It gets crowded fast and they play alot of trap and gangster music which isn't to my liking. I got excited when they played reggae and up beat hiphop/r&b. I also feel like it's "Rachet". It's still a cool spot but personally I don't like going in huge groups.

With spacious sections, affordable bottle packages and the best DJ with the tunes you are sure to have an amazing time! I loved the music selection with a mix of hip hop, reggae, reggaeton and afro beats which kept me dancing all night. Their kitchen is also open all night with a selection of bar bites. I just had dinner so I wasn't all that hungry and only ordered some wings.

Blend Lounge offers a pretty good experience overall. One of my best friends decided to celebrate…read moreher birthday @ BlendLounge on Dec 10th. I'm not sure how easy or hard it was to book a table as she did that on her own. We showed upon a little before 11:30pm and got in with no issues. It was about 5 of us and we all RSVP'd using their eventbrite link, which states all ladies free before 11:30pm. The establishment is quite modern - colored lights, a garden wall photo-op, and plush seating. Although its a large room, it was there were tables and section in almost every area, I didn't see the dance floor. We were immediately catered too upon arrival, but we received a terrible section. We were seated by the bar, right next to the bathroom and a speaker, which was behind a short wall/section. It looked like our section was an afterthought to take advantage of the empty space. We didn't complain but I wish they had given us a heads up that the entire section wasn't for us, we were technically only offered half the section. This became inconvenient when they split the section and offered it to another group. The couch seating only allowed 3 people to sit comfortably, if separating the tables. It was 5 people in my group, including me. 4 of us squished up on the couch, while I grabbed a stool/partition to sit on. One of the staff asked me to get up off the small stool so they could partition the tables. I simply responded "Well, where am I going to sit?" and she walked away with no response. Another staff ended up bringing a new partition. The group came over and it was so packed and uncomfortable. I guess the staff realized this and gave the group some options but eventually, they were moved. Another group ended up coming towards the end and it worked better since the party was in full swing and many of us were not sitting anymore. In addition to spacing, location was an issue. We were sitting next to the bathroom. Aside from the constant door opening, there was a line eventually and people would come over and boldly sit in our section, as if we weren't there and paid for our section. Very annoying. They need to work on that. Moving alone, the atmosphere was pretty good. The DJ played a great mix of hip-hop, R&B (including some 90s classics), dancehall, and soca. We were up and moving for most of the night. The crowd is a mix of maybe mid-20s all the way up to late 30s, so a nice variety. Dress code doesn't seem to be enforced, so I would take it lightly. I saw girls in winter boots and body suits, so take that as a guide lol. Staff are nice for the most part. They came over to our table with lights and sparklers to wish my friend a happy birthday; a very great touch for the occasion. We did not order from the bar as we had a bottle package - 2 bottles of alcohol, 1 bottle of champagne, and an appetizer. The 2 bottles of alcohol are specific to options they provide, anything not listed is an upcharge. We ended up paying the upcharge as the option we wanted wasn't available. The appetizers feature basic bar food. We opted for buffalo wings. I don't think they prepare them on the premises. They were kind of cold, but tasted alright. We also ordered hookah but I did not try it. Now, I just wanted to circle back to the layout of this place. Again, its a large room with multiple sections. My friend wanted to get on a dance floor and mingle a bit. When we walked thru the crowd trying to find the dance floor we realized, there was no dance floor. It's just tables and sections all around. People were hugging the wall, some empty space by the bar, and the walkway/area between the entrance and the section area, but there really isn't a place to dance. You're confined to dancing in your section or the empty space by the bar. Now I get that it's a lounge, but it gave more of a club vibe, so I was surprised that there wasn't an actual open dance floor. It seemed that perhaps what is or what has been the dance floor was the space where the free standing bar tables were. I'm guessing that's a way to get people to purchase sections (?) Overall, we had a good time. If I could give 3.5 stars I would. The highlights were the music and lively crowd, but the seating and location issues were unappealing. I'd return but I would not book a section. Not worth it at all.

