I was so excited to visit Lemon Drop and I wasn’t disappointed! I had the Jane Bond (delicious and I don’t even like gin,) and a lemon drop. Both good! Had the lemon pepper wings. The rub was heavy but yummy. Atmosphere: it was dark, trim...Read More

Love Lemon Drop! Came here after a long day at work and the bartender Brandon hooked it up with good drinks, music, and vibes. But the star of the show here is the food, there’s a hidden gem in the kitchen. The lemon pepper wings...Read More

Here for the chill, groovy ambiance. Good for dates and small groups with tables, booths, and outdoor seats. Good menu variety of bar food - tuna tartare, popcorn chicken - they were pretty big, shareable for the table. Drinks are great - a dozen cocktails...Read More

Tasty drinks and a cozy ambience. Will definitely be coming back. I had Belle's last dance, it was light and refreshing. Everyone else in my party enjoyed their drinks as well. We came by around 10pm on Saturday. Not too busy, we had no issue finding a...Read More

Cool, aesthetic bar to grab a drink solo or with others! There is plenty of bar seating and couches, and you get to seat yourself, which makes for a comfortable experience of your choice. The drinks are reasonably priced for the quality, and I like...Read More

I love this place! I went for the first time today and my two friends were both 30 minutes late. As I awkwardly sat there by myself, various various staff members sat down with me as if we had been long time friends. When my...Read More

What an experience! Honestly they should be changing y'all twice as much. Everything we ordered blew our minds. The chicken was the best fried chicken I've had since I moved here from Atlanta. The cocktails are complex and crushable. Malik, Honey, Robbie, Cody Thank...Read More

Incredible refresh on what once was a very sad local haunt where old timers would go and get sloppy on a weeknight. The revitalized space seems to foster more connection via cozy fire pits out front and comfortable “stay a while” seating …

Went in the evening and sat outside by one of the fire pits -- lovely atmosphere, including the building itself. Drink menu is refreshingly clear about what ingredients and how much are in each drink and there's an image of each drink right there.
