From the name, I definitely expected a more hipster restaurant but it was very far from that lol. Certainly not a place you'd enjoy a nice glass of wine. This is a bar first, so expect locals at the bar chatting with the staff. They are not waiters and from what I understand, the food comes from a food truck in the back. You sit wherever, order from a QR code and one of the bartenders brings your food. There is a water cooler for self serve water, and two single person bathrooms. The place was kind of clean, but could use some updating. All of the food is greasy bar food. Fried food and burgers. They have an assortment of domestic beers, thc drinks, and liquor. I ordered chicken tex mex eggrolls and fried pickles. My friends got a patty melt, burger, brussels sprouts, and tater tots. Be advised, anything cooked is done so in beef tallow! Not for vegetarians or vegans although i think there was a salad on the menu. The food was okay, no complaints really, it just wasn't what I would normally like to eat. If you like bar food, I think you would really enjoy this place! The staff was friendly, no complaints there either. I would not likely return here - during my next round of dress shopping, i'll probably leave the area to eat.

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.)

Excellent place for my family. P.S. the Kenwood salad, enchiladas, fish sandwich, and margherita salad add prosciutto are some of my favorites!

They don't give anything out like numbers but a device that looks like you would get when you are on a wait list and the lights would go off. Well to my surprise they use it for your table location which they bought my fries out first and dropped them off at the table. The food came out shortly after that. Everything was good and surprisingly barramuñdi filet was delicious. Never had it before. The first with the aioli was good and the wife enjoyed the pizza.

Fairly priced for sure, and I'll likely come back for another. One thing that did throw me off was that the server brought me a draft beer when I had asked for a bottle. I expected better there, especially since the place was not busy at all. I still drank it and moved on. Outside of that, charging full price for soda water is pretty ridiculous, but I'll give you a pass on that poor business practice. Maybe the server was new or making up her own rules. Overall though, the burger alone will probably bring me back since you comfortable seating.

We visited on a rainy Friday night, when we got there it wasn't too busy, but by the time we left it was almost full. It's a pretty small space.
