Shady Grove Lounge

"I am so happy we went to this one for the Christmas season because it was very simple, not crowded at all and there were not a lot of people. It was located at Silverton Casino and nicely decorated. The drink I had was so delicious that it was the only drink I wanted and they even put a cute decoration on top of it which was of course edible. There were a lot of photo opps available and it was just nice to do something with Christmas and drinks. No extra fees or anything."

"DO NOT GET THE “BAD ELF” EXPERIENCE. The bar wast properly stocked, the staff didnt know how to make the holiday drinks, the management was non-existent which is probably why the bar staff was so bad at basically everything. Unless it was getting you a water or a bottled beer. One of the bar tending staff named Gustavo was personable but frazzled and the other greasy haired gentleman was to busy tucking his hair behind his ears to even look around at the rest of the bar, who were all waiting for there order to either be taken or received. Stay away from this place."

"I attended the Cider Fest in October 2023, drawn by the allure of this event. Upon arrival, I discovered a modest selection of four ciders available for tasting. Among them, the strawberry cider from Sweden stood out as a personal favorite. Its delightful resemblance to juice and exquisite taste left a lasting impression. I highly recommend giving it a try! However, I must admit that I had hoped for a more extensive range of activities for an event labeled as a festival. In reality, it was more of a casual opportunity to sample seasonal menu offerings rather than a grand celebration as the name suggests. Nonetheless, the venue itself exuded charm, with its decor changing according to the holiday. The service provided was exceptionally friendly and efficient. Prices were average and reasonable, and ambience was chill and welcoming."

"This place does a really cool Christmas pop up called bad elf! Super fun and while you’re having your Christmas cocktails, you can play a little game. Once you solve their game or puzzle, you can enter to win a lottery type thing! You also get a free glass for buying the package! Super fun! It’s also decorated really fun! Try to find all the elves! Also, the bartender was super helpful, very nice, and very fast! Can’t wait to go again next year during Christmas!"
