The Flamingo Lounge

Went dancing last night it was a great experience good band they were called crossfire Lotta people there it was a great night

I made it up to this bar/​restaurant about a month ago as some friends were flying into town and staying at the adjoining hotel. Otherwise, I probably would never have stopped into this place. And the Unilocal reviews don’t sound too promising. Well, I’m glad for the serendipity! I’m not sure if this is one of those joints that used to be worse, but it’s gotten its act together or what, but my recent experience was very positive. Firstly, the service was good; I ended up eating here twice while my friends visited, and I didn’t ever have that situation where you wonder if the waiter fell down a rabbit hole. Service was prompt. Secondly, this place has a McDougall menu (oil-​free, plant-​based and minimally processed).
Honestly, any place that’s thoughtful enough to throw some options on the menu for us vegans, will get me in the door. Again, serendipity here. Had no idea they featured a secret alternative and super-​healthy menu! I grabbed a veggie burger and pizza in the two times I visited and was not disappointed. Excellent and healthy grub that I’ve been thinking about since I had it. It’s not a budget eat, as it was closer to the $ 40 mark for two when it was all said and done, but compared to most other local restaurants this seemed like more bang for my buck.
There was no live menu and I didn’t sample any alcohol, so I’m afraid I can’t comment on that. But if you’re looking for some delicious plant-​based dinner and a date with the missus, this place might surprise you.

Saw a show there for the 1^st time and it wasn’t bad. The layout is good for a show and the décor has been updated since the last time I was there. Service was good, drinks were a little high for Santa Rosa. I’d go again.

Okay here’s the honest scoop; My good friend and his beloved family came to Santa Rosa for a visit (wife and three kids, one is my Goddaughter). After spending sometime at the pool at the Flamingo, we went to the Terrace Grille for dinner — absolutely the worse experience I’ve had anywhere in Santa Rosa! Food is cheap, frozen, and poorly made (but expensive!). I could go to Costco and purchase ready made meals that are better!
But was worst was the brainless foriegn accented waitress who was not even familiar with the menu! The three kids (ages 10, 8, and 6) ordered from the kids menu which is pathetic! $ 6 for wonderbread with a microscopic layer of P&J. $ 6 will also buy your child a small bowl of cheap pasta with artificial cheese THAT TAKES A TOTAL OF 45 MINUTES TO ARRIVE!!! Both the waitress and the management CLAIMED that they were busy (on a Wednesday early night with only half of the seats filled — yeah right!, not to mention a lot of waitresses doing more socializing that serving). They also claimed that the cooks were not «ready» for the kids menu — how long does it take to boil pasta??? To add insult to injury the management gave us a robotic apology and we actually had to ask for the $ 6 pasta to be waived on the bill! You have no idea what I wanted to do with the bill after I «rolled it up»!
Point being, DON’T GO! Especially because there are a host of great places walking distance away!

The service was horendous. We waited 45 minutes for a child’s pasta meal. I ordered the steak fajita salad. The steak was over cooked and served cold. For the price, you will be better off going to Cattleman’s down the street.

It wasn’t bad but there are just too many other options in Santa Rosa for me to repeat a Happy Hour here. The seven of us tried ALL the appetizers — favorites were the nacho fries and the polenta sticks. Redeeming factor for this place is the outdoor pool/​patio tables but I’m not sure if you can sit out there for happy hour anyhow. It was a lovely view though!

This place is old school — in the best way. Drinks overlooking the pool, regular live entertainment, a decent happy hour. Like some other reviewers mentioned, you won’t find all the cool 20-​somethings here, but that’s ok with me nowadays. Plus, I’ve heard tell that as a local I can pay for pool access on a hot summer day! I need to check that out…

When I’m in SR I usually arrive at night and it’s the pink neon that dances in the sky which is often so alluring.
No Cal Happy Hour carries specials and in these parts its great to check them all out, wherever they be. I stopped by recently to see what the scene is like here. Guest services greeted me and explained that it’s end of season and not as lively but to stop in and check out their HH specials.
There were at least fifteen plus or so in the pool and a few were perfect hard-​bodies. The bar overlooks the courtyard, pool and other relaxing, garden seating. I sat by the pool on comfortable wicker seating with a large table. The wonderful Alicia was my server and recommended a few tasty tapas plates. Pricing on plates during the special were $ 5 — $ 6 dollars. Draft and house wine specials were $ 4. Their beer menu is terribly short but I found a decent micro, Speak EZ drafts.
It was a pleasant day with good sights, lovely bar staff, tasty tapas and an inexpensive happy hour.
Don’t forget about the Flamingo, they are open to the public as well and appreciate the stop in.

Went here for happy hour with the lady a couple weeks back. ($ 3 dollar draft beer, wine and well drinks, $ 5 pizza). Overall, a pleasant place. Tiny selection of beers, but they did have Big Daddy IPA, which is simply delicious. The pizza was a good size for two people, and for $ 5 I was definitely expecting smaller. The server we had was very nice. My main gripe is that this place seems to attract only the 70+ crowd. We must have been the youngest people there by a few decades. We’ll surely be back, though!

NO PARKING, THIS IS A HOTEL!

Watch out young fellows… cougars abound!
