The Scene – This modern space opens to an airy, lofty atrium dotted with subtle details. Dark-wood tables accent the comfortable apple-green suede couches, while plentiful recessed lighting ensures that the conspicuously single late-20s and 30s crowd looks its softly lit best. Don't miss the den-like atmosphere upstairs. The chocolate-brown walls, a waterfall pane and separate bar are the perfect backdrop for meeting new friends. The great sound system and lack of VIP area help reinforce a relaxed, but elegant, vibe. – – The Draw – It's easy to see why people return to…
Great Little Spot!
by MissM1920
I just had an event at People's Lounge and everything was perfect, the food, the cocktails and the service. This is a great little spot for dinner with friends, cocktails and definitely private events.
The owner is a class act !!!!
- Pros: Service is first rate
Cozy small place
by TardyKat
We celebrated a friend's birthday here recently. Dinner was a set menu of asian-influenced items which came out to about $30 per person. There was a lot of food and it was served family-style. We'd reserved the "lounge" area by the front windows in advance so after dinner, we congregated there. It's a good thing we did have our own space as the entire place got packed pretty quickly after about 11pm. It was nice to have our own uncrowded place as the entire place is quite small. It started to get hopping after midnight and there was hardly enough room to squeeze through to reach the restrooms at the back. There's a bouncer that started to ID everyone coming in after 10.30pm. The music ranged from current hip hop and R&B to 80s/90s mixes. The night we went was the coldest night in January and the heat was not working. However, after a few drinks and with the place sardine-packed, I didn't feel the cold at all.
- Pros: The set menu food was generous in quantity
- Cons: Small space, not enough space to freely move/dance
Found a pleasure from our random pick

12/05/08 - Walked in after 9pm without reservation. The interior design is simple, yet elegant. There were small crowded of young professional look hung by the bar. The dinner area layout is spacious. A very friendly host led us to a corner table. The menu offers variety entrees with very reasonable price. We ordered Salt & Pepper shrimp, Calamari, Chicken Satay and short ribs as entree. The shrimp was nice and tender, the calamari was perfect cooked, not chewing, the chicken satay was grilled perfectly and it came with a small bowl of salad...very healthy...but it doesn't come with dipping sauce?! But the entree was a little disappointment. The rib was overcooked. The servers provided an excellent service. I will go back again soon.
The Details on People Lounge
Look Good:
There's no official dress code, but the bar has standards--sneakers and jeans are fine, but athletic gear is frowned upon.
Know Before You Go:
Call at least a month ahead to book space for large private parties.
Food Served:
People Kitchen offers a complete dinner menu of Asian-infused cuisine, as well as a selection of late-night treats like chicken satay skewers and spring rolls. If that's not your style, there's plenty of cheap late-night eats in the area, including the ever-popular Rosario Pizza.
