FELT Bar & Lounge

I ran out of room giving the backstory so I cut it and and will start from here....We get there and there is a line. Not a long one but it wasn't moving so one of us says "Let's get a table". Guess which one didn't say that. While they are deciding if we are going to get a table, I read the dress code. It said not sweat pants but my sweats weren't bad. What I was wearing looks like casual sweats that a ball player would be wearing so when I asked if I would be able to get in, the guy was like yeah, no problem. I was a little suspicious and my boy started laughing because it seemed like dude didn't even let me finish my question before he said yeah. He must have know how smooth I was and how I would add appeal to the club LOL. My thought was we would stand in line and enter because the main reason we were going to do bottle service was to ensure we get in with what we were wearing. Come to find out, we were entertaining bottle service because we are old and they wanted to ensure they had a place to sit down. So we tell them we want to get a table and this is when we get to see the staff in action. Up to this point, we only see out front security dude and a lady letting people in at a slow pace. They go get someone to arrange our table and they walk us in. The dude that walks us in is very professional. I thought he was walking us into a safe deposit box in a vault the way he handled us. It was nice. We get in and there is a section to our right of younger people, mid 20's it turned out and 2 were having a birthday. They were pretty mellow but they were coupled up. Once the single women started to join the party, it was a whole different vibe. Table was a $850 spend which I thought was a bit much for this place. I mean, it's in the MGM but it isn't Vegas which was only $150 more. I got Uncle Nearest because supporting black businesses is important to me and a bottle of Grey Goose because we don't drink Tequilla and we love Grey Goose. We asked for ginger beer, cranberry juice, orange juice and sprite. We didn't get the ginger beer at first but we did get ginger ale. Eventually they brought out the ginger beer but that took a while. However, that didn't matter because it took even longer to bring out the spirits. I don't remember the woman's name but she was a good server. She was reasonably attentive considering it seemed like she had a lot of tables to attend to. There were times we had to stop her as she walked by because we needed something. She was obviously preoccupied with what the other table asked of her but we also needed something so I stopped her and asked if they had stir straws that you get in rock glasses because we had full size soda straws but only rock glasses and that don't work well. She did get some straws cut for us in a timely manner.I'm just going to come right out and say it. There were way too many dudes in there. I don't know if it was more balanced at one point and the women were just like, nah and rolled out but I hope they weren't just letting people in because they were in line. I am a compassionate person and I understand it's a struggle to get into some clubs at times but you have to keep the balance. I know you want to make money and dudes spend money but they spend more money if women are in there. I guess some money is better than no money but I think it taints the brand. I'm not pressed to go back because it had to be 11 guys to 1 woman. Now, we weren't out for that but the ratio is still the appeal. The DJ was pretty good. I don't remember when he actually started spinning because I was focused on the game and didn't notice him til the TV went off which I'm guessing is when he got up there. I hope my vision wasn't that focused on the game that I didn't see a DJ standing right there but there wasn't really much of anything to watch but the game unless I wanted to watch a club full of dudes watch the 6 women dancing together on the dance floor. Most of the people dancing were couples that look like they came together and groups of girls. I saw two girls dance with what seemed like randoms but everyone else was just standing around. I guess they were taking just a break from gambling.It wasn't a bad experience but it wasn't one that makes me want to go back anytime soon. If this service was in a different place or if it was a better night the review would be slightly different. They can't help that I chose to come out on this specific date but it was a Friday and we did stay til they kicked us out. Yup! The old dudes shut that piece down! LOL.

I've been coming to FELT for years, never check in, never reviewed. Here goes nothing. Felt has always had a more mature crowd (that's a good thing). Tables are 1500 for the outside and 750 for inside. They definitely run this place like a club. I appreciate it because if I'm out, it's almost always a group setting. Paying for a table will always be the way to go, at least for me. You can sit at the bar or hang out at the high top tables. I've learned to appreciate Felt because you never worry about paying for parking, if you get bored you can go throw away money at the casino, and the music is always decent. There is no food, you have to go to the food court but other than that, it's decent! Luckily my significant other was able to smoke his cigar there too which is a WIN! They do have hookah so if that's your thing you are in luck! Management is super awesome and always takes great care of me. Waitresses are always the best! Attire: You can wear anything. I had girlfriends come into town without "club" clothes and one friend came straight from a Nationals game with her "baseball" attire. It's definitely dressy but you'll be fine if you slide in with everyday clothes.

