Need I say more, it has nice looking people here, owner has a great place to coast up to a mate or date, one of the must go~to on your agenda to do also have special gathering, have no worry, lol. Enjoy yep!
We stopped by after 10pm to check it out. Not my cup of tea since I love to dance from first song to last: theres no dance floor and it gets super crowded. The DJ tonight kept switching from one genre to the next after one song, so not great for dancing and I know its a lounge, but it didnt even have that vibe either, lol. Bartenders served us with the BEST customer service. :-) The Patron Margarita I had was great; the tiny-shot-glass-mudslide was not.
Awesome place excellent vibes the staff is great they have extra security to make you feel safe and theyre security are really nice always polite way better then the next door club that just opened up. This place has been here for years before it used to be known as the green olive. So that just shows you if its been there for over a decade it must be for a reason!! Lol also for the dudes total beautiful babes!! A+++
I never write reviews, but this place definitely deserves 10 stars out 5 . I called to reserve the table for my friends and family for a special occasion. I got a call back from Raj and he said he will take care of it. Boy! he did take care of it and made us feel very special. Thank you Standard team, and Especially Raj for the great service and food. We will definitely recommend this place for great fun fill environment!!
Great venue for larger events. Set up is really cool with different rooms, huge outdoor lounge/patio, and upper class patrons that werent catty like a lot of night club regulars (in less than appealing bars). 4* because they need a bigger dance floor.
I tried this place because I received a gift card but I didnt feel comfortable. I tried going the weekend before, and I planned my schedule around it, since they open at 5 on Saturday and they usually close Sundays for private events but when I arrived on that particular Saturday, the entire place was closed for a private event. I recommend, calling ahead. When I finally made it, my family didnt feel as if it had a welcoming vibe. Maybe because theyre other main business is to turn into a night club? It is definitely dark inside. Our server was very nice and courteous. I had the rib eye steak with mashed potatoes and veggies. The potatoes and veggies were excellent, however; the meat was extremely tough. It got softer once I was closer to the bone. My family had the chicken alfredo and they seemed to like it. For dessert we had the chocolate molten lava cake and the bread pudding. OMG, both were so good. Prices are on the heftier side. I would like to come back and try some of their other dishes but not with family, more of a date night atmosphere for me.
Jon/johnthe “bouncer” shoved me out via “face push” at 1:14Am (I was the DD) because I wasn’t finishing my drink fast enough. Really appreciate the hospitality! Love that you guys care about the people that paid you money for a 10$ cover and tipped your bar tenders. Very impressed with your business. “Interesting strategy, let’s see how it pays off!”
This is one of my favorite place go to..u can bring a date or chill out with friends .. I wouldnt want to bring a family here.. they have awesome variety of whiskey.. its a great atmosphere..
Normally I would have posted a pic but food looked so good I couldnt stop. I will probably become a regular. Prices were fair.
The food was amazing. Ill return friends next time. It has an awesome atmosphere.
What a beautiful venue. We started at the bar until our party was ready to be seated
Nice place to go to and have a drink depending on the night you go it can be chill.
Oven Baked Mac & Cheese was simply the BEST!! So surprisingly wonderful! I cant wait to go back
One the best nightclubs in Fresno to get table service. The service is exceptional the staff is attentive, the music is popping and the drinks are amazing! The staff here really does try to keep it as clean and classy as they can. Its refreshing to have a place in town that you can go enjoy drinks dancing and good music without fights breaking out all the time. I especially like being greeted by their new door girl, Christina. She is so fun friendly and has a great attitude.
Very cool place, celebrating a birthday on the patio... hostess McKenziewas awesome!!!
Amazing food! Amazing service! The best entertainment on the planet!
Best & safest Bar/Club in Fresno County
Good atmosphere, good table service, good crowd, music can be better, Well made cocktails, friendly waitresses and bar tenders. I think one of the better places in Fresno.
Great ambiance...nice having two separate areas for friends / family to entertain, one being inside & the other outside where live music was played
Very sociable environment...excellent mixed drinks, bar food equivalent to most fine restaurants, and high end entertainment on Friday evenings. Definitely worth a visit!
Nice atmosphere. good place to hang out with friends
Truly, enjoyed my time here. Came here to celebrate my friends birthday and had a blast. Great service, amazing drinks, cool atmosphere, and music was good. Recommended.
The atmosphere, Grown and Sexy, Music iff the scale, Food Great, Drinks Liberal and affordable and the service truly like no other in Fresno
Great service and friendly staff. Great place for private events. Unique Fresno venue.
