I recently had the opportunity to have happy hour at the Gatsview Pub & Lounge in the Vista and it was lovely. The view was excellent, the food and drinks were delicious and Brenda, our server, was fantastic. She took great care of us. My friends and I had a wonderful time and having seen some of the other amenities, a couple of my friends had the immediate reaction "I'm retiring here."

We were booked for the Shamrock Special on St. Patty's Day as the musical duo. The staff was super friendly and helpful to assist us in where to park, set up, and offered snacks and beverages. The residence is absolutely beautiful and our audience was appreciative and engaging. We look forward to playing there again in the spring. Kim and Jeff from The Knight Tones.
