Review Summary

Nhau bar is widely regarded as a unique and intimate destination known for its impressive decor, Tiki-inspired aesthetic, and exceptional cocktails. Many visitors praise the skillful bartenders for their ability to balance complex flavors, while the food offerings, particularly the crispy broccoli and Pad Thai, receive high marks for quality and presentation. While the service is often highlighted as attentive, friendly, and accommodating, some guests have noted inconsistencies in the hosting experience and occasionally challenging environments. The music and vibrant atmosphere are frequently celebrated as highlights, although several patrons have reported that the volume levels later in the evening can become disruptive, occasionally overshadowing the otherwise cozy and welcoming lounge experience.

Great bar, great food (main dishes & entree). Very good service (i think her name is Mathis). If you don't know what you want, she'll know what to suggest based on preferences. A friend requested a mocktail off the menu & it was very tasty. Went for a birthday with 6 people & it was a vibe.

C'était la première fois pour moi & mon ami au nhâu speakeasy. Nous avions l'intention de manger & de prendre un vers tout en travaillant calmement chacun de notre côté sur des projets sur ordinateur portable & de couture à la main, ce que nous aurions désiré.

Malheureusement, après plusieurs minutes d'attente à la réception sans que personne ne vienne, nous avons dû essayer d'attirer l'attention d'un membre du personnel pour être installés.

Nous avons partagé à la responsable, qui fut la première à venir vers nous, nos intention de manger, prendre un vers & travailler. Celle-ci nous répliqua d'un ton condescendant que cela était'inadmissible' dans son genre d'établissement pour des raisons qu'elle justifia par :'It's not a cafe'. Cet accueil fût plutôt hostile à notre égard.

On nous dirigea vers la table la plus près de l'entré alors que la salle était presque vide. La responsable nous parlait majoritairement en anglais, la tête baissée vers son téléphone, ce qu'elle fit à plusieurs reprises, sans même nous regarder… & en ne mettant qu'un seul menu sur la table.

D'autre part, la serveuse qui nous pris en charge nous offris un service poli. Le pad thaïlandais au porc & crevettes ainsi que la soupe coco tom yum furent excellent. Chapeau pour l'équipe en cuisine.

Nous ne sommes rester que le temps de manger & payer nos plats, ni plus ni moins, ne prenant aucun breuvage étant-dis-que nous ne nous sentîmes pas les bienvenus. Le comportement de la responsable ne nous donna pas le goût de rester davantage. Dommage puisque l'endroit dégage une ambiance au contraire si intime & privée. Sur ce, ce seras une dernière.

Sometimes, all you need is a great night with friends! & it's perfect when delicious food is served! From Pad Thai, salmon, Bao buns, to incredible drinks, eveything was… Yum!
With lots of laughs & a few too many cocktails, the ambiance was buzzing! Thanks to the staff & the amazing music from a top DJ Francisco!

Drinks are amazing & well-priced! Our servers were really kind & chill. One of the top speakeasy/cocktail bars that I have been to - wasn't too crazy but very fun.

Was super excited to go here on the long weekend, & the entrance was amazing; walking down the stairs was awe-inspiring, & the place (downstairs) was beautiful.

However, the sound volume was so loud that we had to leave after a few minutes. Didn't even get a chance to order a drink.

Note to the DJ - louder does not mean better (you were wearing headphones). I feel sorry for the staff hear - must have ear ringing for days.
