Over the weekend, I visited this establishment with another person whose debit card was somehow…read morelost while in the bar's possession. The establishment successfully charged their card but when it came time to return it the card was nowhere to be found. What happened afterward is what troubled me most though. Rather than taking responsibility...offering meaningful assistance or even demonstrating genuine concern....we were told that they "might have given his card to someone else," that "there was nothing they could do," and most astonishingly... that "it sucks, but it happens". But losing someones debit card while it is in your care should not simply be dismissed as something that "happens". We contacted the business through multiple platforms. We returned in person the following day to see whether the card had been found. At every opportunity we hoped someone would take ownership of the situation and make a sincere effort to help resolve it..that did not happen. And there is another piece of this experience that I cannot comfortably ignore. The person I went with was a person of color. Afterward I read other reviews describing troubling experiences at this establishment involving people of color. I cannot claim to know what motivated the way my compatriot was treated and I will not make an accusation I cannot prove. But when a pattern begins to emerge businesses should be willing to examine it rather than dismiss the people raising concerns. Ultimately this is about something very simple... dignity, accountability and the way we choose to treat one another. Mistakes happen...cards get misplaced...employees make errors but character both individual and institutional is revealed in what happens next. A business cannot always prevent a mistake but it can choose whether to respond with responsibility, compassion and respect. In this case that opportunity was there repeatedly. Unfortunately though this establishment chose not to take it. At the very least they could have offered to reverse the charge on their card to compensate for the mistake. I hope management takes these concerns seriously...not simply because of one lost debit card, but because every person who walks through the door deserves to know that if something goes wrong, their concern will matter, their property will matter, and they will be treated with the basic dignity and respect every customer deserves.

Everything else about this place is on the same level of disappointment - the space is crammed, the bartender is rude and uncaring, the music is way too loud for the venue and the prices are astronomical. This place should not be on your list, for any reason. Go to literally any other speakeasy in the area, you'll have a better time.

Interesting little music venue. It's located by the clubhouse and is a part of the golf course. The…read morevenue isn't super fancy but gets the job done. We went to see their jazz night and the dark atmosphere fit perfectly with the music. The music was good and seems to feature local musicians which is inspiring in my opinion. I believe tickets were $15 a person for a table and $10 for general admission. They had a Yelp deal which was for $15 for $30. We went for the table and essentially got 50% off by using their Yelp deal. I wouldn't say sitting at the table is completely necessary unless you're ordering food. The venue is fairly small, and you'll get a good sound wherever you sit. They allow you to order food at the clubhouse which is a nice treat, dinner and a show, ya know. They'll give you a number to place at your table and will bring the food out when it's ready. However, don't expect a full-on server to be present. If you need something make sure you think of it before you're done placing your order. Once you get your food, chances are you won't see that server again. The food wasn't bad. My husband and I split a burger with fries and an order of jalapeno poppers. I don't think people go here for the food though. Overall, it was a nice and reasonable option if you're interested in local music and looking for a weekday night out. Tip They do allow you to bring in your own wine and pay a corkage fee if that's something you fancy.

Live music by "Pat O'Brien and the Priests of Love" who we were told is the house band. They were loud but rockin' and groovin'. Very small area in front of the stage where you could dance, if so inclined. DRINKS at night. The bartender was not making cocktails like Apple does during the day. Pretty much beer, shots, and very basic drinks (rum & coke, vodka, cranberry & OJ, etc.). They weren't running tabs at night either, it was pay-as-you-go. We had two bottles of Modelo and two Madras and the total was slightly more for the second round (not sure why) but it was too loud to try and discuss it with the bartender. On street parking, or a small lot in the back, off the alley. After only three visits, I can't say that this place is our regular hangout, but it's become one of our favorite watering holes. See you there.

This bar is tucked inside Vroman's Bookstore (already one of the most charming and iconic bookstores in the area) so the entire experience feels like stepping into a warm, literary universe. You can browse for a new book, take in the bookstore's atmosphere, and then walk straight into the bar. Honestly, it's the perfect outing. What makes 1894 truly special is how intentionally it celebrates literature. Everything in the bar pays homage to the bookstore. The drink menu is full of clever, book-inspired names. You'll find cocktails like Pride and PearJudice Pride, Fifty Shades of Earl Grey, and other fun literary twists. Every drink feels like a little wink to readers, writers, and book lovers, and it adds such a unique charm to the experience. The vibe is super quaint and warm, dim lighting, and a creative atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours. The wine is on the pricier side ($19-$21 per glass), but the quality delivers. Customer service was excellent. One of the bartenders spent time chatting with us. He pointed out a chalk artwork behind the bar a dramatic portrait he drew himself featuring expressive, literary-style faces, like Edgar Allan Poe, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, etc. It fits perfectly with the creative, bookish aesthetic of the bar. If you're into books, wine, and unique experiences, 1894 is a spot you absolutely can't miss. Perfect for a date, a solo unwind-with-a-book moment, or a fun night with friends who appreciate a good story and a great drink.
