My girlfriend and I decided to switch up our weekend routine and wanted to add day drinking to our Saturday schedule. She has been wanting to try VB Lounge for some time now and we decided to pop in.
Our first impression was "wow" the inside of this place is beautiful and very well done. The establishment appeared to be clean and we were excited to be there.
We took a seat at the bar and looked over the tent menu that was there. The place wasn't busy at all. We were 1 of the 5 couples at the bar. We waited around 7 minutes before anyone even greeted us which was unacceptable. It was to the point where I told my girlfriend that if the basketball game on TV ended before we were greeted we would get up and leave.
The long brown hair bartender was not on her game. She was prepping the bar while talking to two gentleman the whole time. She made her rounds to others at the bar and completely missed us which is hard to do with only TEN people at a bar. Finally a nice guy greeted us and we ordered our drinks. I observed a older couple walk in and have a seat at the bar. She watched them have a seat and continued her conversation until a young lady who look liked her shift just started went over to greet them. It wasn't until the two gentlemen left before she began to actually provide service to the rest of the bar. I found this unacceptable as did the couple next to us who I overheard discussing the same thing.
My girlfriend got the 5 floor something which she loved. I got the old fashioned made with tequila that was on the menu which was ok at best. The highlight of our experience was their curly fry stack. We are both big fans of fries (who isn't?) and were impressed.
Overall this place has great potential.... The inside is beautiful, clean and very well decorated. The ambiance is just right. The only thing I would suggest they improve on is their music, the selection and volume wasn't bad but it did cut off and stay off for a while before someone turned it back on. The service is sub par. As good as those fries were I will not be returning. However I do encourage anyone who's on the fence about this place to go and at least try it.
I hope your experience is better than mine.