This is a wonderful outdoor fun place to have drinks, appetizers and hang out with friends, the live music is awesome & all the services personnel are excellent...the owner is thoughtful & friendly.
This is the place to be!! Great drinks, dj, and nice ambiance.
Good food and nice atmosphere
Place was great! All the staff is nice. Went here for a small concert. All our requests were handled fast. Great food, drinks, and fun!
Nice place, but horrendous service. The bouncer punched my boy in the face because he didn’t finish his drink “fast enough”. Spend your money elsewhere.
Despered people not fun at all
Horrible customer service. First time visiting location from out of state and treated with complete disrespect, do not spend time or money on this establishment.
RAJA Is a great manager very friendly and very fair. I do security for this place and visited for the first time and had a blast the drinks on bottles are very reasonable the cleanliness is to perfection and the security always has things under control
I do frequent The Standard on Friday nights... my experience has always been GREAT!!! GREAT FOOD AS WELL AS ENTERTAINMENT. I decided to invite a few friends and co workers October 27 2018 to The haunted Mansion costume party. After 30 minutes of standing around with out service, we were passed by several times. When we finally received service it wasnt at all what Ive complimented this establishment on. Unfortunately my party and I had to take a loss on what we paid almost 30.00 per ticket. My review is only for this particular date, however service was so bad I wanted to utilize this platform for a voice regarding the experience . I will return on fridays and hopefully CONTINUE to appreciate the atmosphere that they are so well known for on Friday nights.
The atmosphere is what I come here for. Nice and relaxing
Food wasnt good, not enough staff drinks were the best thing when you finally got them.
Food, drinks and Keysha were great.
Great environment and Amanda is the best!
NEVER, EVER, EVER, AGAIN!!! Went there for my friends 30th bday, on a $1 taco Tuesday, which we informed the restaurant of before hand. The bday girl is a regular there, not me. I joined the party and when we arrived I was the first one to tell the group to order food. Infact, I was the first one to order. I get it, it was a lot of us and we all ordered food all at once, but when everyones orders starting coming out wrong I expressed myself. To be clear, bday girl only requested that her tacos be dressed with cabbage and Pico de gallo and not be plain. Easy right? The bar tender said, and I quote, I cant take them back. The kitchen is already annoyed that you guys ordered so much. WTF?!?!? I had to ask for a manager who I think just brushed me off. And on top of that, I waited an HOUR from the time or ordered my 6 tacos to the time I actually got them. Thats besides confirming twice that they really were coming. The service is terrible and the tacos were skimpy. I will NEVER go back.
Service was great and the food was incredible.
Went there on a Friday night with a few friends. Wifey and I were celebrating our anniversary and wanted to have a good time. The customer service we received was amazing. Tony showed us around the place since it was our first time there. Very elegant lounge! DJ Ernie was spinning good music. Not too loud, not like a club. Just loud enough to have a great time with a bit of dancing, but able to talk without screaming. No drama at this place. We got treated like royalty. Will definitely go there again!
Nice atmosphere however a couple of their security guards were extremely rude to my best friend who is handicapped not cool
Nice place but small and no seating unless a table is purchased.
Very nice and enjoy my time there
Horrible!! 0 stars! The bartender swipes a gift card we got from a friend, $50 worth. So naturally we order $50 worth of food and drinks. Another worker says, You cant use that. Its happy hour. Its 8pm when we leave!! Oh, so we have to come back to the poor service (didnt even get the appetizers we ordered), just to use this card?? Gift cards are supposed to be like cash!
Classy, good music, and cigars. Nuff said.
Celebrated my wifes surprise birthday party here after Christmas. Raj helped me set up an amazing dinner, appetizer and dessert ensemble for our guests. Our thirty some-odd guests all loved the food and restaurant ambiance. After dinner we took advantage of the lounge area & music and danced all night. I’m still hearing compliments from friends and family on the choice of venue and thought you all should know. Not as pricey as you might think for the location and food quality. We can’t wait to plan a spring/summer gathering here later this year.
Very quite during week.
Amazing place. Staff was fabulous
This place has the worst chicken tenders. And the bouncers are rude.
Great venue, super friendly service.
A man let me use the men’s restroom because the women’s line was so long and I was kicked out for it. I spoke with the bouncers after and apparently I was suppose to know that the policy for that is I’m to be kicked out and not allowed back in.This versus the girl who was so over served she was puking in the bushes which was deemed exceptable where as I broke a unspoken policy to which I was chavisted saying “I should have known better.” Well your bartenders and bouncers should maybe know better to make sure people aren’t drinking to the point of puking rather than spend so much time and resources over my bathroom choice.
