Welcome to The Louis Lounge!
From 5:00pm until 6:30pm every Thursday through Saturday, guests can enjoy bites, cocktails and live jazz music in the brand new Louis Lounge, a cozy nook on the second floor of Old Skool Cafe. In the pre-COVID world, the space had hosted the youth entertainers playing jazz music every evening. Now, the room has been converted into an ideal spot to catch up with a friend over a cocktail after a long year of drinking wine and beer at home.
During Happy Hour, all of Old Skool Cafe’s signature cocktails will be buy one, get one free!
