    decided to try the down low after seeing it on TikTok. The vibe is very moody. Our waiter was very attentive. We ordered the caesar salad and hot honey mozzarella sticks to start. The mozzarella sticks were honestly amazing. The caesar salad was decent. My fiancé got the Smashburger and I got the deep dish cheese pizza. Our apps came out quick, but the food was taking a bit longer. We were patient and our waiter definitely noticed so he brought over a free drink for me which I appreciated. my fiancé said the burger was just ok. I really enjoyed my pizza! Overall I think this place is solid. We wouldn't rush back but we would try it again eventually.

    Wanted to love this place since we live close by, but had just an okay experience. Although the host was nice, their estimates were way off and we ended up waiting 45 mins for a table that was supposed to be ready in 15. It's trying to go for a speakeasy vibe but didn't quite hit it, and the DJ was really loud. The cocktails were pretty good. For food we liked the mushroom and arugula white pizza and the pepperoni and hot honey pizza - everything else was average. Downtown prices but in Woburn. The "jumbo" wings were just wings for $17. The "longest hand cut mozzarella sticks on earth" are just 4 regular size rectangular mozzarella sticks. Lots of marketing hyperbole on the menu. Overall it was alright, but not really worth going out of your way.

    Located downstairs at the Brickyard in Woburn, The Down Low is a speakeasy cocktail bar which offers an intimate atmosphere with seating at the bar, high top table seating, regular table seating and plush booths. They also offer live entertainment and karaoke on certain nights. They offers a selection of signature cocktails & mocktails, plus 12 draft beers, beer cans/bottles, wine, and mixed drinks. They also offer a small food menu with a selection of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, burgers, tacos, pizzas, and desserts, which was prepared by the Brickyard. I stopped by The Down Low for a drink and some food after spending the afternoon in Boston. I took a seat up at the bar and was given a drink menu and food menu. I started out with a Golden Echo ($8 plus tax) which had a mix of pineapple juice, ginger syrup, fresh lime, sparkling water, citrus twist & ice. This zero proof drink was a good refreshing start. For food, I ordered the DL Chicken Parm ($17 plus tax) which was a huge panko crusted chicken breast with melted mozzarella, pecorino romano, marinara sauce on a soft bun, served with seasoned crisp waffle fries. The tender chicken cutlet was bigger than the bun and I really enjoyed this Italian American classic on a bun. After I was done, the bartender gave me a dessert menu to look at which had tiramisu, cheesecake, mini cannolis, and sundaes. I went with the Toffee Brownie Skillet Sundae ($10 plus tax) which had a warm fudge brownie, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a scoop of chocolate ice cream, topped with whipped cream, hot fudge, and crunchy toffee pieces, a good ending to my dinner. The check was presented which was $37.45 with tax and before tip. Overall, The Down Low seems like a neat place to go to chill out and relax. The service was very good with two bartenders taking care of things and keep my water glass full as I enjoyed my other drink through the meal. The food was tasty and very filling too. I also went back upstairs to the Brickyard afterwards to catch some football playoff action on the TVs.

    Came here for a date night this Saturday night and was not disappointed. I kept hearing about this place, I've been to Brickyard Hollow before and had no idea this place was beneath. Amazing ambiance, dark and moody, I did question if I was cool enough to be in there. I made a reservation which I would highly recommend, place is small so want to secure that table. It's an intimate place, would not recommend coming with a large group, some tables looked like they could sit up 6ish but it's definitely more of a date spot. Service was excellent, our waiter made lots of recommendations which were very appreciated. Cocktails are definitely the star here, we got the soul reviver, the gimlet, and the espresso martini. All of the drinks were very well executed, not too boozy and no headaches the next day. Food definitely takes a back seat here, menu is approachable and well done, but nothing too daring. I loved the Caesar salad, the mozzarella sticks were solid as well. I'm very biased since Detroit style pizza is my favorite as it is, but they serve some awesome pizza. We got the Supremes pizza which had buttery crust and decent amount of cheese. They had a band setting up just as we were leaving which was sad to miss, guess we will have to go back at a later time to catch the band. Awesome spot, very happy it exists near me.

    Came here for Nik's birthday and we got the golden honey boneless spare ribs and grand sushi and…read moresashimi platter to share between 3 adults. It was very grand and decadent. The spare ribs were tasty and I think they had some truffle oil. The sushi and sashimi was very fresh. The chefs provided 3-6 pieces of sashimi/sushi/nigiri of each type of fish so we could do our own tasty menu together. Our sushi boat came with the seared hamachi make + caviar roll which was really good. I would definitly order that again. The prices can be expensive, but the sushi is fresh and worth it for special occassions!

Yesterday the food came out at a good pace, but sometimes it comes out all at once and is overwhelming. The waiters are always so nice.

The service was top notch and the food was cooked nicely. Our table had the chicken parm, chicken broccoli alfredo and scallops and everyone mostly enjoyed their meals. The reason for 4 stars is the scallops were supposed to be served over mush vellutata drizzled with basil oil and they were served on plain mashed potatoes. They did not tell us about this substitution and we ordered 2 of them. This was disappointing as it was a factor for why I chose to order the dish and I did not finish my meal. Additionally they have a profiterole on their dessert menu I was excited to try and that is no longer available. I'd encourage the restaurant to be more proactive about letting diners know of substitutions during the ordering process and to update their online menu.

Interesting local beer on tap and other local sourced drinks. The food however, was disappointing. Chicken and Waffles: waffles were incredibly sweet. Like dessert sweet. Made worse by hot honey topping and a sweet breading on the chicken. First bites were good but you get over sweeted pretty quick. OG chicken sandwich was so, so, dry. Same very sweet fried chicken, dry slaw that didn't add any flavor, a few pickles that helped a bit, but no real flavor. The chicken (on the waffles too) was hammered...fried till super dry. Comes with a side of potato chips but they weren't hot or seasoned. The big pretzel app was good. Beer cheese was ok, honey mustard was better. Sorry we didn't enjoy ourselves more. Nice people and very good service.
