Still a fairly new addition to Cleveland's burgeoning E 4th Street, Society Lounge has likely cemented it's place for the next few years to come.
Sitting on the cusp of a Velvet Tango Room atmosphere, Society Lounge sets itself distinctly apart from every other establishment on the street.
There is always a well dressed, friendly gentleman guarding the door. From there, you descend into the pit. The lounge is dark, drowning you in a dusky speakeasy atmosphere. Jewels and glitter drip off the generally well dressed clientele.
JOE is one of the best of the bartenders, though all are great. On a busy night, expect to wait for drinks. They are all handcrafted and take some time, but are certainly worth it.
There typically is some form of live music at night, which can be a bit hit or miss. Come here with an hour or two before you head to dinner, or to chill out and cool down after stuffing yourself somewhere like greenhouse.
Worth. It.
