    Low key, chill and good vibes! You can always count on the staff to be consistently kind and attentive. The ambiance is so striking, definitely sets the mood. Drinks are 10 out of 10. It's a go to spot for me and guests always.

    Went for a private birthday party event and the staff was so kind! Drinks were great and we were able to select from their extensive list of craft cocktails, the host's special cocktails of the evening or we could create our own. The bartenders were thoughtful and creative. Very cute space, ambiance was very chill and the playlist was really good.

    Honestly, this is the second time I've tried to experience Anansi and unfortunately was disappointed. Love the ambiance and the decor, it's a super pretty space however the service is always a bit flat and the drinks are expensive and not good at all. I got a blueberry lemon drop and it tasted like blueberry sugar water, there was not real lemon or tartness to it. We also had a friend get Remy Martin and they gave him a double shot for $60 (that's insane). I really wish the drinks and service was better because it really is super pretty.

    This place is a whole vibe! From the ambiance to music! Its so cute!! The drinks are good! I has a mocktail which was delicious!! My friend has a alcoholic drink it was pretty good. Customer service is excellent! I highly recommend. No food here but if your wanting to meet some here for drinks, lite snacks and chitchat its perfect!

    Stopped here on a Thursday night. We went late for cocktails and weren't disappointed. They are known for martinis. Both our drinks were stiff. And very well balances. The vibe is speakeasy with tall ceilings. Dark decor and the music is fantastic for conversation. Not sure if weekends are more raucous but I'll stop by spoon to check it out again.

    Beautiful intimate lounge with a what I can describe as an enchantingly sexy ambiance. The decor is intentional story telling. The drinks are well crafted. There is a full bar but the crafted drinks are flavorful and well made. Clean and artsy all the way through to the bathroom. The staff was quick & friendly. The curated mix of music is something that any ear would appreciate. Recommend for 2-4 people to sit, drink & talk

    I liked the vibe and the music here but the drinks were just ok for the price. I might come back but I'd order just a regular drink on a big rock instead of a cocktail.

    Came here for a girls' night and it was so much fun! The music is lo-fi R&B, and it plays popular songs but in a vibey mix. It's super dim and sexy lighting, and the drinks are strong! Parking is free in the apartment parking surface and garage lot, which was a little confusing at first. Also--bar snacks are about all they serve food-wise, so I wouldn't come hungry! Service is really good too, and the venue felt very clean and curated. Definitely coming back!

    Ambiance is cool. This has to be my third time here my bf likes it. However we both agree the drinks are not great and the bartenders always seems inexperienced, if I'm paying those prices I want an experience bartender. We also like that it's never crazy pack and easy to find a seat however that also probably why it's never busy they drinks aren't great. Seems black owned and I want to support but I want to spend my money on things worth it and unfortunately this place is not.

    Great drinks and atmosphere. Cosmo was nice, light, and refreshing. My husbands house tequila and spite were perfect to split and have a conversation without loud music interrupting. Will recommend :)

    Interior decor *blurry

    The decor is absolutely beautiful! Opulent and cozy. It is a very small space and great for dates, not so much large groups. The drinks were good, especially during happy hour 6-8pm M-F where drinks are $9. The staff is very nice, however there is only one woman doing EVERYTHING, which doesn't accommodate quick/efficient service. I do recommend.

    This lounge is the perfect spot for a great drink and chill but sexy vibe. It's great for a date spot or a girls night out. You will need to eat first though because they do not offer food. The staff are so friendly and welcoming.

    Beautiful space that is perfect for a solo date, proper date or friends night. I came with my sister on a Tuesday night and we got a couple of cocktails to hang (price around $13-16, and they add 20% gratuity). The parking was right outside (spot is located on the bottom level of the apartments). The music was a great volume so you don't have to yell. It's very intimate with vintage couches and beautiful decor. I will definitely be back.

