What People Are Saying About Lotus Cardroom and Cafe
The Editor

In Short – What once served as an unofficial home to hordes of hookers and pushers attracts mostly shiny, happy, college-aged people. Thanks to its high ceilings, serious-looking bar and vintage metal signs covering the walls, the Lotus' decor still radiates that tough Old Town feel. Check out this place on weekdays for its inexpensive food, full bar and beer, including a good selection of regional microbrews. Weekends get riotous here when DJs spin the dance tunes.

The Lotus Cardroom & Cafe
by frisssy
The Lotus is a great lunch time place to go. Fast service, Great food and great for the business man around the area. The are really bringing the service up, and they recently replaced all of the outdoor furniture. Really nice, and brings the par level up. I even heard from the service staff that they are changing up the menu with some great vegetarian items, and adding linnens to the tables. If you come in for lunch a reservation is recommended, if you want the fast in and out. Happy hour is great, with the 20+ to 30 something crowd. They have been doing some great promotions, espically the fish bowl satudays. What else can you ask for taking a girls night out and get a 64oz drink that everyone can share.....
- Pros: Great atmosphere, Service, & Staff
- Cons: Older motiff

Consistently good food and service
by cindycobb
I often stop by the Lotus for lunch and have never had a bad dining experience. When I am in a hurry, the wait staff is quick to bring my food & tab so that I can be on my way. When I want to eat at a more leisurely pace, the wait staff notices and does not pester with questions of desserts and to go boxes. My order has never been wrong or lost, and there is always something interesting on the specials board. Kepp up the good work - i'll be back with friends!
- Pros: consistently good food, service, cozy but not small
- Cons: a little dark

Fun ambience, great burgers!
by playgroundgirl
A great place for lunch -- provided you plan ahead to avoid the noon-1:00 rush. Good menu and wonderful burgers. I've been there several times in the past year and found the service to be inconsistent, better before and after the lunch rush. Prices are very fair.
- Pros: Good menu, fun ambience
- Cons: Street parking, inconsistent service, waiting line at lunchtime
