Grotto Lounge
EDITORIAL REVIEW
Open 24 hours, seven days, the Grotto Lounge is a hidden hole-in-the-wall serving sandwiches, prime rib and lobster. Kitchen is open from 11am-4am. Meal prices average between $15 and $20 dollars. The atmosphere is friendly and conducive to late-night drinking.
The Grotto caters a good bit towards the casino crowd and dedicates several nights to dancing and DJ house music. Also several TVs are available, including a 60-inch-screen TV, all of which are usually showing sports. (American Express, Diners Club, Discovery, MasterCard and Visa accepted).
USER REVIEWS OF GROTTO LOUNGE
Great Atmosphere once you ditch the Zeros 10.0 Stars
One magical night me and my three friends drove to AC after the Locust Bar bar in philly called last call. I had 34 dollars in my pocket and after some bad luck at the Taj Mahal, we ended up at the infamous Grotto Lounge. It was almost 4am and we had a boring time there cause Christina and Seannee were acting like wet blankets and tired. Christina had driven us to AC and said she was ready to go back to philly. Fortunately that is not how I roll, or my friend Bender for that matter either. So I ordered another pitcher of fosters. But Christina wasn't bluffing and told us not to be stupid cause her and Dave were going to leave. So to our delight and their disapproval and disbelief they reluctantly left without us. Then we had fun and ordered more pitchers of fosters. Then we went back to the casinos, and with barely 12 bucks a piece. We went back to the casino and somehow an hour later I was leaving a roulette table with a lot of money. I found bender sitting at another table with pile upon pile of 1 dollar chips in front of him. We cashed out with pockets full of money and had some drinks at the casino bar and did a lot of high fives and made it public knowledge that we were big winners. That is what happens when you go from 12 dollars to a few hundred dollars. Then we went to some shady bar as the sun was rising, and when Bender went to the bathroom he witnessed a knife fight. Then we staggered out of there and bought a really expensive tv guide and some bus tickets. We got back to philly in the afternoon, and bender had to call in sick at the Taco Cafe, and I assessed what to do with my new found riches. I decided to buy my fiance a puppy with my $219, but instead ended up getting a playstation, which in retrospect was the right decision because my fiance and I are no longer together, and tekken is still a bad-A game. If it wasn't for the Grotto lounge, I might be a disparaged man in a relationship with a woman that doesn't care for me and a dog who doesn't respect me. I would definitely go back to the Grotto Lounge.
