Diva Lounge

Wow, based on the shocking article in the Tufts Daily paper against "people of color" (you can google it), I'm glad I wasn't there. Had I been, it would have made CNN, and most likely COURT TV.

Pros: ambiance

Cons: things may go down

"If you look at me like that one more time, I'm going to smash your head into that mirror!" I looked to my right and surprisingly found a middle-aged Caucasian woman staring straight at me. She was angry and muttering profanities. I wondered what I had done to provoke this woman....

Inexperience bartenders, overpriced cocktails, and VERY bad design. Whoever though those bubble lights were cool should go back to design school. What a dissapointment.

Pros: None

Cons: Price, Design, Atmosphere

I invited a group of friends to celebrate my bday with me at Diva's Lounge. The martini menu was impressive and the drinks were killer strong. I especially loved the Godiva martini. The service was great and the atmosphere was bubblerific. Gotta love the contemporary design. I felt like I was in a creamsicle cloud. I recommend that you call for reservations if you are meeting more than 4 people...

Absolutely love DIVA. The style of this bar is beautiful, done in very good taste. The martinis were fabulous, the best I've had. I recommend the tandoori wings. They were very tasty. Awesome dish. The service was great. Nothing to complain about here.

Pros: Drinks, Menu, Service

If you love creative martinis than Diva Lounge is worth the trip. The list of drinks has to be close to 30 including some unique Indian inspired selections. The atmosphere is like walking into a cloud. The white plastic walls and ceiling are over the top, but the environment is strangely soothing considering how modern it is. It is a refreshing change from other trendy martini bars in Boston like City Bar and Noir that tend to be too dark. My only complaints would be the size (kinda small) and the service. The staff was very friendly and mixed excellent drinks, but overall the service was amateurish. My GF described it best when she said, "It's like a bunch of college kids are running a bar" which is odd considering the drinks are 10-12 a pop (standard for boston martinis)

Pros: Martini List, Unique Design, DJ some nights

Cons: Amature Service, Tough to Mingle, Eclectic Crowd

The first time I was told about Diva lounge I didn't even believe it existed so I had to go check it out for myself. From the second I entered to door I was very impressed. The decor is very edgy with its bubbles everywhere and once you meet the staff and get a feel for the place you will understand why it is PERFECT! The drink list is very extensive and the food is great (I recommend the fried calamari or the saffron scallops) and the staff is great. As of now, Diva Lounge is a hidden gem in hip Davis sq. and I reccomend everyone to go check it out before everyone else figures this out and there is a line in the street to get in.

Pros: Location, Price, Staff

My friends and I visited Diva Lounge for the first time last weekend and were blown away by the decor and then were even more amazed by the outrageous drink menu. We had only planned on staying for one drink before we headed into Boston but ended up staying all night long. The entire experience was just as great as we had been told.

I went to the Diva Lounge last weekend. There were only five full tables, but that didn't stop the waitress from completely ignoring us for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, a bartender is fixing her makeup and texting behind the bar. A group leaving Diva snarked to us "nice service, right?" Not a good sign. We finally had a busboy flag her down for us. No apology or explanation for the wait. I don't know if this was her first time ever serving drinks, but here's a tip: don't awkwardly hold the drinks in front of your customers and expect them to pluck them off the tray. Also, maybe check back once in a while. It sounds crazy, but people will often have a second drink on Saturday night. Service aside, the food, drinks and atmosphere were good. I'm just not sure Somerville needs a place with $10 drinks.
