The Mollie Fontaine Lounge Experience

Picture a lounge with a fusion of styles that is right on the line between too much and just enough. Think funky, eclectic, artsy, and a touch of Alice-in-Wonderland enchantment. It's like stepping into your cool, but slightly unhinged aunt's place, where every corner is a new discovery.

It's not just about the ambiance; Mollie Fontaine Lounge tantalizes your taste buds too. With a full bar both downstairs and upstairs, the libations are as inventive as they are delicious. And the small plate menu? And if you are feeling some small plates, try out some of their seafood specialty plates or delectable appetizers! 

A Little History

Originally built around 1886 as a wedding present, this former residence was previously known as The Mollie Fontaine Taylor House. It is on the National Historic Register of Victorian homes and became the current lounge in 2007 after many years as a home.
