I'm not going to lie, I was highly disappointed by Society Lounge; primarily because everyone set very high expectations for this place. I came here on a Thursday night and there weren't many people there just a few business type groups.
I ordered the Death in New York which is described as "buffalo trace bourbon, lemon juice, turbinado simple syrup, house pomegranate grenadine, lucid absinthe, champagne floater." I assumed since bourbon and lemon were at the beginning of the drink description it would have some type of bourbon taste; Nope that was not the case. It tasted like straight up anise, which I am assuming is from the absinthe. I could barely drink a quarter of it because all it tasted like was black licorice with an after taste of metal. My boyfriend had the Brooklyn which was good but nothing to rave about. I also found it very bizarre that the server never asked how my drink was, considering I barely drank any of it.
To eat we really wanted the charcuterie or cheese plates but they were out of many things that go with the platter which I also found bizarre. We got their deviled eggs which also did not taste right. They tasted like eggs with just straight yellow mustard.
I really wanted to like this place because they were highly recommended but I was sorely disappointed.
