Editorial Review for Bungalow Loungebar – by Robyn Galbos
The Scene
"Sophisticated" and "cozy" are two words that alternately come to mind as you step into this urbane lounge. The decor is decidedly modern, but it's nowhere near sterile: A central fireplace, soft amber lighting and flickering votive candles give a warm glow to the room. The marriage of dark wood, burnt-umber walls and Prairie-style design adds to the homey feel. Semicircular booths provide cozy nooks for quiet conversation, while oversized bar stools provide a perfect perch for regulars requiring less intimacy.
The Draw
The lounge lures an attractive, unpretentious crowd from the neighborhood on weekend nights. The well-rounded drink menu offers more than 20 wines available by the glass or bottle, and several specialty drinks, like the "Bungalow Blonde"--a martini made with vodka, limoncello and sweet and sour. Thirty or so beers--bottles and draft--are also available.

Insider Tips
ParkingForget public transportation--the lounge actually has parking, thanks to a city-owned lot behind the building.

Not worth the time or money. The servers and bartenders act as if they are doing you a favor by asking you your order.
Pros: Lots of parking, because no one goes there
Cons: Price, rude staff, weak drinks

Great decor, great location, parking available all over neighborhood. Fantastic crowd! Easily assessible to transportation. One problem is the over priced bar menu, $7 jack and coke that has practically no Jack and is in a 12oz glass. Wine is reasonably priced and so are the beers, but mixed drinks are terribly priced and they have little liquour in them. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of other Belmont areas the Bungalow Loungebar is the place to be any night of the week.
Pros: trendy, good music, great parking in area
Cons: over priced mixed drinks!
