Nostalgia Lounge & Bar

Love the layout of this bar but the drinks leave much to be desired. I tried 3 different drinks and none were up to par. Would be better if they used glasses instead of plastic cups. The performance was good but the stage is too dark and the spotlight is too small, so the artists were performing under dim light for much of the time. But overall, this is a good bar for Hattiesburg. I was in town to visit so I’m a bit pickier since I’m used to Atlanta. EJ & Elsie did a great job!

The Best Lounge and Bar in Hattiesburg hands down with Great VIBES!! Some of the Best DRINKS and Bartenders around and the service is always A1. Not to mention the Absolute Best HOOKAHS in the South, I Love to chill Outside on the back Patio and Smoke Hookah it's a Whole Vibe especially during Football season on Sundays the Game is Played on a Huge Projector screen out back! If You haven't been there get there NOW......!!

Their social media is completely out of hand for a business, and does not seem very welcoming, and in fact very judgmental. Not sure if it’s supposed to be a joke but as a new Hattiesburg transplant, I would never go to a business making such posts

2025 Update: After having such a good time at Nostalgia the last time I was there (May 2024), I suggested it to a family member who wanted to celebrate his birthday (June 2025). That probably wasn't the best decision. I was disappointed to see they have not only changed locations, but the entire vibe was different. This is no longer a place for mature people (30-45)who like to dress well, hear good music, and have a good time. This is now a place for the younger (21-30) people who like bottle popping, music you can't hear over, and twerking/standing on furniture. If I was 15 years younger, this would likely be my weekend go-to. But not now. Unfortunately, my turn-up era has passed, and I'm in my good, safe, fun era. So I probably wouldn't return. Just wanted to provide an update for those who may have seen my previous review and thought the vibe was the same. Original review: I was invited to Nostalgia to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was easy to find (right off Main Street in Hattiesburg), but parking is scarce (through no fault of the establishment, as there are other businesses on the same strip). The bar downstairs is nice, neat, and clean, and there's ample sitting space. The VIP lounge upstairs is decent (it's the typical VIP: bar, lounge furniture, DJ, dance floor, and restrooms). There's also a really nice patio downstairs where you can enjoy hookah and a drink within earshot of the music. The vibe was great, and there was plenty of security patroling inside and out. No foolishness at all (which I was concerned about due to other reviews). The drinks were ok. This is not a bar where you're going to get mixologist crafted cocktails, but the bartenders do use a strong pour for the typical whiskey and coke or vodka and cranberry. All in all, the music was great (mix of old and new) and we had a good time!

The food is good 😊. I ordered the cocktails celebrating USM homecoming weekend.

We attended the West Love Concert! Everything was great!

This lounge has a great vibe. I always enjoy myself when I’m there. The drinks and food are absolutely amazing. The prices are affordable and reasonable. The hookahs are flavorful and you can smoke on the inside, upstairs where more sections are located & another bar, or you can sit on the patio area out back where the kitchen is also located. The staff & security team are amazing. If you’re in the Hattiesburg area, you should most definitely check them out.

I enjoy coming to this lounge!! Everyone is so nice, and the music is always a vibe. Drinks, foods, and hookahs are top tier!!! I never have a problem with any of the services when I come, so this is a really good spot to hang out downtown if you just want to find something fun to do.
