Editorial Review for Rain Lounge – by Karen Hudes
The Scene
Outside, the spray-painted mural incorporates palm trees, portraits and block-lettered tags. Inside, the mood is bachelor-pad-tiki, with a curvilinear flow to the room. Plush, chunky chairs, wicker tables, a chandelier with electric candles and a glittery lava lamp enhance the reinterpreted retro feel. Salsa on the speakers, sometimes accompanied by owner Bobby Bell's deft percussion on a martini shaker, is pitch perfect.
The Draw
With no lack of watering holes to choose from, Williamsburg's young guns have warmed to the bar and its backyard lined with gravel. Margaritas and somewhat steep house drinks, including a delicious raspberry white-chocolate martini (made with Stoli raspberry, Godiva white chocolate liqueur and Chambord), keep asses in the seats.

Its a nice little spot. I will stress LITTLE ... it can get very packed in there so consider yourself warned!!! I have been there sooo many times that Bobby (the owner) knows me and he's always kool. The bartenders (uhhh.. 1 in particular)... Man! I can watch him pour drinks aaaalll night long. The music is different on a nightly basis sooo some nights are better than others (for me). But's it a nice, friendly little place, and I always have an awesome time when i stop by.
