I went with some friends and found it to be kinda empty early on which was expected for springfield. It is one of the newer clubs but the staff is upbeat, attractive and friendly! The music is really good and more electro than other places so i feel like it is more hip and gives of a new age vibe. Its really pretty on the inside and there is a lot of places to sit and dance and watch the cool videos on the screen. There are a lot of events, the night i went there were dancers and hola-hoopers which i hadn't seen in springfield before. Over all I would suggest it and would come again. Great bartenders and I love the drinks they are well learned and have great suggestions! overall nice place to bring a group and party.

Opening the door was like walking into a hole in the wall gay bar that only locals know about in a big city. Ethan, the bartender, was a doll! He was warm, welcoming, and beyond hospitable! We felt welcomed and like we were a part of the local family. The drinks are what you'd expect from your local watering hole - strong and well priced.

The moment I stepped into the stylish, contemporary lobby, I felt like I'd walked into a boutique hotel in SoHo. The design is chic, modern, and full of personality. I arrived early and was pleasantly surprised to get access to my room right away -- a spacious, beautifully appointed room on the fourth floor of the hotel's main building. (Tip: there's a second building across the alley in back, so if location matters to you, be sure to ask which one you're in.) My room was terrific -- upscale furnishings, high ceilings, and a bed so comfortable I wanted to bring it home with me. Great mattress, perfect pillows -- everything you hope for in a good night's sleep. As luck would have it, the hotel was celebrating its 10-year anniversary with a lobby reception just as I was heading out to a meeting. The place had a celebratory buzz. When I returned, I made a beeline to Vantage, the rooftop bar, for an Old Fashioned. They were out of Angel's Envy (my go-to), but the bartender made a solid one with Woodford Reserve. A quick evening shower made the rooftop a bit humid, so I headed downstairs to The Order, the hotel's lobby bar -- equally impressive, with a standout liquor selection and, yes, Angel's Envy in stock. Round two. The next morning, I hit their fitness room in the back building, followed by a run through downtown. Afterward, I grabbed a surprisingly good $10 breakfast burrito from the on-site café. My only real quibble: no complimentary coffee in the lobby. For a boutique hotel of this caliber, it's a small thing that would make a big difference. Overall, Hotel Vandivort delivered style, comfort, and a memorable experience. If you're heading to Springfield and want something with personality and polish -- stay here. Highly recommended.

After frequent visits to this bar, it feels like the staff doesn't want you there, ranging from…read morebeing cold and unfriendly to just outright ignoring you. The first couple of visits were decent, but the service eventually went plummeting downhill. The ambiance and food is good, and it seems like a very calm space, but it is overall not worth feeling unwelcome and out-of-place. There is a reason why typical nights at another laid-back, 21+ bar (Flea, Grad School, etc.) is packed with people, while Mudlounge is usually at medium capacity at best. The consistent amount of different events at Mudlounge may be a sign that the business may need these events to get people to come to the bar. Maybe Mudlounge would not need so many events if the environment and staff weren't so inhospitable. The only reason why I would choose to come to Mudlounge over another bar is the availability of food, but after my last visit I would rather just eat at a place like Picklemans or Greek Belly (restaraunts that are right next door) before going out to a bar. It seems that many negative reviews of this business echo my same sentiments, showing that this is a consistent issue patrons experience and not just a negative one off. It is unfortunate that a prime downtown spot is being taken up by a bar that lacks the typical Missouri charm and hospitality seen in other businesses.

I recently ventured into this contemporary establishment and what I say was really quite remarkable. As you walk in you are greeted by an small open dance floor directly in front of you.

Off to the left you find a step up with multiple couches to relax and enjoy the company of friends. I choose to go to the left. Immediately a cocktail waitress was there to take my order, gin and tonic, I didn't even need to as for a lime. It was brought promptly.
