Was here the other day, tried to buy a bottle / section to be comfortable and they quoted up a price and then the manager decided to change his mind because he was in a "bad mood". Very sketchy business practices won't ever return. read more

Excellent Establishment...The food was tasty! Hats off to the staff their Customer Service Skills Are on Point! read more

This place was a lot better when it was" Flames" .It was your friendly neighborhood bar. I think the current owner is TRYING to make it more of a club but the venue is wayyyy too small. In the last few years he's added wall seats, V.I.P ..for what??? Drink prices have increased tremendously, wings aren't as good as they used to be. I think the New owner is greedy with the cover charge which is something that "Flames" never had unless there was a comedian or something special going on. Empire lounge is just trying to do tooooo much with such little space. Just make it like it was..a BAR. . unless you're going to expand. # MyAdvice read more

Excellent food! It's been nearly 20 years since I've had good pepper soup with goat meat. I swear they were cooking this pot all day!! Soon good!! Also great drinks from bartender Eric! Try his "exotic sunrise" light and fruity, but good! read more

Food is awesome, service is good but it takes a while to get food and drinks. But it worth the wait on the food. Bartenders need a little more experience making drinks. They make them strong but they need to be drinkable unless you are just trying to get toasted.....band on Thursday is also the greatest #Gritzand jellybutter. read more

I came here with a few friends on a Friday night. The music was okay at first but then they kept switching to karaoke. -_- the crowd was also an older crowd (late 30s-late 40s). Needless to say we left to another spot. read more

Couples night out this is not the place to go. RATCHET ASS HELL!!!! 30 minutes and out the door. $150.00 for a booth definitely not worth the money. Website is misleading. read more

A group of friends and I came here after a funeral a few weeks ago to celebrate the life of our friend. Although, the circumstances were depressing the atmosphere definitely brightened up the mood. The food was great, the music was great, and the drinks were even better ! We came late afternoon on a Saturday, right when it opened so got to enjoy the space before the larger crowds came in. I ordered the teriyaki wings which comes with fries I believe. The wings were the right amount of crispy with more than enough sauce tossed on top...just the way I like my wings :) I am definitely coming back here again. read more

I fell in love with this place! Love going here! over the past 2 years, i can honestly say i brought over 25 people with me and they absolutely loved it too. AJ (owner) is a sweetheart, and very professional. The Karaoke host (DJ Leo), music, food, security, atmosphere is all AMAZING!. Hopefully this place will considering expanding, because it can get a little tight, but enough space to move around. Get there early, because it become crowded after 9:00 pm. read more

If I could give the 0 stars I would. Terrible service food is awful. I hope people don't waste their time with this place. The environment is filthy too. The managers were very disrespectful these people should not be opened. They need a health inspection. read more

I Love this spot. The atmosphere, food, is awesome, along with the drinks and hookah. If you're looking for a nice spot to go to, or have a party..this is the place. read more

Run away from this place! First a waitress told me and my friends that there was no tables; only sections that I would have to pay for. When there was actually tables available in the back. That should've been a red flag but we already paid $10 each to get in. Then the service was terrible. She took our order. Came back 30 minutes later and asked us what we ordered! Then she came back with the wrong order. Then she over charged us. Even though we asked her repeatedly to correct it she kept messing up. We have to dispute it with our bank. Terrible service. Music was okay. I will never go back though. The service was just so bad. read more

Food was over cooked charged for drinks that we didn't receive. Waitress was very argumentative charged for hookah refill that was never received. Got tired of arguing paid the check and left. Be aware if you go to this place. read more

We went on Friday night for a hour to join my mom it was cool but then My husband went last night by himself and he had an awful experience!!! He bought a section to have to himself that came with a bottle cool for $150. At first it was security who kept coming over to tell him he needs to get up from the section which he told them that he had already purchased and that they need to go talk to the waiter. A lot of miscommunication on the staff part! Then the Manager came over to apologize once they realized he did purchase the section! But the kicker was the waitress asked my husband was it okay if she sat some of the managers friends in his section?! Of course he said no why would he say yes he wanted to be alone and he payed for it! He had to run ppl off from trying to sit in the section most of the time he was there. He also stated the wings and tacos were not good! And to make matters worst he was stopped on his way out the door and asked did he pay his tab.They need to work on customer service especially customers willing to pay for premium services! read more

I only got to the front door. They required a cover charge of $10.00 per couple. I've been to this location when it was called Flame and we know how small it is. Hubby and I got there about 10:50 and there was a cover charge so we decided to leave because we know how small and how many tables would be available at the hour. It might be a great spot but not to pay a cover charge to stand in a corner to eat my meal. read more

When spending your money with this place with the African cuisine. Make No Mistake the Owner/Manager's only concern is about getting as much money out of YOU AND YOURS as Fast as he can then on to the next sucker. They have no regard for your experience...To the point they will seat others at your table as you dine for dinner! Just to maximize profit...This is America, not Africa. read more

Came out on 01/18/2019 and a had a blast with my co workers and others who attended the lounge. The DJ before 12am was the best to me hands down. Let's just say the night came to a turn of events once I was getting ready to leave. I was speaking to a young lady by front door asking her if they had a lost and find and what was the hours to call. OUT OF NOWHERE THIS RUDE SECURITY GUARD told me rudely to just go outside to read hours on sign . After that proceeded to attack me with his words as much as to say MY MOTHER SHOULD HAVE SPIT ME OUT!! The Gwinnett police officers didn't even say anything to this so called MAN and just stood there. Something has to be done about this SECURITY GUARD be done to him ASAP!! read more

