California Bar

Restaurant Bar Mexican restaurant

😠 The menu says Happy hour 1+1 until 9pm we ordered 8 beers at 8:30 and were told at 9:30 we would not receive the second round as happy hour is only until 9. Every place I have ever been to never operates like this as long as you order before happy hour ends you get the benefits. The Owner came out,... People often mention nice, cocktails, good, music, service, hour, drinks, Great,

    The owner has no idea what is customer service and lost 8 customers with just one interaction. Very inconsiderate and rude. None of us will ever come back here again there are Tons of other better bars to go to that you should give your money to. Thumbs down.

    1. Owner was absurdly rude. We expressed the confusion with his limited explanation on the menu and all he had to say was “no, I will not give you the second drink”. Nonidea how to keep customers happy or better yet retain them. 2. I asked for a large meal and got suggested a taco that was basically cut in half. I had to order two to feel semi full. 3. After the whole confusion. They “charged” us for the happy hour drinks making it seem like we got them. Go elsewhere. Trust

    Cocktails were great but the food was so so. Located in the Lewinsky market area, typically very lively during the weekdays.

    Weird vibe in the top floor, owner only cares about his friends, don’t bother asking to request a song even though he lets his friends run the music. Really odd experience, lots of better places in the area. Owner almost forced us to buy a very expensive drink to compensate for the fact that no one was there. NYC/Billy Joel rule, get some taste.

    Great bar, cocktails were 10/10 and service was perfect. Food was cheap (in comparison to Tel Aviv) and delicious. Wasy to spot from outside because of all the lights the bar has

    Been there many times last summer when the atmosphere was nice and interesting.. it was mostly because of the music, now unfortunately it’s not like this, music is too loud and it’s basic. Before you could really feel you’re in some special, secret place. I really hope they will come back to the style they had before. Cocktails are nice, interesting menu.

    What a great hospitality! Even though the place might give you the feel of a hipster-staff-vibe, well, that's a mistake. We were welcomed so nicely, the staff and the bartender especially were amazing, not pushy, very helpful, super nice. Great vibe! Good music, not too loud, pretty people around. Loved both cocktails and food! Will definitely come back again.

    I went there on happy hour time and cocktails has a discount but food didn't Both cocktails were good and the nachos were very tasty! The nachos were a little small in my opinion and we added meat and came with only a little of it The place overall was very nice and chill, not packed with people

    Super helpful staff. Super good cocktails with a Mexican twist. Try the Baja, you won't regret. They have one bar downstairs - we enjoyed some old school funk and some movie (my fav was Tarantino -oldies but Goldie's) they were projected on the building across the street. Upstairs is another bar, and if the terrace closes you can enjoy another drink there.

  • 4/5 Tal S. 2 years ago on Google
    Yum. Not the first place I would think to go to for mexican food but I was very pleasantly surprised. Quesadilla with asado was bomb.com. Fat and cheesy and perfectly toasted. Feel free to attempt burritos cause no one else in tel aviv knows how to do them.

  • 5/5 Zoe B. 2 years ago on Google
    Yummy creative cocktails and delicious asado tacos. Not many places do tacos right in Israel, but this place does.

  • 5/5 Orel M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great vibes, one of the best places in Tel-Aviv.

  • 5/5 osher b. 2 years ago on Google
