Sometimes, when surrounded by the commercial trappings of this world (and accompanied by some dear…read morefriends who, very fairly and understandably, wish to experience and embrace them), one needs a refuge. A place where you can escape (hide?) and enjoy a beverage or two in peace, and prepare for what the day will bring next. This is such a place. Even on a day when the streets were packed, stumbled across this little gem with some friends while our other friends were shopping. Couldn't have asked for a better find. Very chill, quality drinks, friendly bartenders who welcomed us in and made sure we didn't want for refreshment...good stuff!

I used to chill at Loreley back in the early 00s and always had a great time there. It's been a…read morelong time since I've been back there. So last weekend I was in the area and was wondering if they were still around and to my surprise they were still open in the same location that I remembered. So I decided to give them a try again after almost 15+ yrs and it was just like I remembered, the food was phenomenal and the beer was amazing! Definitely give them a shot if you're in the area, I'm very happy they're still around because I'll be going there more frequently.

We rolled in at 1pm on a Saturday without a reservation, but the hostess was accommodating and ushered us to the back patio. Seems to get busy fast when the weather is nice (20 minutes after being seated the patio seating was full, so definitely book ahead if you can.) If you're a fan of good drafts (didn't try any food) and soaking up the sun, this is your spot. The beer list is as extensive as you'd expect, and the atmosphere was buzzing, everyone seemed happy to be there. A perfect neighborhood find.

They have sports playing on TVs above the bar so that's nice if you want to dissociate a bit. Came here after a birthday dinner and had a El Spicy Rico which was actually pretty good. I wouldn't choose to come here just because the demographic and music, but if I were 21, I could see myself coming here.

Cancion, the…read moreevent coordinator, was extremely responsive beforehand and answered all of my questions in detail which made the planning process super easy. Upon arriving, I was immediately greeted by the manager and other staff to make sure I was all settled for my party, which I really appreciated. This space has a partnership with a pizza place up the street to order food but also provides flexibility to bring in your own food which a lot of places do not allow. They also allowed me to bring balloons and cake which many places also don't allow. I had around 40 people and there was plenty of space to sit down or stand. It wasn't too loud so I was able to have a conversation with friends while also enjoying the music. The music was great and we even stayed afterwards to enjoy the DJ and the vibes were still strong. If you're looking for a private space, this is the perfect spot for your party! My friends are still talking about how cool this space was and were very impressed!

With its black and white pics on the walls in in the front window this place oozes history. I've enjoyed a few pints here which were fairly priced, but have not ordered food.

This happened to a member of my party. I understand that it's busy and loud, but I still hope that myself and my party will be treated with honesty and kindness. We, unfortunately, didn't experience that, and it was a big disappointment.