Now about the food, the wings were in fact small, but I prefer small wings over jumbo. They were tasty. I would have preferred them a little more crispy but now I know to ask. I had the naked wings as opposed to the southern fried. My partner had the fried whiting basket. While the price was right $17 we both felt that while a tasty white fish was served, we didn't think it was whiting based on its thickness. Disappointed that water cost $8.00 and we were not informed before we ordered. Had we known water cost as much as beer, we would have had two beers and shared a water. The fried were also perfect. Also important to note that there is a 20% service charge added to the bill. We will come back in two weeks, next Sunday with #housemusic but will eat before we come and not order any water.

    Amazing food, service, and venue! I stumbled across Nite Owl when looking for a Taco Tuesday…read morespecial, and I'm so glad I did. It is located in a multi use complex with a variety of businesses including a hair salon and little gym for the kids at play. The common areas featured hamdmade artwork, accessible ramps, and sparkling clean restrooms. Free parking is located on the street surrounding the building. Our wonderful server explained the menu, which consisted of many build your own items, including pizzas and calzones. We were here for the tacos, but after 1 each were were still a bit hungry, so we ordered a 6 piece lemon pepper wing appetizer as well. The tacos were flavorful, but I'm going to be honest here... they were not worth driving across town for. The birria was tasty but the chicken and steak were a bit dry and lacked flavor. The wings were much better though, they were served extra wet and they were juicy and crispy. As mentioned the layout and decor were impressive. The indoor space was cozy with booth and table seating, and a bar at the rear of the restaurant. Did I mention we had our share of margaritas? They were tasty and the fruit flavors were delicious and refreshing. I will definitely return for a weekend gathering on the patio; from their IG they have events with live DJs and theme nights. Patio season is upon us!

    I know I'm a little late with this review--it's been about a week--but I had to share my…read moreexperience. We visited Voss Lounge on Wednesday, April 1, excited for happy hour after seeing their Instagram flyer advertising $5 drinks, small apps, and hookah. Well...that's not exactly what we got. Once we arrived, we were told those $5 specials were actually for Tuesdays--not Wednesdays--and that detail was not clear on Instagram. I was told it was listed on their website, but let's be real...this is 2026--people are checking IG and TikTok, not websites. If you're promoting on social media, it needs to be accurate. We got there around 4:15 PM (happy hour starts at 4), and the place was empty--music wasn't even on yet. My party of four was seated right away, and we ordered drinks, food, and hookah. The lounge itself was beautiful--decked out in red and black with a really nice vibe. I had lemon drops and wings--both were actually really good. No complaints on the food or drink at all. But just know, the wings were not $5 since that special didn't apply that day. Now...the hookah experience? A complete mess. The hookah wasn't $5 either--it was $25 if I recall correctly. The hookah attendant recommended a flavor that was honestly not good at all. When we told her we didn't like it and asked to switch flavors (which we were willing to pay for), she tried to make us purchase a refill instead of simply fixing the issue. We asked to speak to a manager. She went to the back and spoke with someone who I later found out was the owner--but he never came out to address us. That alone didn't sit right with me. Instead, she came back, grabbed the hookah, and walked off. No explanation, no replacement--nothing. It felt like, "We won't charge you, but you're also not getting another one." That whole situation completely turned us off. Now I will give credit where it's due--our waitress was an absolute sweetheart. Friendly, attentive, and she did her best to take care of us. But overall, between the misleading Instagram promotion, the poor hookah experience, and the lack of management presence...this just wasn't it for me. Giving Voss 2/5 for good food, a beautiful space, and a great waitress Everything else? Needs work. Unfortunately, I won't be back!

We arrived during the happy hour special. When at the bar, I was charged something different than at the table for the same drink during happy hour. But whatever. Additionally, I ordered lemon pepper wings. Those wings were so small, we were convinced it didn't come from a chicken lol. And the lemon pepper was just salt, I ended up taking lemon from my drink to squeeze it on the chicken. Also, our food did not come out at the same time. One person got her meal and finished before anyone else did. The waitress was cool and we thought she was going to get everything but at the end the billing was a disaster and took quite some time to get resolved. Lastly, parking was free and easy to find! But overall, we still enjoyed ourselves. I might would go back, if I just sat at the bar or didn't have a big table.