Tim is the best, makes great drinks!
It was just a fun night
Very upscale spot
Keysha and Impromptu Band! Great Customer service and Raj keep me coming back...
Its a cool little bar...
The most violent nightclub scene I ever experienced. I hear the food and drink are overpriced and below standard, too. The owner steve is a dimwit.
Great place and great drinks.
The manager Raz is Prejudice against bikers who ride there with loud bikes with music.
The best high end Lounge in town, great for meetings, cannot go wrong in business casual attire.
Rajh the owner is awesome atmosphere of the place is clean and great drinks
I will be back with my coworkers.
Love the quiet atmosphere
Good service, good drinks and food, I just dont know about some of the regulars.
Excellent venue for a corporate event. Great selection of whiskeys.
I like the atmosphere the tacos were alittle dry but over all enjoyed the scenery
The dj Moses is one of the best djs in Fresno. The drink prices are great and the staff are outstanding!
The wings are delicious and its a cool but yet small atmosphere.
Good hang out spot, good place for drinks and dancing. It used to be an older crowd with less drama, but now younger proteome are going and every time I go there someone starts something and ruins the night.
Best selection of whiskeys in the 559, even some rare brands if you got the extra $ to treat yourself to some great shots. And those Ghost Pepper Wings are amazingly good for being so mouth burning hot...definitely one of my favorites to order :)
One of our favorite hangouts in Fresno. The food is very good and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We always order the seared ahi (Ive never had better seared ahi anywhere else!!!), calamari, and salmon... The tacos are also really good!! The manager came around to make sure that everything was okay with our food and that we were enjoying ourselves. At night, The Standard is a lounge and weve always had a good time...
I was a REGULAR customer for six years and all bartenders know my name and how calm and polite I am even when drinking . I was assaulted by SIX Bouncers and Security guards at this bar for no apparent reason, I was having conversation with somebody and they thought mistakenly it was altercation. I was thrown on the road adjacent to Standards bar. Security guards were twisting my arms and beating me up. And one security was on top of me holding my head and smashing my face on the road concrete and the manager PINTO was watching and did not stop them. I LOST CONSCIOUSNESS. They did not even call 911 for me; they brought taxi to take me home. Even taxi driver was mad because he saw the extent of the physical abuse. My girlfriend has to call 911 when I got home because I lost consciousness again. They tried to cover it by not letting my girlfriend record it with her iPhone. But she did manage to have video incriminating these security guards and Bouncers. I have head Trauma, face bruises, black eyes, broken Shoulder bone and shoulder muscles tears, many bruises on all my body, physical and emotional trauma and I am not able to work at this time.If you believe in human rights, you should BOYCOT them.They are slaves who fear to speakFor the fallen and the weak;They are slaves who will not chooseHatred, scoffing, and abuse,Rather than in silence shrinkFrom the truth they needs must think;They are slaves who dare not beIn the right with two or three.
Tried it again after being away for a few years. Was VERY disappointed. Why? Hair in blackened salmon, (really you comped my bill and thats It? Wouldnt have paid for hair additive). Masquerade ball was messy and disorganized, I dont recommend as a couple, this was definitely for singles. But the one star was for the hair in the food. Will not be back. Sorry Raj
Below The Standard! Terrible food and expensive prices. I ordered blackended halibut. It was dry and served with a few soft vegetables and mashed potatoes from a box. No bread at table or salad. My husband and son are too and we were all unhappy with the good.
Love it, thought it was gonna be boujie but the dj played good music. Food was bomb
Food was delicious. Just not the spot for someone on a budget.
Mixed crowd hella chicks
Great drink and atmosphere
Its In the corner of the whole strip, makes it tiny and tight in there. small restrooms, over priced drinks and service is a hit or miss, for the area its located I would have expected more, and no dance floor. dj plays awesome music!
The atmosphere is welcoming and the food is great.
Ok drinks and food. Packed full of DBs though.
Great service, cool bartenders. Mature crowd.
Can I rate it 10 stars? And that chef guy, wow.
Romantic atmosphere, food is ok.
Pricey drinks.. too many young kids
Its a hit or a miss deal here. Older crowd, good drinks and seating.
Drinks were a bit weak for the price, the music was great.
Live music was good.
Friendly service
Nice place
Younger crowd

Quite, clean with professional staff.
Great service, nice outdoor patio
Good local bar
Cool sophisticated resturant and lounge
