Friendly neighborhood drinking spot. Six seat bar, so if yo don't want to chat, best go somewhere else, bub.

I freaking love this spot. Whitney is an amazing owner, so friendly and hospitable. The customers are all friendly and welcoming too. I often come here alone and can always count on good conversation!

If you want to go to a small, echo-filled place and listen to a bartender converse loudly to one person at the bar, The BottleNeck Lounge is the place for you. Drinks and food were good, but we felt like we were intruding on someone else's evening the whole time we were there. Not going back.

I had the cajun chicken wings last night, they were great. Theres also a blackboard in the bathroom thats a lot of fun, and they throw a lot of cool events here too.

New owners have done a great job vamping this place up. The food was amazing, they make their own pizza dough and sandwich bread (and they serve food until close, which is great for us late-nighters). Bartender Whit was fun and stylish and she made delicious cocktails with a cool new Orleans take on a couple. It was a fun atmosphere and I felt at home immediately like I was hanging out with old friends. Definitely check this place out.

I don't like to leave bad reviews but I was just so bothered by this experience. So, I suggested this place to my friend based on reviews. It was jus me and my friend. We both were excited to try this place we've never been to before! When we walked in it was almost dead silence in there. The tv had a game but the volume was probably on 2 or something. No music. It was almost dead silence in there. The ambiance was definitely not there. Honestly, it felt awkward. As we walked in, the people at the bar looked at us. There was about 8 people in there. The bartender looked at us and he didn't say a thing to me and my friend. My friend and I picked a table against the wall right in front of the bar. The bartender glanced at us and continued to look at his phone. The bartender easily could have greeted us and say something, anything to us. We felt very unwelcomed, which is ironic because the opposite of that was the one of the reasons why I suggested to go there! So, since the bartender had no interest in servicing us, I mean he is in the "service industry," you would think we'd get at least a greet! Not even a "Hi" or a "Hey!" Or even this . So, after the bartender showed the lack of interest in serving us. I felt no need or want to spend my hard earned money on the lack of service. My friend drove 30 mins to pick me up and then another 25 to go check this place out, but to only NOT get the good experience that I read about.I been working in customer service for 20 years, food and retail, and I've learned that something as simple as a greet can go a long way! It's the experience that brings customers back and makes them stay! Unless they don't want new customers! I can't speak for my friend but I'm open to maybe giving it another chance since I didn't get to try anything! But idk about going if that same bartender is there!

Sweet little lounge with mixologist grade cocktails. We had alot of fun going on Derby Day when they indulged with a Derby themed party inviting clientele to wear their fascinators, serving mint juleps, and having the race on the TV's. They do a great job with the theme party. Indianapolis 500 is at the end of May! The staff was friendly and made great cocktails. They have snacks, but they are next door to a burger place also. At the time of this writing, the street is torn up in some construction debacle, but there is still street parking on the side streets, and a walk path is set up to get into the businesses. It's a cozy space with a lounge lizard vibe. I could see sitting in there at night in the dark holding a martini glass listening to a sultry, slow burning torch singer in the corner crooning some steady, sexy Peggy Lee or booming bass Shirley Bassey Bond theme. Let me take a drag on my invisible cigarette. Oh yeah.

New, clean, well designed and fun. Monday night was low key. There was one screen above the bar, and a wide variety of liquors. Classy, confident, articulate and friendly bartender makes me want to return.

This place is one of my favorites, great staff and service, cozy and quite, I like the fact that you can have a conversation unlike other loud places; like horse racing? Check this place for the Kentucky Derby. I never get tire of coming.
