“My family and I go to The Depot on a weekly basis! Amazing staff, food, drinks! Atmosphere always makes you feel comfortable and instantly have a great time. Highly recommend! Once you go, the people will bring you back over and over again, they are the most amazing part!“

“Once you step inside, you will be greeted by two incredibly warm and friendly brothers. Their menu offers a wide variety of options, but what delighted me the most was their authentic homemade Lebanese cuisine. The Grapeleaves are AMAZINING. They have the best homemade fries around. The cleanliness of the place is also worth mentioning, as I observed their meticulous attention to detail while they cleaned. I am eager to revisit this establishment and would wholeheartedly recommend it to others.“

“Best membership around hands down.“

“If you’re looking for a place in Augusta where you can truly unwind, Easy Street Lounge is it.
From the moment you walk in, there’s zero pretense — just good energy, good music, and genuinely good people. Britt behind the bar is an absolute gem. She’s attentive, welcoming, and somehow makes the whole place feel like you’ve been coming there for years — even if it’s only your first or second visit.
There’s a small pool table that keeps things lively, great music playing without overwhelming the conversation, and a back deck that I can only imagine is electric in the summer. Honestly, if it’s this good in the winter, I can’t wait to see what it’s like when the warm weather hits.
What really stands out, though, is the crowd. It’s one of the most inclusive, relaxed atmospheres I’ve experienced. No one cares about your age, your background, or your preferences. Everyone’s just there to relax, laugh, and enjoy themselves. That kind of vibe is rare — and Easy Street nails it.
I’ve only been twice so far, but both times I left thinking the same thing: this place is special.
Highly recommend if you want real people, real conversation, and a genuinely good night out in Augusta.“
