BarFly's Review of Bo Restobar
It’s tucked in the lobby of the tony Hotel Lucia and next door to high-end Thai eatery Typhoon, so it’s no surprise that this after-work watering hole for the suit-and-tie set is super spendy. And while the upscale Benihana décor is mostly pleasing to the eye (though the 9 million colorful pillows on the banquette seating are nothing but in the way), the bartenders still haven’t figured how to concoct a proper tropical cocktail. And unless you have a hankering to spend $9 on a glass of fruit punch, beer is probably the safest option. The grub is similarly overpriced and disappointing. Frankly, with Saucebox just down the street, there’s really no point—unless you’re already staying at the hotel and it’s pouring outside.

My husband and I frequently hit this bar for its $3 Stella and fabulous happy hour menu. The service has always been top-notch and the food hits the spot. I recommend this to anyone.
I had a great experience in Bo. This bar is on the more spendy side but it is worth it! The drinks are amazing and the food is just as good. They have a great happy hour menu for after work gatherings. It is never too crowded and I like that they have a ton of bar seating! I would recommend the back room if you are in a larger group...it is private and cozy!
