Unprecedented Disappointment at "Mi barra bar" Compels First-Time Review

As someone who typically refrains from writing reviews, I find myself compelled to break my silence due to the profoundly unsatisfactory experience at "Mi barra bar." My visit there was disturbing not just in terms of service, but in the ethical conduct expected from any reputable business.

Upon ordering a simple glass of mineral water, I was shocked to find it priced at $8—nearly as expensive as a $9 tap beer. Moreover, the glass was substantially filled with ice, further diminishing the value. This pricing strategy not only seems unreasonable but also raises serious questions about the integrity of the establishment's pricing system.

When I requested a menu or price list to verify these costs, I was informed that no such documentation was available. This absence of visible pricing is not only unprofessional but also legally dubious. In California, it is a requirement under the California Retail Food Code, Section 114259.5, for establishments to provide customers with a clearly visible price list, ensuring transparency and customer awareness.

The receipt I received at the end of my visit further compounded these concerns. It lacked clarity, failing to itemize the charges clearly, which made it impossible to understand exactly what I was being billed for. This practice of not providing a detailed and clear receipt violates California’s laws on business transparency and could be seen as deliberately misleading.

Given these experiences, I am seriously considering legal action against such malpractice. This is not just about recovering a few dollars but about holding a business accountable for fair and transparent dealings.

To those reading this review, I urge you to think twice about patronizing a business that allows such dubious practices. Supporting an establishment that fails to uphold basic legal and ethical standards contributes to a culture of dishonesty and undermines...

My boyfriend and I are regulars at this bar. We love the environment and music is always a vibe. We decided to take my mother here since she loves rock en espanol. The vibes were vibing to say the least until a group that was next to us decided to start problems. The girl very much drunk kept pushing us i let it go until she decided to push me then my mom, she turned around to yell at moms so I obviously jumped in cuz hello you're not going to try and fight moms. Fight broke out the male that was in this group hit a bunch of other girls then the security on duty that night grabbed me where tbh i thought he was going to throw me on the floor when i kept trying to tell him he could just tell me to leave there was no need to him to squeeze me when i wasn't aggressive with him, since in if the person isnt resisting you there no need to be overly aggressive in trying to escort someone out of a place, the security left bruises on my arm from how tight he was squeezing. A whole bunch of girls ran out that night to tell him that the male in that group physically hit them and he simply didn't care enough about that. Moral is a male can hit a bunch of girls and not get physically thrown out but if you try to defend yourself as a female you get thrown out.... Como...

Honestly wanted to give this 5+ stars but due to my experience I felt it deserved -1 * let me start off with how amazing this place is and the atmosphere and the music is crazy amazing! But the bartender needs hella improvement and was highly unprofessional her name was Sonya or to tonia I’m not sure had hair to her shoulders. Highly unprofessional, rude and I could tell I wasn’t the only one who felt sick after drinking the drink she had made me after getting on her bad side. Cameras need to be watched. Serve warning to not order open drinks around her to be safe. Her actions could cause a lawsuit for the bar itself hopefully the issue at hand...
