Play Bar and Lounge 6127 North Mesa Street, El Paso, TX 79912

"DJ was awesome. Great atmosphere and service. Loved the light up menus."

"Clearly they are targeting an upmarket clientele with a barrage of posh cultural references playing continuously on the monitors, and in fact it seems many patrons are happy to play that role. The ingredients are indeed of quality while the cocktail mixing skills vary in my experience, but some bartenders are excellent. Prices are not completely exorbitant, but they do reflect a lavish intent and seem around double the price of a comparable drink elsewhere. That said, I noticed the portions for certain drinks were larger on my recent visit, improving the overall value. The atmosphere is not what I would describe as overly relaxing or friendly, but I wouldn’t say this of any bar that I’ve been to in El Paso. It is however, a nice break from the chaos of other establishments. Service can seem a bit cliquish at times, as if focusing all the attention on some customers and little on others, but that’s not always the case. To summarize, this is one of the better bars in the area. It’s a welcome addition to a city lacking in quality cocktail bars. When seeing the red rope in front of a strip mall, I’m not sure if they quite hit the upscale mark they’re going for, but it’s pretty close. ———— I returned once more and continue to stand by what I previously wrote. However this time I will say that despite being the only person there, the music was uncomfortably loud, almost to the point where it was painful to be in the room. The drinks were smaller now, and not as good, yet still expensive. I probably won’t return."

"Really awesome bar. Outstanding service This is what the west side of EP was missing for a long time. Nice and stylish. Highly recommend it! Update: It changed ownership. Not the same. It was great while it lasted."

"First time visiting the bar and my wife love it. It has a huge selection of cocktails and not so many beer choices. The decor makes you feel calm and comfortable. We ordered some cocktails, however they went cheap of the serving portion. We would like to go back and try other choices. We hope they serve the drinks with better portions to validate their prices."

"Perfect balance between class and fun. Wonderful staff, decor is off the chain. Highly recommend for any day of the week."
