Medusa Lounge

This place is gorgeous- absolutely beautiful to look at. The decor is gothic but not in the black-hair-dye sense. The staff is incredibly helpful, which I experienced firsthand planning my birthday party there. I reserved an area for my friends to gather and we were treated exceptionally well.

The drinks were the usual Hollywood prices, the music was, well, strange, and the dance floor was fun once we had some drinks in us. This bar could use more bathrooms and a smoking area so people don't have to stand out front.

Valet parking is only $5, but two (TWO!) of my friends who valeted had their cars broken into. WATCH OUT.

I brought my sister here who lives out of town and I had never been here.
The place is easy to find due to the huge lions outside as well as red lit up medusa.
They had valet for $5, but about 10ft. over is a side street you can park on for free.
We got there about 10, it was quiet, relaxed, and a lot of seats were open.
The place is absolutely amazing with its never ending decor, with always something to talk of.
Whether it be the ginormous chandelier's, the stained glass windows, the beautiful details are really amazing.
Only one bathroom, which is always annoying when you have to wait in line for a one holer.
By 11:00 the place was hopping with the most incredible characters.
It felt like being in london, with a dash of hipster, a dash of normal, a dash of indie.
Most ladies were wearing dresses, but by no means do you feel strange just wearing jeans.
I can't believe how much the men were into fashion.
If you like to people watch, on a nice big couch with tufits, gargoyles above your head, awesome music that sounds like early 60's redone in a modern way, go here.
Go here just for the atmosphere, and to look at all the amazing things.
Good mixture of men and women.
The bartenders were all sweet, but by 11:00 there was a large line at the bar.
Be patient, be nice.
The only thing that sucked was we had friends meeting us there, who came later and they could not get in due to the huge line out the door and they weren't allowing anymore people in.
Thats when we paid our tab of 5 drinks,($40) and left for the night.
At least 3 more people got to get in!

are you for real? This restaurant is so beautiful and full of potential! The guy to girl ratio is 10 to 1. Too bad my girlfriend and I waited at the bar for 45 MINUTES to get a drink. The bartenders were all women. The one closest to us spent the entire time flirting with the guys and trying to sort out their credit slips. Everyone was complaining about the wait, it wasn't even that busy! The asian girl with the tramp stamp was so rude to everyone, men and women. She got my drink wrong twice because she walked away before I was finished ordering! It is very obvious that these bartenders have little or no experience, step it up a notch, medusa lounge and you will have something great!! Right now you are coming across as amateur, rude, and DIRTY!
The bald doorguy was very nice and apologetic. I will give this place 6 or so months before I even THINK of going back.

We have been to Medusa a few times now and we will continue to go there. We absolutely love that it is about 10 minutes away from our downtown apartment, the valet is only $5, we've always had either a table or the choice to sit at the bar. One downfall is that the menu isn't very big so you don't have a lot of choices, but if you go there enough, you'll find what you love (Sweet potato fries). They usually have a DJ late night on the weekend and usually play great music and a great mix. The cocktails are so much fun to try them all and find your go to drink (try The Blue Violet martini). We've never had a bad experience here and we'll continue to dine here or just come for the drinks!!!

It's off the beaten track and not the easiest to find, but once you get there it's completely worth it. The food is impeccable, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is amazing. I cannot for the life of me understand maybell's one star either. I had a glass of Pegase Merlot, and the pour was perfect. The only thing I can think of is that maybe maybell is not a normal wine drinker and therefore doesn't know that a wine glass shouldn't be filled to the brim. Not only does this place exude taste, style, and excellence, it's overall charm is something everyone should experience. But don't take my word for it -- go see for yourself!
