   We were placed in a corner couldn’t see or hear, table was dirty upon arrival. Wasn’t the greatest of seats or time. Disappointed because I was a fan of this place.

   Place was awesome but servers for tables were extremely rude!

   Thank you for the 5-star rating and for sharing your feedback. We’re thrilled to hear you thought the place was awesome—but we’re genuinely sorry to learn that your experience with our service didn’t reflect the same. That’s not the standard we aim for, and we take comments like this seriously. If you’re open to it, we’d love to hear more details so we can follow up with our team and make sure every guest feels welcomed and well taken care of. We hope to have the chance to provide a smoother experience on your next visit!

   I was expecting a chill space with music .but what I got was a bar full of people in their 20’s .no room for slow dancing no room to walk or stand .luckily I made a reservation and we got a table but with the people standing in-front of us it was not romantic nor chill .just feel like a club . Drink were exceptional but not the ambiance

   Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we’re glad you enjoyed the cocktails and appreciated the quality of our drinks, we’re sorry to hear the ambiance didn’t match your expectations. Lazy Bird can definitely get lively—especially on weekends when the energy picks up with live music and a full house. We strive to balance that vibrancy with the charm of a speakeasy setting, but we understand that the atmosphere may not have felt as relaxed or romantic as you were hoping for during your visit. We truly appreciate your perspective, and we hope you’ll consider joining us again on a quieter evening when the vibe may be more in line with what you were looking for. If you would like to come back, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly!

   I reserved a table at the Lazy Bird for the Saturday evening knowing there was a band playing (Park n Ride). When we were shown to our table found it was positioned behind the standing area so couldn't see the band playing. It would make much more sense for the tables to be at the front and standing room behind.... We appreciated the table service as very busy, and the drinks were great.

   Thank you for joining us at Lazy Bird and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the drinks and appreciated the table service during a busy night. That said, we’re sorry to hear your view of the band was obstructed. We understand how important the full experience is, especially when live music is part of the evening. Your comments about the layout are noted and will be shared with our team as we continually work to improve our guest experience. We hope to welcome you back soon—please feel free to reach out ahead of your next visit, and we’ll do our best to accommodate a preferred spot.

   Such a unique vibe. Excellent (excellent) cocktails and the staff is top notch. Gets pretty busy, but they do a great job managing space. I feel like I was a bit late to the game on this one! Glad we fell upon it.

   Brought a friend who was visiting from out of town. He was so impressed by the atmosphere and said Lazy Bird will be a must-do every time he’s in town now.
   

   Lazy BirdResponded on April 15, 2025

   That’s so wonderful to hear—thank you! We’re honored that you chose to bring your friend by, and we’re thrilled he enjoyed the atmosphere. Can’t wait to welcome you both back next time he’s in town!

   Watch your credit card statements. Got charged for being a “no-show” and also for the drinks we purchased

    Great cocktails lounge. Great menu. And we were able to stay for the live band. Wish we could have stayed longer but reservations have a time limit. Even do, I had a great time.
