When you walk into the Stand you can immediately tell it is a 4EG bar, and that is a good thing! 4EG does a fantastic job of making sure their establishments are clean, polished and that everyone has a good time.
When you walk in it feels a little strange because its a mixture of a club, a lounge, a bar, and there are also pool tables. I love all of the red accents and dim lighting the place is very sexy. Their drinks are super cheap and they always have great specials. We got the beer of the month for only $3 bucks and it was KONA. Really great.
I'm not the biggest fan of Mt. Lookout and the clientele here just wasn't my crowd. I probably wouldn't yell out let's all go to the Stand tonight, but it we happened to be in Mt. Lookout this would def be my first choice.
Upon arriving at The Stand on a recent Friday night, I was a little bit overwhelmed. The Stand has a lounge area in the front, with a small dance floor and a DJ playing very loud music, a pool table, a bar with televisions, and a back area that can apparently be rented out. So there was a lot going on. My friends and I grabbed drinks and posted up in the lounge area. We ended up getting pretty drunk fairly quickly (and cheaply) and had a good time.
I'm not really big on the bars in Mt. Lookout Square, but out of all of them, I've had the best time here. I hear that it's a good place to hit for happy hour, so I may have to check that out and see how different the atmosphere is on a weeknight.
Previously a bank, The Stand offers a neatly remodeled interior (with the infamous vault door in the scene) complete with pool table, dance floor, lounge area, etc. This bar/lounge offered a pretty good time, but the best part was the amazing prices for the drinks; they have some killer deals! The Stand offers a nice place to have a cocktail and unwind, especially for those within the area (or just had some bangin' sushi from across the street.)
