Executive Order Bar & Lounge

"This review should have been posted earlier! love love this place. I love the mysterious Illuminati/historical vibes it gives off. I love how kind and well informed the staff members are. The owner is also the sweetest guy ever. This is 5 star restaurant/bar!"

"HAPPY HOUR DAILY! Have to start off by saying there are very few places I've been to or heard of that do Filipino American fusion. Sick experience to walk in and see adobo-style wings and lumpia on the same menu with sliders, focaccia flat breads and mini-beignets. We found this place after our visit at the MOMA and walked there in maybe 8 minutes. The staff were extremely welcoming and kind people, and the bartenders gave great recommendations for drinks. One thing I always encourage my fellow non-picky drinkers is always order a drink at the bartender's creative freedom. I asked for a refreshing gin drink that was spirit forward and they gave me a delicious drink off the menu. Another cool thing about this bar is that they do happy hour DAILY including the weekends which is super sick. Rarely will you find places that do that. After you get your drinks and food you can enjoy the ambiance or go shoot pool by the Teddy Roosevelt corner which has a framed picture of him alongside what looks like a whiskey collection and some antlers and other various luxury american antique items. Do not be intimidated by how nice it is inside, you don't have to be dressed like an executive to enjoy some good food and drinks here! Items Pictured: Truffle Fries, Adobo-style wings, 1st Amendment cocktail (i think couldve been the War Hawk)"

"If you are still contemplating, this is your sign to book and come through! I had the best experience booking and hosting my partner’s 30th birthday party with about 35 guests altogether. The guests loved the food, drinks, music, and vibes!! Will definitely come by again soon. CHOOSING EXECUTIVE ORDER: One month prior to the event, I was searching for a venue that suited our needs for food, drinks, music, vibe, and pricing. I had been researching 20+ places including Executive Order, once I heard back from them with the details and options for my event, I knew they were the one! I had specific requirements that I wanted for this event and the owner was extremely helpful, open, and responsive to all of my inquiries. There was never a moment of uncertainty since he presented me with so many options for food/catering and beverages for that night that were clearly outlined in our email communications. Expectations could not have been more clearly outlined. AN UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT: From the initial event booking inquiry until even an hour after our space rental had ended, the staff were the most kind and attentive to our large group. The staff went above and beyond in checking in with me upon arrival one hour before our event and until one hour after the event. They had the space prepared for me more than one hour in advance and helped me setup! Truly grateful for their compassion and willingness to go above what was asked of them for that night. As the night began and guests arrived, they kept me updated with the status of the food coming out and the drink tab. They even helped me coordinate shots around the room to make a toast, light the birthday cake, and cut the beat for the music for us to sing happy birthday. A CLOSER LOOK INTO FOOD, DRINKS, MUSIC: FOOD: The food/catering was too easy to do - it is an excel sheet / google sheets! I strongly recommend the duck fat fries, buffalo wings, and sliders (turkey or chicken). All of it was a HIT. Guests ate it up and came asking me for more! DRINKS: The choice to opt into a pre-paid open bar was a no-brainer. All the guests had a great time ordering to their hearts desires and the bartenders were amazing in receiving all the guests and creating the drinks. Even though shots were the most popular, a few of the guests chose something off their drink menu which they told me was delicious as well. MUSIC: On the night of our event, there was a live DJ playing 90s hip-hop and R&B. The vibe was perfect for the scenery and the DJ was super supportive of our large group - taking requests and coordinating fade outs for us to have a celebratory moment filled with speeches, singing happy birthday, and cake blowing. And once our moment concluded, he played us out with a birthday banger, never missing a beat! Special thanks to John Eric, Dave, T, Ryan, DJ Mark, and the rest of the staff who made that a night to remember! I could not imagine the night going more smoothly."

"I had a reservation with friends around 10pm here on a Saturday. As we came in the music playing had nothing to do with the ambience and no one could even tell us where to sit or to go even with the reservation. The front man told us to talk to the manager behind the bar. We got menus but no one ever got to help us. We decided that the place was not worth the stay or the experience. Went to Bourbon and Branch after that to save the night that is why I only made this review 1am after leaving the bar. It was a very unpleasant experience. I will not come back"

"Last weekend, we had our 30th high school reunion at Executive Order Bar & Lounge, and it was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we started planning, John Eric the owner was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with. He understood our vision and helped us create a memorable evening for all. The ambiance of the lounge set the perfect tone for our reunion. It's both classy and comfortable, creating an environment where everyone felt at ease and ready to catch up with old friends. The lighting and decor added a special touch that made our photos look fantastic. The appetizers and drinks were outstanding, with a wide variety to please everyone. Each dish was delicious and beautifully presented. The drink selection was impressive, catering to all preferences with skillfully mixed beverages and they were served with a smile. The staff deserves a special mention. They were attentive, friendly, and professional, ensuring that our event ran smoothly from start to finish. Their service really made our night stress-free and even more enjoyable. In summary, Executive Order Bar & Lounge was the perfect choice for our reunion. Great food, amazing drinks, a wonderful staff, and an owner who goes above and beyond made our night unforgettable. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to host a special event!"
