PILAR BAR

Great comedy. Open mike night. Lots of fun

Visited Bar Pilar for Valentine's Day this year, and we were pretty disappointed. The atmosphere was cozy, but the music was quite loud, and the service was slow. The Hemingway Daiquiri was the highlight of our order, but other cocktails were too strong. Our server was nice and was helping almost every table, which was surprising given it was a busy night. The sandwiches we ordered (Cubano & fried chicken sandwich) tasted okay for the price, but unfortunately they were cold when they got to us.

We came for brunch and the food was pretty good. The drinks were great but I ordered 3 St. Germains Spritz and they were all completely different. Service was okay but we all felt like the server was aware there was a built in tip. Spend $70 a person on food and drinks for brunch.

I really want to like this place and gave it a few chances, but management simply doesn’t have their act together. They are severely understaffed which has been a problem since before covid. Here is a summary of my experiences there over the years: Restaurant Week, 2024: At first glance, their RW deal looked decent where you could order any appetizer, entree, and dessert, plus 2 cocktails for $65. However, once we got there, the server told us they were out of the ribeye entree which was the only entree that was priced high enough to make the deal worth it. Had we purchased other entrees, we would actually be losing money on the “deal.” In addition there were only one or two servers working the entire upstairs dining room and it took us over 15 minutes just to be seen after we were seated. It also took so long for drinks and appetizers to arrive that we decided to forgo ordering entrees and went somewhere else. Our server was very nice but clearly overworked. Fall, 2023: I read an article that the restaurant had pumpkin spice espresso martinis. Being the basic B I am, I was excited to give it a try. However, once our group arrived, the bartender told us they were out of the ingredients and couldn’t make it. We left disappointed. 2019: We went for brunch and had extremely slow service so we decided we wouldn’t return for a while. Overall, this place has good potential, a nice atmosphere, and a great location, but management has consistently let us down. Unfortunately, we likely won’t be back to give them a fourth try.

Amal was amazing! I would recommend this bar to anyone. The service was great and the drinks were so yummy

World worst mojito. It's impressively bad. Edit: It was a Saturday night and it was poured from a pre-mixed batch. That right there should already ring alarm bells.

It’s a little stinky and the food is meh. I would recommend getting the truffle fries though- very good!! Also some of the drinks are good. I recommend the Canchanchara. So good!
