Bondi Beach Bar and Grill

The security is so bad. They take real IDs and can't tell what's real. Had to wait forever because they took my buddies ID and had to wait for cops to get it back. Then the security got mad that the cops told them it was real and had to give it back. So after 5 minutes they came up to us and told us to leave. (Literally wasn't doing anything, the bouncer was just a little baby). Not worth going here compared to other places. There's a reason this place is rated lower than other places. Every time I've been I always have negative experiences here.

Nowhere have I ever heard of staff being able to take a person’s phone to “have to” go into the phone’s settings “because the police told them that was the only way” to verify an ID? We had to wait way too long for police because the bouncers confiscated the legitimate ID. Isn’t there another way besides accessing personal settings in a phone? Unprofessional and ridiculous! I will never go there again. And in response to the owner's reply... My 25 year old son's Tennessee driver's license was confiscated by the bouncer when he came home to visit for Thanksgiving because "there have been a lot of fake Tenessee IDs." Not only was it discriminatory, but he needed to fly home the next day. The bouncer then took his phone to "verify" his identity and started to go into my son's phone settings. My son took his phone back and offered to leave, but the bouncer would not return his ID so we had to wait 45 minutes on the last night of his vacation home for the police to confirm his identity. RIDICULOUS! No bouncer should go into somebody's phone settings (it had NOTHING to do with the mycolorado app) and no bouncer should automatically confiscate an ID just because it is from a certain state they have seen some fakes. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!

Unsafe establishment. I was out with a friend grabbing drinks at the bar when I was approached by a man I had ended things with. At the bar he grabbed my wrist, was yelling in my ear and touching me though I told him to stay off of me and to leave me alone. I asked for the bar tender to do something because he was not letting me go. She walked away rolling her eyes and proceeded to smile at him and give him a shot. I was very disappointed that the staff would respond in this way.

Went while ramband was going on a couple weeks ago but I went there on Sunday 10/19 and there was a small group inside, hours clearly say till 2am. It was absolutely not. The doors were locked at least for people on the outside. (This next entry is from my first impression weeks ago as again the doors were LOCKED and i was unable to get in) The drink selection is mid, and waitresses are pushy sure but they dont carry change and won't walk 3 steps to get change. If youre looking to get finessed look no further, otherwise, steer clear.

Worst bar in fort collins, I will never be coming back. Bouncers we’re on a power trip and demanded secondary forms of ID, even though I am over 27 and look it. The drink I had was overpriced and terrible tasting, like the bartenders don’t care at all about the customers only their own paycheck. I would rather have a beer in a side ally than come to this decrepit establishment. If you read this, find another bar. Would rate -4 if possible.

My girlfriend and I decided to check out this bar and were completely sober when we arrived. Unfortunately, the experience was ruined right at the door. As we were walking in, the bouncer decided to make an unprompted and condescending comment: “You better get her water.” Completely unnecessary and presumptive. I politely declined the unsolicited advice, and somehow that was enough to trigger an ultimatum from the staff: “Apologize to the bouncer or leave.” At no point was I disrespectful, and an apology was neither appropriate nor warranted. Instead of feeding into the power trip, I chose to leave on principle. It’s a shame to see grown adults let their insecurities bleed into their job, especially when it affects paying customers who are simply trying to enjoy a night out. Safe to say we won’t be returning.

Bouncers are racist. My good friend was let in. Him and I were just chilling at a table when a bouncer approached us. My friend was not being a problem at all, literally just talking with me at a table. They PICKED HIM UP. didn’t ask questions at all, literally just picked him up. and at the front of Bondi, threw him on the ground. THE GROUND. He wasn’t resisting or anything. And they picked him up and threw him on the ground for absolutely no reason at all. I don’t wanna throw the race card…but he was literally not doing anything…and it was very upsetting to see. Don’t recommend for a friendly environment:/

First I would like to say this isn’t our first time in this establishment we’ve been here a few times no issues. Last night my wife was asked to leave after we had ordered and been served our drinks because she had a face tattoo of a small lotus flower. This is absurd, if you wanna profile people and be rude, have a dress code posted. This is the only bar in Fort Collins that has ever kicked us out for our tattoos! Will not be coming back!

Guy felt me up and when someone tried to help they were thrown out by the bouncers. NOT A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR WOMEN! They don’t care as long as you spend your money. I was told I was too intoxicated and maybe it didn’t happen. I had only one drink. Ended up leaving right after and got out safe thank god. STAY AWAY!

Jesse Wolf

If you like burnt hockey pucks served up on wonder bread with Kraft cheese, this is your spot. The worst food I've had at any establishment in a long time.

That Review Guy

Stay very far away from this literally dilapidated place. Judgmental staff that can’t make a Bloody Mary and overcharged for everything. SUPER Loud music at 4pm?.. Very dirty and gross. Incredibly rude for no reason when they had maybe 3 people in the bar including us.

Carly Rose

Stay clear of this bar. My roommate was kicked out for being too intoxicated and was turned away, alone. She is thankfully safe but something terrible could have happened. This is a great example of poor service and irresponsible management. Procedures need to be put in place to ensure the saftey of all young woman and individuals. Shame on you Bondi.
