Best Bars And Lounges in Windermere

I came to Epilogue as a birthday celebration with my husband. I would consider myself a speakeasy enthusiast so I was very excited to try out Epilogue. The clues and journey leading up to the door were cute, but nothing over the top (no password, but rather a reservation + finding your “key”). It’s extremely well themed, intimate, and moody/low lighting. It’s quiet with modern-songs-turned-jazz playing in the background. There’s no entertainment, so don’t expect to be ‘entertained’ in any way. It’s intended for an intimate atmosphere with conversations. My husband and I came dressed for the occasion in prohibition style clothing and we were praised and complimented by the staff for embracing the vintage sophistication. The drinks are excellent and creative and different. Fun backstories and inspiration to each of them that you can read about and the server will tell you more about. There are other more classic cocktails, wine, and beer available as well. We each ordered our two drinks and were there for the full 2 hours (not rushed). We didn’t experience any delay in ordering or receiving our drinks and our server was attentive. I do wish there was more variety to the gourmet snacks included at the table - I’m thinking aperitif style snacks with olives, gourmet spiced nuts, etc. in addition to their existing snack. A small selection of items I think would really up the value perception. I appreciated the no-photos rule as it just adds to the sophistication and mystery of it all. After our visit we had a bite to eat at a Ravello bar where we ran into a manager from Epilogue who was enthused to ask about our experience. I would consider coming back here again for special occasions.

Absolutely wonderful experience. The restaurant was excellent, the food was outstanding and our server, Jessica was literally the best ever. We had an amazing time and will return without question. 

We were greeted by two wonderful staff members at the front entrance. We advised that we had a reservation, however, saw two seats at the bar. We sat at the bar for libations and lunch. The bartender was polite and engaging. Overall it was a great visit.

We throughly enjoyed celebrating our 6 year old granddaughters birthday with Shelia. She was amazing!

A wonderful holiday meal… we really enjoyed everything about it!
