Decent selection of cocktails, some beers, wine and other drinks. Looks like they recently adjusted (or rather increased the prices of the cocktails) such that all cocktails have the same price (all became the most expensive price previously). I had the Mississippi Jones (it was alright) and Midnight Mischief (yum! Very much like Old Fashioned). All the games are free, but for bowling, you need to make a reservation. They have basketball, skeeball, foosball and shuffleboard. They are dog-friendly. Someone brought their dog and it was barking the whole time we were there.
The Gutter is a great spot to relax, throw a few gutter balls and beers. Cool vibe, reasonably priced drinks and awesome bartenders and cocktail waitresses. I enjoy the freeness of being able to choose what you want to do, where you want to sit etc. From foosball, basketball and pool and bowling, they have it all and in one spot. Be sure to check them out when you find yourself in this part of town. Thank me later.
Dean is a kickass bartender! So knowledgeable and kind and fun. Thanks for a perfect vesper Martini and sidecar; top notch stuff.
Great atmosphere. Beautiful place! The drinks were superb. The bartender Lexis was super friendly and knowledgeable.
Hands down amazing food. The crab and caviar doughnuts were amazing. AMIR MAKES THE BEST BALANCED DRINKS
Love the vibe. The best service and humans you will ever meet! Find the blonde bartender who lifts!
The service was fast and excellent. The bar is amazing
Brandon for president!
Amazing atmosphere and lots of fun.
This bar is stunning! Walking in, you feel like you're being transported to another era. The decor is an elegant hipster nod to style throughout the ages - a little roaring 20's speakeasy meets art deco chic. It feels like no expense was spared, very typical of Consortium Holdings. Think Disney level detail but for adults. Did I mention it houses the most glamorous bowling lanes I've ever seen? Absolutely recommend visiting this place. We got there at 7pm on a Saturday and there were plenty of places to sit and the bar wasn't crowded yet. Around 9 it starts getting a little wild - crowded and very loud. My ears were ringing the next day, almost as if I'd been to a show at the Casbah - if you know, you know. I also wish they had better non-alcoholic options - mocktails are having a moment, guys! A true hipster bar would throw a couple creative non-boozy options on the menu. Luckily I was able to get crafty with some of their syrups and soda water. Overall, this place is pretty spectacular.
Drinks are almost $20 each and come in a skinny glass full of ice. Basically 2oz of liquid. Better off just getting a shot.
Everything was amazing. But the clientele felt not up to pare (ratchet). Maybe it’s the area.
Reservations required.
Great drinks and space! Tons of seating and serves as the “casual” bar of the Lafayette Hotel. Drinks were good, not great.
This establishment is a hidden gem within the vicinity, offering an intimate and exclusive atmosphere. The ambiance is conducive to both socializing and engaging in recreational activities, making it an ideal venue for gatherings of friends and colleagues. The establishment provides a diverse selection of beverages and an array of games, catering to a variety of preferences and ensuring an enjoyable experience for all attendees.
One major thing I disliked was their drinks are filled with ice; literally. I asked for "no ice" on my second round, yet they substituted for an ice cube that filled the entire glass. They save lot of money on skimping the drinks. Overall good vibes, and plenty of entertaining things to do.
Great facilities but the barman who had a moustache repeatedly told us that he wasn't serving. Despite tipping 5$ whilst getting 2 cans of beer, he continued to serve other patrons and left us waiting for 10 minutes to get served by another bar staff. I'd recommend this venue for the games on offer but the service left much to be desired. Won't be back here due to the reception we received
I brought my girlfriend to an interesting local place in the evening, and when we walked in, the atmosphere was great. People were having fun, playing billiards, and bowling, but there was an issue when I tried to order an alcoholic drink. I'm 28 years old and I come from an European country. I wanted to order an espresso martini. After checking my ID, the waitress also asked for my passport. I explained to her that I didn't have it with me because I usually keep it in the hotel room for safety reasons. I showed her my driver's license as well, hoping it would suffice. However, the waitress replied that she didn't trust that document and refused to serve me alcoholic beverages. Despite my attempts to explain, she didn't want to talk to me anymore. This was the first unpleasant experience I've had in one month of staying in America, as usually, my ID card was accepted as proof of legal drinking age elsewhere. I hope this doesn't reflect a general attitude towards Europeans. The waitress was very rude and insulting, she threatend me to leave the bar immediately.
