My boyfriend is a huge fan of live music and cigars and I love Brazilian guitar. He had never been before and there was a Brazilian guitarist playing so I thought it was the perfect time to treat him to a night out. I love the vibe here! You feel like you take a step back in time when you enter this modern day speakeasy. It is dimly light with candles lit everywhere. I especially love the candles around the piano. While it is on the smaller side there is plenty of seating available and every time I've gone the service has been good.
There are limited food options so I would eat prior to arriving or as a stop prior to your meal. The drink list is extensive and a bit pricey but you definitely get what you pay for because the drinks are top notch. I'm not a fan of fruity drinks but also don't want to feel like I'm downing rubbing alcohol either so my server suggested the Vieux Carre which she stated was well-balanced and she was right. The drink is a combination of Rye Whisky, Hennessy and bitters. While it was boozy the bitters definitely balanced it out and took the edge off. My boyfriend had the Old Fashioned with Maker's Mark and enjoyed those as well.
My boyfriend likes to have a cigar every now and then which is another reason why I chose Society Lounge for date night. I'm not too well-versed in the cigar world but he said that their selection was fairly good. I don't remember what cigar he went with though. The only downfall is that you can't smoke inside so in order to enjoy your cigar you have to go outside. They don't really have a patio area either so you just kind of have to stand around and smoke. Plus you miss out on the music and I'm not sure if you can take your drinks out there with you.
I highly recommend this as a nice spot for date night but if you're on a budget like me only expect to have a drink or two. We're planning to go back soon to hear a jazz or blues band.
