I came out in December for their Miracle pop-up in 2025…read more As someone who has gone to a ton of holiday cocktail bars and pop-ups over the last 10 years, Overlook Lodge's is probably the best I've ever been to. Be aware it will be FAST. Look at the order ahead of time if you're a picky eater/drinker. They run your appointment like clockwork, and you'll be in-and-out, gulping down cocktails, through the entire experience. Your two drinks are included (this year, anyway), and I'd honestly be surprised if you managed to have time for a third. Time zips by fast. That being said, because they do it this way, you essentially have constant service, there's "events" that happen at the end of your reservation time, (I don't want to spoil it, but cover your drink!), and then they kick you out. Service was friendly, though, and I saw the server make time to take group photos for all of the tables (including ours) with someone at the table's camera. (No bullshit "group photo" upsells here) It's kinda loud, though, and I wouldn't recommend this as a chill meet-up-and-socialize spot. (If you wanna talk, they have an addendum, Christmas-themed laid-back bar next door.) It's more of a "get blasted in the face by Christmas for an hour and then leave" experience. It's pretty loud, and talking can be a bit difficult over the music and constant interruptions (more drinks? Photos? Cute Christmas video montage?) But this works in its favor as it feels the most Christmas, over-the-top, and seasonal out of all the holiday bars I've ever been to. It also keeps it from feeling too crowded as reservations are required, so you for-sure have a seat and you don't have to stand forever in line to wait for drinks. I'd probably guesstimate that bar staff is making all of their seasonal drinks, constantly, and servers just pick one up to deliver. With the capacity in here, it would make sense. No idea what the bar is like the rest of the year; this is just a review for the Miracle pop-up which, again, is probably the best I've been to in the Midwest. Cincinnati, you're spoiled down here. (Sidenote, I was absolutely taken aback by their TV presentation on the wall. It's hard to describe, but it isn't just a projector showing a giant rectangle. It's specifically slotted into the holes in-between holiday decorations. Staff told me that had to hire special technicians to get it to show up that way and that's seriously a level of detail I am so amazed by.)

I got the Golden House n/a which was refreshing and delicious. Only myself and another couple were the only ones on a weekday afternoon, so the service was quick. There's rollup windows for indoor/outdoor seating, no dogs allowed inside, chips for sale if you need a snack, and a large digital painting that coverts into 4 tv screens for game day. Would return.

We stopped by recently for some takeout and were helped quickly at the bar. Our food came out in less than 10 minutes and the bartender was helpful and friendly while we waited. The patio was packed with people enjoying the nice weather! The parking lot in back is also a perk. We split the smash bros chickpea wrap, which was above average for a wrap but didn't make a huge impression. The menu said roasted tomatoes but the tomatoes to me seemed like just sliced Roma tomatoes. It held up and was great to go! I will note it does not come with a side and thus feels pretty expensive for the amount of food it is. The real hit was the pretzel nuggets. These have been on the menu for a while and stand the test of time. The garlic caramel is standout and the beer cheese is also delicious. We both commented we wanted to eat the extra sauce on its own at the end because it was so delicious. Tela is great to dine in or to go. With pickleball and great walking routes nearby, it's a great option to make a night of it in Wyoming! Highly recommend.

The staff are friendly and the owner is always working hard wiping tables and greeting guests. I love that the menu rotates seasonally, so there is always something new to try! Most recently, I got the Super Smash Bros wrap (chickpea salad). It's so good and healthy. I paired it with an order of the fresh cut fries. SO good. If you get fries, make sure to order the stone ground mustard aioli too. Perfect pair. Street parking is always super easy! Love eating on the covered patio.

All he had to do was ask him no problem. But he had to act like a 4 year old that didn't get his way. I sure hope he has better day tomorrow. But he will not be getting any patronage from us. We walked out. Which was such a shame for all involved. Wow I am still so very shocked. Never seen anything like that before ever.

We visited on a rainy Friday night, when we got there it wasn't too busy, but by the time we left it was almost full. It's a pretty small space. The drinks are fairly priced, $10 for the spicest margarita I've ever had. The bartender was busy, and working alone she managed to keep everyone happy. The decor is pretty cool, including the bullet holes on the bar top. Annie Oakley herself was a badass and there's lots of memorabilia here to see. We'll be back!

The seating is nicely thought out and arranged for whatever kind of party you may be bringing. The little back area would be awesome for a small gathering! Unsure if it was because of the staffing on the night we visited, or it is always this way, but despite being tables all over, there was no table service. All drinks had to be ordered at the bar and carried to the tables - there was no indication of this. Our initial wait at the bar was unmet, so we went and sat at a table assuming we'd be helped there instead, then after some time of nothing, one of us returned to the bar and waited again for service... so it was a pretty clunky start.

I love all the different and cool concepts for drinks they have and they also seem to have a special every night for different spirits which is so fun. I'm sure you'll find a drink you'll like too, and I also love when places have mocktails too! The only thing that is kind of annoying is that they don't have a food selection so you'll have to eat before you come. I do see some people bring in food from element eatery so I think that is allowed. My friend raves about the espresso martini and one of my favorites is the role model (add gin if you want a cocktail)! I do like how they have some seasonal drinks or fun drinks for the holidays/time of year!

They don't give anything out like numbers but a device that looks like you would get when you are on a wait list and the lights would go off.

Everything was good and surprisingly barramuñdi filet was delicious. Never had it before. The first with the aioli was good and the wife enjoyed the pizza.
