We must have come on an off night. We had no service whatsoever, sat at two different tables and the bar and no one offered to get us drinks or anything. We waited 20 minutes before leaving. Incredibly disappointing as my husband was eager to try some craft beers. Bummer, won't be back.
Review Source:Beware. This one is going to burn! Went out on a Sunday night for Lodge Bar. Reviews sounded great. Good reputation in Barmuda Triangle. Looking forward to the different bar food and beer selection. Couldn't have been more of a disappointment.
It was around 7 and busy but we were prepared for a wait. Content to sit outside and drink until a table was ready. My sister and I walked in to find there was no hostess, no stand, no one even looking like they wanted to help you. I snagged a waitress. She apologized for no hostess and then said they didn't have a pager system. They would yell out your name, 45 minutes. Okay. Not a deal breaker.
Went back outside to join the guys. They went in and came out within 10 minutes with the first round of drinks. We sat contently until the guys went back for round two. And we waited...and waited. My sister goes in to check after about 20 minutes and says the table is ready. The guys had never even gotten to order the 2nd round. We hurry to our table.
Now, to be clear we said it was 4 adults and a high chair. (We couldn't foist my niece off on the grandparents for every meal and she's good in public. She's been to bars before.) We had a big booth and the high chair. Only problem? Booths are raised up about 4 inches or so. So, my little niece is eye level with the table. Clearly this isn't going to work. We sit for about 10 minutes when no server has come around. The booth behind us has been waiting longer and they get up and leave. When we realize that there is NO ONE working the floor and the 3 bartenders are failing to manage the bar that is 2-3 people deep, we walk out.
Unacceptable. As my facebook status said, as we were leaving...abysmal. We left and went to Marley's down the street and got great service.
Interesting place. The decor is kind of rough. They have a bar, booths, and tables with stools in the back near the pool tables and shuffleboard. We came on Monday night for the $3 craft beer specials. They have a pretty extensive list of craft beers. The menu is pretty basic. We ordered the caprese grilled cheeses and a bavarian pretezel. The pretzel was really good. I liked the grilled cheeses too. This place is not fancy. Its a good place to get a beer and a burger/sandwich with no frills.
Review Source:Outstanding beer selection! Â When you find something you like you can take home a growler for the next day. Â I enjoy the burgers and they have tater tots, enough said. Â The music can be loud at times but not a turnoff. Â Service is good. Â A great rustic chill place with excellent beer, must be a LODGE!
Review Source:We went there late night (Hard to find anywhere on Island that serves food after 9:30 or 10!!) Sat at bar.The bartenders were really nice & even though the kitchen was closing because we had tried 3 different places & it was now almost 10:30 They agreed to lake us a delicious dinner!. I got the homemade tasting grilled pimento cheese sandwich Never had anything like it before. Served on bread that tasted like it was fresh baked that day & the cheese had wonderful flavors There's a secret ingredient in there somewhere!, perfectly salty sweet! Delicious homemade chips/fries. My husband got a delicious mushroom cheeseburger. A hearty portion of perfectly cooked beef, covered in delicious melted provolone cheese. I had to try it- yes it tasted as good as it looked!! Tasted like they cooked it on a wood grill! Great bartenders. We stayed around & later they had in the courtyard free music!  Late night entertainment is Also Very hard to find. There are only a few places. This is one we would definitely  return & plan to over July 4th. I apologize I didn't get to take pics so will then!
~ (We also ate brunch at Hot Mamas, right across from Lodge) Is decorated in 1950 hot rod café style. Not terrible but the bbq -being from South I've had better! It was a bit fatty. Buffet was okay eggs tasted funny? Grits were wonderful That is mostly what I ate.My husband got something called a double fried chicken or something like that not crispy enough. They did have a free bloody mary or mimosa with buffet.  But not going to return will go to lodge instead!
I absolutely loved this place. It is a restaurant and bar with emphasis on the bar. Literally looks like a cozy modern lodge/wood cabin on the inside. They have a large selection of beers on tap including ciders. You can also buy select growlers to go. They have TVs, one or two pool tables and a Juke box.
The night my husband and I went we were on vacation in HHI. We sat at a booth and ordered some chicken wings which are actually made from One Hot Mama's across the plaza.
The waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable of their menu and beers. Very eager to make suggestions knowing we were out-of-towners.
I also had the  Parmesan Truffle Tater Tots. These were not what I expected. They were normal tater tots with a side of Parmesan Truffle Butter. Holy cow they were amazing. The truffle butter was creamy and rich.
They have a great selection of Burgers, Gourmet Grilled Cheeses and some other meaty BBQ options as well.
The only reason I did not give them 5 stars, is because towards the end of our meal our waiter seemed to kind of abandon us for a larger table celebrating a birthday. Luckily a different waiter saw we were sitting with empty glasses and picked up the slack.
We were there on a Monday night, and they started doing trivia around 9:30. We lingered a while to catch the first round. The trivia was fun, more pop trivia instead of middle east geography a lot of places dish out. Â The hubs and I were tied for second with another team when the final question came down to sports trivia which neither one of us give two flicks about. Prizes came in liquid form.