The service has been great, and the waitstaff is super knowledgeable about their drinks and food. It's such a cool vibe inside, but it is very dark. It's kinda hard to see the menu - I wish they put small handheld flashlights on the tables. Multiple tables around us were using iPhone flashlights to see the menu which were so bright. The food is always incredible, and I'm partial to their seafood options. I've had both the snapper and the trout, and they were exceptional. Their cocktail menu is 10/10.

We snagged an early dinner reservation at 5:15 pm and surprisingly, people were already dining and they just got busier as time went on. We were greeted right away by our wonderful server (forgot her name though) and she asked if it was our first time there and if we were celebrating something. We answered yes to both and they actually brought us complimentary champagne, a sparkling non-alcoholic cider for me because I ordered a zero proof drink. Kimball House is known for their amazing bar program, so my husband ordered a Kimball House served with a side of olives and lemon twist on ice, like what?! I ordered a ginger & honey lime fizz to enjoy. For starters, we also enjoyed Hawaiian rolls, green salad and some oysters for my husband. The rolls and salad came out super fast, but there was quite a wait for our drinks and oysters that I didn't think they were going to come out. The rolls are a must-get here - they're huge and the strawberry preserve it was served with was delicious! The salad was actually split in half, which was a super nice touch and was plenty of serving between two people. We loved the dressing - it was nice and fresh. For our entree, I ordered a trout and my husband ordered the duck breast. I was a bit underwhelmed when I saw my plate because I was thinking it would be a plate full of grits, but what was served was the perfect amount because it was quite heavy. The trout by itself was too salty for my taste, but was best eaten with a bite of collards and grits. My husband enjoyed his meal, but wished the duck was cooked a bit more. For dessert, we both enjoyed a Paris Brest. Our server actually put it in twice so we each got one when she meant to only punch in one, but she ended up taking one off from our bill. I was quite shocked that our whole dinner was only around $190, not including tip, which I thought was quite reasonable. We definitely recommend this place for date night or simply for delicious food.

Stopped in for a drink or two, but stayed a little bit longer for the music and The vibes. I was there on a weekend night, and it was super chill and had a really good performance situation happening on stage. This one is a little bit weird because you have to do certain things to be able to get in. It's not like it's an escape room situation, but at the same time, it's a little active. Not overly active to where you would be taxed when you get there. But you have to go follow some instructions and once you get in it's all gravy! There's a lot of space for table so you can sit in front of the stage or you can sit in the back or the bar is which is also very pristinely kept. Or their ceas behind that. And there's even a bowl of alley somewhere in the cut. It is a really really good spot. The entertainment was on point. They were playing a lot of hits, lot of old school which I appreciate it. Loved it. The drinks were fired. The bartender had a lot of personality and it was super engaging. Just what you want from Superior customer service. I would 101% go back. It was a lot of fun and a really good vibe. We just happened to walk in off of humbug, but I actually might remember reservations next time. Actually sit in the crowd to enjoy the music. Loved it.

Upon arriving, we were asked if we knew the secret passcode. I didn't realize we needed to know a passcode, but the guy gave us some hints, and we eventually got it. We were instructed to go downstairs with a paper slip and "deposit" it into a deposit box downstairs. Upon doing this, we were granted access inside! It was pretty cool honestly! We sat at the bar upon arriving and ordered some drinks. They have a really nice drink menu with different cocktails and all the other liquors. They also have a full food menu too. Some people around us got food, and honestly, it looked really good! Our bartender Joey, was awesome! He was friendly and answered some of our questions about the drinks. He even made us espresso martini shots!! Hats off to Joey! The vibes inside are very prohibition-y. They had live music when we went, and I think they have live music most days during the week too. Roaring Social is located in downtown Decatur, so not too far of a walk from many other shops/bars/restaurants. We ubered, so I am not too familiar with parking, but I think there are parking garages nearby and street parking. I would definitely come back here in the future!
