Customer Reviews
El Bolero has a rating of 4 out of 5 based on over 66 reviews on Google
Great variety of music. Pool tables are placed too close together. Too stuffy and hot inside even though there are fans placed everywhere. Parking is scarce as this place is strangley placed in a residential area.
If you're looking for a local bar to have fun, you found it! There's 2 pool tables, and other games on the side. I love coming here to watch any (ufc) important fight! All events happen here.
Not a huge fan ... kind of a whole in the wall place. They only have drinks, not food (unless you count cheetos and ramen food). They have a couple of pool tables and they were playing really loud ranchero music when we were there. Staff is super friendly and nice!
Prices are different from menu and if you don’t speak spanish, you’ll have to pay even more. Loud, you won’t be able to speak to a person next to you.
Price menu is fake, charging more than the menu says and if you don’t speak spanish, it’s even more
If you are hispanic.latino.Diverse and you are down to have fun with your friends or new friends in there....this is the place...