I cant believe how horrible the female waiting our table was and I know she not serious abt her money nor this establishment's money. I normally TIP 50% but not tonight. ZERO TIP! The TIP I gave was FIND A NEW JOB! Some dude came in and our waitress went sat down, started smoking hookah and totally forgot she was working. I had to get my own drinks from the bar and etc. She came back 20 mins increments. I felt like walking out on her lazy a**. Get the FOH.. If I was the manager all she could have done was left- I would have dropped her off the payroll like the NYE's ball had just dropped. I began coming here when they first open in 2017 and I had a rapport with the female manager from Chicago bc I moved here from Chi-town in 2017. I have bought so many ppl to this spot. But I haven't been here in abt 6-7 mos and so much has changed. I know the Manager from Chicago doesn't know abt this pathetic waitress. I complained to the on-duty manager but I am not sure he did anythg. Bc the waitress did not give "2 bronze pennies" about her quality of work. Looking at these reviews this spot doesnt believe YELP CAN make you or shut you down. I will be surprised if this place is open in 3 yrs with this type of service. To make matters worst, the DJ HAD A "TOOSIE ROLL OF WAX" IN both EARS. The music was so freaky loud we had to scream our orders out to the bar tenders. We were like why are we screaming at each other?? THE Dj had to be DEAF! Needless to say we didnt eat, we had 3 drinks and LEFT. This is normally a good spot but this particular Saturday night-boo boo boo- it was HORRIBLE. I hope if you go its on a good night bc this is usually nice spot. read more

My husband and I just left there. The waitress over charged us. We ordered chicken Tacos 7. And philly cheese sandwich 9. We also drank water. Only 1 cup of water each. After church today we wanted to have a small date night since we work opposite shifts. Our bill was $38.16. And I even left a generous tip paying $45.96. We will not be back as we have been there on a Friday before. Over charged & lost some great customers. Husband realized since I was unaware of what he had order till I gave him a receipt. Disappointed hard working wife. There goes date night. read more

Great lounge to come to and the service has always been good to me. Good music, good karaoke and good food.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!!! From the food, drinks, hookah BLUEBERRY , fun atmosphere , pool table..... I'm not going to continue to bore you.. go see for yourself you won't be disappointed. read more

Not really impressed. There was a comedian there and all that came out of his mouth was the n word, the f bomb and the p word. Not somewhere I would take a date. Maybe I will try back on another night when something else is going on. read more

Great food and drinks I really enjoyed this place.... Great customer service and vibe I will definitely come again soon...

This place is the epitome of black owned companies, not only was the Manger a asshole but he didn't care for our business, Saturday October 7th 2017 we came to celebrate a birthday party. after getting bottle service, two ($30) hookahs, buck of beer and food, table well over $500. A drunk women fell into the section knocking over the 2 hookahs 3 beers and the bottle! Security threw the lady out, management didn't not care to come over and apologize or anything the bottle girl tired to fix the problem but the manger didn't want to hear it, security then walks pass slips on the beer on the floor and knocks over our food, He then tired to put it back in the container and hand it to us!!! "Really dude" Instead of the manger taking off the 2 hookahs and 3 beer and food that was knocked over he did no such thing! Remember he didn't come out to speak to us! So he left a situation to be handled by his bottle girl! Not once waiting a whole hour for the girl to try to get help was another hookah brought out more beer or food! NEVER WILL I EVER LET ANYTHING SPEND MONEY HERE! read more

Went here on a Friday night with some friends who were in town visiting. We had a great time and the lemon pepper wings were excellent. This was my second time here, would go back for sure. read more

My bartender Yanie was super nice and makes awesome drinks! The jerk wings are also excellent! This is one of the top locations to visit in Gwinnett. read more

I have been to this place a few times now and I am a huge fan of it. The food is great in many varieties and I love the mature atmosphere. The drinks are wonderful and they give you the good stuff for sure :-) If you like those things you will love this soulful place. read more

My cousin just keeps saying "woooaaah we found a neighborhood bar!" First time and sure won't be the last time! Henny margaritas and bob Marley will have you litty! The chicken and waffles are to die for! And the shrimp quesadilla is decent! Dezzi is an amazing bartender! My cousin and mom literally want to adopt her. I think Tay is a great hookah girl wish she could also be behind the bar she seems like a great host as well! read more

The wings were awful and it took a long time to get a simple order. The music is way too loud and when the band sang, the sound was so off, you couldn't hear the singer. It could be a really cute local place with some attention paid to the setup and food. Prices were ok. Not rushing back but I would give them another chance, read more

** Most certainly forgot to mention that this place does offer karaoke, pool playing, and hookahs. **

The ambiance of this spot is one of Gwinnett finest. The owners are very polite and make you feel welcomed along with the staff. The food and drinks are superb. My favorite dish is the Tilapia whole fish with plantains. They also have a variety of great DJ's on the weekend along with hookah. After my first visit I was hooked. Now, I am a regular. This is one of very few places I'm comfortable with going alone. Good all around chill spot. read more

That's right - Whoohoo! Empire Lounge is as good as it gets! It is a well-kept secret that you need to know about and visit. I am a regular customer and absolutely love this place. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, fun, friendly and inviting! The food is delicious. The shrimp and grits are very tasty and of course the wings with sweet potato fries are a must have. These are my two favorite menu items but ALL of the food is good. If you want a good drink for your buck - Empire Lounge is the place to go. The drinks are never watered down. Trust me - NEVER!! It's the morning after that makes you go hummmm. LOL!! The music and entertainment is great! They play a variety of diverse music to appease all who come. If you like to dance, there is space for dancing. If you like to play cards/poker and/or shoot pool, you can do it at Empire Lounge. They have other entertainment such as comedy and karaoke - Hilarious! To top it all off, their customer service is top notch! As for the owners, They are the Greatest! You can't help but love them as much as you will love the place itself. Marilyn read more
