the whole venue is a vibe. Se7en is an awesome host and his staff is very inviting. never a dull moment. all ages come together and enjoy the art of poetry.

Very nice spot. We went for the Sunday night poetry, and it was really a vibe. Good food and good drinks too, although the drinks were a little pricey ...I will be going again. ... its located downtown so we did have to pay $20 to park but that's not their fault.

Parking: Lots of pay to park parking lots around the place.

Came to the Poetry Lounge to support a friend and poet on her birthday and I had an amazing experience! Great atmosphere. Amazing artists, funny host, positive vibes all throughout a grown and sexy crowd.

Cool place. But drinks are overpriced. $27 plus tip for a crown and seven and an absolut with oj. Same two drinks are $17 at most places.

Today was my first night back since before COVID. I’m having an amazing experience. The poets, the vibes, the music (and that DJ?!) are AMAZING!!! I’m probably gonna walk out a little horse because the way I’ve been sing my little heart out… lol. If you’re ever debating on coming out, don’t hesitate. You won’t be disappointed!

I didn’t order food so n/a. The drinks were good and the bar tender was very kind and he was fast. I treated the food off the drinks. Ha! Great atmosphere! Not enough seating. I had to leave an hour and a half early because I didn’t have a seat. All the seats were filled. The parking was free across the street but I saw alot of people using meters around me. Valet was around $20. Awkward entrance path if the greeter isn’t paying attention to open the door for you. Get there early. I think it was a good atmosphere.
