Dress code: Smart casual—most guests come from work or events, so stylish but relaxed fits right in.
Noise level: Moderate to lively—conversation is possible early, but music rises as Phonobar fills up.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes if you arrive after 7pm without a reservation.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait, though hours can vary with bar operations.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—entire menu is plant-based with creative Latin flavors.
Vegan options: Yes—fully vegan concept including tacos, tostadas, and sides.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes—its dim lounge lighting, Latin cocktails, and cool hi-fi setting make it a stylish and unexpected vegan pick that feels special.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Usually yes during happy hour, but seating depends on Phonobar’s crowd—arrive early for the best spots.
Is it kid-friendly? Not really—this is more of an adult cocktail and music lounge setting; better for date nights or small groups.
Best For
Better for: Inventive vegan tacos and cocktails in a sleek lounge environment—ideal for plant-based diners seeking nightlife energy.
Skip if: You’re after a traditional taqueria vibe or want a full dinner service separate from a bar.
