I was really looking forward to experiencing Bar Maaya for their Sax Saturdays and Galentine’s Weekend event, but unfortunately, it was a complete letdown.
From the moment we arrived, the experience felt off. Despite their heavy promotion of a fun, vibrant Galentine’s celebration, my friend and I—the only friend pair in the entire venue—were seated in a dimly lit back room, completely isolated from the main dining area. Meanwhile, the main seating area was filled with couples, and despite two empty tables near the entrance, we were told we could only sit at the bar if we wanted to move. To note, those same tables remained empty throughout our entire visit!
When we asked about Sax Saturdays, the waitress was unnecessarily rude and passive-aggressive. We could hear music but couldn’t tell if it was live since we were seated so far in the back. Her response? A sarcastic “Yeah, this is it. That’s what you’re hearing, the sax.” When I clarified that I was asking because we couldn’t see anything, she simply said, “It’s happening in the other room.” No offer to move us, no attempt to accommodate us—just a dismissive attitude.
We eventually moved ourselves to the bar, which was an uncomfortable experience in itself. The bar stools are right by the entrance, and we were hit with a constant cold breeze the entire time. As for the actual event? The “live music” was just two guys at the front with inconsistent sound quality—at times, the speakers randomly got louder or quieter. The Galentine’s decor they hyped up? Just a few cheap cut-out hearts stuck to the wall.
The drinks were overpriced for what little “theatrical” effect they had, and the food was nothing special—small, unimpressive appetizers. The only redeeming factor was the bar staff, who were actually friendly and professional.
For a place that brands itself as an immersive experience with top-tier ambiance, this was anything but. Overhyped, poorly managed, and unwelcoming—definitely not worth the visit!
