    Stopped into this place on a Sunday evening while doing a little road trip by myself. The exterior…read morereminded me of one of the better dive-bars in Philly (that's where I'm from)--homey and comfortable. Andy, the bartender and maybe owner, was very relaxed and friendly. If I recall, we even shared the same birthday. Place itself had a cool bunker vibe, very underground. Big brick walls, almost claustrophobic with small little rooms housing pool tables and a beautiful fireplace, which I'm sure would be cozy as fuck throughout some cold winter months. The infrastructure reminded me of an underground club in NY called Basement, which is the basement of an old glass mill. The locals (Patty in particular) were as friendly and amicable as possible. I told them I was from Philly, and we talked a little about politics. I was a bit worried that I'd be seen as an outsider, but those worries subsided after they bought me a drink. Shame I had to hit the road so quickly (six hour drive ahead of me). In the wake of the election and the shit show that is the U.S. culture-wars, I think we found a moment of kinship in each other's company. I wish more moments in life could be like my experience at Mid-Town Lounge.

    First time in the bar, and I'm a young buck lol But love the vibe!! Good people good drinks, decent…read moreprices.. only thing is that it's hard to find the entrance at first.. lmao but definitely will be back. Don't let the outside fool you kinda looks sketchy and underground but they make sure your safe and have fun!

    Recommend to us by the folks who own the house we rented, we had never even heard of this place in…read moreOakland. And we've been to Oakland & Deep Creek annually for around 20 years! We arrived around 5:30 on a busy Thursday night. It's not a big place, and there were already 2 tables of 6+ people & several tables of 2-4. We actually got the last available table. It's worth the wait, but there was a long wait. I think there was only one person in the kitchen and they really had a hard time getting all the orders out for the two large group tables. However, our server was friendly and efficient, considering it was just her and one other server, waiting on everyone and doing the bartending. She replenished water often and got me a new beer whenever I needed one. She got our appetizer of onion petals out quickly, but then it was over an hour wait for our other food. We were a little disappointed that they were out of the pork rinds and they were also out of the elk burger tonight which were of the things we were looking forward to trying. The onion petals were very good. They did have elk sliders so my husband ordered those. We enjoyed them, more flavorful & not gamey like venison. I ordered a patty melt since I had not had one of those in ages. By the time our food arrived the bar was also full, but by now it was going on 7pm. So, we did enjoy our visit & liked all the food & we'd eat there again. Others would have been obviously bothered by the long wait for the food, but we were on vacation and we were not in a hurry. Despite being super busy our server was kind & didn't seem stressed out.
