Best Bars And Lounges in El Cajon / Lakeside

Food was amazing. Kerry is an awesome server. Thank you for the awesome experience!!

Chill spot to get a cocktail. They make really good and unique drinks.

We reserved a daybed for our anniversary on Reggae Sunday, specifically to ensure we had a nice spot for the umbrella because my husband is fair skinned. It's my 1st time here, so I didn't know exactly how everything worked. Upon arrival, it didn't go very smoothly. The umbrella was away from our daybed and in full sun. When I said I needed shade, they didn't reassure me of it right away and fix the umbrella. Instead, I was offered another daybed. We went over there and immediately some real "gentleman" with his wife has our umbrella & says, "Well you're not getting THIS umbrella." He was just sitting in regular lounge chairs like he owned the place (not reserved anything.) I had to walk all the way back to the reservation desk and they were busy helping others. I found someone to help me go back to the other daybed (because I did not want to be near that guy) and I again insisted on an umbrella which they finally moved. For knowing I'm spending $300, I would have liked a little more effort from the staff in ensuring I was getting what I reserved before they left me to help someone else. Pros: - Daybed was comfortable & comes with Reggae Sunday band. - beautiful landscape and view - clean, plenty of bathrooms -umbrella for daybed could be moved, but I needed to request -The food was excellent -fun lazy river Cons: -actual band wasn't great, music not chill - way too loud for Reggae Sundays. It got a lot better after 3. - 18% gratuity is automatic. Our server was too busy with cabanas, and it took forever for us to order & get our stuff until Cabanas slowed down. She apologized. It's hard to ride the lazy river and get service. I didn't know I couldn't order my own drinks from the bar and put it on my daybed. The bartender wasn't very nice about it. They really should have an app for ordering. Waitress couldn't tell us our total easily. (Not sure if this is by design.) - drinks are very sugary, so we ordered a lot of beer -More umbrellas might ease tensions

Im just going to say, this is place to drink. Main thing is drinks :)!

Celebrated my birthday here and it was fantastic. The crew and the performers are so genuine and fun that they are the reason why this place is so special. 🔥🔥🔥
