The drinks were affordable and strong, which was a definite plus. However, my main issue with The Lodge is the seating situation near the stage. If you're sitting in front, be prepared for people to stand directly in front of you during the drag show. I would've preferred if the drag queens, owner, or even security had stepped in to ask them to move. It was frustrating to have 6-foot-tall, 300-pound women completely block our view--especially after paying $18 per ticket. Also, watch out for this one wild white lady in a black shirt and floral shorts who acts invisible and blocks multiple people. If you ask her politely to move, she'll argue with you and even try to escalate things by telling you to "step outside" like she's about that life. Overall, for our first drag show, we had fun--but if you're going to enjoy the performance, be ready to be annoyed because no one there is enforcing basic courtesy or crowd control. Yes this is coming from the gorgeous black queen with the pink/purple hair

Looking for great house music, cheap drinks, and a small town vibe that still has a piece of metropolitan life? Go to the Lodge. The drag queens are fab and super sweet and all about the jello shots lol. My wife and I went and had a great time though it was sleepier than we remembered it. Fair warning it is located in an area that's very dark at night so be on high alert. If coming from Hagerstown it will be on your left, if Frederick your right.

It probably should be given a new Yelp page, both for the hotel and for the restaurant/bar. Like any major surgery, it takes a while to get back on your feet. the place changes every week. order at the counter, order at your table, order at the counter, order at both. The MBAs with "big big plans" advising the staff (mostly the previous staff) have left, and left the folks behind trying to implement style effects without the tools they really need. So, an early review that it has changed,and we don't know exactly what it will turn into. The murals are gone. Enjoy the pictures on the site while they last. OLD review: I hesitate to recommend this lest you come. it's a secret place, that is chill. happy hour prices are great. so, come, but not too often because I like it quiet. The folks who work here appear to be real people and have helped when I needed it and my employer was not able to. I've come long enought that I thought I should pay them the complement.

I wouldn't want to see a place like this go upscale, but it wouldn't be such a bad thing for the walls to get a fresh coat of paint, at least. My experience with the food was a little mixed. Loved the fresh, moist hushpuppies and the crab dip, but the tots themselves (crabby tots) were a little burnt. I ordered the coconut shrimp and while the flavors were delicious, the shrimp was kind of mushy. If I were to go back, I'd get scallops or crab cakes and crabby fries. The service was slow and I'm not sure why it took so long to get our fountain drinks when we first arrived, but we were there on Friday night so it may just have been a busy time. Our waitress was lovely and took good care of us, impressively remembering the order of each person in our party of 5.

However, there are no lights on the parking lot. I had the deep fried burger and haluski. The burger was really good. Nice flavor. The burger does not need any additives such as salt or pepper. For the haluski, the food was for take-out. Haluski needs to be eaten soon after being made... like french fries. My dumb fault for the delay in consumption.
