Spirit lounge is Lawrenceville's newest anything goes hipster venue. Redone from the former elks lounge it has two stories that offer entertainment and in house pizza back room called Slice Island and an outdoor patio.
Downstairs is kept very dark to give it a grungy vibe. The servers are overzealous charismatic person where you would just wish they would nose the lip ring but amazingly spirited fun people. Let them serve you up a mixed drink or serve a cheap can of beer to your preference and indulge in nightly activities from Sunday's Bingo Bango to Saturday night bands and dancing.
Now be sure to go get pizza. If hipsterism is not your style of dancing in a basement, be sure to at least come around to the back to get a slice of pie from Slice Island, you will not be disappointed. Ignoring the ongoing feud they are currently holding with another Bloomfield spot [not to be named], they serve light tagliare style [cut] on ciabatta bread with a focus on the toppings of veggies or meat. Dabbed spots of mozzarella covered my slice which was amazing, with fresh tomatoes and a sprinkle of mint. Fantastic.
The upstairs part of the lodge will be focused on events and of course more shows and nontraditional events that may not have space in the downstairs space, something to look forward to in the Fall. I hope to catch one of other hungry-hungry-human where you are on skateboard and utilize laundry baskets. [hellz yea]
Make sure to make this is a spot on your list when coming down Lawrenceville it definitely does not disappoint.
