Cali Bar & Lounge

"I cannot stress this enough but this is such a hidden gem for a lounge in all of Flushing. The atmosphere was great, there was beer pong table set up, a darts machine to play, and karaoke going on with individual rooms if you want a more private area to sing your heart out. The staff was amazing and so polite. They were attentive and made sure you were okay and having a great time. HIGHLY recommended (:"

"The owner's cousin was real nasty. This fat girl with glasses. Service is terrible with people like that. She acts as if I owe her money. She should not be working behind the bar if that is how she acts. Definitely won't be returning there ever!"

"A super low-key spot in an old building in downtown Flushing. Quite hard to find so gotta look at the Apt No. of the address. Basic lounge seats and drinks with old school music flashed back the time in the early 20s. Overall, we had a great time there, playing games and yelling like teenagers."

"The owner was really nasty to us. We were just sitting at the bar talking but I put my karaoke request on the counter. After a few minutes I was so engulfed in the conversation that I couldn't tell if anyone checked my request yet so I asked one of the bar tenders (who happened to be the owner) if she saw my request or not. She must have been overwhelmed because she responded with such an attitude, talking about "I obviously haven't, I am the owner and I have a lot to do, as you can see I am tending to other people", we apologized profusely and tried to explain that we just didn't know if someone had checked yet, and she cut us off and responded with "yeah sure" and walked away. Before then we were enjoying our time there with some drinks, just singing karaoke, the other server we had was kind. We asked for a deck of cards. We had to be moved to the bar from a booth because a larger party appeared and we did so without a problem. We just wanted to have a good night. When the owner spoke to us like that we immediately felt unwelcome. We didn't feel like we could request any other songs or drinks nor did anyone come to check on us again. We just finished our last game with the cards we had after that and asked for the check. Other then the service. The place was pretty cute. the karaoke doesn't necessarily have to be karaoke, they raise or lower the volume of the original singer. The people around were nice. They had games you could request. Cash only bar at the time. Had I not encountered the owner, I probably would have been satisfied with my experience. The owner is the reason for my review of this place dropped from 4 stars to 2 stars. This happened July 2023"

"Came here recently with like 10+ friends. One of our friends came here before with co workers and highly recommended the place since she had a lot of fun. Sadly, we weren’t greeted with a friendly vibe when we first got there. Not sure if it was because we looked young or because majority of us were not Asian. But they did bag checks on us (Which my friend didn’t experience the last time she came here) + ID (the usual of covid vaccine card + ID) It was hard finding the location, the outside sign is blocked by something. But after wandering around we were able to find the place. It looks a bit suss at first and you have to enter a building and go on their elevator. Inside, you’ll see a bunch of booth tables that you can sit in. There’s also several TV’s around the bar so you can request for a mic and sing a loud in front of everyone at the bar. (For free) So if you’re looking for a personal room to sing, this isn’t the right place. There’s also one table pong that you can use for free. And a darts game that you can play ($1 per play) (make sure to put the bill in the machine and then ask the bartender for darts) The drinks were really good, I got the stardust and really enjoyed it. They also give you some pretzels for free, which was nice. Also, make sure you HAVE CASH! They only accept cash and there’s an ATM machine on the side. They used to accept venmo, but not anymore. Overall, it was a nice chill place minus the uncomfortable greetings at the beginning."
