SO Lounge

Chris is very friendly quick to fix your order up, and they carry sake which is I personally enjoy. Didn’t know about it until my brother introduced me to it. Prices are modest. Good jukebox. Very clean restrooms.

Oh yes, I love everything sake and this is the only place I’ve seen that devotes time and space to the very fun and versatile rice wine. In all sorts of flavors for just $ 2.50. Or in a saketini (OMG I LOVE THOSE) and a similarly astonishing low price.
I came during the freak winter storm we had in April, which might explain why it was empty on a Saturday night, with the DJ repping Virgin Islands and bumping some great dance tunes. It’s in a strip mall, but easily feels as though it could be a packed little night club when the elements are more favorable.
Lights are low, seating is sparse… after the first 15 people or so, I’d imagine it’d be standing room only, with no patio. There are also a couple of TVs and a couple of pool tables if you want to treat this as a generic sports bar. I wish they’d toss the one in the back in favor of more couch seating and just make it a lounge.
I feel like if you put this bar in a different part of town, there’d be a line out the door, but no one ever thinks «let’s go to 59^th ave & Peoria!» when they wanna turn up, so it’s a total mystery when the best time to stumble in is. The aesthetics are much more urban than what you’d expect as well, betraying its vanilla surroundings.
While it doesn’t utilize limited space as well as it could, I genuinely believe this is a gem in the rough, which I’ll certainly return to. My greatest concern is that people won’t realize how cool SO is until it’s too late. :-o

Tonight, came here blind and Chris took care of us. Great spot. Come enjoy this awesome spot!

Super chill bar. Dim lighting and music… Sometimes live music. Definitely worth checking out if you want a place to go.

Not the greatest bar in the world. They have one pool table with broken pool sticks. The owner is chill and its a great place just to stop n get a beer after work.

I’m from out of town and was bored so I went out for a drink. Wasn’t expecting much since it was a Monday night. I stopped at 3 different bars before coming here.
Most of which were good in there own right but I felt most welcome and at home at SO Lounge. Mostly thanks to the owner/​bartender Chris (female). And the locals there were also friendly and welcoming.
Not a sports bar but if your looking for a chill friendly place to have a drink this is the place.

Nice clean new place with a great owner. Chris is quick to make you feel at home and is new so is really great about getting in what the quests want.
Have nascar on Sundays with beer specials, bloody sake bar and food specials.