Went To Felt to celebrate a friends bday. It was chilled. They have a patio with a bar outside and you can hookah! Seating is RSVP, so that's the only downside. We had to stand at the bar and do hookah. It would be nice to purchase hookah and be able to sit in the area. It was midnight and I asked the bartender if people typically come after midnight if they rsvp'd. He said yes, but I believe it was all

I went to check out Felt Lounge during my National Harbor staycation. I had to walk through the casino to get to Felt. I was the only customer in there on Friday at 6pm. At first it felt exclusive, then it felt empty. I stayed until around 8pm. My phone battery ran out, and the bar was unable to charge my phone. Three more customers came in while I was there.The cocktails are excellent. I had a couple of Underneath the Sheets cocktail. My waitress was attentive and checked on me periodically. I would have preferred more bodies in the lounge, but I loved the ambiance. It's a beautiful, upscale, sexy lounge.I noticed all of the comfortable couches and tables, and outside seating were reserved. I was allowed to sit at a reserved table. The high top chairs and tables were open seating.If I'm staying at the MGM or in the area, I'll definitely grab drinks there again. I wouldn't drive out of my way just to go to this lounge.

This spot is cool if you want to grab a drink but on the first Fridays it's packed and in order to sit down you need to pay for a section. It's hit or miss. One time we got a section outside and it was cool. Another time the speakers did not work so we couldn't hear the music outside and we had two waiters who were assigned to our section but no one told them so when the bill came it was a little confusing.

Just a overpriced hotel bar/lounge inside of the casino that's trying to be a club. It's nice to look at and you can reserve a seated area. You have to weave through the Casino crowd in order to get to Felt. On the Saturday night I went it was 750. The area only had enough room to seat 4-5 comfortably. There was a small table in the center to sit your drinks. There is a dress code for this bar so no athletic apparel or tennis shoes allowed. Also no hats are allowed at all. It's really nice when you have a reserved area because a waitress will come over and take your drinks orders as well as them on your tab. However if you choose to go to the bar you'll have to pay as you go because they can't add it to the tab for your reserved table. Make sure you arrive before 9 PM otherwise you will have to pay a $20 cover charge. I think on Saturday nights they have a live DJ playing old school R&B music which was right up my alley. There is no bathroom inside of the bar area so you'll have to go back out into the main casino in order to use a restroom. Domestic beers were nine dollars a bottle imports were 10 or 11. The cocktails are on the expensive side as well. Wouldn't be my first choice of a place to go but the group decided on this spot for a birthday celebration so I came along.

This bar is cool, plenty of space to dance, and bottle service was good. I'd make sure to recommend you take some dancing shoes.

Awesome spot to hang out on the weekends! Great atmosphere, mature crowd and good music! If you want stiff drinks and chill ambiance this place has it. The lounge space is open and there's seating through out. There are big screen TVs around the bar which are great for catching a game or watching sports. There's also an outdoor area and patio available which is perfect for the warmer months. I love that this bar has a good cocktail menu and they also have cigars to buy and smoke outside. Throughout the week, this place goes from DJ nights to Piano Bar...to Guest singers, club night and everything in between. Just a heads up before going, there is a semi-dress code and the drinks are not cheap here! The drinks can easily run you between $15 to $20 bucks, but I must admit that they are just how I like it....STRONG AND NO FRILLS! Also, an added plus is that you are allowed to take your drinks from the bar and enjoy elsewhere throughout the MGM. Another note of mention, this lounge does not offer food and there are no restrooms....which is fine by me. There are plenty restrooms and food options around the MGM; including a food court. Other than this, I find FELT to be a great spot to hang out while at the MGM or to frequent before/after dinner or the casino. It's a chill vibe, cool ambiance, and the drinks, although pricey are great!It's a spot we always stop by when we are around the National Harbor or at the MGM.

I felt I needed to visit this place (sorry couldn't help it). The bar is located inside MGM casino. We were dressed up to take holiday pictures. Synchronicity since we didn't know there was a dress code. The host at the door was polite and outgoing. He let us know free seating was by the bar. The lounge areas were beautifully decorated and empty. Minimum ordering at the comfy lounge area is $100. They don't serve food. The bar area is beautiful. The wide screen television is easy to watch from seats at the counter and tables. The bartender was busy dealing with people ordering drinks. He wasn't noticing me. He didn't notice my husband either. I asked the hostess if she could help us. She did. We visited on a Sunday night. Taps and the sports bar was closed for private events. We enjoyed a quality visit without being pressured to order more items. If you want to eat first, the food court and restaurants are nearby.

Omg. My first time seeing this place and the ambiance is so darn cool. The people were very welcoming and nice. I'm from Milwaukee and while visiting this city/ place my sister celebrated her birthday and she was very happy! I'll be back-)!
