The BottleNeck Lounge

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.

I love this place and the burger place next door. And having those burgers with fancy cocktails next door. It's awesome! The bartenders are always awesome and the cocktails are always soooo good and perfect. And I'm sorry to the blonde bartender working tonight [Saturday night] that I made heart shaped eyes to every time you gave us drinks. You're just so dang beautiful. But besides that- excellent customer service. Thank you. You all are radddd

Divey. Awesome. Amazing old fashioned. & super cool vibes !!! This place was slow. HOW? The longer i sit here, the more I love it. Their cocktails are, fantastic !!!I would choose this over many places in the heart of cap hill. Awesome bartender. Super cool space. Come visit. Let's make it a thing :)Also. Bonus ! They play some music that sounds straight from an 80s porno.

Opens at 4:00 pm, and is close to my Mom's place.Parking is likely going to be a nightmare, there are steep hills everywhere and no lot.I think the bartender's name was Bryce and he was cool. Shot of Balvenie Doublewood 12 year old was $14.00...reasonable, I guess.Interior is very interesting to look at. I'd go back, they have some beguiling looking food offerings on the menu for reasonable cost.

The cocktails were expensive but delicious, and the bartender was knowledgeable about gluten free stuff (I have celiac). It's a small place, and the vibe is cool neighbor hangout spot. People were friendly and it was a relaxing place. I'll definitely be back!

New Orleans vibes in Seattle, can't recommend enough! Knowledgeable bartender and awesome food options.

This is a cute neighborhood bar with fantastic pizza and apps! We had the Caprizza pizza and the Buffalo wings and they were wonderful!! The watermelon margaritas are also super tasty! We're excited to go back!

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.

Dope vibe, great drinks, delicious food. Bartender is hella cool! Will def be back!!!

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!
