Cookie’s Cocktail Lounge

Best local spot for a great drink. Newly remodeled looking ver swanky and trendy! But the prices remained the same!!!

SO MUCH FUN!!! Go on Wednesday night, game night. I am from out of town, I don’t know anyone (except my sister and a couple of her girlfriends that live here) and I left feeling like I made friends with the entire place. Games like checkers, dominoes, Jenga (my fav), Uno, Operation, and Connect 4, were only a few of the games circulating. There is a 2 drink minimum, no cover, and FREE FOOD. Grab a plate, order a drink, and find a game you would like to play. It is great, safe, and silly, fun!

I love the fact that I’m the first person to review this place. I know what you’re thinking: Where can I get a good drink in Auburn-​Gresham? Look no further; you must stop by Cookies! This is the local watering hole of our teaching staff – our dear paychecks often go straight here.
Cookies is owned by Cookie, a great, great lady. Now, you must be prepared for the eccentricities of this place. First, you have to be buzzed in. I suppose that’s to keep the «riff raff» out. Don’t be tempted to roll up in your sports gear, white t-​shirts or head gear. If you step out in that, you’ll be denied! (Aww, snap!) Be prepared for a lot of hugs from strangers… maybe it’s the strangeness of my pale, pale skin – who knows. Once you make it in, it’s nothing but warmth and laughter. It’s usually an older crowd inside, and cookie serves up some awfully strong drinks. It’s dirt cheap, and somehow, you can’t ever seem to order enough to get the credit card tab at the requisite $ 20. More than once, we’ve had to start ordering shots for the bar – and we were already pretty toasted. Who knows how she accounts for all of that – maybe it was our winning smiles. And she’ll remember your name. It’s like Cheers, but on the south side. Represent!