If this place was in my neighborhood it would definitely become a weekly staple.
Went on a Monday night and found they had $1 pasta (yes, $1!! Wished we didn't eat before coming!) and $3 pints. Â They have a nice micro brew selection, and all but a few of the drinks were included in the special. Â Nothing like getting a bill for 8 great pints of beer and having a $24 tab!
Also, Monday is trivia night and John runs a fun, fast paced game. Â He keeps it quick to avoid everyone looking up the answers on their phones. Â Probably would not have stayed so late, but we had such a good time playing trivia and interacting with the others who were playing at the bar.
Did not have the food, but nice workers, good beer and a laid back atmosphere make this a nice choice for a few drinks!
Laurel rocks it at the bar. Cool bar on 1 edge of "the triangle" as the locals call it. Across the street from ONE HOT MAMA'S and a Brew place we found ourselves nestled in a wooden lodge bar filled with t-shirt & flip flop locals. Tight-nit bar group w/ great customer service. Cheap drinks ( no food though ).
Review Source:I can only review this establishment and not the other bars/clubs within the "Barmuda Triangle." Â The reason being is that The Lodge is usually the first stop for the night, and it's usually a LONG stop. Â Then, around 1:30am I realize that I've stumbled into one of the other bars, which have more of a nightclub aura. Â Not that there's anything wrong with those places, but I can't give them an honest review. Â There may be black lights, and 50 Cent songs, and possibly wristbands. Â I don't know. Â I can't clearly recall.
Any-who...where was I? Â The Lodge...yeah this is a good first stop for the night. Â Lots of tasty tasty beers on tap. Â There might be a little taxidermy here and there. Â Tabletop shuffleboard, pool, etc. Â Never tried the food.
Around midnight you realize that the average age has dropped to about 19, and you're starting to get funny looks. Â That's when you start ordering the double RBV's and letting the kids know you're still at the top of your game. Â Hence the reason we end up zombie-ing over to the other places in a state of confusion an hour later.
We had a few dilemmas to work around:
We wanted to eat at a restaurant.
We have an infant who may or may not cry intermittently while we sit there.
So the place has to be loud enough not to piss other people off.
The food had to be decent and somewhat unique.
The beer had to be excellent.
We walked around the area and finally settled on this place when I saw their extensive beer menu ($3 beers on Monday? Yes please!) and the gourmet caprese grilled cheese they had on their menu.
And tator tots!
And fried mac and cheese!
My husband ordered something like meatloaf I think and we both cleaned our plates completely and downed a couple delicious brews all while enjoying a night out with our kid-- who didn't end up crying, btw. You never know, though, and even if he did, the people next to us wouldn't have known because it was a bit loud in there.
I also loved the open concept and how we sat inside but were able to enjoy having a very wide door (garage size) open next to us. Felt like we were enjoying the outdoors as well.
After having a terrible time at Hilton Head Brewing Company I was about to call it a night and head back to the hotel, completely disappointed in what the locals had referred to as "the Bar-muda Triangle, when I decided to give The Lodge a shot. I was greeted by one of the two bartenders even before I sat down, and not with the usual, "what can I get you", but with a genuine, "how are you doing tonight". Their beer selection is pretty sizable so as I pondered the list the bartender said, "if you tell me what you like I can steer you in the right direction." after choosing one of Brooklyn Breweries selections I asked for a menu, but was told the kitchen was closed for repairs. This was a deal breaker and as I was about to wonder off to a third Triangle location for food the bartender said he would get me a menu from the restaurant next door. Wow, that's service! Got some wings and stuck around for Levitator while the place started filling up. The bartender continued to interact with me and all of the other guests with the same level of interest and caring the entire time I was there. I can't recommend this place enough!
Review Source:The Lodge seems like a good place to stop for a beer in Hilton Head. I heard about it from a friend and was very excited to try it out.
First off we had a bit of trouble finding the place. It's in the Reilly Plaza complex with several other restaurants and bars, and if it's your first time, you may find you parked on the wrong end of the complex due to poor signage. It helps if you don't wait until after dark for your first visit!
Even though we were in town during peak season (July), our first visit was a little disappointing. The lodge is quite large, with plenty of tables and booths, but there were only about 8 other people aside from our group. By contrast, there were a ton of people (slightly older crowd however) across the way at One Hot Mama's.
Usually I like quiet bars; you can sit where you like, you get good service from the bartenders, and there are increased opportunities to strike up conversations with new people you meet. Unfortunately this wasn't to be as our bartender was borderline antisocial (I think she just didn't want to be there that day, we all have days like that) and nobody at the bar was talking much either. I loved getting my Sam Adams Summer in a growler to take home with me, but I just didn't feel that the place was that fun.
Gave The Lodge another try more recently and it was a step up. The guy behind the bar was a hoot and definitely hooked my girlfriend & I up on our shot orders. It still wasn't as busy as we expected but I think our proclivity for going out on "off" nights (avoid Weds-Sat basically) has something to do with that.
