Stepping into Bar Bruno, you're greeted with an inviting atmosphere. The vibe is laid-back yet vibrant, making it an ideal spot for any occasion. One notable aspect of Bar Bruno is the attention to detail, even extending to the restroom. Clean and beautifully decorated, it's a testament to the care put into every corner of the restaurant. The staff at Bar Bruno are the epitome of hospitality. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. Special mention goes to our waiter, Nick, whose attentiveness and friendly demeanor enhanced our dining experience. His recommendations were spot-on, and my girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed every dish he suggested. The mezcal margaritas are a must-try, especially the passionfruit one, perfectly balanced and refreshing, while the Steak and Fish tacos are a delightful blend of traditional flavors with a modern twist. What sets Bar Bruno apart is the convenience of having multiple locations to choose from. Overall, Bar Bruno offers more than just a meal – it provides a welcoming atmosphere, friendly service, and a refreshing escape from the everyday hustle and bustle. I highly recommend checking it out for yourself.

Stepped in here for the first time and don’t know why it took me so long - Justin and Zach were phenomenal, personable, and the best of hosts! Justin whipped up some fantastic margs - highly recommend the cucumber number, but they have so many other flavors if you want to expand your palette. My friend and I got the shrimp and steak tacos and thoroughly enjoyed both - it’s rare that a taco has enough flavor to carry itself without condiments, but these MFing did!! Would love to see a lil chips n salsa hunny on the menu, but happy with the options regardless. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a nice meal - solo, together, or meeting strangers at the bar..this is a safe space for all!

Loved the interior. Also good music! It’s a restaurant and a bar. If I lived here I would come for drinks here. Food was also very good and not too pricey! I had tacos with chicken, which was good.

I went here for Yelp event and it was amazing! The ambiance is great, the service is up to par and the staff was super friendly. I really liked the decor at Bar Bruno, I am digging the classic black and gold theme. The chairs are black and gold, the bar has a cool metallic brick accent and the the wallpaper has gold calavera skulls. It's clear that management paid attention to detail. I really enjoyed the cucumber margarita and passionfruit mezcal cocktails in addition to the smoked wings and nachos. For the main course, I ordered the Huevos A La Condensa with steak, the dish was well seasoned, flavorful and simply delicious. I would definitely recommend visiting Bar Bruno for brunch or dinner and I am looking forward to trying more menu items in the future.

We got fish tacos and the birra pizza. Also got margaritas and micheladas. Food and drinks were great and the place has a nice atmosphere. We had a great time and will definitely be back. Also if you get a shot, the shot glasses are also skull shaped.

The nachos were great - good topping to chip ratio. Enjoyed the classic margaritas as well. Just stopped in for a snack and look forward to trying some other menu items.

Came in on a snowy winter day and left fat and happy. Everything was great but the quesadillas and platanos are must-orders. Our server Nick was awesome.
