Midtown Lounge

Love the convenience of this place. It's one of our favorites to walk to and catch the game or just grab a quick drink. They have a nice beer selection but my favorite part is the activity shelf filled with games and coloring books. Coloring while enjoying a beer is quite relaxing if I do say so myself!

I stumbled upon this place walking in midtown and I'm glad I did! On Fridays they have deals on their flights which is a fun way to get a good taste of their menu. This is a great place to watch football games in a relaxed environment. Service was fast and they made sure to check on us frequently. I will definitely be coming back!

This is a pretty chill bar in the midtown. It had a decent amount of seating inside and outside. They had a pretty solid selection of ciders, IPAs, and pale ales. I took a friend out for her birthday and decided to try this place. We did not realize it wasn't a full bar where they serve cocktails. However, we settled for their lemon seltzer and guava cider. I had the guava cider before from Aces and it was delicious as usual. The lemon seltzer wasn't too bad she didn't enjoy it so we switched drinks. I am usually not a huge fan of seltzers but I wouldn't mind getting it again. We order their sweet potatoes fries and naughty tots as well. Both were great. The bartender was friendly and was able to explain what they had on tap before we ordered. I am definitely keeping this place as a spot on my list since I am a huge fan of ciders.

New spot!! Super friendly service, cute little spot (used to be Cider House or something, I just remember the Poke bowls and amazing friendly previous owners). So same spot with lots of small bite options and tons of beer options. Not a whole lot of other drinks (one meh red wine option for example) and def no full bar. Ordered the hummus plate and jalapeño poppers and each were under 12 bucks so the food is not pricey. Poppers are reported to be very good (and seemingly made in house) as is their chipotle hummus- very good. I'd come back for snacks and a drink.

The ciders here are phenomenal and there are games to play while drinking as well. They have connect 4, Jenga, cards, etc... Best of all the service was great, bartender very sociable, attentive just overall great experience. No food in the restaurant though, just ciders and beers.

I love this place! The owners (who happen to own the jewelry place next door) are super nice and welcoming. The selection of beers and ciders are well cultivated. I kinda like the weird mid century modern/Jetson's decor they have going on. Just a relaxed place to stop in and have some beers. I will definitely come back.

Really awesome little place to hang out and enjoy some cider and beer! Wonderful front patio, cool seating inside, too! Incredibly attentive service and delicious food. If we lived closer, this would be a weekly hangout.

Heck yeah, for when I want to find out how local people are feeling and thinking, I always go to a good local neighborhood bar. https://www.yelp.com/biz/queen-elizabeth-london-2?osq=queen+elizabethNo complaintsOld fashioned neighborhood bar --a good local neighborhood bar has much in common with a good local neighborhood community center to take care of your stresses and blues.Palpable cool, as in fine, atmosphereFriendly clientele.

Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with food.2 Towns Pacific Pineapple Cider --By the time of the Civil War, there were many kinds of fruits growing across the United States, but most of them didn't taste as good as today's versions, so people didn't eat as much of them as today. Instead they fermented them. And, many drank hard cider. Cider was cheaper to make than beer. Thirty-six gallons a year. That's how much hard cider the average adult drank during the American Colonial era. Children drank theirs watered down in a beverage called ciderkin. Fermented cider, distilled brandy and cider vinegar were popular. Freshly pressed soft cider keeps only a few days, so food preservation was critical. Alcohol is a preservative. Fermentation was an easy way to turn fruits and vegetables into something that would keep all winter. Most importantly, it was something to drink that was safer than water. Hard cider reigned as the alcoholic beverage of choice until the early 1900s.Like wine and beer today, making cider requires both terroir and technique. Fruit is planted, tended, harvested, crushed, crafted, and sold. There are many styles of cider, ranging from sweet to bone dry to bitter.Imbibers can find both high- and low-alcohol hard ciders. There is draught, bottled, sparkling, and still. Some are delicate and refined with only a whisper of fruit flavor and aroma. Some are burly and rustic, wallowing in earthy fruit must. All of these options have their place. There is no one-size-fits-all cider any more than there is only one style of beer or wine. All cider, though, should taste like something more serious and satisfying than the sugary stuff that comes out of a juice box or bottle of faux sparkling wine. Worthy craft cider has character, backbone and swagger. Hard cider is for grownups.Cider isn't just good to drink. It can play the starring role in both sweet and savory recipes. As with wine and beer, never cook with a cider you are not willing to drink. Character counts.What this business did in stark contrast to many businesses I've frequented lately:Was disabled-friendly.No automatic gratuity was added to our bill. We just don't pay any added automatic gratuity or merchant fees as we pay only for what we had bargained for upfront and received.No one here offered to commit fraud to reward us, pay us or compensate us for posting 5 star reviews of this business. FTC forbids the use of fake testimonials as are illegal under Section 5 of the FTC Act 15 USC 45 as they are using unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce.No one here hassled us about my Service Dog or the Veterans' accouterments I adorn her with lavishly. I don't think anyone even noticed my Service Dog entering, under the table, or leaving.The owners of this business like their Freedom so they have a Military and Veterans Discount as a thank you to Veterans with a publicly disclosed daily Veteran Discount which provides resource to ensure Veterans (rare 7% of the population) and GIs (rare one-half of one percent of the population) opportunity to participate in American Dream Veterans and GIs' sacrifices have made possible for 100% of the population.I'll be back.

The owner is cool. Nobody will ever forget the bathroom code. My post needs to be at least 85 characters. The owner is the coolest character.

It's a shame, I used to like this place but it's gone downhill. Zero real gluten free options, despite advertising themselves as gluten-free and vegan friendly. They have gluten-free bread on the menu but "we're usually out."
