This unique bar has some of the best decor I have seen. When you walk in, you feel like you have entered the 1970's with the old style ads on the wall…

Fun and unique. Great bar with awesome food and beer. However the staff can be rude (pretentious hipsters)
This might be the best chicken I’ve ever had.
Awesome fried chicken lunch.
Bacon Wrapped Tater Tots!. A cheap place to get your greasy grub on! I tried the broasted chicken and found it to be nothing spectacularly different from good fried chicken but the bacon wrapped tater tots were great! The bacon is thrown in the fryer with the tots so no soggy bacon here! To top it all off is a spicy jalapeno kick with gooey cheddar cheese. How can you go wrong with something so sinfully delicious?
SO CHEAP!. I can’t believe this restaurant gets away with charging so little for a burger and fries! I was shocked. And the burgers are delicious. Go here for a rockin’ atmosphere, fun times, and cheap, delicious eats.
It’s kitchy and serviceable. Yeah, service can be so-so, but it’s a bar. Frankly, the High Life Lounge fits its name. It lives across the tracks from the hipster scene downtown — a divey, retro-70s bar where they don’t serve beers newer than 1979. No one can fault a bar that serves broasted chicken, the pressure-cooked, juicy, chicken wonder.The chicken-corn-chowder is darn good — bacon-y, thick, creamy, and full of chicken and corn. I should have ordered my own bowl, but I had to enviously watch my spouse crush saltine after saltine into each spoonful of its rich, smokey goodness. But really, you’re here for the plain-Jane old Cheeseburger basket, which is a bargain at $3.75. Trade up from your soft, lukewarm, industrial-tasting dirty-water wonder of a McDonalds hamburger. The High Life Lounge serves up what a McDonald’s burger should be: A crisp griddled-bun, griddled meat patty, barely sauteed onion, pickles, and cheese. Why eat limp, thin, non-descript fries? Get Tater Tots. There isn’t any surprise to tater tots, but they are sure are good after you pour ranch and salt all over them.High Life Lounge will leave you full and cheerful as long as you love greasy spoons and you’re willing to contemplate the fact that the waitress may sometimes forget about you and leave you beerless! No! But for cheap eats, this is a keeper.
Service is a joke, waitresses and bartenders are basically worthless – even by ‘drive-bar’ standards. Bartenders will just stare into space while you stand there waving a $20 and shouting for thier attention. Waitresses are even worse. They’ll spend all their time talking with each other and not doing much else. Started a tab at the bar and then moved to a table after things opened up. We go to leave and she gives me only my bill from the table and refuses to combine the totals or to walk the extra three feet to the bar register to close out my bar tab. they also left a paying party of seven standing while a single individual held FIVE tables of four seats each for almost two hours — and last week we were told that customers are not allowed to reserve tables. Good cheap food and cheap beer on ‘crappy beer night’ but the staff are worthless.
