These folks know how to have fun! Saturday night dancing till 2:00. Pool tables, full bar, the restaurant specialty appears to be giant pizza! I mean, HUGE lol. A fun, safe place with no cover the nights we've been.

Fun space for friends to get together and play some games - giant jenga, pool, etc. and also it turns into a dance floor at some point of the night unfortunately, I didn't stay that late to enjoy the dancing. The food is ok. I was hoping for better, but I wasn't super impressed. I ordered chicken wings and found them good at first. I was so hungry and was looking forward to a delicious meal. As I continued eating they were dripping in oil so the bottom wings were more soggy. I did stop eating then and didn't really want anything else after that. The staff is very aloof, they didn't stand out to me, they just went about doing their jobs because they have to. Not necessarily rude, but not necessarily nice either. I'm not sure that I would go back. It's quite of a dive for me and finding parking in that area is no fun either. But if a group of friends want to go, I'll probably just eat at home and just go for the entertainment.

Super fun bar for everyone - Lots of areas to chill/have a drink or dance. They play a lot of good reggaeton music but also pop music. Super pretty lighting inside, great for flash photos.

Amazing food, top tier service, great drinks... just make the time to come here. You'll be taken care of. This place is ready to make some noise. Get in before it blows up.

Great vibes, just come for a drink and music. I've been sitting here since a quarter 3. Food ordered but no food in front of me. $60 on 2 meals to be told the food ran out is WICKED! **sigh you know** I came from Vegas to get a good experience and this was sub par. Hire more people! Where is the manager? It doesn't even appear that someone is running this business. I haven't seen anyone walk around and ask am I ok or nothing. I sat and ordered at 2:40p and it's now 4:29p I have nothing. I'm highly irritate and will be pursuing disputing the charge. Don't waste your time ordering food here. Come for the vibes and let it be that! Food WOULD NOT RECOMMEND VIBES 7/10 would recommend -sincerely a Cali/Vegas Girlie

I ordered 6 shots for my group and my wife closed the tab without me knowing. I went to go close it out and they ended up charging us twice, even though the barber knew we were all together. Pretty sure we went on a weekday so there could have been no mix up.... Especially since we were sitting right in front of the bar. Lame.

Edit: They have now responded to my Google review negating my claim and accusing me of conduct unbecoming so I'm sure they will be doing that here soon as well, I've attached my response below my initial review. If I could give it 0 stars, I would! I actually really enjoyed this place the first time I came but picture this! Recently, I went in with my latinx partner and his cousins and friends. I needed to relieve myself but when I attempted to enter the womxns restroom, it was about to be cleaned and closed. As a womxn has thrown up in the SINK. I have a severe phobia of vomit and I was just about sent over the edge with that ‍ SO, I asked my partner to see if the mens restroom was clear so I could use the locked stall. (The employee about the hopefully clean the womens bathroom said 'oh yeah is a mess [in the ladies room]". I did my quick business with my partner guarding the door and was shocked to hear violent BANGING on the stall door. I told whoever it was that I was just finishing up and to please give me a second (was relieving myself all of 2min). Banging continued and I opened the door pretty frustrated. At that, I guess the 'security' guards assumed I was doing more than relieving myself in those 2 minutes and so they proceeded to place hands on me and my boyfriend and basically drag us out of the bathroom. I pleaded with them to understand that I am just terrified of vomit and REALLY needed to pee and we were met with aggression and rage. I told them not to touch me or my partner and we continued to be pushed out until I was literally, physically pushed onto the ground outside of the bar with the two 'security' shooting me middle fingers and unkind names for women. There was ONE 'guard' who came out and spoke with us and apologized and whatnot but as somebody who does not wholeheartedly believe/trust in the police, I will be calling them tomorrow about two of their 'guards'. I've trained Brazilian jiu jitsu for about 5 years and I would never say men should 'avoid' fighting women. I also think sometimes whatever treatment beligerent and drunk patrons recieved is warranted. HOWEVER, as I had not even had a single drink there (not allowed to drink the single one I ordered as I was dragged out); I do feel this treatment was EXTREMELY unwarranted. Again, tomorrow I will be contacting authorities, even if just to let them know tht luckily I am used to getting tossed around and whatnot in jiu jitsu but SOME women won't be; and the next time their rent-a-cops do that to a woman, it may not end so calmly. UPDATE*** They have responded to my email and this review with false statements and unprofessional language. Because their people overserved someone, the womens restroom was closed. I needed to do my business and was in that stall for no more than 60sec. I did take my partner there to stand at the door because I did not want to be in a men's restroom alone. There was absolutely no 'sexual activity' going on in that singular minute (nor would there have been ever, either), BUT I do see how they could have thought that and I understand. However, I DID have hands places on me in the restroom before I was shoved out and ultimately shoved on the ground outside of the bar. There was no calm or even vocal 'this is why you need to leave', in fact their 'security' guard ignored me completely except to push my partner and I around and out. I was not intoxicated and had not yet even had a single sip of my drink. Their 3rd security guard actually apologized profusely to me and said his buddy 'shouldn't have done that'. In fact, if you look at other Google reviews, you can see their 'security' has gotten physical with people on more than one occasion. He also always wears a ski mask....I wonder why? Perhaps to hide under? I did go back and ask for those guards' names and when the bartender refused to give them to me, I asked for their managers name. They also refused to give me this stating they were not authorized. I do understand the misunderstanding and apologize that they believed something unbecoming was happening in the restroom but with the womens restroom closed, I needed to relieve myself. And regardless, security placing hands on me and shoving me down to the concrete is unacceptable

This review is for Brunch Szn being hosted by Baila bar on the weekends. This was my 1st time, I have to say the worst service in all my years in WA. Which by the way is 24 years. Our server (j.Raquel) didn't put our order for food in, so we waited over an hour for breakfast food. Each time I ordered a drink it took over 30 minutes to get. I finally went to the bar and got it myself. I asked the manager if the order had even been put in and she said no and made it for me right there she was very sweet. My food was completely over done and dry. The server was completely aloof, I'm guessing because they have auto grad. She never checked on us. Cute location but terrible service!

It pains me to leave this review because I had really high hopes for this place because of the other reviews on here but wow. Worst customer service ever and the drink was not pleasant. Also it was kinda empty but they started blasting the music a little crazy loud just randomly out of no where and no one was dancing so why is beyond me. Do not plan on going back but hopefully it was just a bad day for the bartender cause wow it was undrinkable.

I came here to watch the Mexico Venezuela match of the Copa America, and it was AWESOME! The bar is well set up to watch the soccer games, and the food is amazing. We had fried, yuca fries, and my friend ordered the eggplant burger. It was amazing. We will definitely be coming back to watch more soccer.
