Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Retail Therapy offers a chic, eclectic atmosphere with "perfect lighting, decor, ambience, and energy." Guests rave about the "attentive staff" and "delicious drinks and desserts," making it ideal for a nightcap or pregame. However, some note inconsistent dress code enforcement and limited food options. A must-visit for its unique vibe and cocktails.

    They have great drinks, but the music was too loud to establish a conversation with our party, plus they have no food, only desserts.

    Cocktails were delivery good. They are definitely going for a certain vibe but something is just off. The seating is different heights, some too low for the table and some too high. Server was fantastic and attentive.

    Pretty empty for a a Thursday night at 8:30pm. Decorations were cool but it’s too big of a space to be empty. Bartender was nice. Just awkward first date atmosphere

    I couldn’t try the food as chef was unavailable. This bar is cozy, chic, and has a very cool vibe with warm colors, low lighting, eclectic decor, and a beautifully backlit bar. I sat at the bar and bartender, Jada, was phenomenal. Great drinks, fun conversation, and overall she made me feel very welcomed as I am not from Austin. This is a must see in Austin.

    This experience was completely unexpected and was incredible! Never seen anything like it. Greeted at check in with a smooth shot of whiskey mix, then escorted inside through a Wall Mirror that was a door. You walk into a whole different experience! Lighting, decor, ambience, energy, staff...pure perfection. Do not get me started on the drinks! I took my husband's drink literally out of his hand after I finished mines. LOL My go place to get sexy and feel sexy in this upscale, yet relaxing venue. Thumbs up to whoever the founders are! Austin needed this!
