Lounge Lizard
Sleepy Hollow
378 Bridge Street
Loveland, Ohio
677-0290
Anyone who has ever spent anytime in Las Vegas can appreciate a
great lounge. The swanky smooth Sinatra music, a cool gin and tonic melting
under the neon lights, kicked back, a fresh smoke in hand, just chillin’.
You’ll be hard pressed to find any lounge that fits the bill in Cincy...till
now.
The famous Sleepy Hollow in Loveland is renowned for their awesome culinary
creations, praised by locals for their service and may just be the best well
rounded restaurant/bar in town.
Sleepy Hollow has been unwavering keepin’ it real amidst the ever changing
restaurant climate surrounding Symmes Township.
365 days a year Christmas is in full swing at Sleepy’s. Lights, mistletoe
and even a tree twinkle all day and all night. Home cooked plates with portions
that would make grandma proud, come complete with that oh so good “Thanksgiving
stuffed” finale.
However, if you think the Sleepy little Hollow is for the quiet and tranquil
stop by on a Friday night. Every Friday Jack “the voice” Eno
transports you back to the 40’s when a cool crooner in a gold satin
jacket sang “My Way” with a Jack on the rocks and Pall Mall non
filter. Ambience is everything and this cats got it down pat. I for one have
been craving a night of the “lounge life” ever since I moved
back from Vegas in 2002. My Friday experience at Sleepys was just what I
needed. Great songs from Sinatra, Bennet, Elvis, and so many more.
This guy might be older than most of the patrons but I bet he has more fun
in one night than most of them do in a month. He lives it, he loves it and
it has kept him “Young At Heart” to say the least, he keeps it
up all night long! (Friday 7-11).
If you need a break from the rat race, swing into Sleepy Hollow on Fridays
and step into the Rat Pack pace. You will not see a frown in the place, the
only thing you will be missing is a big fat 60’s Cadillac to drive
home and savor the days when Frank, Dean and Sammy topped the charts.
Jack has been such a popular addition to Sleepy Hollow that they added a
dimer piano player to the mix on Thursdays... Eddie Schmaltz. He’s
big on requests, from Billy Joel and Elton John to to Burt Bacharach and
he plays them all by heart. You’re not going to see that at Applebees.
Very very cool indeed!
