The Bosco

I'm not sure about this place...I can say that I wouldn't want to spend a entire evening here. It's just not that comfortable of a venue where you'd want to, but it's not a bad spot to grab a cocktail or two midstream. They make a decent drink here and the ambiance while hit and miss depending on the crowd, the night and the time can be fun as long as you're with entertaining company. That said, the guitar player Saturday was a nice surprise but he seemed to cut his set early so I'm guessing it was about to turn into Miami Vice after we left. But for a another spot to check out while bar hopping this place has it's moments.

Came here on a Thursday night this week and I was impressed. The place was relatively quiet - but we got there around 8:00. I had the white chocolate raspberry and the Snickers martinis. Both were amazing! A little too expensive for someone of my financial status, but it's nice for a little treat once in a while. Our sever was friendly, helpful, and prompt. The patio left a little to be desired, but the weather was beautiful so I wasn't too bothered with aesthetics. The live music inside was a little too loud, hence the reason we chose to sit on the patio.

Used to come here pretty often with the crew a few years ago. It was always a cool place to chill with friendly staff accommodating guests, making great suggestions from specialty drinks they were excited for people to try out and enjoy their evening. Kind of felt like that really awesome place that only you and your buddies knew about. We would meet tons of girls there mostly because you can actually lounge around and have conversations with other people. Good times back then.

Went back for a birthday gathering and W-T-F happened to this place?? Doorman man making it difficult to get in, the place was half empty and this is a very small place mind you. When he decided we could meet with our group inside it was like a bad club scene trying desperately to look cool. Get over it, you're in Ferndale and not New York. No disrespect to Ferndale because the city is actually really cool but you know what I mean. Anyway, the place is filled with douchey dudes that think they're trendy and hot stuff. The females there seemed to be receptive to such men so I guess they may be doing something right for themselves...

Drinks took forever to get back to us. They were not correct, and they were clearly watered down or definitely not the top shelf premium brands we ordered. We drink frequently and we know better, get real. The bill was wrong and they couldn't fix it on the computer so the waitress went back to ring in the bill all over again and I don't even know what she came back with. The poor girl seemed flustered and complained like this was all nothing new. We threw down cash after it sounded like the bill was kind of right and we left around 12 to get some food next door.

Some of the people that were there for the birthday were who I used to go with to The Bosco back in the day when it was a great spot and they said it came under new ownership and has been declining since. What a waste.
