This is truly a hidden gem!!! It's small but worth every minute!!! They have hookah that is the BEST EVER!!! They have a local woman cooking food and selling plates...food was so DELICIOUS!!! The bartenders were so attentive and nice!! Drinks strong...definitely real alcohol sold here...not watered down!! We will definitely be back!! Had soooo much fun!!! Security at the door so we felt safe!! Thank you City Lounge!! We had a really great experience for our 16 year wedding anniversary!!! ❤️

Don't be turned-off by the lack of curb appeal because once you find the entrance to go inside, things improve from there. The staff is excellent and the music keeps the going and the drinks flowing, add a round of Hookah and you and your crew are in for a good time. The place is small and there is only one restroom for everyone so if you have a smaller bladder and pee often. This might not be the place for you. Overall, great place for locals to attend any day or night of the week. Go with the intentions of having a good time and you will, the music and the drinks won't disappoint you or your crew. Go during Happy Hour and enjoy the Happy Hour Specials $$
For what it is its a nice place. I would like their to be more food options whenever it its available. Otherwise the artist they have performing are Jerseys top tier and the DJ's really be cutting up 👌🏾. If you want any kind of space for you and a party of more than two you have to get a section the rest of the area is not big enough for anyone not by themselves or with only one person. There is an entrance fee and they take cash or use cashpp.
We had a birthday party. It was free. We booked our own food and brought it. The front is small. The bar is in the front. If you continue to walk to the back it is a larger area. The vibe is good. The people are real. Good conversation. THE PASSION FRUIT LONG ISLAND IS A MUST. 😜 Drink prices are great. Casual dress
Great drinks! Nice vibes! Better than the vault next door. Would be back again !!
