Review from Nicole W.
Updated - 1/31/2012
This update is written regarding 157's latest addition: Sushi.
I know what you are thinking, sushi?! In Kent?! In the martini bar in Kent?!
I know, I had the same reaction.
But I met a friend...I gave it a shot and ordered 2 rolls. And then we ordered more. And then we ordered more. Well done 157! After the disappointment that was Dancing Beta in Kent -- I didn't think decent sushi could be found in the area -- but you did it!
I had some great rolls (I can't remember their names and their website isn't updated yet, but I'm pretty sure I had a shrimp crumble, spicy tuna, a tiger, and some other animal name). Plus accompanied with the same great wine and martini service.
Proud of you 157, I'm still not sure how the sushi bar will mesh with the late night crowd -- but it was delicious and I am glad I came by to try!Listed in: 100 in 2012- GO!, My life in small-town Kent, Quest for Sushi

157 Lounge is by far the classiest place in downtown Kent. The inside is very modern and simplistic, but stunning compared to other bars in the area. There's plenty of seating both at the bar and around the walls, if you so choose. The major perk of 157 is that it's one of the only bars in Kent to have a dance floor, and a good one at that.
Drink prices here are a bit steeper than at other bars, but that's probably because you're paying for the environment. They only have a few beers on tap, but that's because they specialize in cocktails and martinis. And they don't skimp on the booze in the mixed drinks. On a random note, one of my favorite things about this place is that they serve moscato by the glass. That's VERY rare in a restaurant, nevermind in a bar.
The crowd here is mixed. While it is a classy place, a few slobs manage to get through the front door, which ruins the vibe a bit (Really? Do you need to wear your Batman shirt to the bar? That's a great way to get the ladies). Unfortunately, the higher-class atmosphere attracts a fair share of students who look like they belong on the Jersey Shore. As such, I don't really find myself here late night on Fridays or Saturdays. Just not my scene. If you go earlier in the evening, it is a nice place to grab a fairly made drink.
The fish tank is very pretty, too.Listed in: Out and About in Downtown Kent

One of these things is not like the other....and that's 157 lounge. This place is an upscale sort of NYC dance club in a small building in downtown Kent. One side has some modern seating, while the other has a sort of VIP section with a dance floor and DJ.
It's somewhat trendy, with an upscale twist. I do enjoy that there is a place in the area that you have to get dressed up for. it's over priced for kent, but not anywhere near the prices of downtown cleveland.
if you can avoid the crowd of dbags, you should have a pretty good time at the 157 lounge.
