This is a really nice place to drink at. The bar has the looks of a cave which is pretty cool, there are seats to sit at if available, and the music is good too. Bartenders are friendly and the menu has fun drinks to choose from. My only gripe is that the restrooms are a little small and compact. It's a small bar though so it gets a pass on that perspective. 5/5

Awesome place. The bartender both male and females were very nice and accommodating. The bouncer was also cool. I went at a odd time where it was quiet but it was a neat place. Typical prices for drinks, but they have some proprietary drinks which are good. They played good music from the last 20years.

A hidden speak-easy that poses as a pizzaria from above. You would never find it unless you were walking past and asked or saw the tiny sign at the door. The cavern-themed bar is awesome, and good for small groups. They have comfy lounge seating. Service was awesome and staff very friendly. I recommend bringing friends from out of town to this place. The only downside was that some drinks were not available, they have a limited bar list so you have to stick to the menu.

Visited 7/18-7/19 on a Tuesday night. Hip cozy underground bar with good music in a respectable neighborhood. Great bartender, Kevin, who was quick to make our drinks and extra attentive to our birthday celebrants. Very cool atmosphere with a very friendly staff. Highly recommended for a chill weekday or a high octane weekend. Open til 4am nightly, ideal for industry folk like ourselves. Thanks for the great time!

Six of us came here this past Wednesday, and we had a great time. We wanted to find somewhere new and exciting to go, which wasn't the easiest thing to do on a Wednesday night. Most places were closed, but luckily the Drop Lounge was open, and on top of that, there's no cover charge. :) When we arrived we had the place to ourselves! We got there pretty early so that wasn't surprising especially on a weekday, however as the night went on more and more people trickled in. The interior was by far one of the most aesthetically pleasing places I've been in awhile. It was like a cave with a stone ceiling and stone walls. It also had really nice lighting and comfortable seating. There was also a large space in the middle for dancing. On top of that it was very clean. Definitely one of the coolest bars I've been in. Bob did a great job of taking care of us, even though we weren't the easiest crowd. We were clearly having an off night, and at one point knocked over a beer, and then moments later another person in our group knocked a different beer onto the floor, shattering it. Definitely not our shining moment, however Bob cleaned it up quickly, while making sure no one touched the glass, then told us to be careful (which we deserved) and was back behind the bar in a minute or so. He managed all of this on top of training a new bartender. Unfortunately we didn't get her name, but she was also very nice and accommodating. At the end of the night we couldn't have been more happy with our decision to come to The Drop Lounge, we had a great time drinking and dancing. Thanks Bob, and sorry we made a bit of a mess! We will definitely be back someday, and hopefully we'll be on our game and won't spill anything next time around.

I had such a great time here on Friday that I came back Saturday evening as well. the crowd here is very friendly along with the bartenders. The drinks are very reasonably priced. Also certain Wednesday nights that you get to see real house as well played by Dj Sam and Dj John. Excellent late night spot. Will come again and again.

I came in here a couple nights ago with a friend of mine. She had lost a few personal items in one of their back spaces, to which they were able to find only one of the items. We were still looking for a second item that we were sure was still there, but not found in the initial look. We had gone back to look again ourselves and had no luck again. I called again the next day and talked to a very nice and helpful manager by the name of Cayla. She put me on hold and went back downstairs to look again herself and found the last item we were looking for within a few minutes. I had expressed my frustrations with a few things, so the owner, Arthur, reached out to me personally and offered to go in and look himself and even check cameras for us. Such a great way to treat your customers to help them retrieve personal items, hat some people may not care to help out with. Great underground lounge with good music and a cool vibe. Defiantly will be back.

It was a dingy little place. Drinks were ok but a bit over priced, dj was a on a music roll but would then change it to country so off! Made me feel like I was at a house party. But they did have this really good pizza joint that was combine with the bar so 5 stars for the pizza!!!