Overall we will probably visit The Lodge again but for a quiet beer to escape the kids or have a girl talk, not for some crazy fun "Night Out" type shenanigans.
Went to the lodge on a Friday night...hubby and I were in town and looking for something to do...we had some very good drinks at the bar and the juke box has a big selection. Â The bartenders were really friendly and helpful.. Â we were looking for a place to go dancing and right across from The Lodge is Hot Momma's who has dancing after the restaurant closes..since they are both owned by the same group, you can have a to go cup and walk back forth between establishments. Â Very fun time.
Review Source:Went to Hilton Head for one week (Sunday to Sunday) and somehow I became a 'regular' according to YELP at The Lodge, because I went twice within a week. Maybe YELP is trying to tell me something about my drinking habits....
Anywho. The Lodge is a bar located within the 'Bar-muda' area of the Reilly Plaza, which houses basically 4 restaurants (maybe 5?), which all have bars within them, WHICH all turn into a real bar scene at night, especially on the weekend. Once 10-10:30pm hit on Friday night, it seemed like quite the place to hang out for the younger crowd.
Besides the big younger crowd that came in on Friday night, The Lodge has all of these things:
-many booths to sit in
-a fake bear drinking a beer
-a million beers on tap (maybe 50 actually)
-$3 drafts of almost everything
-a fake weasel smoking
-nice bartenders
-pool tables and other games in the back
-a lot of tv's
How can you really go wrong? Once I saw Shiner on draft for $3, I could have been sitting in the parking lot and I would have given The Lodge five stars.
I've been here twice, and this is my kind of place! They have an AWESOME selection of beer and the bartenders are super friendly. The first time I was here was during a slower time of the year. This was great because we were able to have some great conversations with fellow beer drinkers because the music wasn't loud and the place wasn't very crowded.
The second time we went was in the midst of the tourist season and the music was so loud that it was hard to hear my friends from across the table. It was also really busy, but that's half the fun! The beer selection was still excellent during the summer--it was just what I wanted. If I could knock them down a half point for the loudness I would, but it definitely doesn't deserve a whole point.
In the fall they have some great dark beers (e.g., FOUNDERS!!!) so hopefully they will have the same great selection this upcoming fall. If you're looking for a comfortable and unpretentious place to have a great beer, this is it!
Went there on a Sunday evening and the bartender was more than helpful allowing my friend and I ample time to sample a variety of fantastic beer. Â Great place to pick up a Growler (64 oz. jug) of almost any of the above mentioned beer selections. Of course, the one beer I fell in love with, was unable to be taken home due to limited quantities. Â Oh well, second choice was just as good.
If you are a beer lover, take a few minutes out of you day to pop in and have some ice cold delicious beer!
We stopped in here on a Sunday night for a couple of beers. They have a good selection of really great beers.
Friendly bartender and typical bar atmosphere. Since it was Sunday night it was pretty slow.
For those looking for good beer on the Island I highly recommend this place. Their selection is better than any other place we went.
I went down here with friends who are locals and regulars so I don't know if my experiences there were typical for the tourist crowd. Â We had friendly bartenders making us pretty strong drinks. Â I can see how it could be considered "fratastic" as others said in earlier reviews, although at first we got glasses and then later they switched to plastic cups. Â Makes sense to me! Â After 4 or 5 patron shots you might drop something!
The bartender was funny also so that's always a plus!
This place is 'the place' to go on the island on Tuesday $3 martini nights...i've never experienced any plastic cups myself (in my many times here throughout the years), and the decor is very 'lodge-y', the crowd is a big ghetto these days, but worth coming for the $3 martinis! They arent strong, so if you're looking to get trashed, this may not be your place, and i certainly wouldnt come here looking for any great catches, but the drinks taste good (tres girly), and for $3 totally worth it! pooltables and tvs definitely give it a more laid back vibe, but i think theres a cute little fireplace that make it cozy at the same time...
side note, a bartender who worked here was shot a couple years ago during a fight or something, so the triangle bars are definitely getting quasi ghetto...be careful!
The Lodge is my kind of place.
Speaking purely subjectively, the atmosphere is great--and exactly what you would imagine from a place called "lodge"--a lot of wood, unpretentious, and the occasional display of taxidermy.
The prices are reasonable, and the folks are friendly. Â Plenty of pool tables, and even a shuffleboard table (which I believe someone mentioned). Â Someone also referred to the place as "fratastic," but I would have to disagree...just an unpretentious place to go hang out with friends. Â Can't go wrong with that.
The Lodge is also adjacently located to a couple other bars, so you always have the option to walk 30 feet or so and check out a few other establishments as well.
hmmmm. Don't believe the ads suggesting this place is sophisticated and classy. Â The Lodge is unabashedly FRATASTIC. Â
Your drink will be served in a plastic cup. Â You will not be able to avert your eyes from the flat screens (there are even flat screens set up outside on the deck). Â
Yes, they do have cigars. Â Yes, Tuesday night is $3 martini night (whoopee!) Â
This is your place if you love well dressed cute girls and their boorish and slovenly dressed dates.
Sorry, Meredith M. I looked for your panties to no avail.
