    This was my second time here with another poor experience. This time I got an entire drink poured on my head/back accidentally from a server and nothing was done about it. Additionally they removed us from our table less than an hour after our reservation for the next party without telling us.

    We had a reservation at 10pm and weren’t seated until 10:35pm. Ordered 4 different drinks, not 1 was even decent. They let far too many people in given the size of the space. It’s got amazing design, but you can’t appreciate it given the sea of people. They were blaring techno music, and we couldn’t hear each other at our tiny table. The floor and tables were sticky with spilled drinks. We left within 15 minutes of sitting down. It’s no speakeasy or cocktail lounge, it’s a club with terrible drinks. The staff was also not impressive or particularly nice, but who would be given the mess they work in? Seems like they are very confused on what they are attempting to deliver. I’ll be shocked if it lasts.

    I didn’t have any food and not sure if they serve food. But the place was great but the music isn’t the best. It would be nice if they played soft r&b or pop or even jazz or some nice instrumentals

    Atmosphere is great! Drinks are top notch. It is a little loud if you want to have a meaningful conversation.

    Very sexy speakeasy in downtown Austin. The drinks, ambience and vibes were amazing. Cute for date night or girls night out as they take your phone so you have to engage in conversation and enjoy the night. Highly recommend!
