I was drinking an N/A beer and the server offered me a hot chocolate. It was a bit chilly out and I just think that's excellent customer service.

The REAL Downtown Lounge was the seminal punk music club in the Plaza Hotel on Elm St(1980+) How can you steal that name and put it on a phony bar for poseurs????

Think of it as Cheers as a punk music dive

Tiny dank bar with a cool atmosphere. Fast friendly staff who played great tunes over the stereo. The bathroom art has to be seen to be loved

Excellent dive bar with great music and great happy hour specials. Service is attentive and quick. I love the clientele, and the bartenders are always very friendly. The food is decent and affordable. The bathroom is not handicap accessible, but very clean and great toilet paper.

Great dive bar with friendly bartenders and a mostly local clientele. Cheap drinks, simple but tasty bar food, and decent music through the jukebox.

I would call this a upscale dive bar because its got all the essence of a dive bar but its not dirty and you can feel safe in it. The only issue I found was the bathroom situation, you open the bathroom door and there are immediately very narrow stairs to the toilet. My friend has MS and had some issues using the facilities. I'm not sure if there is a handicap bathroom or not. Overall the place was comfortable, the bartender was wicked nice and the drinks were delicious!

I like the Downtown Lounge. It has a nice Bar feel. Good food. I've been many times. On this particular night, I had an old fashion. Had a great orange flavor to it. I go regularly and will continue to go. If you're looking for a drink in the downtown area, check it out.

I LOVE that DTL is requiring proof of vaccines to enter!! Keep up the great work!! I prefer to not drink/dine in the company of antivaxxers

Discrimination has no place in 2022. Hope y’all survive without the thousands who would have supported your business

This place is in violation of the law and practices discrimination against people like me who cannot take the vAx or wear the facial decoration for medical reasons. Sad day we are living in.