The difference in vibe is pretty noticeable and not in a good way. The drinks are just okay. The bartenders are fine at their jobs, but not particularly personable or welcoming. If you're nearby, this place is tolerable during the daytime, but at night it becomes a different story. The biggest issue is the security. The bouncers come off as shady and randomly push a cover charge, even though there's nothing happening that justifies one especially for this neighborhood. No special event, no DJ worth mentioning, nothing that makes a cover make sense. Overall, it feels like a downgrade from what this place used to be. There are no better options nearby unfortunately.

The crowd is very energized dancing and sing with music. Food: the wings lemon pepper well done so good, the fried calamari crisp, the sliders cooked well. For the mains we had the honey glazed salmon with mash potato and the Philly cheese steak. The food is plenty and very filling to stratification. The food comes out freshly prepared and hot. Service: The service is very fast pace, with attentiveness to our needs. The service of the food is quick and cooked well. Ambiance: the location is in Forrest Hills main strip. The place is lounge with music, chilled with a flare of color. The lights are dimmed setting with couples seating and group. My overall score 4.9/5.0 very good bar and lounge for a nice chill or weekend outtin

I walked in and felt so much positive energy. I cannot explain it. It wasn't crowded but those who were there were enjoying themselves judging by the interactions and dancing I saw. Bouncer (walk with your IDs as it's over twenty one only), patrons, coat check guy, the owner (who had a genuine warmth about her), the DJ that knows his shxt everyone that I interacted with.... amazing vibes! LGL looked cute. The red light, along with the little Island plaques and message on their T-shirts with positive affirmations lends some charm. Their tag "come feel the vibe" is no joke. Their vibe is amazingly irie! Why haven't I been here before?!? The cute male bartender Terryl, I let him know he's mine. Clarification, my server for the evening. He was very accomodating. I was well taken care of. There is food available and the menu sounds Caribbean yummy but I didn't try any on this visit. The crowd demographic is twenty-something to sixty-something and no one felt or looked out of place. Thinking about an evening reminiscent of a Caribbean hangout? I urge you to give Lovell's a try. I. Will. Be. Back. Again and again and again. The End.

To the new owners many blessings and maintaining the greatness to what the place has become. Dont forget the lady killer hookah.

Walked in with my date and the entire place was EMPTY. The first thing the waitress asked was…read morewhether we had a reservation. I told her no, considering there wasn't a single other customer there, I didn't think one would be necessary. She then proceeded to seat the two of us at the smallest table in the restaurant. I asked if we could sit on one of the couches and was told she had to "check for reservations." Again, the place was completely empty. After waiting a few minutes, she finally moved us. I then asked if we could have some water while we looked over the menu. She brought ONE Poland Spring bottle and ONE cup... for two people. (I've never witnessed this before) The menu says fries or salad, we never got asked for a choice. From there, the service only got more frustrating. Two different waitresses kept coming to our table seemingly every four minutes, one after the other, giving us absolutely no time to relax, talk, or enjoy the date , all while the entire restaurant remained empty. The whole experience felt unwelcoming, disorganized, and unnecessarily uncomfortable. When a restaurant has virtually no customers, you would expect the service to be more attentive and accommodating, not worse. Drinks are $18 as if it's Manhattan! Smh - Unfortunately, the service completely ruined the experience...

This place deserves 10 STARS!!! I'm very big on hookah and…read morethis place has me coming back over and over!! (Every Weekend, to be exact LOL) The vibes are super chill with good music. The prices are very reasonable. The staff is very attentive. The decor is extremely unique and sets the tone. What more can you ask for? Small tip, don't forget to bring CASH, it's a cash only spot! (But they do have an ATM if you do happen to forget to listen to my review lol) Most importantly you don't have to keep flagging down the employees to ask to exchange the coal for your hookah. (And they don't charge for coal refills). God, I can't tell you how much of a difference that makes in your hookah experience!! They always make their rounds to every table to exchange coals before you can even notice that you need it. Make sure to order your hookah with an "ICE PACK"!! It makes all the difference!! That cool fresh hookah is not harsh on your throat and you can go on smoking it for a long period of time. The pull is much smoother too, just trust me on this one, you will thank me later ;) You won't regret coming to experience this hookah spot even if you have to go out of your way to get there. It's worth it!
