Most Disliked
While Da Bubs has won over many, some guests have pointed out that the bar can feel empty during off-peak hours, which may create a skeptical first impression. A few have mentioned that seating can become tight during busy times, especially for larger groups.
Additionally, takeout orders can occasionally take longer than expected during peak hours, so patience may be required if you're in a rush. Nevertheless, most find that the food quality and subsequent satisfaction outweigh these minor inconveniences.

Me and Brea was in the mood for burgers and newly opened “Da Bubs” is what we chose. The smash burgers had thin crispy-edges and seasoned up. They serve what they call “One-bite Wingz” and they gave no resistance falling off the bone! The best thing about it is they’re open til 2am! Must Try..10/10 The the decor is modern disco bar

Pizza 🍕 is A1 cheesy. Like the cheese craze is real here. Super fast as I only ordered takeout. People at the bar looked young and hip. Quite a few tvs to catch a game. But definitely will return.

When we first walked in, the place was empty so we were a little skeptical — but wow, we’re so glad we stayed! We sat at the bar, and Rico, the bartender, greeted us right away and made us feel welcome. I ordered the Witches Brew cocktail and it was absolutely delicious. For food, I had the Da Marty Burger and my husband went for the One Bite Wings. Everything was incredible — the flavors, the presentation, all of it. My husband even ended up ordering a second round of wings because they were that good! Highly recommend giving this place a try — it’s a hidden gem that deserves way more attention.

This place has hands-down the best wings I’ve ever tasted. I’ve probably eaten wings from hundreds of different restaurants over the years, and I can say with 100% confidence that the wings coming out of Da Bubs kitchen have taken the #1 spot (and honestly it’s not even close). You can eat them in one bite because the meat is so tender that it slides right off the bone. The buffalo sauce is unbelievably flavorful and has the perfect amount of kick. And the dipping sauce? A fusion of both ranch and blue cheese—absolutely out of this world delicious. I can pretty much guarantee that you’ve never had wings like this before in your life. The service was excellent and the drinks were fantastic; but my wife and I decided to make this our go-to spot based on the quality of the wings alone. I HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

This place takes wings to another level. the cartilage is removed so you can just bite in and pull the meat off effortlessly. No mess, no struggle, just perfect wings every time. The flavor is amazing, the texture is spot on, and it makes eating wings an entirely new experience. Legitimately some of the best wings I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!
