Anywhere I can get an aperol spritz for 8.50 is a place I would recommend. Happy hour until 8 and half price on the cocktails even in the outdoor patio area. We were served quickly and dog friendly. I will be returning! We didn't try the food this time, but the pizza looked fire. read more

Stopped by here for happy hour a couple of times, and each experience was great. First off, shoutout to the bartender. I didn't get his name, but he is always welcoming and on point with the cocktails. The happy hour goes until 8 PM, which is unheard of! Love that. I recommend the patatas bravas and calamari if you want some light bites along with your food. Parking is very easy as the Cardiff Garage is right across the street. read more

I just found my new favorite neighborhood haunt! My friends and I finally made our way to The Lounge, which is located at the back of Ugo restaurant. This cozy yet chic spot what's the perfect place for us to make a pit stop after our dinner down the road. Once we got there we were definitely excited to see that they have a late night happy hour which we definitely be taking advantage of at a future date. But the main reason we came by is that one of our friends is a big fan of espresso martinis and on yelp, this place came up with number one as an option for us to check out and it did not disappoint! 10/10 for their espresso martinis (made by their incredible bartender Moses). We ordered 2 rounds! Our server Emma was also fantastic...she was attentive and friendly. Also we ordered some late night desserts which I already knew about they wer known for, but we went for some of their tiramisu and gelato... Which definitely was a great way to end the night. read more

There weren't many people when we came in. We could sit anywhere. W operated indoor setting at a corner booth. It can sit 6. They did ask us if the bar started getting full would we mind sharing the space. Of course we said no we didn't. My Martini was ok, I tasted more lychee than strawberry. It was a bit tart. The old fashioned was good. The Ricotta crostini was good, the only thing with this dish is that the bread was still soft and not fully toasted. The flavor was there, a bit sweet, but the green apples balances the flavors. The pistachios were a nice touch. The shrimp scampi was good. Only 4 shrimp with the serving though. It was buttery with a barely there kick. It would have been nice to have a small side of bread to accompany it. The service was good. I did see the whole team help each other, including the mixologists. read more

very friendly professional staff good music know how to make a great martini! perfect read more

Servers aren't attentive. Sat for 40 mins to even order food. Kept saying "I'll come right back"

I rented out The Lounge for my husband's 50th birthday party this last weekend, and could not be more thrilled with how things went! The event manager and I had a very productive back-and-forth via email to make sure all the little details were just right - what kinds of food, the drink package, the music, and then they executed perfectly! Our bartenders Gunnar and Moses kept everyone's drinks full all night long, and treated us like royalty. Everyone loved the space, drinks and food - smiles all around all night long. Thank you to the whole staff for making this such an incredible event for us! Would recommend anyone who needs an event space for 40-45 people, this place is amazing! read more

Great hidden spot at the back of Ugo in downtown Culver. There are lots of spots to choose from in Culver. Loved that this place was quiet and a little hidden so it wasn't packed, still had enough people that it didn't feel empty though. Drinks were good, but wish there had been a few more options of cocktails. Server was friendly. Didn't get a chance to try any of the food, just a late night stop for a drink. read more

This is such a cute lounge! I really like the decor, vibe, ambiance, music. Waiters were incredibly kind. Cocktails half off during happy hour and really tasty cucumber ginger - a personal favorite. Happily surprised by this cocktail bar. Ps they're in the back of Ugo which honestly isn't my favorite but I've been to Italy many times so expect better Italian. But the cocktail lounge is definitely worth a try! read more

Absolutely my favorite bar in Downtown Culver, and the happy hour is amazing! Love the Lounge! :) read more

I went for happy hour on a Saturday. The service was great the bartender was knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations. Great music and atmosphere. read more

Stopped by for a drink... or a few. Greeted by the host who suggested we quickly make our way back to The Lounge and catch the last few minutes of happy hour, and so we did! Weeknight, not too busy, took a booth and the bartender quickly came out from behind the bar to take our order. Friendly and attentive, we asked that he surprise us, to which he responded: I got you . Nice, cozy, trendy vibes. Drinks were great! Next time, we're coming back to dine at the adjacent restaurant Ugo. read more

AMBIENCE: (4/5) - The inside bar is pretty. I personally love the layout of square bars since I feel that no matter which direction you're able to see the bartenders do their thing. There were some lounge chairs located on the sides of the bar too for a more intimate setting for those with slightly larger groups - Overall crowd seems to be young working-age adults, not too old to make you feel the place might not be as hip as you'd hope but not too young to make you feel like you're suddenly the old grandma in the group of kiddos trying to drink their way through college - Music was chill lounge vibes that you can bob your head to while relaxing on the sofas which changed into more "lets go out OUT" tonight clubbing beats as it got later - We sat on the outside by the fire place which was my favorite part of the whole lounge. They had yellow lights overhanging the tops of tall plants that reach the sky. The sofas there were extra comfy and they had 2 fire places with a heater to keep us warm on this cold front we're having SERVICE: (4/5) - Greeted immediately with a smile and was told we could sit anywhere we'd like - Took awhile for any one to come to us with a menu. Not sure if we were supposed to go up to the bar ourselves to ask for one or if it's more table service FOOD/DRINKS: (4/5) - 20th Century (4/5) = okay on the strength of the liquor in there, not too strong that it made me make a face being slapped by the alc but not too weak that I had to question if there was any there at all. It was refreshing & citrusy, everything that I'd expect from a gin based cocktail. Only thing that didn't fully earn the 5/5 is that the flavors weren't anything extremely renovating or original that I haven't tried any where else OVERVIEW: (4/5) - Would come here again. Good vibes and very pretty to sit outside with the fireplace - Drinks could be just the tinsy bit stronger imo but nothing that made me feel like I had to bring up to the bartender - 50% off all cocktails until March! I feel like it was worth it for a drink at the original price, let alone now! - No whiskey based cocktails on the menu right now which both my friend and I thought was odd since cocktail menus usually hit each liquor once to please anyone that might walk through the door. My friend likes whiskey the most and didn't drink much other liquor but they were more than happy to accommodate her with any whiskey cocktail she'd like. Hopefully once they've had time after their grand opening to tweak the menu a bit and cover all their bases read more

The security guard harassed and threatened me for no reason Never felt so unsafe He justified his behavior based on cultural differences but it's ultimately racism . It was personal and unprofessional He made it clear that he's from east LA Paid the bill and drinks are a grip Never felt so disrespected and shamed ever. read more

Happy hour everyday, 5 to 8pm, even on a Sunday. How can you not like that. Located in downtown Culver City. There's parking somewhere. The ambiance was nice. Music playing but not loud so you can still enjoy a conversation. There's outdoor seating, which is great on a hot night. Happy Hour is only 50% off some cocktail drinks, which is good because normally it would run you about $18 a drink to start. We didn't order any food so cannot comment on that. The bartender was cool but only ordered from him. I didn't have a whole conversation with him. We got there right when happy hour started so there was only one group of girls sitting outside and inside was empty. It was perfect to lounge and talk. read more

Happy is great during the week. I just went on Labor Day with a friend of mine for the happy hour. I wanted a place to sit outside low-key comfortable and I can just catch up with my friend, and this was the perfect place. The reviews helped. Nicolas our waiter was so great and attentive and made sure my dietary needs were met. The drinks lychee martini + happy hour food menu had great items. I got the Figo pizza, portobello fries, calamari and shrimp scampi all delicious . Will definitely go again and finished it off with a bottle of presecco read more
