Bodega Bar & Kitchen

Celebrated our friends birthdays here last night and really enjoyed our experience! It seems like we were there at the perfect time - at the tail end of the dinner rush and then finished up as the bar crowd was filing in (they had a DJ set up by that point too). Our server even gave us a unique recommendation for where to head next and we had a lot of fun.

Really great spot to drink. Cocktails are great especially the margarita. Food is average

LOVE this spot! Started going here when the world started to open up. I've had almost everything on the menu at this point and EVERYTHING is super tasty. What really got me was the bartender Kelly she has the greatest energy and makes the BEST drinks I've had in the city. Some nights Johnny is there and he never disappoints either. My go to spot any day of the week!

I’m writing this review to warn others who were considering dining at this restaurant. Earlier this week, I had made a reservation at this restaurant for my 21st birthday celebration. I had made the decision of making a reservation for 13 people and wanted to make sure everything was set and ready to go since I knew it was larger party. Upon making the reservation, I realized I never received a confirmation email/text. Because of this, I called back and they informed me that they did not have my reservation and took my name down once again. I called and emailed once more to confirm and they said they had my reservation so I felt comfortable going in the next day. During both encouragers, the restaurant informed me that everything was all set and ready to go, so at this point i had received 2 verbal and 1 written confirmation 24 hours prior to my scheduled reservation. When I went in, the owner informed me that “they didn’t have my reservation” and that my reservation “should have never been made in the first place”. Keep in mind, I was met with tremendous hostility and lack of remorse (even after I showed clear proof of confirmation). The owner was unwilling to remedy the situation and only called back after we had already left to tell me that they had a spot for us (keep in mind this was about an hour after my scheduled reservation). Additionally, I had never given him my phone number upon arrival so the only way he had it was from the previous reservation I had made that he apparently “did not have on file”. With this being said, I would recommend avoiding this place at all costs. The owner is so insanely incompetent and should genuinely be ashamed of the way he treats his customers. It truly was the worst way to celebrate my 21st birthday, especially when there were so many other restaurant options that I had considered. I am writing this to not bash the business but rather warn people about the way in which this owner chooses to handle his business. The lack of accountability was appalling and incredibly disheartening. I truly do not wish this experience on anyone and I hope he learns from his actions.

Johnathan provided excellent service! The food was fresh, on time, and the service was friendly! I enjoyed happy hour, highly recommend.

I came here for brunch with two of my girlfriends on my birthday last Sunday. We had the sweetest server ( I am so sorry I forgot her name!). We asked for a drink that wasn't on the menu (Mango Jalapeno Margarita) and the bartender did an exceptional job making it! The food was flavorful and delicious and the staff was amazing. This will definitely be my new favorite brunch spot in the city!

Food was OK. Drinks were good, but they charged you for a liquor tax, restaurant tax, and service but couldn't explain why there were so many extra fees ! I will never return again. After the owners response: I know what the taxes are in the city and state. $15 extra dollars for nothing is foolish. I eat out in the city and never seen all of this. Plus the pork skewers were ALL HARD FAT !!!! Again, I will never return.

Food is absolutely delicious! I ordered a Cuban cigar and a strawberry margarita. I wasn’t expecting the Cuban cigar to be so big! It was so good and I absolutely loved my bartender she’s a doll! Having a great night thanks to your team 🤍

Food was great (chicken tacos were GOOD, not just okay!!), staff and atmosphere were lovely. They accommodated our very large group quite gracefully which is impressive on a Saturday night. My friends all enjoyed their cocktails, but this is where I’m docking a star - the n/a drink selection is lacking. Nothing on the menu itself is n/a, doesn’t list available soft drinks, etc. I did try a n/a daquiri and was very disappointed that it tasted like an artificial syrup, so I ordered a coke which was just a fountain drink in a plastic cup. Would love to see glass bottle Coca Cola or some intentional “mocktails” in the future!

Love the vibes and the experience, more importantly the bartender John! He was very welcoming and made the experience even better. Good drinks and good vibes are all I could ask for
