What People Are Saying About Fizz Bar and Grill

The Scene – From up the street, look for the bottle cap with "Fizz" written on it. Outside, tall, curved front windows once displayed men's clothing. Inside, it's clean and airy, with brick, wood paneling and clusters of low tables stretching back behind the bar. Drink specials define theme nights, like "sneaky tiki" Wednesdays, with fun fruity drinks and low-cost Coronas. Fizz's second level has pool tables, a DJ and sometimes bands. Service is attentive, and the crowd is made up of young professionals. – – The Draw – Fizz probably carries your favorite brew, with…

great food

by edmondkincaid at Citysearch

We ordered Black Bean and Corn filled Wontons which was mind blowing. It was hot and very tasty and we didn't waited too long for that. Fast services.

Food, Beer, and Now Comedy

by peteclosesthebar at Citysearch

I've always loved the food and booze at Fizz. Now they have comedy there on Thursday nights, which is my Fizz night. Steel Mags and Jim vs. Mike are there now. Both are really funny. Steel Mags is total guy humor even though i caught my girlfriend laughing more than me.

Jim vs. Mike is really different than anything i've seen before. So much fun. I know they said they were there for a few more weeks so try and check them out.

  • Pros: only place to catch my 2 new favorite shows
  • Cons: the beer garden can't be open year round

Poor Service & Cheap Halloween party

by fyneartist at Citysearch

Went in the past to Fizz's Halloween party and had fun, but not this year. They just did not seem to know how to handle the ticket situation this year, gave you cheap well drinks unless you specifically asked for Stoli vodka, they were understaffed for such and event. Seems like Fizz has been on the decline for a while as the turnout was not great. Its a shame. We will take our business elsewhere from now on.

  • Pros: Nifty decorations
  • Cons: Service, poor drinks, ticket handling, understaffed

Owner(s) is/ are the R-U-D-E-S-T !!!

by ate2909 at Citysearch

while the food at fizz was decent and the wait staff were attentive (on sat, oct 18th- 8-11pm), the owner that evening (a woman with short hair) was offputting and an outright repellant. i had scheduled a get-together there on saturday nite. i spoke and met with a dan who said he was the owner of the bar a week prior and set up a $30 per person drink special. there was a breakdown/mix-up/misunderstanding of what dan told me was included in that price and what the woman owner that night said was included. it was really not a big deal... most of the guests bought the pkg anyway. but it was the way the woman owner conveyed the misunderstanding. it is almost as if she has never worked with the public before. that or she views every single patron of this bar as a pain and a moron, and it is up to her to quash any flow to the evening or opinion that is not in line with hers. someone brought in his 6# maltese, and the dog was passed around from 1 person's arm to another. you know, ooohing and aaahing. then came the owner woman who basically threw out the dog. most reactions are favorable when asked in the right way. THIS OWNER WOMAN DOES NOT HAVE CLUE ONE. most of my guests were 1st timers to fizz and have voiced vows of never returning. i recommend trying bungalow, pony, belly's, finley dunne's or waterhouse instead + tons of other restaurants located in the immediate area.
