I have to start by saying that I have been coming to Lions for about 10 years. So my review is not…read morebased on one experience. The thing that keeps me coming here is consistency! The people who run the place and those they hire to work here is what has made it last. You can have goods and services provided to you anywhere but if you don't feel welcomed and taken care of, what the business offers is irrelevant. The food is good. The hookah is good. The drinks are good. And the prices are reasonable! Always have been. Which is to be appreciated in Atlanta. The atmosphere is great and shifts depending on when you come. As a two sided lounge (day time & night life) you can get the best of both worlds at one place. The day time side allows people to come for anything from a calm place to do some work, have a business meeting, bring a date, etc. the night time side gives you an intimate party experience with talented DJs and no commotion. I've brought everyone here from friends, to family (including my mom) and acquaintances. I love it here and they have a life long customer!

Only gripe I hav is the damn bathroom situation. That's a problem. One stall each in both men and women. Sheesh!! Other than that. This spot is actually perfectly located near all the poppin spots. Really doesn't start kickin off till near closing time it gets fasho lively then. Pizza wasn't bad at all either. I'll be honest. I don't expect it to be as good as it was. Pasta was solid too. Wait staff was very polite and responsive. Music was good with the live DJ. Definitely why I would consider a pre party before the party spot. IMO.. I'd say if your from outta town or even a local and haven't been. You should definitely make this a stop. Everyone should experience this place once at the very least in their life.

This location used…read moreto be Cafe Istanbul and is now Sky Lounge, and they've done a great job refreshing the experience. One of the best parts is how easy it is when you arrive--you can walk right in, pick your table, and get settled without any hassle. They have call buttons at each table to request a server, which makes ordering seamless. The service was really good--attentive, quick, and consistent throughout. The hookah itself was a standout. They offer a wide range of flavors, ice hoses, and use silicone bowls, which I personally love. Everything was smooth and well-prepared. There was also a DJ playing, which added a nice vibe to the atmosphere, and they have a large menu with plenty of food options. I tried the wings--they were decent, nothing special--but overall, the experience, hookah quality, and service make this a solid spot to come back to.

This has been my little hidden gem for about two years now. It's been my study spot. The food is…read moredecent especially the garlic naan, hookah is reasonably priced, and all the male servers are really sweet and welcoming. But there is a new lady who has been there a lot recently who kind of just throws off the whole vibe of the place. She always gives off an attitude and like she doesn't want to be there. Then when you ask her for anything, it takes her forever to bring it out. Then I notice you really need to look over your receipt with her because there is always some type of overcharge when I deal with her. But besides the lady, my only other complaint is the new mandatory 18% gratuity per ticket plus 3% card fee they add on! Like for one person they automatically add 18% gratuity which is insane especially when you have to hunt down ppl for refills and to go boxes! Oh and The espresso martinis are good but I think they water down most of their drinks and the shots, especially if you get more than one round

Whoever is management is doing a great job at keeping up the establishment. Seating was very comfy with dining options, inside and outside. Comfy couches, and standard chairs There's also bar seating. The customer service was great, and on point. The drinks were well crafted, and tasty. The food... the flavors were amazing! My date ordered the bowl. Every ingredient perfectly cooked, and executed! Never had anything like it. I had a pork belly taco & flautas. Amazing! No joke. The pork belly was so delicious & cooked to perfection. The flautas were really tasty, but I wish they wouldn't serve it over a bed of sauce. Doesn't make well for reheating if you want to take extra home... however the overall flavor was good. Presentation, picture perfect. I will definitely return! They also have a happy hour that lasts till 8. My guest, and I came on a Wednesday around 7. I highly recommend to come around that time, unless you want a crowd. Unsure why the ratings are so low. Give this place a try!

We spent a weekend in Atlanta and were in the mood for some reggaeton, so we walked over from a…read morenearby lunch spot to check this place out. We had already eaten so we were just looking for tasty drinks and a fun vibe. We didn't have reservations, which seemed to be an issue when we first arrived. I completely understand that it was Mother's Day, but it was already after 2:00pm and the restaurant wasn't busy at all. We were repeatedly told that it would get busier later for brunch service. Once seated, we quickly ordered drinks. The music was good, but there wasn't much reggaeton playing at first. After a quick chat with the DJ, the vibe completely changed. We were treated to a fun set featuring Daddy Yankee, Bad Bunny, Ivy Queen, and several other great mixes. That definitely elevated the experience and made for a really enjoyable afternoon. The main downside was the service, which felt a bit unfriendly. I noticed other tables receiving pitchers of water, so I asked for some as well. Instead, we were brought a bottle of Fiji. When we asked for the pitcher instead, we were told it was only available for guests ordering brunch. Since we had each ordered multiple drinks, the policy felt a little odd. Adding to the confusion, the restaurant never really filled up despite the warnings about how busy it would become. Overall, we had a good time thanks to the music, drinks, and atmosphere. The DJ was fantastic, but the service left us with a somewhat mixed impression.

I've visited this establishment twice, and unfortunately, both experiences left me disappointed…read more The biggest issue is the pricing. I ordered two Sidecars and was surprised to find that additional charges were added for ingredients such as Grand Marnier, bringing the cost to roughly $25+ per drink before gratuity. On top of that, an automatic gratuity was added. At no point was it clearly explained that there would be significant upcharges beyond the listed cocktail price. I travel frequently and have visited cocktail bars and lounges throughout New York City, including some very high-end establishments in Manhattan. In my opinion, the pricing here is not aligned with the overall experience being delivered. The atmosphere is decent, and I can see the upscale image they're trying to create, but the service falls short. The staff were not particularly warm, welcoming, or knowledgeable about the drinks. The interactions felt transactional rather than hospitable, and there wasn't the level of service I would expect given the prices being charged. There are too many great restaurants, lounges, and cocktail bars in the area to spend this kind of money for an experience that feels average. Based on my experiences, I would not return and would recommend exploring other options before choosing this place.

I gave them $20 and had to request my change. No one seemed to have any change‍. We then had to carefully walk up the set of stairs with red carpet. We went inside it was a tight space but I think there were rooms in various places. We were a walk-in, but I got on their waitlist thru Yelp, but the host didn't find it. My main question here would be, if we weren't able to get a table, would we have gotten our money back from valet. We were told we had 2 hours max and were seated at the smallest table in the main dining area. I wouldn't say it was super busy, but it did take a while before our server to our order. The host took our drink orders until our server was available. Be warned, they do put an automatic 20% gratuity on your bill... so the service could really suck, but they're still getting a tip. I have an issue with that. Now on to the food and drinks. I guess they're known for their drinks and presentation. I had the *skymiles, which had limited availability. It was supposed to be a lemon drop with my choice of prickly pear, strawberry, or melon. I chose strawberry... the drink came in bird glass, and they gave it to me in the bird cage with dry ice presentation. If I'm being honest, that doesn't impress me. Please make my drink pretty and delicious. The drink was warm, which is a huge turn-off! For an entree, I had the "hire an assistant," which was blackened chicken pasta. It came with garlic bread, which turned out a damn hotdog bun! They cut the bun in half and have me half of the top bun and all of the bottom. The pasta was cold, and the chicken was the thinnest chicken I've ever had. They flattened the chicken breast and then cut it into tiny strips. They had a DJ who played some good music, but the sound system was a speaker, so it was hard to have a conversation. Overall, I'm not sure if I would go back here.
