| - This is one spot in Old Town that I always seem to overlook, and I have no idea why! I always have a great time at Bungalow, and I always leave this place saying, "Why don't I come here more often?!" Bungalow's menu is great, the drinks are strong, the indoor/outdoor atmoshpere is fun and the music rocks.
Bungalow's most noteworthy attribute would be its patio. I absolutely love it. It's one of the best outdoor patios in Old Town because you can sit out there year round. In the summer when it's a 100+ they have misters and then when it gets to be a chilly 40-50 degrees in the winter they have outdoor heaters! Actually, their porch is more like a veranda because it's partly enclosed and it extends along the outside of the building. The dim indoor/outdoor lighting totally makes you feel like you're actually in a... wait for it... bungalow! But in all seriousness, the name totally fits the atmosphere. It's like a laid back party at Bungalow, some people are all dressed up and some people are totally casual.
All of the servers and bartenders are also awesome. I've never once experienced poor service, and what I enjoy the most is that their servers notice the little things, like waters, extra napkins, etc. Their drink specials during happy hour are also pretty awesome. However, I can't give this place 5 full stars because I'm not a huge fan of their happy hour food deals. Only select items from their appetizer list are on special for happy hour, and the options are just so-so. I wish they would include all, or at least some more of, their appetizers in their happy hour menu. But, I still highly recommend their lunch and dinner menus. You have to get their crispy chicken wrap and you also have to get their seared Ahi salad. The Ahi they put on the salad is so rare, meaty and perfectly seasoned. All of their salads are so fresh, flavorful and filled with toppings you almost forget how healthy they are! The calamari is another good choice. I don't think you can really go wrong with any of their entrees, especially since everything is so reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of food that you get.
Year round, Bungalow is an all around great choice for a quick bite, lingering lunch/dinner or a night of all out partying. Next time I'm headed out for food/drinks in Old Town, I'll be sure to remember how much I enjoy this place!
