    On Wednesdays, they have drink specials on more miniature cocktails that are 50% off from the price of regular cocktails. Makes for a nice Wednesday evening with friends

    We had a reservation, and had to wait ~20min. Manager comped a round of tequila for the wait time. Small place and a reservation is recommended

    Long Story Short had solid drinks and food, and the service was great with super attentive and knowledgeable staff. My only hesitation about going back is the music. At one point, I thought it was 2000s night with all the NSYNC and Britney, but then it shifted into older pop, and I felt like I was listening to my parents’ playlist. Makes you wonder what vibe they’re going for. If they tightened up the music selection, this spot could easily be a go-to. Still, worth checking out, especially to kick off the night.

    El dueño estuvo súper atento de nosotros y nos explicó su concepto que nos encantó cada historia en los tragos. Delicioso y gran gran música
    Long Story ShortResponded 5 days ago
    ¡Muchísimas gracias por tu visita y por tomarte el tiempo de compartir tu experiencia! Nos alegra enormemente saber que disfrutaron tanto de los tragos como de las historias detrás de cada uno — es justamente esa conexión lo que queremos lograr: que cada cóctel cuente algo, que tenga alma. También nos encanta que la música haya sido parte de lo que hizo especial la noche. Cuidamos mucho ese detalle para que acompañe el ritmo de la experiencia. Siempre será un gusto tenerlos de vuelta en Long Story Short. ¡Hasta pronto!

    El sitio es acogedor pero literal es muy pequeño, reservamos una mesa para cuatro personas y no nos cabían los pies de lo pequeña que era la mesa y el espacio reducido. La comida está bien (las hamburguesas muy buenas) excepto la pizza que estaba a terrible y parecía comida congelada para micro. Las meseras atienden bien pero les urge contratar servicio extra ya que no daban abasto por la cantidad de personas. Incluso para pagar fueron lentas; de nuevo… ellas trabajan bien pero es obvio el administrador del lugar no quiere gastar en más staff. Hace mucho calor y la única ventilación es la puerta de acceso que dejan abierta. No regresaría ni lo recomendaría ya que, por ese rango de precio, puedes ir a otros bares con mejor servicio, más cómodos y de mejor concurrencia.

    Todo muy bien, solo se debería de especificar más cuando se exhibe algo en el menú que solo se referencia como "de temporada", ya que mi esposa es alérgica a los crustáceos y no se nos indico que uno de los elementos que pedimos estaba preparado con cigala. Se preocuparon mucho en el momento de informarles de este consumo accidental, sin embargo creo que se debería especificar ya que puede desencadenar en algo grave.

    Gracias por compartirnos tu experiencia y por señalar algo tan importante. Lamentamos profundamente lo ocurrido y entendemos completamente tu preocupación — la seguridad y el bienestar de nuestros invitados es una prioridad absoluta para nosotros. Agradecemos que nos lo hayas hecho saber, ya que esto nos permite mejorar. Tomaremos medidas para asegurar que cualquier ingrediente "de temporada" esté claramente especificado en el menú o sea explicado a detalle por nuestro equipo, especialmente cuando se trate de posibles alérgenos. Nos alegra saber que el equipo actuó con atención al momento, pero reconocemos que lo ideal es prevenir desde el inicio. Apreciamos mucho su visita y esperamos poder recibirlos de nuevo, con una experiencia segura y totalmente disfrutable para ambos.
