Lingering Shade Social Club

First negative review on Google from me. Extremely disappointed in the male bartender’s poor attitude. He was rude, condescending, and entitled when one of our party members left a 10% tip on her and her husband’s beers/cocktails at the bar. She was guilted into tipping an additional 10% (20% tip total) and he was still rude! No wonder this place was dead on a Saturday night.

A kool place with great service

Showed up with a group of friends at 8:05 on a Saturday night and was told the kitchen was closed. What a joke. Every other restaurant in the area including Superica, Yeppa and Hawkers had hour plus waits but they think it's good business to close their kitchen at 8:00. No wonder this place is always empty. I'm sure it will be closing for good soon.

This place should be great. It’s not. We stopped here for cocktails before a dinner reservation but were really hungry so ordered some of their small bites. I’m pretty sure the deviled eggs were pre-packaged or frozen - regardless, they were disgusting. The crab dip also didn’t taste fresh. There was nobody there on a Friday night, which is telling…. Pretty hard to mess up this location, yet somehow they are.

They treated my dog better than they treated me.

100/10 would recommend.

Such a delightful spot to reconnect with alumni and friends for a private event. The ambiance was inviting and the service was nice. I will definitely be going back.

Bartender was rude and dismissive. I politely asked if I could swap my drink, and instead of trying to help, I was told “that’s our recipe” with no effort to make it right. As someone who has worked in the restaurant industry for years, I would never leave a guest unhappy like that. Really disappointing experience.

We strolled in off the beltline looking for a place to have a glass of wine & this place went beyond our expectations! They served their wine out of a tap so it is chilled & delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and the staff is very friendly. We will be back! :)

Our server Heather was phenomenal and very nice - but the owner(?) Greta, looked like she saw a ghost when we walked in ( a group of 20ish young people) when the place was empty. We felt judged and out of place and like they didn’t want us there. Do better if you want more of a crowd on a Saturday afternoon when the rest of the beltline is packed. Thank you to our servers - yall were phenomenal

Fun atmosphere and great drinks. Perfect stop for a day along the Beltline

The best place to linger. Longer in the shade.

With many, many years in the service industry, I know the difference between an off night/day and a lack of care. Unfortunately, our server showed consistent negligence and lack of professionalism —taking no responsibility when concerns were raised. In fact, he was argumentative. Mistakes happen, but the absence of accountability made this a truly disappointing experience. I don’t agree with calling out by name, but if management is interested I’d be more than happy to share more specifics. For others, if you’re looking for a spritz and nice experience on the Beltline, I’d give this a skip.

I like the seating in this place and the location is nice. I’ve only ever been for drinks. Not my favorite but I would sit outside and try the dinner menu
