A nice attempt, but it fell short.
Mingo Kitchen and Lounge is tucked away in the Art District. Plenty of free parking on the street! The interior is dark (and I'm glad it is because I'm scared to see what the place looks like with the lights on). The restaurant attempts to be sexy and hipster, but it comes off as a little grimy. There are "penis show" and "sexual art show" flyers on the bulletin board by the door- reconsider bringing your kids here. I would not consider it a child friendly environment.
We came in for happy hour. Beers were $3 and a couple of their signature drinks were $7. My drink was strong, but for $7 it wasn't worth it. The fish and chips on the happy hour menu were decent in size, but nothing I couldn't have whipped up from a bag of frozen breaded fish and fries on my own.
