Literally will always be my favorite bar in the city. I don’t go to bars often but if I do it’s Poetry Lounge. Plus I always need a hot dog and they have ginormous hot dogs lol
And always having constant events, shows, etc. is so great since they support all kinds of artists.
Shout out to all the bartenders dealing with me as well and effectively getting me crunk. U guys the real ones

Small neighborhood bar with live entertainment. We felt welcomed as soon as we walked in. Beer/drink selection was excellent. Bartenders were quite friendly and made sure our drinks were never empty. The sound in the place was incredible and we enjoyed the singer we came to see. We parked on street for free just a short distance from the bar.

Cute atmosphere and little local shows in an intimate environment. Love the Chartruese (spelling?) poster inside, and got a great little poetry book (apparently by the owner!) from the Little Free Library outside. It was a nice morning read when I still would smoke cigs and watch the sunrise with my coffee. The old audio equipment inside on the shelf is a nice touch.

Absolutely adore the vibes, bartenders, and crowd the place brings in.

I love the vibe here! I don’t go out much anymore since I stopped drinking but they have great mocktails and I enjoy being there and it doesn’t make me feel uncomfortable without having booze. I can’t wait to come back again for Karaoke soon!

Old School vibes in a new joint. Owned by a real-deal poet. Who writes, performs and publishes. This place is a great venue for all lost souls looking to find an honest audience. We need to gather and not be trampled on by technical brothers and real-estate hustlers. Get down here and soak up the underground.

fun staff, fun environment, fun drinks. you never really know what you're going to get walking into poetry lounge, and that's what makes it awesome. Would be awesome if they added some veggie dogs to the menu....
