Torino Lounge

I used to go a lot on Fridays because the Banda they have there is the best! We celebrated my husbands, mine, my cousin, my best friend and my sister’s birthday through out the entire year. Every time we would go until the last time for my sisters birthday when we realized that they had new security which are clearly not qualified to be security (police rejects) who get mad for no damn reason and pepper spray women who do not even pose a threat to them. Bathrooms are horrible and never working. Security is dancing with the waitresses instead of waiting on tables. To be honest I used to love going to this place but because of the bad customer service and security thinking they are cops I am NEVER going back there!!! SMH

It was halloween day and my wife and I wanted to go out… our comadre invited us here and made reservations for 4…
Wow!!!
That table was a peeuny, no way was I going to sit my wife there… we stand and right away we were force to order, my wife a mix drink that didn’t have almost any alcohol due to my wife. For her to say that means a lot, because she really doesn’t drink. I order a Corona since they didn’t have much to choose from.
The place is small and I mean small, anyways right away I ask what would I to buy to get one of the VIP’S. a bottle they said, «Sold!!» I wanted my wife to have a good time… man the place was reserved and still giving to us… a big no no! If I reserved the spot I was giving to someone else I would of been piss…
Well we sat and man I almost fell right in where I sat… LoL! A huge hole in the cushion. we shine it off and sat in a good spot. $ 165. Battle of Bucana 12 a minute after 10pm they said since it was order after 10pm it was going to be $ 165 that if I would of ordered it before 10pm it would of been $ 100… gosh it wax a minute after. But still, I gave in.
Just wanted to have fun… my compadre and comadre arrived and my disappointed past, we drank and the booze did it’s job… the Jg was ok, the live band ok too you can say…
The bathrooms, o no… nasty, dirty gross… but again we order a second bottle of bucana and well it did it’s job again…
Over all we made it fun cause that how we are, and thanks to the booze, but really not so much recomendable… don’t know if I posted anything good while we in there cause of the booze doing its job but as solver I don’t see myself coming back here.

I went for my cousin bday on a Friday
It was Banda night
& I LOVED IT !
Yes parking is small
Place is small
Bathroom weren’t all that we’ll kept up but ok
But Banda was awesome ! Singer would walk around and high five, take pic. & sing ! It was like a mini concert :)
Def going back on a Friday
$ 10 covered charge

In love with this place. Service was excellent and the drinks superb. There’s a lot of variety in terms of alcohol, and the crowd is pretty pleasing (young adults) would definitely recommend this place. Give it a shot!

Awful place!!! We payed for valet parking… And my friend’s car got towed away!!! Becareful. I had to give a star to post ugh!

I really had high expectations for this place although it’s very small business something made me feel like this place was not going to let me down. I arrive. Ten dollar parking. Yes you can park in the street but of course at your own risk. Ok I get it. Ten dollar entrance for each person. we were celebrating a cousins birthday still spent money on two bottles and a couple buckets of beer. There is absolutely no AC unless your standing by the bar. I understand it’s a business and they got to get their money some how but for a place like this parking and entrance c’mon. It’s about the size of a decent two bedroom if that. Maybe if they could offer some AC included with entrance or something fuck man.

Went to this place last night. It’s my 2^nd time here, first time I was here was a year ago. I like this place. Really good music, it was a cover band for Spanish Rock, while the band took a break a good DJ was playing. The crowed is good, chill, drama free. We were drinking draft beer from here since that what me and my girl like to drink. The draft beer had something to it, it wasn’t that good. The only reason why we were drinking draft was so my girl can drink Michelob Ultra, n I was drinking Pacifico. I wouldn’t recommend the draft brews. One big thing that ruined my night. We were sitting down on a high table, right next to a post. We were talking and I was leaning towards my girl. The freaking top of the table flips up and the drinks spill all over me. My jeans n my new $ 400 shoes got soaked. I was Pis**d!!! The place is trying to cut corners n not replacing a table. If you haven’t noticed, it ruined my night. If it wasn’t for this, it probably would’ve received 4stars. I will go back, for the music, but make sure i wear tennis shoes. Lol

