Great fish bowls, phenomenal service ALWAYS, good food, board&card games, DJ nights & some karaoke nights (follow them on IG to get all the info on those nights) it’s right next to a bowling Alley also to go do some drunk bowling after.. if you dare haha. I’m always returning to this location at least once a month since I’m a bit distant from this joyful place. Highly recommend you bring some friends and enjoy your time at LAB 88. Please be mindful they do check vaccination statues . Much love, Delgado

Valerie did an outstanding job! She managed all her tables on her own with impressive efficiency, making sure every guest had exactly what they needed without missing a beat. Her professionalism, speed, and attention to detail truly stood out. She absolutely deserves to be recognized for her hard work and excellent service!

I was amazed by the quality of food. It was superb at 10 at night! Gotta say Lab88 hit the spot! Update!!! Came back again after the lantern festival (it was just 10 minutes away!), because we wanted the chicken wings, tteokbeokki, and dumplings! It was hittin', once again!

Im so happy my friends and I discovered this place! When we went (on a Monday night) it wasn’t packed. We were instantly greeted at the door and Manny immediately took great care of us. First off, the atmosphere was super chill. The music was perfect! The drinks were smooth (but strong 💪🏽) and Manny recommended some really delicious plates (get the wings)!! The cherry on top were the nostalgic games they had for us to play! Operation, battle ship, etc. My friends and I had an incredible time. Thank you so much to Manny for making the experience special as well! I seriously thought he owned the place with how attentive he was! Either way, we will definitely be back 👏🏽

This place is THE place to hang out with your significant other or group of friends!! They have board games, karaoke, group alcohol combos, and the music is so uplifting. Sat here with my boyfriend and his friend for 3 hours and the employees were so considerate. The prices are reasonable for their drinks or food, and there is tons of space to feel separated from other people with booths and table. Their Happy Hour is 6PM to 9PM with great prices. Their food/drink menu is catchy and delicious for what you pay for it.

The drinks here are really good! I’m not into sour or sweet drinks but I had the mint and blew me away cocktails and they were on point! The food was very tasty and my favs were the meatballs and mac n cheese...yum! They also have games you can play like darts, beer pong, and I think board games? If I didn’t live so far I’d come here often..but I’ll be back for sure! Also bc everyone here is super nice makes the vibe chill..

Had a really nice evening here with a couple friends after work. The atmosphere was relaxed without feeling too crowded, and the music was at just the right volume where we could still have a conversation. Drinks came out pretty quick and everything we ordered tasted fresh. The bartender was friendly and gave us a few suggestions that ended up being spot on. Prices seemed fair for the area too. It's not the biggest lounge around, but that's kinda what made it feel more comfortable. I'd definitely come back when I'm looking for a chill place to hang out.
