BarFly's Review of Vintage Cocktail Lounge

Despite its name, this newly-vinted lounge – a satellite of the Observatory’s gravitational pull upon the neighborhood – appeared less than a year ago near the burgeoning heart of the Montavilla neighborhood.

The $8 drinks are perhaps pricier than their neighborhood counterparts, but are offset by a wide selection of low brow brews and tight-budget tinctures.

Dark wood and red vinyl swank up the low rent corpuscles of the Vintage while crafty ‘tenders ply their trade before the ever-watchful eyes of customers seemingly, bizarrely more concerned with means than ends. 

Lost among the new craze for signature concoctions seems to be an over-attention to that vaguest of crafts – muddling fruit’s not the same as filleting ahi, collecting bitters is as exactly rewarding as it sounds, and would you let an opponent use ‘mixology’ during Scrabble? 

Unpretentiousness, comfort, and approachability are indelicately infused the VCL’s cocktail culture, singularly prized for the discipline that style demands and the acquired tastes that addiction bestows, but liquor’s effects have a way of evening everything out.

Tasting "flights" of select booze inventory is offered in 3 small shot sized wine glasses. Full menu available all hours.

Open 5pm-2:30am daily.

My husband and I purchsed the living social coupon for Vintage Cocktail. It sounded like a cool place so we thought we would give it a try. The atmosphere was great and the drinks rocked! Nice to get finally get a strong drink . We will most definately go back.

Thanks Vintage Cocktail!

Awesome

This place rocks. From the outside it looks like it could be pretty snobbish, but on the inside, the bartenders are the complete opposite. I recently went to Branch and wasn't a fan, the atmosphere was too stale there. I hit up Vintage a few weeks later and it was what I was looking for: great drinks, friendly/knowledgeable/goofy bartenders, and decent ambiance. Their oly/shot special hit the spot :)

What You Think:

Yes, these CAPTCHAs suck, but they are a necessary evil. Typing the words you see below proves you are a human.

Before hitting that submit button, we highly suggest you read the following guidelines:

  1. Owners/Managers/Employees: Do not shill for yourself or bad mouth competitors because we WILL catch you. We have been known to "out" repeat violators. Simply identify yourself as the owner/employee/manager to address our users's complaints. Trust us, it works to do it that way. It is great PR, our users love it, we love it, and your business will love it.

    Also, please do not use the review system to update your bar's listing. Instead, fill out this form

  2. ALL CAPS does not get get your point across, but it does make you look completely stupid. The button on your keyboard is clearly labeled CapsLock. Move your pinky 5/16ths of an inch and turn it off.

  3. Mockery is cool, libel isn't. Learn the difference. Naming names in a negative or totally false review? You forfeit your right to privacy and will be named if any legal issues arise.

  4. Were you 86ed for being a complete douchebag? Are you the perpetually unsatisfied bitch? The bartender's psycho ex? Are you copy & pasting the same review from/to Yelp, Citysearch, etc? Then you undermine the value of user reviews. Don't waste your time posting.