Last night was my first time in this place, I guess is my fault I should of read the reviews before going because I could of saved myself the troubles and gone elsewhere. But that’s what happens when you wanna try out a new place. In a short brief sentence. This place sucks.
1) Valet parking lot was full had to park across the street.
2) As soon as we got there we decided to sit by the bar since we saw two empty seats there. Since we didn’t «RSVP» we didn’t have a place to sit by the «dance floor». All the tables were taken and/​or reserved. So we get to the bar this girl I think she was a bartender looked at me and my bf with a disgruntled face because we decided to sit by the bar in which, let me point out ONLY HAD 2 CHAIRS TO SIT.
(So if you like sitting by the bar area. Sorry, but there’s only 2 seats).
I tried to brush it out thinking, hey maybe I was over reacting but nope I was right.
Since I wasn’t provided a menu. And I didn’t know what types of special drinks they had. Again, my first time here. I asked her if there was any mix drinks in which she replied sarcasticly saying «ummm yes we have a full bar» (rolled her eyes). Yes really, she gave me her stupid attitude. Treated me like an ignorant individual. So I was like «yeah I can see that, don’t you have a MENU I CAN see» (with her pessimistic attitude she went to go grab me one).
I then saw the choice of drinks suck. Nothing good, I didn’t even wanna ask what she would recommend. Afraid I was going to be given more attitude. So I ordered a plain draft beer.
BTW-​prices are,
$ 10 entrance fee.
Beers are $ 6. (Bottled or Draft) same price.
Mix drinks are $ 9.
3) No food. When I was looking at the menu I noticed they had a couple (four appetizers) to be honest none seam appealing but I was hungry. So I asked a different bartender a guy if I could have an order of «torino bread» in which he replied «sorry hon we don’t serve food Saturdays and we don’t have food right now I can check if we have some leftover ceviche». He did come back saying there was leftover ceviche from, I’m guessing a previous day meal. But I told him thank you, but no it’s ok.
No variety. No food. No great customer service. No parking lot. My first time here and already I’m not coming back here. There’s simply nothing appealing in this place. Nothing to keep me coming back.
Oh and 4) dirty & stinky bathrooms.
My advice is don’t come here. Unless, you like to be given dirty and snobby attitude by the girl bartender and even the waitresses. Also, they constantly ask if you wanna purchase more drinks. I guess it’s a way to kick you out. If you’re not buying they pretty much show you the door.
I did see one waitress that was actually sweet but all the other ones I swear. If you don’t like your job, simply don’t work here. And stop ruining it for the customers that come in here. Rude. And give people menus to see their options do not expect people to know your MENU.
I’m giving this place two stars. One star for the band that was playing. Rock en espanol band. They did suck in the beginning. But afterwards and with a couple of draft beers in my system. They were alright. The second star for the guy bartender who was actually nice. That’s it. Nothing more.

Love this place my second time here and let’s just say awesome drinks at good prices and lots of eye candy especially the bartenders a must try place especially if you like rock en español & top 40 with some cumbias the only downside are the bathrooms that’s the reason for the 4 star but everything else is good

Went here for the first time last night and LOVED it great live band, great employees very nice and very good drinks for a great price which is a big plus on my book & bartenders are on point everyone was sweet & nice especially Dora, Rick & Albert I will definitely be coming back here with more peeps and as for the 1 less star parking and bathrooms suck so yeah arrive early so you don’t have to pay a cover too which is 10 bucks

I met up with some friends who were celebrating a birthday this past Saturday. Arrived around 11pm or so and there was a cover charge for us. Big no no. Music was good, we had a table and drinks were flowing but that cover charge has got to go.
Another big no no. The restroom was beyond disgusting. I read a previous reveiw from many months ago and it was the same situation. She even provided us with a few photos for our viewing pleasure. Bottom line, I would not go back to this establishment.

Been there twice and so far its been a good time… birthday celebrations have been a total success! Music is good drinks a little pricey but of you are down for a good time… you wont regret this place.

I absolutely LOVED this place! I’m not the type to go to a place that has banda but this year for my bday I wanted to try a new place. I had the most fun and so did all my friends. I read the reviews & saw a lot of negative ones but still went. I think that it all depends on the group of people you go with to make the night fun! I had rsvp the waitress was nice/​friendly she kept coming back making sure we were kk never did she pressure us to keep buying drinks like some reviews mentioned. Banda Bajadora

If you live to hear great live music — this is the place to be. Their house band plays on Thursday and Saturday nights. With alternating DJ. Feed back rock is their house band playing the hottest Rock en espanol — they play thee best cover songs ! They do have other special guest cover bands that also get booked for thurs nights — so add them to your facebook for notifications. I have seen cover bands featuring live music by Depeche Mode (my fav band EVERR), U2, no doubt, lady gaga, offspring, the doors, the cure, heroes del silencio, caifanes, el tri, y muchos mas!!!
Friday nights is Banda night. Usually not my thing — but I can appreciate great live music any kind ! Their tapas are amazingly fresh and cooked to order. Bruschetta, shrimp boats, sliders, flat bread pizza marguerita… Are bomb ! Bdays are always welcome with prior RSVP, VIP booth With bottle service, guest list in free before 930pm. Mixed Drinks are served well & chilled. Wine lover? Bring it on! Draft or bottle beer? They got it! Que mas kieres? Valet parking? They got it ;)
My only complaint? Bathrooms can use some love — an attendant? Like they do at some other clubs ?? something !! And an AC would not hurt. My love to the owner and staff for always greeting us with a smile!

