I came out in December for their Miracle pop-up in 2025…read more As someone who has gone to a ton of holiday cocktail bars and pop-ups over the last 10 years, Overlook Lodge's is probably the best I've ever been to. Be aware it will be FAST. Look at the order ahead of time if you're a picky eater/drinker. They run your appointment like clockwork, and you'll be in-and-out, gulping down cocktails, through the entire experience. Your two drinks are included (this year, anyway), and I'd honestly be surprised if you managed to have time for a third. Time zips by fast. That being said, because they do it this way, you essentially have constant service, there's "events" that happen at the end of your reservation time, (I don't want to spoil it, but cover your drink!), and then they kick you out. Service was friendly, though, and I saw the server make time to take group photos for all of the tables (including ours) with someone at the table's camera. (No bullshit "group photo" upsells here) It's kinda loud, though, and I wouldn't recommend this as a chill meet-up-and-socialize spot. (If you wanna talk, they have an addendum, Christmas-themed laid-back bar next door.) It's more of a "get blasted in the face by Christmas for an hour and then leave" experience. It's pretty loud, and talking can be a bit difficult over the music and constant interruptions (more drinks? Photos? Cute Christmas video montage?) But this works in its favor as it feels the most Christmas, over-the-top, and seasonal out of all the holiday bars I've ever been to. It also keeps it from feeling too crowded as reservations are required, so you for-sure have a seat and you don't have to stand forever in line to wait for drinks. I'd probably guesstimate that bar staff is making all of their seasonal drinks, constantly, and servers just pick one up to deliver. With the capacity in here, it would make sense. No idea what the bar is like the rest of the year; this is just a review for the Miracle pop-up which, again, is probably the best I've been to in the Midwest. Cincinnati, you're spoiled down here. (Sidenote, I was absolutely taken aback by their TV presentation on the wall. It's hard to describe, but it isn't just a projector showing a giant rectangle. It's specifically slotted into the holes in-between holiday decorations. Staff told me that had to hire special technicians to get it to show up that way and that's seriously a level of detail I am so amazed by.)

Love having Tela in the neighborhood! They are reliably delicious and a friendly spot to meet…read moreneighbors and friends. We stopped by recently for some takeout and were helped quickly at the bar. Our food came out in less than 10 minutes and the bartender was helpful and friendly while we waited. The patio was packed with people enjoying the nice weather! The parking lot in back is also a perk. We split the smash bros chickpea wrap, which was above average for a wrap but didn't make a huge impression. The menu said roasted tomatoes but the tomatoes to me seemed like just sliced Roma tomatoes. It held up and was great to go! I will note it does not come with a side and thus feels pretty expensive for the amount of food it is. The real hit was the pretzel nuggets. These have been on the menu for a while and stand the test of time. The garlic caramel is standout and the beer cheese is also delicious. We both commented we wanted to eat the extra sauce on its own at the end because it was so delicious. Tela is great to dine in or to go. With pickleball and great walking routes nearby, it's a great option to make a night of it in Wyoming! Highly recommend.

The staff are friendly and the owner is always working hard wiping tables and greeting guests. I love that the menu rotates seasonally, so there is always something new to try! Most recently, I got the Super Smash Bros wrap (chickpea salad). It's so good and healthy. I paired it with an order of the fresh cut fries. SO good. If you get fries, make sure to order the stone ground mustard aioli too. Perfect pair. Street parking is always super easy! Love eating on the covered patio.

The food was good, really enjoyed the fresh waffles and homestyle potatoes. The mimosas were pre-mixed which allowed for orange juice as the only selection. Given the price point, I would have rather they just charge about $10 more for admission and included a bottle of champagne that you could mix however you wanted. It took away from the brunch vibe drinking orange juice concentrate with a drop of champagne. The music was decent, but the DJ apparently wasn't satisfied people weren't dancing and told the crowd so. This place has all of the makings of an upscale lounge, but misses the mark nickel and diming patrons (ex. You have to pay for each drink individually and can't run a tab and are charged a 20% gratuity each time).

Most nights it feels like it's trying to be a nightclub with its insanely loud music and lighting. Others are that special room at restaurants for people's birthdays. To me it's insane that regular customers or just people coming in for the first time are met with someone at the door requiring they pay an entrance fee. There's a bar next door for that kinda thing. The service here is very hit and miss. Whether it's the fact that you see online it opens at 4pm but you get there at 5 and you can't enter because that's when they choose to mop the floors... or you get there around 11 at night and no one waits on you until you go and get them and even then they take their time to get you a hookah or coals or whatever. Finally the pricing is maddening. I'll attach a picture for the pricing which is also just in the pictures for this place but anyways. My first time going here was on a Sunday night. I got a regular bowl(nothing fancy) and then I got a refill of the same thing. Total was around 30. Pretty standard for most places. The next night I went was on a Wednesday night. I was made to pay 10 at the door for someone's bday party and I had to Venmo them instead of the normal way you pay at the end of the night(super sketch). At the end of that night I only had 1 bowl(nothing fancy again) and the price was 37 making that a total of 47.... The third night I went was a Sunday night. Like my first time going I was assuming that maybe it was a fluke for that Wednesday and maybe Sundays were better??? Anyways I only got one bowl again(same) and I had a cover at the door also of 15 for whatever reason... my bill for that 1 hookah on that night was 48 dollars... so a total of 63 dollars for one hookah. Not to mention they look at you and expect tip. Which is insane to me. The reasons I wrote what I wrote are to warn any newcomers. It's definitely a turn off to get taken advantage of at a place you want to come and either relax or enjoy yourself. You should have specific things you do as an establishment and not veer from it. Pricing should stay what it says in the menu and there definitely shouldn't be some stranger at the door getting grinded on asking you to pay a fee just for wanting to sit down. I will be posting this on google also because my experiences have been insane here. All three of my visits happened within two weeks. So anyone saying that prices change over time. Sorry but that's a bust. The main reason I still put two stars was because the food, drinks and hookah are great. Just everything else is wrong.
