Amazingly beautiful place for a great time.Unfortunately they have a limit of two hrs.Not happy about it, we where having to much fun. Enjoying the views and the amazing cocktails they serve.
A Meetup group I'm part of decided to meet here on 6/24/22. The music was way too loud and we could barely hear each other. NONE of the seats were far enough away from the jukebox speakers.
Been here twice and both have been great experiences.Crowd - Hip trendy crowds that makes it a fun place.Parking - Valet parking with the hotel available with free validation.Venue - Place is located on the rooftop of the Marriott. Interior / Exterior decoration is great with a upscale feeling and look.Service - I would have gave them a 3.5 star cause of the lack of attention and checking up on table. I had to personally go order my drink once since they forgot, and check on my order the second time.Food - Food was great except for tuna was a 50/50. Portions are tapas style you need a few orders if you come with a larger group.Prices - The norm for a place like this.Overall it's a nice place and would be back hoping service is better.
The location is amazing, it’s a nice view. It has a good view of the city for anyone trying to get nice photos and the parking is fairly easy. The staff has to be some of the worst staff iv ever seen. They are disrespectful and have zero manners. I went with some co workers after a work event and we were supper exited. The waitress rudely asked us to order at the bar because they were no longer doing table service. The bartender (short and bald with tattoos) literally rolled his eyes when I asked him for some extra limes. Mind you I ordered a vodka tonic which is an elementary drink for any bartender and supper difficult to mess up… he did!Drinks are expensive but that is just expected because the location. Which leads back to the staff. Best way to explain this was said by my colleague who attended with me “why are we paying so much money to be treated like a piece of shit”
The views from this lounge are top notch as far as Irvine can provide, and the drinks are tasty too. Sliders were also on point. Went during the afternoon and there was plenty of room it seemed.Those were the only positives though.The biggest negative was the poor service. Our original waiter disappeared after placing our drinks, and it wasn't until we physically went to the bar to go check on them a solid 20 minutes later did we find they were sitting there on the counter waiting to be served. So, we grabbed our own drinks from the bar and brought them back to our table. After that, we were assigned a different waiter who then half-checked up on us every now and then. They weren't short staffed, as we could see 3-4 staff members at any given time chilling around the bar socializing. That was a bummer to see given the high-end image this place portrays and the prices they charge.Another problem is that there was a multi family party next to us with random kids storming one of the corner couches. Not sure why kids are allowed up there when it's clearly an adult lounge / bar scene.
The ambience here is fun but kind of a bit much. We went on a Tuesday at 5pm for the sunset and they were already blasting insane party music. We could barely hear each other talking. The service was really nice and the sweet potato fries were amazing but the drinks were pretty meh. Super super sweet and everything was very honey or maple flavored (which I get, the restaurant is bee themed). They have heaters but it’s still really cold up there. Fun experience one time but wouldn’t ever go back.
Great getaway from the norm. Watched the sun set and just chilled for a bit. Bring a jacket. Oh, and the cinnamon roll thing was awesome. Forgot to share but she had the brownie thing. Actual names fordrunken.
Cute little place. Street parking can be a little Hive & Honey Rooftop Bar . Puffer fish for lights hang over the bar! Super nice staff all around. Songs playing overhead were pretty good too. I'm not a smoker but like the little patio in front that overlooks Hive & Honey Rooftop Bar blvd for a little 'fresh' air. Yummy Hive & Honey Rooftop Bar and almost as good as in Orange County.
Good food and atmosphere. Expensive cocktails but well made (Old Fashioned was of particular note) and rib-eye sliders and truffle fries were on-point. Service was slow and inconsistent, but we were there for the view and vibe so we took it in stride.
We went for a birthday and the bill was my issue. She charged me before asking. We were supposed to split the bill between a few different groups so the bill was high and I didn't want to take it all and ask for $ later. I handled it and it was fine but I was told by my server that wouldn't happen. But service was good and it's a cool atmosphere.
