    I had a very fun time here on Halloween night!!
    Lisa H.

    I really liked this bar!! It was cozy and the people were friendly! By the time we got there, we could only get a drink but I had my Sex on the Beach as usual and really loved it! I had wanted to come here for the Halloween Costume Contest but we couldn't find it until I remembered we could use Google Maps and found it right away!! Maybe next time we can be in a Halloween Contest! It was still a memorable night And we were told about a Haunted Mansion that my husband and I have to check out one day!! Hey, Halloween makes ya think of the Ghosts and Ghoulies and we are very Spiritually open!! Hopefully one day, we find a place with real Hauntings, super exciting!! If you want to be around good people who care and a small time feel where people know each other, this was That Place!! Definitely a fun time had by us both!!

    Ahhh, the Apartment lounge.. I truly hold this place dear to my heart and it will forever be my go-to for sangria! First, the sangria that I rave about is strong yet deceivingly sweet. It tastes fruity with a hint of a bite but I have definitely learned to stop at 1 despite the coy flavor. I usually go for the red pitcher of sangria but I switch it up now and again and enjoy the white which is just as good. The atmosphere is vibrant, welcoming and lively. They have popcorn to munch on while you enjoy the festivities which I always ask for 2 baskets of. lol The LGBT+ community is definitely celebrated in this establishment and anyone else for that matter, truly. J'adore the sense of camaraderie here! I would recommend for sangria lovers and anyone whom enjoys an animated, friendly, inclusive environment!

    I had never been here before, but was instantly made comfortable by the guy who waited on us. Such an amazing sense of humor. Not only that, but I greatly appreciate when I'm talked to line a person and not a patron. 100% going to come back for Daniel alone. They clearly knew what they were doing and despite how busy it was gave perfect service.and I loved that when I asked for their name I got an amazing note. Made me feel so good after a busy day at work.

    I just got called out for being a dirty whore with my four stars. Well, I think I brought it on myself since I mentioned it a few weeks ago myself... but it's one thing to call yourself a whore and a whole 'nother thing when someone else calls you one... right? Right. Well, The Apartment Lounge is well deserving of the four stars. It would get five, but nowhere gets five. One reason for four is that it's cash only. And one reason that it's not three is that it's way too good to be a three. Four is the new five anyway. It's like being a teacher and never handing out an A+. Four is the rule, five is the exception to it. If we were to be grading on a scale of ten, I'd be giving eights. If it were a scale of seven, five would prevail, six would happen often, and seven even more rarely than a five or ten does or would. I miss The Apartment.

    Just arrived in the GR and stopped to get a drink and loved the place. It just so happened to be a gay bar which worked out even better for me. I love the inside decor being dark, leather and old fashioned. Serves free popcorn on request (because I definitely was not given any). Affordable drinks with a great neighborhood vibe with the locals. If I am ever back in the GR, I will definitely stop back in :)

    It's a solid spot to meet up before/after a show or if you're otherwise hanging at the Amway. I've…read morebeen here at least a dozen times. Servers and bartenders have always been friendly--and fast. They know their cocktails and they're remarkably consistent with the mixes. My old fashioneds tasted the same every time I've gone. Very limited menu, but it'll do the trick when you're in a rush (or if the Lumberbaron Bar has already closed its kitchen). I like the pizzas, especially the mushroom. Don't let the name fool you. It also comes covered with savory cubes of bacon and fresh greens. It's good! I also like the wide open layout. You never feel crowded. Great place to spread out for a cocktail and light bite.

    What an amazing experience!!! We came here for one of their monthly events. We found out about it…read morethat day and the tickets were no longer available. But we took our chances and the manager was able to get us in! So glad he did. They have these types of tastings every month. December will be a champagne pairing. I definitely plan to come back for that! They did a beautiful presentation. We got to try three different scotches which were paired with delicious small plates of food. Afterwards, we went to the bar area and had a drink. The service here was impeccable. The food was delicious and the signature cocktails were delightful! The hotel itself is gorgeous and I was happy we got to experience it all decked out for Christmas!

    My initial experience was frustrating. I ordered through Uber Eats and only received about half of…read moremy order. After contacting the restaurant, I was told the missing items would be remade and ready in about 20 minutes. It ultimately took closer to 45 minutes, and I had to drive to the restaurant myself to pick up food that should have arrived correctly the first time. That said, what changed my opinion was how the team handled the situation afterward. The General Manager personally came out, apologized sincerely, gave me her card, and told me to contact her directly so she could make things right. She took ownership of the mistake rather than making excuses, which I genuinely appreciated. Nobody likes dealing with a missing order, and there is definitely room for improvement in their Uber Eats process. However, mistakes happen in every business. What matters is how a company responds when things go wrong, and Stella's showed they care about their customers and reputation. Not a perfect experience, but the recovery effort and customer service earned back a lot of goodwill. We'll give them another chance.

Had to flag them down to order food, get condiments for the food, get more water. Never got any silverware or napkins. Also didn't know if you can order food online. She had her thumb up her a$$ the hole time. It was not busy at all. We stayed and it got busier, she did do a lot better once it got busier! Was my birthday and I could tell it was my birthday and no single worker ever told me happy birthday! The other shift after about 5pm ish was a lot better!!
