Bond Cocktail Lounge

This is actually my favorite bar in McAllen. We come here twice at month. This is a chic bar to hang out after work or whenever you want!! Cocktails are great and the bartender.. she is so nice. My husband and I always enjoy spend time here for good drinks and relax nights!! Go go go!!

Rylie was absolutely amazing! He was super nice, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. The drinks were honestly some of the best I’ve had — perfectly balanced, made with care, and tasted incredible. You can tell he really knows what he’s doing behind the bar. He checked in on us consistently without being overbearing and kept the energy fun and welcoming. Great service and even better drinks. We’ll definitely be back 😁

While visiting the Valley, I was told by friends to check out Bond and ask for Maria — and they weren’t wrong! From the moment we arrived, she made us feel welcome and brought such great energy to the table. Maria has that rare gift of making you feel like the most important guests in the room. Our drinks were on point, her recommendations were spot-on, and she checked in at the perfect moments — never rushed, never hovering. She’s friendly, genuine, and clearly loves what she does. Bond is a great spot, but with Maria taking care of you, it’s truly next level. Can’t wait to come back and see her again!

I had the fortune to have Butterfly as my server, it made the experience even greater. Top, top server. Most places have signature cocktails, originals, classics, and beer, I've had most of the classics from the "Vintage Throwback Thursday" and a few others from the menu. What else can I say... only that you have to go at least once, I'm sure you'll love it!

Very instagramable bar; its beautiful Cocktail drinks are unique and delicious! Service is great; they make you feel as a celebrity since you enter the place. Try to get early its gets crowded during the night . I didn’t order food

I had a really disappointing experience here. My boyfriend and I went for the first time last night and sat at the bar. We weren’t aware of the dress code beforehand. The bartender took my order and brought me my drink, but when my boyfriend tried to order, they told him they couldn’t serve him because he was wearing a hat. What didn’t make sense to me was that no one mentioned anything when we first walked in or when we sat down at the bar. If the dress code is that strict, it would make more sense to have someone at the door enforcing it instead of letting people come in, sit down, and start ordering before saying something. I completely understand that places have dress codes, but the way this was handled felt awkward and poorly managed.

Diamond was great. She was friendly and chatty. She knew about liqueur and carried on conversation about it very well. The bar staff was also open to suggestions so this made the experience extra special for us. Thank you for a great night, Bond. Most importantly, the cocktails were actually cocktails that tasted great.

Had always wanted to visit this place for the longest time but never had the chance until new years. Let me tell you, the accommodation was spot on for a walk in on new years! They were full but managed to find me a spot at the bar and made my night into the new year memorable! It was more than I expected! I thank Diamond for attending me and my party and making the first night into the new year one to remember! Will be returning for sure! Cheers!

Drinks and ambiance are amazing, cost of drinks are like Vegas prices which is wild since this is the valley, but it is a really nice upscale, romantic and chill place to go. You do have to have reservations so don't just walk up they will not allow you in just with anyone, which is good because it keeps the downtown kids out, older, more mature and professional adults! Nice place!! Great for a girls night out as well!!

After dining at AMBRA, we moved the party to BOND, an upscale lounge that felt straight out of Houston--luxurious seating, sophisticated cocktails, lively music, and lovely waitstaff created an unforgettable atmosphere. Make sure to order the Porn Star Martini. We can't wait to return this summer.

Let me start by saying the visual atmosphere is amazing. Nice cozy lounge set up with good art work. The music on the other hand did match (Jimmy Eats World) is not ideal for the vibe they're trying to establish. The Hostess: good job. She greeted us with smile and was polite and courteous. From that point on... all down hill. We had a reservation at 745, showed up at 750, open table did inform me there was a 10 min grace period....got seated right away but we never were acknowledged by the wait staff/servers. The hostess did get us a table (she was awesome) but again, we waited for another 20 min and we were not even offered a glass of water or I'll be right with you. At the end of the day I felt excluded and if I was at a party I wasn't invited too. We left and went to Ambra and got great service. Bond: note for you, if you want to be an upscale bar/lounge, keep in mind it's your patrons that want to feel and be treated in an upscale manner, not your staff. Bye. Places better than bond 1. Ambra 2. Sidebar 3. Patio 4. Longhorns 5. Yard house 6. Any place that actually acknowledges you're there. 7. What a burger is better too at 2 am on a Saturday night.
