It's been YEARS since I was there last. They have totally remodeled the establishment. And did a really great job. Love the decor and the hooks under the bar for the Ladies purses is a plus. The drink prices are average and the music was really good. Another plus is that they have a table warmer for food. I must say, that this is SO important. I went to a birthday party about 3 years ago at another lounge, where the food wasn't keep warm. I could smell the food spoiling because they let it sit for hours. Those who eat it got sick. So kudos to Cookie, good looking out!!!

Came to support a friend that is a new bartender there. It's a cool place. Darts doesn't work but there's a bowling game machine that's pretty lit. Come for a nice drink and watch the game. Standard sports bar vibes. Good for a group of friends.

Very small. Drinks are basic which wouldn't be a bad thing if they weren't overpriced. They make you spend $20 to use your debit/credit card. There's only a seedy looking ATM there to get cash out. On Saturday night the music started out really good. But around 1:30am it started getting really bad. Parking is decent.

  • Erica Sims

Cookies is a beautiful cocktail lounge where you can go enjoy good music reasonable prices and good people and don't have to worry about anything. Everyone is so friendly and humble like family. It's nice to be able to go into a Clean Updated Establishment and don't have to worry about anything.

Over 35 bar. No young ones allowed. Cash only. If you are having a party there, you can bring food and things. Tell your guests to bring cash. There is an ATM in the corner. Parking is limited.

  • Keysha T

It was a very quite bar. Would be great place to have a somewhat upscaled party. The drinks were kinda pricey. I dont go out much so maybe its the going price. Overall good place for a night cap see as though it was only three people in there on a Friday night.

  • Norrise Moore

Great staff, extensive liquor selection, jukebox not restricted, DJ available for special events, flatscreens to watch games. Most importantly Cookie's has the coolest bunch of regulars that know how to have a good time.

  • Dr Derron Strickland PhD

I always have a great time whenever I go there. It's a little tight in there, but the DJ is on point and the bartender pours heavy. Great music and great drinks is what keeps me coming back in there.

  • Daryl Williams

I NEEDED a drink after the FUNERAL so I decided to STOP at Peaches and you had to be buzzed in because no YOUNG FOLKS. The place was low key good drinks with the right client Intel. I will return

  • Joyce Fondren

My Aunt and I visited there this past Saturday 10/12/19 and had a great time. Every Saturday they have a great Brunch for their customers and it's pretty tasty. See you all there next time.

  • April “too cool” F

Wonderful atmosphere- Classy Decor-Very hospitable bartenders and owner. Respectfully conscience regarding social distancing. I would recommend patronizing this establishment.

  • Candace W.

The crowd on Wednesday seems really nice. However their drinks cost as much or more than downtown prices. If I wanted to buy a $12 drink, I would hang out on Rush not 79th.

  • Siddiquy Monet

The ambiance is very nice. Music makes you dance. Drinks are priced right and poured right. Mask required and seating is spaced for social distancing. Had a great time!

  • Yolanda Chaney

Great lounge to go to to have a nice drink and chill with locals. Good time always. Can become a little crowded every now and then. Nice place to have private parties.
