    TLDR; go here for good drinks This is an up and coming spot that will be a local staple in no time. It's easy to miss, between the target loading dock and chipotle, it's right off the Ave. The HBIC (lovingly) is a sweet woman who put a lot of thought into making a great spot for Jamaica to have. Janelle hooked us up with great drinks! Coco Winter Bliss is my absolute favorite but all of the drinks were well made and refreshing. You can't go wrong with the margaritas either! It's definitely a warm and calming vibe with a sort of industrial feel. Worth a visit for sure.

The place is a nice size and good for hookah. Don Julio, birthday's, and had a back area where you can smoke in peace. The crowd is fun and I have never seen anything violent occur like the other places in queens.

    Have you ever walked into a spot, a public venue, bar/pub/lounge/club and felt like you're home? I…read morekid you NOT. There's something special about Lovell's. 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.

    I've ordered from here at least 3 times and they've only gotten my order correct one time. Idk why…read morethey don't follow instructions and/or take the time to read customers' orders. Are they drinking on the job or something? Smh! Such a shame and a waste of time and money. I will continue to support small and black owned businesses, but unfortunately I won't be supporting this one any longer.

    My friend and I visited here on Friday at 6pm. It was pretty empty, only 2 other parties were in…read morethere. Took off a star cuz the service started off poor. There were two young ladies standing behind the bar but no one greeted us. We stood by the door for maybe 5 mins before we were acknowledged and asked if we wanted to sit a table or the bar. It took another 10 mins or so before WE had to ask for a menu. After that, the young lady that served us was good and personable. The ambiance in here is pretty chill. They had a DJ that played a good mix of music. They also have a bunch of games like jenga, giant uno, connect four etc. They have happy hour M-F 4-7pm. $5 shots, $8 rum punch and margaritas (+ $1 per flavor), and $10 L.I.T, $10 wings & fries and $12 shrimp & fries (+ $2 per flavor). Drinks: We did the margaritas which are $8 +$1 for flavors. We had the passion fruit, mango, and raspberry flavors. Passion fruit was my fave, mango was a tad bit sweet but when I asked the server to add a shot to fix it, she did. Food: we had the lemon pepper and buffalo wings and fries. The wings were good but the lemon pepper flavor was light and just sprinkled on. The crab legs were really good! It's cooked in a curry sauce, I just wished they actually served it in the sauce. I had to ask for melted butter. We weren't really hungry but from the few things I had, it seems their food is good. I would go back to try some more menu items.

    Bday Tings! Kicking…read moreoff my bday celebrations here on a Thursday which is Ladies Night. 10 out of 10!!!! The service, the food, the drinks & the vibes. Happy Hour is until 8pm. Half off select cocktails and appetizers. $7 margaritas, martinis and mojitos all night for Ladies Night. My friends and I had Churrasco skewers, truffle waffle fries, chicken quesadillas, Churrasco quesadillas, loaded waffle fries with shrimp and sweet chili wings. Everything was good! Nothing salty, mushy or lacking flavor. Hookah is $40, cash only and $25 for a refill. The hookah was smooth and long lasting. We really had a great time here. I'll definitely be back over the summer!

    Love! I came here…read morewith one of my close girlfriends and have to say it did not disappoint! I was not sure really what to expect. I was curious if this place was a restaurant, a bar, or a lounge. I would say this place is definitely a lounge. The vibe was great, very chill and unpretentious. The drinks were on point and the food was delicious! Their menu is more finger foods and decent bites if you plan to drink. I would like to see 1 or 2 more food menu items added but everything we had was very very good. We had the sampler and it was perfect for us. The DJ was everything! The music was so good. Old school early 2000's hip hop and r&b. But I hear on any given night, the music goes to the vibe of the crowd. The service was fantastic. We had everything we needed and the wait staff was attentive. I will absolutely be coming back here! They have great happy hour during the weekdays and a brunch I want to check out. 10/10 so far.
