We had such an amazing time! 🥳🌈 We came with a big group during Pride weekend on a Saturday, and the energy was absolutely perfect. The vibes were immaculate from the moment we walked in — fun, welcoming, and just the right balance of lively and laid-back. ✨💃 The drinks were really good 🍹🔥 and Em, our bartender, took incredible care of us all night. Attentive, friendly, and fast — exactly what you need when you’re out celebrating with friends. 🙌 What I really loved was that the space felt smaller and more intimate, especially during such a busy weekend. It gave us the chance to actually chill, dance, talk, and genuinely enjoy each other’s company without feeling overwhelmed. 🕺💬💖 The aesthetic was everything! From the fuzzy oversized booths to the swan-shaped faucet in the bathroom, every detail was so cute and thoughtfully designed. 🦢✨ It’s super queer-friendly, fun, and just an all-around safe, joyful space. Easily a 10/10 experience — can’t wait to go back! 🌟
On the night i went one bartender was extremely pleasant. The other bartender, I didn't get her name, was extremely rude. Was using the bathroom and she proceeded to bang on the door and shine the flashlight on me while i was privately using the bathroom. When i exited I expressed that i was only using the bathroom, she rudely said "we have a line", i told her i was only in there for 3 minutes and then she threatened to have me "kicked out of her bar" Moments later a security guard approaches me and tells me to leave because i "put my hand in her face". Not only am i disappointed by the blatant disrespect in a space i was only trying to have fun in, i'm disappointed of the lie told about me just to have me "kicked out of her bar". Customers should 1. have privacy in the bathroom, any other way is an invasion. 2. I'm disappointed in the lie of aggression on my end for expecting privacy. It is unfortunate because i spend almost every weekend at this lounge, but i will not be returning after such a deplorable interaction.
We had a blast! We went with a big group over Pride weekend on a Saturday. The vibes were immaculate, drinks were good, and Em, our bartender, took great care of us. It was awesome to have a place that was smaller and intimate over Pride weekend to actually be able to chill, dance, talk, and have fun together. I loved the aesthetic; from the fuzzy oversized booths, to the swan faucet in the bathroom. Super queer friendly and fun! 10/10
Vibe looked great, but was dead at 10pm and they wanted a $30 cover. Said it was a private party. Lost out on easy $200 in drinks but another club will take my money 🫡
Came for their first holiday jazz night of the season. The talent was great. They only had one person working the bar with no barback or bussers. Poor lady, she did her best managing everything though, I hope BonTon is giving her extra on top of whatever they are giving her, she deserves. Their liquor selection is quite limited for a bar. Not sure if that is typical or if it was the aftermath or a busy weekend. However, most of their holiday themed drinks were available. You can order Bonton food up in the Waiting Room. We didn’t, but a few people did. The check includes an entertainment fee and gratuity. I appreciated that the entertainment fee was included for the band vs requiring them to have a tip bucket. Musicians deserve pay for their talent. 😊 FYI, you enter the bar from the inside, not the stairs outside.
I first came here during pride weekend and it was a blast! The themed drinks were delicious and the energy was fun and lively. I’ve come back a couple times for Jazz night on Tuesdays, which has such a cool and laid back vibe. The drinks are always on point and the bands are fantastic. The atmosphere is so cozy, stylish and photogenic. Highly recommend!
This is the upstairs bar at Bon Ton. Seems to be owned/managed by the same people, but separate menu. The stairs to get up to it are right inside the door for Bon Ton. There is a small parking lot. 5/5 for the atmosphere and the live music on Mardi Gras 2025. The musicians were super talented and it was such a fun, intimate atmosphere for a jazz band. I live for all the red decor and lighting. No food served while I was there (apparently they stop serving upstairs at 9:30). Drinks were good (specialty cocktails, beer, wine, seltzers, and at least one non-alcoholic beer). Service was okay. Maybe an hour before close the bartender left, would’ve been nice if they’d announced last call or something.
