Really great experience
We went on 2 occasions, the staff were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. The mocktails were also very nice. I also bought a souvenir glass and a couple of Hard Rock t-shirts from the store! We will definitely be back!

Best way to get the most of Bay area wine country!

Private Sommelier-led Sonoma or Napa Wine Country Tour in VW Van
Molly_C, Sep 2026
Best way to get the most of Bay area wine country!
My family and I had the best time visiting a curated set of wineries tailored to our preferences during this outing to Sonoma wine country. It was the highlight of our trip to the Bay area. Chris and Brian worked hard to understand our preferences in advance of our tour and delivered on an absolutely fabulous wine tasting experience. Brian took care of all the finer details and the driving so that we could just sit back, relax, and enjoy the wine! Not only did we enjoy the wineries we visited for the wines we tasted but the locations were picturesque and very inviting. We highly recommend taking this excursion away from the hustle and bustle of San Francisco and enjoying the slower pace this activity affords. We found some wines that were absolutely delightful and look forward to remembering our time in Sonoma when we open one of the many bottles we purchased in the months to come!

Lake Tahoe Sunset Wine Tasting Cruise
Brianna_T, Sep 2026
I went with my girls trip...
I went with my girls trip group, we really enjoyed this cruise. The wine was great, unlimited for the first 1.5 hours, once you turn back to go to the port service stops. There was a musician on the top deck, Wesley, he was wonderful and made the trip. Some people stayed on the first deck the entire time which seemed boring to me, but to each their own! The only thing I was partially disappointed in was the food, it states small plates but there was only enough for one person to have a tiny plate of food each.

Yaaaassssss. Queen!!
We had a great time. The queens were gorgeous and professional. It was so entertaining. The mimosas kept coming and the food was really delicious. We are going to come back again the next time we are in Palm Springs. Lots of hen parties but a nice group of gay men as well (we are a gay married male couple)

Outstanding show in an intimate venue.
I took my four grandchildren, ages 9-14, to see this show in August 2026. It was a wonderful experience! High energy performance by amazingly talented acrobats. Club Fugazi is a small venue with great atmosphere and this show is a worthy addition to its rich history. Highly recommended.

Magical birthday tea party

Magical birthday tea party
Alejandra created a magical tea experience on the Santa Cruz coast overlooking the ocean. I appreciated the little thoughtful touches, such as homemade scones and jam, fun hats, conversation cards, and a portable stereo.One thing to note is that one person in my party was gluten free but she wasn't able to accomodate them. Alejandra said she would work on having gluten free options in the future so this is something you may want to ask her about before booking if it matters to you.
