Lambda Lounge

T’was a bit dead on a Sunday night, but I enjoyed my time here. I come for the great music and hookah, they never disappoint. The drinks are always great with friendly bartenders, this night was no exception. A bit pricey but excellent quality and strength. Two doubles and I was good for the night. Usually it’s a guy making the hookah on the weekend and he does an excellent job. This visit it was a younger female and the hookah was weak with not a lot of drag (though the flavor was pleasant). I asked for blueberry mint and she brought me the hookah saying that she added a bit of peach as well (but peach was all I tasted). Probably wouldn’t order hookah again if she’s the one making them, but everything else was great.

Music is great!!! Well drinks are nice and strong but way too overpriced- $17-20$ with tip for a Jameson Ginger Ale. Also Big Bertha that guards the bathrooms- y’all need to pay her more because she asked me to buy her a strawberry Hennessy and she’ll Apply Pay me. Than she told me she couldn’t afford to pay me the $20 and her phone died. So on top of that she can’t afford to buy herself a phone charger. How embarrassing for your establishment. Also one of the bathrooms- the light was out. How y’all can’t afford to buy a light bulb to fix the bathroom but yall can charge $20 for a well drink. Make it make sense please. You’re welcome for this review.

Super proud of this top notch Black owned business. Drinks were great. Atmosphere was amazing and the service was top notch. Please support this business.

Lambda was a good time. Good atmosphere, good vibes, very chill, nice seating with smooth content and video games too. Strong drinks. Welcoming crowd. Just what you want to relax

Went on a Friday night and had a blast. Pleasant crowd, kind bartenders. Expensive drinks. I probably would have purchased more cocktails but $16 for a drink + $2 tip adds up super quickly. Otherwise. Great music and pretty clean.

My good friend took me here to see a childhood friend of his that he grew up with. Turns out it was the owner Ricky. I was introduced to Ricky and his partner who are very nice people. One of their friend was celebrating his 25 th birthday so we were quickly escorted to the V.I.P section towards the rear of the establishment where the birthday boy was already set up with cupcakes and drinks.. This large area included very handsome leather couches and a large banquet sofa that could easily sit upwards of 6 people comfortably. There was a photo station built into the wall as well as entertainment on the flat screen television that also housed a variety of games. I was impressed by the ambiance and location of the lounge, everyone and staff was following protocol with temperature checks, masks etc..most importantly the crowd was a mixture of very attractive, sophisticated adults that set the mood for a very interesting evening. The drinks were great and our server went above and beyond, very friendly as well. There was a small variety of finger foods on the menu, but I chose to drink my calories instead. Towards the end of the evening we were ushered to the other section towards the front of the lounge as the night wind down. There we were engaged in conversation from Ricky the owner as well as some of the staff. I met some locals from the neighborhood as well as some from out of town. There was a very high profile official who happened to be sitting across and eventually we were all engaged in laughter and trading stories of past and present. Overall it was a pleasant experience and I cannot wait to return to support Ricky as well as the local community in that area.

Not all clientele was either willing or easy to talk to in this LGBTQ + “friendly” bar/lounge. I was charged $45 for two drinks with a $4 tip of which one came in a miniature kiddie glass. The music was blaring to the point of distortion, and the DJ blasted noisy sirens every 5 minutes or so that were deafening. It was almost impossible to hold a conversation without having to shout. Very disappointing.

Drinks are way too expensive here. Crowd comes late.