My friends & I went this Saturday (12÷6÷14) to celebrate a bday. These are the reasons I’m giving it –1 star. The parking is terrible & the valet fills up quickly. There’s a cover charge for woman, which regardless how much it is, its ridiculous. The waitresses, with the exception of 1, were freaking rude, stuck up & inattentive. The dance floor is small & they reserve all the tables so your S.O.L. If you want to sit down. Last but not least, the woman’s restroom was DISGUSTING. The ONLY good thing about this place was the cover band & the DJ. We’ll take our $$$ elsewhere & so should you.

If I could give this place no stars for their customer service I would! I’m here constantly with over 13 people every time… Thursday to see my boyfriend’s band perform and many Friday’s for banda night.
Tonight, nov 07 2014, we were celebration my brother-in-law’s birthday. We had a full 12 people table reserved! The waitress came and asked if we wanted Drinks twice in less than 15min, after the second time we told her we were waiting for more people she took the liberty to go and tell the event promoters that our table wasn’t consuming and demanding to kick us out and get people that wanted bottle service.
1. We made a reservation and just because we were missing 3 people they kept bugging us that if they didn’t arrive they were going to take a table away. 3 missing people out of 15!
2. The waitress kept telling the promoters we weren’t consuming. JUST BECAUSE WE WERENT LETTING HER GET OUR DRINKS!!! She was rude, who wants her service?!
3. Our table was packed with beer, drinks and a beer bucket we had just bought.
4.they kept going to our table threading us to take it back for someone else.
5. My sister was so upset they made our night miserable she cried because they ruined her plans
6. SO UNPROFESSIONAL! That waitress needs some customer service lessons!
We complaint to the owner and didn’t do anything about it!
LAST TIME I EVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE OR EVEN GO! QUIEN MANDA LA MUGRE MESERA O EL DUEÑO?!?

I called a couple days before I planned on going to Torino for Banda Friday to celebrate my birthday. I made my reservation through Sergio and I told him I was celebrating my birthday and wanted to reserve for 10 people. Overall great experience and fun time. I got bottle service and it was great service. The waitresses kept checking in on us to make sure we were doing fine. Banda Bajadora gets down and it was a nice touch that they congratulated me for my birthday. I even asked g or a few songs and they played them. I will definitely be back. I never write reviews but such a good experience.
If i could change one thing it would be to have banda Bajadora play more because they are really good.

Celebrated my comadre’s birthday last Friday Night had a blast. Her husband reserved a section for about 20 of us a week prior. Prices on Bottle service very reasonable Remy 160, Ciroq 100 for first bottle. We got in free before 10. Our waitress was very attentive made sure drinks were always full. The birthday girl got to go up on stage while they sang mananitas to all birthday people and made them take shots.
Only complaint is the place is small and not sure if there is AC they had a big ass fan blowing on stage got a bit warm inside. Although Small provided a more intimate setting not overly crowded. DJ was ok could have been better. The banda was really good we enjoyed having them at our table all night, they played your favorite song or corrido at 10 bucks a pop.
Overall the birthday girl had a blast we had a blast what more can I say.

I walked in here for one drink during happy hour.
Their happy hour is pretty dope. EVERY beer is $ 3. On tap, bottled, anything. I tried their IPA but was dissappointed because it was only 6.5% Alc/​Vol. It was called ‘Big Daddy’ and it was from San Francisco. Which explained why it was such a weak ass beer. Avoid this one.
I knocked off a star because the nice/​super chill bartender punked me into having too many drinks.
What started out as a $ 7 tab ended up being $ 49.
But it was Friday and I was just happy the work week was over.
Fast forward to Monday and I realize I shouldn’t have wasted my monies.
This lounge is quite large. I haven’t checked this place out at night and at some point I will… but I’m sure it’s not bad.

My New lunch Spot! This is where my shrimp salad was before I inhaled it! It was fresh n shrimp was cooked to perfection
Summer Breeze Martini! Really??? One word. Wow!
