Excellent find ! Marissa and Paris were the best team for us to walk in on. We are locals of Osprey, and haven’t been up this way in a while. Well that’s now changed! Outstanding cocktails, and a massive variety that would impress any craft cocktail enthusiast. Marissa and Paris both offered help when building our own old fashions re the alcohol and bitters/ syrup parings. We both enjoyed two lovely and different masterpieces! I stuck with two bourbon based old fashions, while my husband started with a gin, rose peppercorn house made syrup, and grapefruit bitters… full stop.
The menu is unique and everything is made in house, quite literally.
We can’t wait to go back !

Literal vibes!!! Few weeks ago I went on a double date with my boyfriend, sister and her boyfriend we came across this place after our dinner right close by and Kristen did not disappoint with her skills! She’s amazing, great personality and the drinks she whips up are to die for! Took my best friend out as well on a Monday and came across Kristen behind the bars and she was just great! Vibes are so nice and calming in my opinion I would recommend taking your friends, family or even lovers on by cause the drinks and service are to die for everybody who works there 10/10 amazing folks!

The Lounge is such a cool addition to Waterside. Loved the classy yet chill vibe. I had the Beet the Heat cocktail, and it was so refreshing. The spicy salt rim added a surprise that balanced it. Really enjoyed talking to the bartenders, Paris & Kristen. Knowledgeable about the in-house made liquors and offered drink suggestions. It was my first time there and I’ll be sure to come back. Adding photos of the drink menu which also includes some great mocktails.

I love that this bar has no TVs! The bartenders make the most delicious drinks and are always attentive. The lounge atmosphere is great for encouraging actual conversations instead of people being on their phones. It’s also fun watching the drinks be made when you sit at the bar instead of one of the couches or chairs. It’s also a favorite of mine because there are no children there. Great place to go grad a drink after the workday or on weekends. Highly recommend.

The lounge easily plays the best music in town. It’s not your typical overplayed radio stuff, it’s been unique every time. They have live DJs on the weekends so it’s much more engaging than your typical cocktail spot. They even have good N/A options when I’ve stopped in on a weeknight.
The leather couches are one of my favorite spots to hang out as well. Very comfortable and space for all my friends and then some. Definitely a staple spot for me when I want to go out.

This place is a hidden gem!! We stumbled on this place and wanted to try it out. We sat at the bar and Lexi made me an amazing drink! She was very friendly and gave us the history on the Good Liquid Distillery. Everyone should definitely go and try it out!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Thanks Lexi! I will be a “Regular”. lol

We visited The Lounge Cocktail on Sunday afternoon. The place itself looks beautiful inside, but the experience was extremely disappointing. We ordered two Moscow Mules and were shocked to be served in plain water glasses, full of ice, no garnish, and no copper mug. When I asked, the young bartender—who was very careless—told me they don’t use proper mugs anymore because “people steal them” and that they had no garnishes at all. For a cocktail lounge that claims handcrafted drinks, that excuse was unacceptable.
What made it worse was the service. The bartender was inattentive, and another woman who looked like a manager completely ignored us when I tried to speak with her—she preferred to stand at the bar chatting with a friend instead of addressing our concerns. For nearly $40, we received plain, poorly presented drinks and unprofessional, dismissive service.
We left disappointed and went across the street to an Italian bar, where the cocktails and hospitality were everything this place failed to deliver. Beautiful interior, but the drinks and staff ruined the experience. Not worth the money.

The best espresso Martini ever! Great place to grab a drink and hang out. DJ on Saturday is always a vibe! Love that they’re open late and serve great drinks and music. Bartenders are caring and knowledgeable about the cocktails.