We booked a lane for my birthday and weren’t allowed in until 18 minutes past booking. The guy said, “Don’t worry, you’ll get your full hour.” A different guy showed up 40 minutes later and kicked us out for the next group. At $50 an hour, you’d expect better. There’s also no drink service, so you have to leave to visit the bar. Very disappointing.
The hotel is fabulous and the bar is decked out so well with the offerings in terms of drinks and entertainment. Unfortunately, the service level leaves a lot to be desired. One barman took a dislike to my friend and told him he wasn’t serving on multiple occasions whilst his female colleague happily served, albeit a wait was necessary as she was wielding the bulk of the workload. Her second male colleague fully refused any serving for anyone but happily went around to each table at 1:45am telling customers they had 2 minutes to finish and leave. In any case, this bar is unique and fabulous in its offering but the service is so disappointing. Unfortunately I will not be returning but hope the service level improves soon for any future customers.
I went to Lafayette to celebrate my birthday with my wife, sister in law, and cousin. I was having a good experience until one of the waiters picked up a glass before I was done with it (at least a third of the 20 dollar drink was still there). I let it go but then he came back and took a second drink from my sister in law claiming my cousin was drinking and he had not shown proper ID. Let me clarify that my cousin had already bought three drinks without issue and is 25 yrs old. I confronted him about the issue and he said he would replace the drink. I was satisfied with this response but when I went to ask for the replacement drink (only one of the two he took away) he siad he would not do it. He then implied I was drunk (I had only two drinks in over three hours), falsely accused me of cussing him out when I used plain English to explain my frustration, and then threw me out. Their policies are inconsistent and arbitrarily imposed, and their conflict resolution immature. I would not be posting this complaint if they had been consistent in their ID checks and kept their word. Instead it was one of the worst customer service experiences I have had. It's a pity because I previously highly recommended this placed.
Place looks cool but the service is abysmal. Do not waste your time. Bartenders slow rude and the place couldn’t be any more understaffed. It’s a complete joke. Avoid at all costs.
Horrible customer service, will not be returning.
If your goal is to practice patience, invisibility, and emotional resilience, this is the place for you. The bar wasn’t even busy, yet somehow I managed to stand directly in front of the bar for an impressive amount of time without being acknowledged. It was like an interactive art installation called “You Exist, But Not Here.” The bartender appeared to be operating on a highly selective draft system—randomly choosing people from the crowd while ignoring those who had clearly been waiting longer. No rhyme, no reason, just vibes. I eventually learned that eye contact, proximity, and basic human presence do not guarantee service. It’s more of a spiritual lottery. Drinks might be great—I’ll never know. But if you enjoy being overlooked while watching others casually stroll up and get served, you’ve found your spot.
Beautiful aesthetic, but the customer service was absolutely terrible. The woman working last night with the septum piercing was disgustingly rude and unprofessional. Our table was clearly wet, so I politely asked if she could wipe it down. She had a rag hanging from her pants, yet instead of doing her job, she made a nasty face and shoved the rag toward me, practically putting it in my face and expecting me, the customer, to clean the table. I have never experienced such disrespect. Completely unacceptable behavior and a huge disappointment. If you’re gonna have a bitter attitude please stay away from customer service jobs.
Would give 0 stars if possible. Flew in from out of state with a few friends; Bartender who looked no older than 21 herself, Took 10 minutes, 3 managers, and an id scanner to investigate my real id, only to deny me. Joke of an establishment and I’ve never seen management handle something so poorly. Truly unforgettable! Don’t forget to bring not only your id but a SECOND form, just to get a cocktail. You’d think an id that works in the airport should work at a hotel bar but they “didn’t feel comfortable serving me,” even though I am not only 21 but a bartender myself in my home state.
Great atmosphere but the worst service I’ve ever had in my life. If you don’t know the bartender good luck getting a drink.
I understand this place gets busy, but that does not justify rude behavior towards polite customers. The customer service was unacceptable. I won’t be returning to spend my money here.
