About The R&J Lounge and Supper Club

The R&J Lounge and Supper Club is a retro-themed restaurant that captures the nostalgic vibe of the 60s and 70s. The atmosphere feels like a cool uncle's house, with vintage decor and AstroTurf adding to the charm. The menu features classic "supper club" dishes such as spaghetti and meatballs, along with a rotating TV dinner special. Appetizers like the relish tray, kimchi, and hummus are popular highlights, and the TV dinner of the day is often a favorite choice. The food is praised for being the best you can get at a bar, with dishes like the Lamb burger and trout receiving high praise, even being compared to fine dining. Guests recommend trying all the seasonal cocktails and starting with a relish plate, especially if they enjoy collard green kimchi. The place is known for its creative cocktail names, like "Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica," and the friendly service and fun atmosphere make it a great spot for drinks, food, and people-watching. The lounge is cozy but lively, with a mix of bar seating, intimate tables, and a patio when the weather is nice. Many reviews mention the great cocktails and surprisingly good, affordable food, making it ideal for a date or meeting with friends. The staff is welcoming, and the vibe is relaxed and fun, perfect for enjoying good drinks and conversation. Some guests note that the patio could be improved, as it is enclosed during winter, making it feel a bit stuffy, but overall, it remains the best bar in the city. The club enforces an age restriction of no one under 21 after 10 pm, adding to its exclusive, relaxed vibe. Overall, it’s a fun and memorable place to visit, where comfort, good food, and lively atmosphere come together.
