Scarlett's Bar and Lounge

If I could do 0 stars I would. $8 for a corona!?!?? If you are not Asian, don't bother. They don't want you here

This is a dive bar  The drinks seam like they were water down and the beer was warm, service was ok but not with a smile I dont think I will be coming back soon I try it and I dont like it my friend and I had a lot better.

To the unknowing person with an untrained eye, Scarlett's might seem a little weird.

A previous review even said the Scarlett's experience may even be "crack" like. Hold on!! Before you go start selling your house and car for the Scarlett's high let me tell you how it really is.

First of all, Scarlett's is in the corner of small strip mall off of El Camino in Sunnyvale's K-town where Korean storefronts and signs line the street. However, a bright pink neon light glows Scarlett's sign in English  <a href="http://static3.px.yelp.com/bphoto/rSktu32cKx_IXMez7LSA3g/l">http://static3.px.yelp.c…</a>

I love the philanthropy, vibe, history, and personality of different bars and lounges. Sometimes, even more so than the alcohol. With that being said, as soon as my friend Clarence and I saw that  neon sign, we immediately put our hunger pains aside during a guys night out and pulled the eff over, anxious to see what lies through those doors.

Inside, it's very dark and leafy. Sort of looks like it may have previously been a tiki bar restaurant? There is a small bar with a few people but all the attention is centered around the live stage where there's a 2 man Korean band. Nope, no Scarlett Johannson's here.

Scarlett's is a refuge for older Korean expats. They love the band's  Korean cover songs as the small crowd of people enthusiastically claps and sings along. At one point, some people from the audience came up on stage and did a duet with the band playing the background. That's WHEN everyone was into it. Just like with the Japanese, karaoke to the Koreans isn't just a word, it's a way of life.

No one really spoke English at all but we still managed to point to the drink of choice while at the bar. A large Korean beer, Hite. It gets served to you in small glasses. They also have the very typical Asian liquors here (Hennesey, Remy, Crown) at typical high end Asian prices ($250 a bottle). Unfortunately, nothing they don't have a tap.

They also do offer food, $35 and $50 plates of various squids, sea creatures, and mammal meats being stewed in spicy Korean broths. Item's I haven't seen at other Korean restaurants. No kalbi, no bulgogi, no shoes, no shirt, no service.

You won't need a passport to get a Korean experience this legit, but I do recommend getting the large bottle of Hite beer. It's perfect to share and completes your Seoulful experience.
