Overlook Lodge: A Rustic Watering Hole

It's been awhile since I've been to the Overlook Lodge. My best friend got tickets to the Miracle Pop Up event that's held here every year. It includes a shot and two drinks on the menu. This sells out fast! We got it reserved on a Saturday from 7:30 pm to 8:45 pm. When you walk in, you will definitely get into the Christmas spirit. Every inch of the place is decorated. We started off with the Naughty shot. I got the Snowball Old-Fashioned and my best friend got Rudolph's Replacement. Second round, I got the Rudolph's Replacement since I tried my friends and loved it. Nice dessert drink. It contains vodka, coffee liqueur, white crème de cacao, orange curaçao, chai syrup, almond milk, and aromatic bitters. My best friend got Yippee Ki Yay Mother Fu******. Which has different types of rum, coconut and pineapple juice. At the end they play clips from classic movies and music. Fake snow starts coming down. So much fun. At the end I bought my friend and I matching collectible mugs to take home. If you haven't experienced this, you need to.

We had a wonderful experience here with their Miracle Pop-up bar.the bartenders whereAMAZING the drinks where incredible and let me tell you it's the first time I've ever seen snow inside a bar. This was truly an amazing night! Loved how Christmas-y this place was decorated. Definitely coming back next year

I am a fan of anything Gorilla Cinemas does, but the Overlook is probably my favorite. I've been several times, but they recently announced they updated their motif and I wanted to check it out. Honestly, it doesn't look much different than it used to, but it leans more into the ski lodge theme. Service and cocktails are always great. We tried a few from the updated menu and they were great. The Planter's Punch is VERY booze forward, so be aware of that. Our favorite was the Singapore Sling. They have live music on weekends, trivia on Tuesdays, and fondue on Thursdays that I've been wanting to try. Overall it's a nice, cozy bar that's a perfect addition to your night out in Pleasant Ridge.

At Christmas time this place does an amazing pop up! The rest of the year it feels like the lobby of the overlook in the movie shining. The frozen hot chocolate tasted great and was adorable. However, I was pretty disappointed that they didn't offer the fondue for two that was advertised on Thursdays. I guess it's just during the cold weather months. I hope to be able to try it this winter!

We went to the Overlook Lodge for their Miracle at the Overlook event. I believe they said this is the 7th year for converting the bar into a Christmas bar. Under normal circumstances, it is a neighborhood bar. On this Saturday night in December, it was definitely not normal. We purchased a ticket in advance. This ticket gave us 70 minutes in the bar along with a naughty or nice shot and 2 holiday cocktails in festive cocktail glasses. The bartenders were extremely busy making cocktails from scratch. We had such fun. We decided we are going again next year. Tickets do sale out so look for them early or sign up for the mailing list to know of the events ahead of time.

Perfect location for a drink after dinner at Lonely Pine! There are plenty of tables and comfy seating; music went live at 8 pm (it was a Saturday). A large group also had a Goodfella's pizza delivered while we were there and it looked like a good idea!

Reservations are required for their Christmas season, but do it! I guarantee you will be in the holiday spirit by the time you leave. Such a fun, unique experience!! The themed cocktails were very good as well.

Was expecting more of a spooky vibe but still had a great time here. The cocktails are fantastic and they play old creepy movies! Love it! We went on a slow Saturday night and service was quick and the DJ was playing all my alt faves. Parking is across the street behind other buildings but not a far walk at all. I've heard that Christmas is a good time to go so I will definitely be back.

Fun, rustic neighborhood bar inspired by the movie 'the shining'. The movie itself was playing when we stopped in. The bartenders are helpful and efficient. We stopped in for to-go cocktails and even in a big styrofoam cup, they tasted great! I got the 'imaginary friend' which was light and refreshing. I don't love rose flavored drinks/food but the bartender assured me the rose was simply a spray mist after the drink is made. He was not wrong, It was just a finishing and while it added to the overall cocktail, I didn't taste it, it wasn't overpowering. So if you don't like rose, don't let it stray you away from this cocktail!Definitely planning to come back to hang in the various nooks and enjoy the ambiance with a group of friends.

Terrible experience here. Staff was very rude and unprofessional. Manager did nothing in taking responsibility for staffs actions. Very disappointed and will not be returning. Stay away!
