Baobab Lounge

We visited Baobab Lounge on Christmas night, and Azelia made our evening truly faboulus! She was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we sat down. ​What impressed us most was her deep knowledge of the menu. She took the time to ask about our favorite flavors and preferences, then curated the perfect recommendations for both me and my girlfriend. Every suggestion was spot on; the lamb meatballs and the dessert were both absolutely delicious. ​To top it off, the Smoked Old Fashioned was hands down the best I’ve ever had! It’s rare to find that level of personalized service and quality, especially on a busy holiday. If you’re at Baobab, definitely ask for Azelia.

Absolutely stunning African-inspired lounge with gorgeous interiors that set the mood instantly. The service was warm, Azalea was attentive,informative and genuinely friendly, and the drinks are crafted to perfection. Stylish, welcoming, and effortlessly cool — a must-visit.

Absolutely love this little bar inside of the JW. It’s a very unique experience! The drinks were amazing. It’s a great place to sit and relax and have some great, unique drinks and food. Definitely recommend if you’re walking around the river front area or staying nearby.

Great atmosphere and your lunch bartender was fantastic. He made some great food and drink recommendations, and it was a great start to our food and speakeasy crawl. I even came back this evening to order my husband a nightcap for the room, as we are staying in the hotel. Some feedback: the gal who is bartendending this evening could use a lesson in treating her coworkers with respect, and better customer service. Her attitude was off-putting.

After my third visit to Baobab, my feelings haven't changed. The African decor is out of this world and the flavors of the food and cocktails are impeccable! You can tell a lot of love and pride was poured into this space. Bravo!
