Playground Lounge

My experience did not align with what I expected based on online reviews. I visited while in the area and found the establishment through Google, anticipating a traditional lounge atmosphere. Instead, the space felt more like a restaurant that plays music, with only table seating or VIP booths available, rather than a true lounge vibe. The food was disappointing. The wings and fries tasted as though they were prepared in an air fryer rather than traditional oil, which in itself wasn’t the issue. The hot honey sauce had good flavor, but the wings were extremely chewy, almost rubbery. The fries were heavily over-seasoned with seasoning salt, to the point that it overwhelmed the dish. Additionally, the DJ repeatedly mentioned needing to keep the music volume down, which was confusing given that this is marketed as a lounge environment. Lastly, the pricing did not match the quality delivered. I paid $36 for a double, ordered specifically to taste the liquor, and it appeared to be diluted. Overall, the prices were quite high while the experience fell short. This may be acceptable to local patrons who frequent the establishment, but for those visiting from out of town or new customers, I would recommend revisiting certain practices to better align the experience with expectations and pricing.

Love the hot honey wings and blue crabs. Great happy hour selection also. Henny is also on the happy hour drink list 😊. Bartenders thankfully doesn't do light pours

After only a couple drinks, both my friend and I woke up feeling unusually jittery and not like ourselves at all. Could’ve been a bad reaction, but it was concerning enough to mention. Just be mindful

Nice vibe but the waitresses takes their time to take your order when they know happy hour bout to be over with... also they pricing going up every time I go there

Wednesdays happy our and crab crackers is amazing! Owners, waitresses, and bartenders are great. The lemon pepper wings are one of the best in Summerville. The music is great if you like 90s R&B, southern soul, and Hip Hop.
