How hard is it to get into the California Grill Lounge?

After reading some posts, it seems like going to the California Grill Lounge just for a drink can be pretty hard. My sister and I are staying at the GF this weekend and were wanting to do a Monorail Bar Crawl. We were planning on leaving the GF at like 6:00PM, and going to the CG Lounge for our first drinks. It the lounge that busy for 2 people at like 6:15PM on a Friday?

The lounge is really only hard close to fireworks time. The earlier you are the more likely you are to be let up.

Ok, Fireworks are at 9:00PM so I'm guessing that means we'll be fine?

If you stop by the lounge early and order something, can you get back up to the viewing area for the fireworks?

Not 100% sure. I have heard before you can hold onto your reciept and show it to get back in but never have tried myself to confirm.

Keep in mind that the so called lounge is just 8 low tables sitting smack dab in the middle of the restaurant.

AT 6:15 I'd say there is a pretty fair chance there will be room and they will let you up.

I don't want to say I'm 100 percent certain, but I'm very confident that if you have a receipt from the California Grill lounge from earlier in the evening, you'll be allowed up for fireworks as if you had eaten in the main dinin room.

I can't recall ever having had a problem getting in to the lounge ... but I don't think I've ever tried within an hour of the fireworks. Getting in at 6:30 when the fireworks are at 9 should be no problem. I love the CG lounge - sushi and cocktails are great !
