Why Not Lounge

Reviews & Tips

• 0

  The ¿Que no? is what I call it. It's a scummy little joint near the freeway in a not so nice neighborhood. The beers on tap suck, the clientele is scary, and the cocktails are made by untrained staff. Overall this place should be closed and burned to the ground. No standing structure should live after enduring some of the patron's antics and lack of hygiene.
  
  Then why two stars? It's one of the first bars I ever went to, so of course I'm going to have some affection for this dump. Sometimes a Mariachi band will roam through which always makes me do a double take(in a good way). Sometimes I end up here because it's close to the freeway, and makes for an easily meeting spot.
  
  Overall though, I wouldn't recommend anyone come here. Not even my worst enemies.

  "Why not Lounge" is hidden in plain sight in a decrepit corner commercial strip  just off A st. all the commercial tenants, even pizza,  caters to the mexican populace. it wasn't surprising  "why not lounge"  does also.
  
  music: rock
  flatscreen: mexican videos
  
  asked for a gin-tonic and the bartender started looking for the gin. not surprising she couldn't find it.
  
  drink:
  - modelo beer(4)
  nice and cold with lime and salt
  -negra modelo (free)
  free tasted good.
  
  happy hour:
  -6-7, buy one, get one free, (no one told me but i saw the shot glass in front of me)
  -interracial mix: whites, blacks, mexicans, asian,,,,,
  -sign on wall: "fighting not tolerated here".
  -parking lot cramped and very small.
  -mexican bars have no well drinks, just straight shots and beer.
  -3.5 stars for happy hour, otherwise drinks pricey...

  Interesting place.  The signs that say "Fighting will not be tolerated" seemed out of place.   The place is a "hole in the wall" but looks worse from the outside.  
  
  Bartender didn't know that they had NA beer . . . until I saw it in the 'fridge and had to guider her to it.  But hey, she's cute . . .

  What a nice little hole-in-the-wall bar.  Pool tables, TVs and jukebox.
  
  What's best is that they have happy hour for an hour (6pm - 7pm) - buy one get one free for beers!  
  
  There's a pizza place in the same little plaza that you can order from and they will deliver it to you at the bar!  The bar doesn't mind - in fact, they even took the box and disposed it.  :)
  
  It's a little on the "ghetto" side, so I would recommend going with a group of friends.

  I love the bartenders that work there, especially the man with the long brown curly hair and the hazel eyes! He makes the best drinks and is a very interesting person who is always there to lend an ear to my bathroom problems. I think the bartender said his name was Mieko G...
  
  The place itself is totally dive, but I'm not a classy girl so i don't mind at all! It's a little off the beaten path and but it's close to my school, so that's always a plus.  The drinks there are cheaper than Mieko G, so you get more drunk for your buck! Whoo hoo!
