Fiorino's Lounge Inc — Restaurant in Santa Rosa

Used to live in the area and come here every once in a while and always had a great time. I was really excited when I stopped in Saturday afternoon for a drink or 2. Place looked nice but I waited almost 10 minutes for the bartender gal to get to me. It was kind of irritating because it wasn’t busy and she was just talking to her friend who she ended up taking a bathroom break together with before finally getting to me. I ordered a simple cran-vodka and she brought me a cranberry-pineapple-vodka. I saw her make it, and right away let her know that it was wrong. I’m glad I did because I have a severe allergy to pineapple. Strangely, she became aggressive like I did something wrong. Watching her remake my drink, it was evident that she perhaps had one too many while at work, especially since after making it she grabbed someone else’s drink from right in front of them and put it in front of me…it was a 1/2 drank beer!!! She was more upset this time and when she brought the drink over a bunch of it spilled. I decided to close out and have my drink away from her outside. No luck there because she brought me someone else’s $35 tab. Finally got my $6 tab, gave her my card only to get back someone else’s card. After about 5 minutes of watching her print about 20 tags to fix the error I got irritated. I decided to just drop a $10 bill, told her give me my card back, keep the change, I’m out. I got her name but don’t remember… Kelly or Keri or something, she was short, dark hair, large build. As a physician, I can’t stress enough how inappropriate and extremely unsafe it is to let your staff work under the influence. Especially as inebriated as she was. Unsafe for both her and every single guest. What if I didn’t watch her put pineapple in my drink? That would be really bad. I will not be coming back and will not recommend to anyone I know to go there because of the very drunk and hostile...

Saturday I stopped by for a beer around 7:30 while waiting for my laundry. As I walked in, I noticed something written in chalk on the chalkboard. The atmosphere felt a bit off, with patrons giving the "stop n stare" though it might have just been me. The crowd was a mix of Latinos and older White folks, and the wait staff didn't seem very welcoming. As a Black guy, I wasn't sure if that was a factor, but I drank my beer quickly and left.

Update: Your response fails to address the chalkboard message in your establishment. Now reading the other reviews it seems there's an issue with your patrons behavior, which the establishment condones. I shared this experience with my mixed-race friend today she also experienced the same when she entered folks turned and stared at her with a group of people. Her and the group decided to stay playing mariachi music on the jukebox, only to be asked to stop to avoid scaring...

Agree with other commentators, good prices and good pours and pretty good vibe. People bring food in and it's free on like Football Sundays. Really good. There's a little bit of a local uppitiness (so many people know each other) that can be a little off putting. For example, bartender won't look at you for an order when a "local "...
