Georgia's Lounge is a great local spot in Redondo Beach. Small and charming. Total chill vibes. We've been here twice and I love everything about it. The drinks are on point. They have good eats too. Our server Angus was very friendly.
My cocktails of choice were both excellent picks. Started with the Rip Curl: Lunazul Tequila, Chareau Aloe Liqueur, Cucumber, Habañero, Orange Bitters. Think cucumber margarita with a slight kick. It wasn't overpowering and it had all the flavor profiles I want in a good drink. My second drink was the Celery Sour: Pineapple-infused Ford's Gin, Celery, Kaffir Yogurt, Cucumber, Lemon. Smooth as heck and just a hint of celery. The ingredients looked interesting to me so I wanted to try it. Wasn't disappointed.
The popular cocktail for our crew was the Grandma Georgia: Larceny Bourbon, Laphroaig, Demerara Gum Syrup, Angostura. Like a perfect Old Fashioned cocktail. The crystal clear ice block was perfection.
We had a few small bites. Decided to order all three types of fries: Fennel Salt Fries + Harissa Aioli, Truffle Fries + Lemon Aioli, Sea Salt Fries + Ketchup. Gotta say at $7-8 per order of fries, we expected more. We basically got 3 baskets of fries with dipping sauce. Fries were good but not $7-8 good. We wanted legit fries tossed in truffle oil and sea salt or more flavor all in all. The fries didn't even have enough salt, quite bland for the price point. the dipping sauces were just meh. Couldn't smell the truffle or fennel. Also got the Caprese Grilled Cheese Sandwich: heirloom tomato, burrata, micro basil, garlic rubbed bread. The bread was perfectly crisp and soft with each bite. Lots of cheese and not enough tomatoes and basil, but still really tasty.
All in all, we love the chill vibes at Georgia's Lounge and will come back every time we're in town. Just love the whole ambiance, indoors or on the patio. If you can snag a seat on the patio, do it!!! The weather was chilly and the fire pit was and patio lighting was really nice!
