Best Bars And Lounges in El Cajon / Lakeside

Made a reservation for galentines dinner in the lemon patio and had a great time! The lemon patio is so cute and there are heating lamps to help keep you warm. Our server Marco C and the other staff members were very attentive! Even the hostess (I didn’t get her name but she had a lot of tattoos) was so sweet and offered to take pictures of our group for us. The food was fantastic! Since it was happy hour we got a lot of appetizers… we tried the calamari, truffle fries, garlic knots, oysters, brussel sprouts, and cheese wheel pasta! Everything was so good. The only one I wasn’t a fan of was the garlic knots. For my entree I had the Bolognese and that was very tasty! For drinks I tried the aperol spritz and it was yummy! Made me feel like I was back in Italy. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and come back!

This is a truly weird place and it is magnificent! Vaudeville-style entertainment, wall-to-wall and ceiling projections and a vibe that is nowhere else to be found. Service is sold. Drinks are about $15 each and it’s a blast.

I did not eat the food, so It is not a 100% accurate reading but it looked good, vibes were good and the dj was loud, nice spot to either start the night or if you stay in the hotel its a nice bar to hit.

Unfortunately went during the rain. Definitely hard to enjoy everything but it was the best it possibly could be with the situation. Everyone was very nice and tried their best to make the best of the situation. I would definitely recommend but go on a sunny day for sure

Happy hour looked like a great deal! We sat at the bar while waiting for our table. It’s such a treat coming here. Service is always impeccable. The spaghetti squash dish was sincerely out of this world. We split a steak and the squash and it was amazing. The Caesar salad had an anchovy across the top it looked intimidating but I tested it was not prepared for it to be such a good addition. Usually it’s minced into the dressing and is well covered. We went to Eddy V’s the night before. (Which was really good) But Hands down Island Prime for the win.
