The dancers are very friendly and eager to dance for your tips. There is a cover charge which get you a soft drink. Most of the dancers want you to go to the upstairs loft with him for a VIP dance. The last time I was there it was $20 do use the loft plus a fee for how many songs you wanted the dancer to dance. Unfortunately, for me, there is way too many security cameras, watching you from every different angle heaven for bid, you have to sit there like a bump on a log, and don't even think of touching the dancer.

Fun atmosphere and a good find. My friend and I had a wonderful time here. The drinks were…read moredelicious! A bit pricey though, so be warned. My drink was almost $20. Also, the menu makes it sound like the drinks will be a little showy. For example, the drink I ordered said it would be poured out of a Bible. It was called "the blessing." And my friend's was supposed to be served in a piggy bank. And other drinks say they will be served in pineapples, have a fire element, etc. Which sounded super fun! However, it must have just been part of the speakeasy bit? Our drinks were normal cocktails served in normal cocktail glasses. A bit disappointing, so be warned if you are like us and were expecting some razzle dazzle!

I had a margarita and an espresso martini and both cocktails exceeded my expectations! The lime margarita was classic, slightly tart, and made me want another. The espresso martini was enjoyed by all - very smooth, full of flavor without making you feel full like some do because of too much cream, I assume. The space is cool, speak easy vibes, and the gentleman playing the piano was a nice tough with an ideal volume.

There was a live jazz pianist in every room. The ambiance was great. Keep in mind they don't have dinner food, just bar snacks, so don't come expecting a meal.

For a LONG time, I had been wanting to come here. Mostly because of the aesthetic and the history…read moreof this historic home in the Massillon community. I had never really heard much about the food, but I found it to be pretty delicious. It's not a cheap dinner by any stretch and this is more of a special-occasion type of venue. It was my birthday and though I don't really like to celebrate (or admit to) my birthday anymore, it was a nice place to try. My family, party of six, was seated in a room upstairs by ourselves. Cool little private dining alcove, painted with dark walls and sexy, almost what I would consider Halloweenesque, decor. Yessss, now they are singing my SONG. Service was good. Don't expect to get bread or any added extras with your meal. Pretty straightforward. We did try a couple of their specialty cocktails. The "Black Moon Rising" cocktail was a fun novelty, served in a skull-shaped mug, but it was a little sweet for my taste. The "Fashionably Late" was solid (similar to an old fashioned). Many things on the menu did seem to have a degree of spiciness, and it is not really a place that children would find something that they love. My son had the portobello mushrooms, which were okayyyyy, but very garlicky and peppery for a five year old's taste. I had the lemon shrimp and rice, which was just delicious. I loved it. My son liked that too and I think he probably would have enjoyed another order of that more than what he ordered. The French onion soup was hearty and good. Someone else in our party had the steak, which I tasted (yum) and the mahi mahi, which I did not get to taste, so it MUST have been good. Slice of HUGE birthday cake for dessert. Pro tip: don't order coffee with dessert. The coffee is weak and not good for $4.50 a cup. Anyhow, overall, I think it was a good dining experience, although I might make some different choices next time. Oh, and it IS allegedly haunted, but the hostess, nor the server know the details of the stories. Something about a dentist and a murder and another story about a little girl. My curiousity is piqued. Maybe a year or two ago I had reached out via email about hosting an event here for my tour company and I think my clientele would enjoy the stories and the history behind it all! Itching for more.....

My sister and I drove 30 minutes to get here on a Monday night, looking for something fun to do…read more Based on both their website and Yelp, it said they were open until 10 PM, so we figured it would be a great spot to check out. When we arrived, the owner and a few others were outside. As we walked up, he simply said, "We're closed." When we mentioned that the website and Yelp showed they were open, he told us they're not open on Mondays. It was disappointing, especially after making the trip. If they're closed on Mondays, they really need to update their online information. Even a small gesture--like offering a drink or just acknowledging the inconvenience--would have gone a long way, especially since they were already outside enjoying cigars and drinks themselves.

The setup has a wow factor as you enter the basement level of the building through a tunnel covered in plants and leading straight to your first photo opp! The circle with pink bench is a cute preview of what's inside. Once you check in with the hostess, enter through a door and welcome to the social club. Beautiful decor that mixes a level of sophistication with a little drama as you see the bright lights. Plenty of seating and even a private room that can be rented out. The drinks are phenomenal and the staff is friendly! The menu offers a mix of unique cocktails (and can be made as mocktail a too) and small bites. Upon recommendation, I tried the F.W. Marg drink. So good! The most unique aspect is the watermelon ice cube. As it melts the drink flavor changes. Creative & fun way to enjoy a cocktail. They open at 5pm, which would be a great spot for chill happy hour. Later in the evening, you'll experience more of a lounge/club vibe. Great edition to downtown CLE!

I'm so happy we did because Stella made sure we had a stellar time (she put the Stella in Stellar? Sorry, nerd status) and the food provided was super fresh and the staff was so attentive. We had a pretty large group all come in at once and they got us through quickly with our first round of drinks! The ambiance is intimate enough where you can step aside to a table for a nice convo or large enough to create a dancing space where we you're at... which was exactly what some of us did because the music was just too tempting. From a more organized event to a late night par-tay mentality, the subtle and eclectic vibes of Lost put you in the right head space. Highly recommend!

She made sure i had everything and my drink was never empty. She even accommodated me by making a mocktail into a cocktail. It was my birthday today and she managed to make me feel very special. This is a family owned restaurant. I got to meet the cook (Tiffany's mom) and i can tell this family takes pride in what they do. I will DEFINITELY be back. This was a nice introduction to Akron, as I just moved here recently. I can't recommend Papa Don's enough!
