Festive hangout offering poke bowls & sandwiches by day, specialty martinis & dancing by night.
101 Bar has a distinctly rustic, old-school charm with a wonderfully rough-around-the-edges atmosphere. Their late hours were a lifesaver after a long day of driving. The absence of a drink menu was slightly confusing, but the overall vibe made up for it. The Baja Maki delivered impressive heat while maintaining excellent preparation and presentation. Though no chopsticks were provided, it didn't detract from the experience. The balanced presentation spoke for itself. The Seared Ahi Tuna was notably salty, which somewhat masked the quality of the fish preparation. Despite this, it still delivered a powerful punch of flavor. The fish itself appeared well-prepared, though the saltiness made it difficult to fully appreciate.
Nice. Not overly fancy but still really nice. Bar service and cocktail creation was professional and friendly. When we arrived it was almost empty so I wrongly assumed something was wrong with the place but was pleasantly surprised at every turn and the place was hopping by the time we left. Good food and decent prices tend to put people in a good mood. I think my favorite thing was my last drink out on the sidewalk patio in the middle of summer.
Toilet, Women, 1 of 2 stalls “Out of Service”. Stench apparent beginning at edge of bar by the hall shared to the kitchen & dining room. Toilet itself is full of Poop and small Flies. Water is turned off. Bartender said that the owners have been told numerous times and Don’t Care. The first level of correction takes 15 minutes. (Remove the poop using gloved hands, with a plastic bag on each hand, AND A MASK ON FACE, and then put it in the garbage can. I think this would need to be done twice. Next, bucket flush, then use chemicals & toilet brush, followed by a bucket flush.). This would remove the health hazard of standing poop, the flies that are in the poop, and which I saw where I sat at the bar. No photos. Too disgusting.
Ordered burger and fries and 16 wings to go. Told me it was going to be a 35 minute wait once I put my order in, after 40 minutes, I went inside and they made me wait an additional 15 mins for my food. Wings were small and overcooked. Some of them were fried too hard to even bite into. Burger was drowning in mayonnaise and ketchup and bun was soggy. Fries like they were from the frozen section out of Walmart. I’m trying to be nice with review. I expected better.
Emmett, Emmett, he's our man. If he can't do it, the hipster making our sushi can! The food and drinks were in point. Love this place.
