Environment is chill but $10 surcharge for someone on a Spotify playlist is wild. Giving black label alcohol when not requested and then overcharging the tip is even wilder.

Honestly I like this bar but the older white guy, who says he's the owner, but I guess he's only the manager??? Always wears terrible Hawaiian shirts and hovers over all his employees. Ruins the vibe of the whole place, not only is he hover managing the whole staff but he has the worst attitude. He turns away more recurring customers than he brings back in. Seriously the bar is great but so poorly managed.

Went to the Gemini last night.The poor bartender was working by herself with one bar back. She was so busy. I think we waited 15 minutes for a beer and a cocktail. She also looked super unhappy - rightfully so. C’mon management!! Help your people AND your customers out. At the very least, require your bar back to have an OLCC so that they can at least pour beer or something. This is the first time I’ve been back since it’s been under new management and honestly, probably the last.

Went on a Sunday afternoon where only one person was on staff. The club was not busy with maybe 6 other patrons. Despite this, the wait for drinks was over 20 minutes. When we finally were serviced the bar tender was rude.
After ordering, no receipt was provided and our credit card statement indicated we'd be charged an additional $15 ($25 total, order was a beer($7) and a diet coke ($3)).
I would not recommend this location due to poor service and dishonest practices. The owners should consider removing the bar tender who works Sundays.

No one was at the bar. 2 bar tenders ignored us for 10 min. Then gave us crappy attitude and was rushing my fiance to pick what he wanted, maybe 2 seconds went by and he walked away from us didnt let my fiance pick what he wanted. Gave me my beer threw the receipt at us and walked away. Will not be coming back. Only good thing about the place was the band. crappy atmosphere and customer service.

Gemini Club in Lake Oswego is a great place for live music and to meet friendly people. We were there on a Friday night to watch and dance 🕺 💃 to the amazing band Hit Machine. Great band. The atmosphere is very lively and energetic. Lots of people having a blast 💥. Seating is limited so best to arrive early. Service is okay. It gets very crowded and the bar loads up quickly so there is a wait time for drinks 🍹🍻. There are no waitresses or waiters so you have to stand at the bar and order. Food is so so. You might think about eating before you come. All in all, the Gemini Club is a great place to come and have a fun, exciting, and an enjoyable experience. Side note: DO NOT park in the Rite Aid parking lot or you will get towed away. There is plenty of on street parking.

Used to be good. Now don’t waste your time. Cheap ownership charges $10 a head on Friday and Saturday just to get in. Filled with weird old LO swingers. Hit the Firehouse or go to Portland
Went in on a weekday for a bingo night. They also had an open mic night at the same time. There are two sides almost, one side being more open where the open mic was, the other there’s the bar, and on the other side are several billiard tables and booth seats. It was cute that it seemed the older men were there for open mic and their wives (I’m only assuming) were over playing bingo. Neither side was very busy. Food took quite a while to get to us, and you have to order at the bar- no table service. But it was good and so were the drinks. The bartender and lady doing bingo were both friendly.
Parking is limited. Prices were fair.

I recently visited The Gemini and was appalled by the treatment my friend and I received. While using the restroom, an unidentified woman entered and made inappropriate remarks, accusing us of something without explanation. Despite our polite attempts to clarify, she continued to harass us while we were in the stalls. Afterward, the woman followed us out, yelling at me and threatening to call the police. I requested that she involve a manager, as she had not identified herself or explained the issue. The manager later confirmed that she was an employee but did not provide any further details about the incident. I was then asked to leave the establishment, though I complied while seeking clarification on the reason. The manager apologized and mentioned we could return another time. I am still confused and disturbed by the lack of explanation and the unacceptable behavior of the employee. It seems inappropriate for an employee to invade customers' privacy in this way, especially without clear justification.

Stumbled upon this bar as a friend and I were taking a stroll through lake oswego and I’m so glad we did! Had great drinks and appetizers and were wonderfully served by Amethyst, the bartender. We will definitely be back to enjoy the live music and late night karaoke.

Fun night with live music. Drinks were a bit pricey but they had pool tables and lots of places to sit.

It's a place that makes good memories and good feelings being with good people and staff.
