidden gem tiki bar!! The food was delicious! I came here with my bf and friends. They were able to accommodate our allergies as well (I'm gluten free and my bf can't have dairy, eggs, nuts, fish, and they were still able to give him lots of food!). They had lots of fun drinks on the menu too. Definitely coming back here!

The outside is decorated as a travel agency and the host walks you in. Our server was friendly and answered our questions about the drinks and food. Their menu is a "sharing menu". I will say that I think the best value are their family style platters. We tried the Mahalo pork which was good. Likely enough for 2-3 people. The Duck Spring Rolls were good but I didn't ask how many came in an order. It's 2 rolls for $18, which is not a great value. The Yaki Skewers were good. We got the shoyu chicken but again it's $15 for 3 skewers so not a great value. Drinks average $18 but they were good and came with fun umbrellas etc. Overall we'd return for drinks and maybe the pork platter. 4 stars for service and theme but 3 stars for overall value. They are right next to the paid lot and do validate but be aware you can get towed if the validation doesn't process for some reason. Yes, we've seen it happen

Eastman students, art purveyors, kickball teams, and many many more groups have found an alcohol & popcorn filled oasis in Salinger's. I went this past weekend and enjoyed a quieter atmosphere on Friday around 8:30pm. My double vodka soda was $5ish, and my partner and I grabbed a table and settled in. We enjoyed watching folks play games (pool, basketball, skee ball, and many many more all available here), and our beverages before moving on for the evening. The bartenders are used to high volume and take care of everyone at the bar quickly. It can get pretty busy in the later hours of the night, after concerts, and on weekends, but it is always homey feeling and a great way to start or end the night. All of the best things about dive bars come together at Sal's, and I can't wait for my next trip!

I've been a loyal customer at this establishment for nearly 20 years and never expected to…read moreexperience what I did. For years, I had no issues--until one of the security guards, an older light-skinned man with dreadlocks who has worked there forever, began targeting me for no reason. On multiple occasions he acted aggressive and confrontational toward me, even though I never raised my voice or reacted negatively. The last incident was the worst. He disrespected me in a way no customer should ever experience, threatened to "f** me up,"* and had me banned despite the fact that I never did anything to him. His hostility seems to stem from the fact that he doesn't like someone I happen to associate with--someone who also never disrespected him. What makes this even more concerning is that the owner appears to allow this type of behavior. I've seen this guard act out for years, and instead of correcting it, it feels like it's been encouraged. Many people I know have had negative experiences at this bar, and some have even lost their lives due to the environment created when drug activity is allowed inside. I've spent thousands of dollars here over the last 17 years, and never have I been disrespected the way I was by someone who is supposed to ensure customer safety. I considered speaking to the owner directly, but based on what I've witnessed, I truly believe she condones this behavior from her staff. After nearly two decades of loyalty, I can confidently say I will never return.

It's confusing due to the arrangement of the bar and tables. A couple had the attention of the bartender, so we didn't know where to go. The challenge is they need a hostess or two bartenders downstairs. Someone needs to greet people. We decided to just go upstairs. Great move! That's the real gem in this space. The lair in the back of the bar on the top floor is worth the visit. Loooove that area big time. I took a chance and got the Kran drink. Was okay. Next time I will order more traditional.

Inside, it has that classic old school bar vibe with wood accents, a few seats at the bar, and about eight tables. There's usually a TV on, but it's not overly loud. It feels like a neighborhood place with regulars, and I get the sense soccer fans love it here. (Or as it's called football) The outdoor seating, though, is where it's at when the weather's nice. Plenty of tables, perfect for people watching or just enjoying the view down Park Ave or Oxford Street. They offer beer on tap, cocktails, and even branded t-shirts and sweatshirts. Food can be ordered from a spot down the street I think it's Vasko's, and the bartender was friendly and helpful. You can pay per drink or run a tab. It's a small place, but a great option to walk to, grab a drink, hang outside, and just chill. Street parking is available, but if you're nearby, walking over is probably the easier option. I'll definitely be back.
