Cool spot. Nothing high pressure, good place to relax and unwind. Another one of Hawk's joints. So you know it's real.

I was there at 7pm on a Friday evening September 2025, for an employee event.
There was a full parking lot. I parked on Cheryl Parkway and walked 1/2 block to the front door.
There was a band playing outside and a food truck (no food service inside). Kids playing outside in spacious yard area near patio tables and fire pit. There was guy dancing in front of the band twirling a hula hoop on his head, torso, arms, legs, and feet.
The lounge/bar area was packed with people. Self service with 3 bartenders. Unique menu of yummy drinks ranging $12 and up. Several varieties of beer on tap plus cans and bottles.
The noise level was loud but we could hear each other. There was a line for bathrooms around 9pm.
Overall it was a fun experience!

Good cocktails, and friendly service. There's one pool table, a couple dart boards and one of those tabletop shuffleboard things? But then they also have some sort of modern-style furniture. kind of odd, but cute place. They had this cucumber mint spritz type of thing I got that I really liked!

We recently hosted a couples shower at The Rusty Bee Lounge and it was absolutely perfect! The venue is beautiful-chic, cozy, and perfect for a celebration.
From the very beginning, the owner and staff were incredibly helpful and had such a positive, can-do attitude that made the entire planning process a breeze.
The drinks were a hit-creative, delicious, and beautifully presented. They were also very accommodating with our needs and went out of their way to make the event feel personalized and special. Highly recommend the Rusty Bee Lounge for any event-especially if you want a memorable, picture perfect setting!

We hosted about 45 people here for our couple shower for our wedding and had an amazing time! The atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for and the owner and staff were all extremely nice. Highly recommend!

Came here for the DJ tonight and it was a fun vibe for the art in the place and the DJ, Audifax!
They also had a Smashburger food truck but I don't believe it's part of this business. It was great though because it was totally fine to order food from the food truck and sit outside and enjoy the venue.

Gem of a place. Excellent cocktails and love that they have mocktails too. I had yummy coconut shrimp and fries from the food truck! I've tried the watermelon margarita and the hibiscus bees knees. Both were perfect - not too sweet and the presentation is lovely.

Food trucks for food. Wait staff was nice. More of a Downton, craft beer, young professionals place. Great location most of the people seemed to live within the 3 block radius.
