The Honey Lounge Drinkery Reviews
We visited The Honey Lounge on a whim, and man are we glad we stopped. The place has a cool, cozy atmosphere. We got there and were the only customers for quite awhile, so we tried every flavor of mead, played cards and chatted with the owner. She was so kind, and even offered samples of upcoming flavors.
We consider ourselves amateur wine and mead connoisseurs, and left with a new favorite place, and an excellent recommendation for our friends and family!
