Beautiful place, music was not too loud which was great for talking. We had to make reservations ahead of time. And even with that, they were going to sit us in couches with another random couple, though the place was not full at the time. Once my husband talked to someone about that situation,they were able to accommodate us better.

The experience was good overall, our waiter was very attentive. however, I might have missed out on reading that guideline, but we were kicked out after 2 hours due to the ‘limited stay policy’. It is such a small lounge that they send you on your merry way so they can use the table over and over again.
BOND Cocktail LoungeResponded on 28 December 2024
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you had attentive and prompt service from your waiter and that your overall experience was good. We sincerely apologize if our limited stay policy impacted your evening. As a smaller lounge, we aim to accommodate all our guests while maintaining a high standard of service. Your input is valuable, and we’ll review how we can better communicate these guidelines to ensure a seamless experience. We hope you’ll consider joining us again in the future. Cheers!

We didn’t order food. Had a wonderful evening. Very relaxed. Music was on point, not loud and clubby. Service was great.

Nice, modern place in McAllen to have a drink with friends before or after dinner. The cocktails and food (we tried Japanese) were really good , but ….. but after 4 cocktails and $200 they asked us to order more or we need to leave !!!!! It’s ruined all the evening, ambience and party! If you ask me will we back , probably not! If you want to go, go, but don’t expect much.
BOND Cocktail LoungeResponded on 23 December 2024
Thank you for your feedback, Olga. We’re delighted you enjoyed the cocktails, food, and ambiance, but we’re truly sorry that the situation you described impacted your evening.

Had a better experience at Bond much more controlled and relaxing. Music was great staff was excellent. Everyone was dressed appropriately and was not over crowded. They sat me right away. Still haven’t tried the food but definitely will go back to do that. Definitely improvement

This is such a great cocktail bar with delicious appetizers. There’s nothing like it here in the valley. I would totally recommend this for date night. If you want a classy, bougie, upscale place to Online or spend some time with that special someone, this is totally the place.

I love the place. Bond is hands down the best bar in McAllen! I was genuinely surprised to find a place like this here—it’s like stepping into a magical space with a big-city vibe. The attention to detail in the decor, the amazing cocktails, and the overall ambiance make it a standout spot. It feels like a hidden gem bringing metropolitan elegance right to McAllen. Highly recommend experiencing it for yourself!. I hope to visit again when I visit McAllen.

Overall a wonderful experience at Bond. Our waitress was very helpful and knowledgeable. The ambiance was dark, moody and sexy. There are lounge chairs/couches for a close and comfortable atmosphere. We shared a few food items off the menu thanks to Butterfly’s suggestions. We had wine and an old fashioned-both excellent. We will definitely come back to Bond. Thank you for a wonderful and relaxing evening.

To crowded and table was not ready. Online for booking it says there is a time frame for seats. That way we all enjoy the experience however that did not happen. I thought this place would be more exclusive. I also read there is a dress code, yet there were people wearing leggings and tennis shoes, also hoodie pull over. I don’t think it matters how much money you may have a dress code is a dress code. I was not thrilled with the experience. The first week I couldn’t even get in without a reservation and now it’s like anyone can go. In my opinion I think this place needs a little more work. Love the name and the atmosphere but just the crowd killed that vibe unfortunately.
BOND Cocktail LoungeResponded on 10 December 2024

We also apologize for not enforcing our dress code. We appreciate your feedback and take your comments seriously. We're committed to delivering a high-quality and exclusive experience, and it's clear we fell short in this instance. We're working to improve our reservation management and capacity to prevent situations like this in the future.
