    Worst service ever
    Cristina G.

    Worst experience ever, or I would have to say no service at all We sat for 15 minutes and nobody asked us what we would like to drink and the tender bar saw us and ignored us and she was talking to someone at the bar and turned her back on us. we will never return to this place

    What a parfect spot for a beautiful Saturday. They do have shared areas, thankfully, for when the sun is too much to handle. The drinks are priced on average with the local bars. They also have a food truck, with street tacos. I honestly wasn't a big fan of the tacos, they are very bland. I won't hold that against the bar though because it looks like it's a separate company. We definitely come back, it was a very enjoyable atmosphere.

    Patio bar/beer garden. Another addition at West 7th area. It isn't much different from the other places around here. Liquor, beer, sweet tasting drinks and people that all looked the same. This would be a nice hang out when the weather is not scorching, not freezing and not raining like there is no tomorrow. I just really don't know how are they going to pull this off when it's not nice out.

    Cool table set up

    First, this bar is brand spanking new. The thrones don't have any throw up stains on them yet so check it out before that happens. Second, I love this open bar concept. They have heaters all around and a fireplace to belly up near and tons of seating, although in the summer, that might all change. Another reason to check it out before that happens. Thirdly, if they had more crafty stuff instead of basic stuff, I would actually come back to drink just to drink instead of silently judging people then all of sudden, becoming as faded as them. The door guy was really nice both nights I've gone. Please keep them that way ^^

    Cool new place with an interesting aesthetic. I think they stole their furniture from Buckingham Palace. Bartenders are quick, friendly and know what they're doing. Large outdoor area with a lot of space heaters for the winter months. Great selection of beers, but Smaller crowds because its new. This makes it a great place to hang, talk, and enjoy yourself.

    Venue is spacious but far too drafty for the winter time with no heat and plastic walls. I won't be back this summer.

    Fiance and i walked were exploring and walked past an oddly placed and weirdly small laundromat…read morebefore realizing that there is no way this just a tiny random laundromat. We poke our heads in (accidentally going through the exit door. the front door is well camouflaged) and just found a wonderful very chilled out bar. Haven't been to a speakeasy in a long time. It was dark lighting with ambient black lights and string lights to keep it dim but you wont struggle to see through. Music was not super loud and the chairs were incredibly comfortable and the whole place was laid out to just have drinks and lounge while talking with friends. No food, which is fine. You have plenty of options on the same block for that. This place is just for drinks and conversation. The seasonal menu was awesome. It iss a bar so they of course can make anything you request if you don't want a specialty cocktail. I got my favorite, a moscow mule but they had a brazilian mule on the specialty menu. I never had that before and ordered it on the spot. It was grapefruit vodka with lime, lots of fine pellett nugget ice (the really good kind) with ginger beer and condensed milk. My god it was great, they told me how they made it because i never saw milk added to this before. It was a delicious limeade that almost was slushy like, creamy and with tangy vodka. Plus they actually served it in a proper copper mug. Best mixed drink ive had period and a cool twist on my favorite standard moscow mule. The place is now going to become a frequent haunt for us. Its very laid back, relaxed, with fantastic ambiance. It doesn't get jammed packed and is not meant to get wild in. We went there around 7pm on a friday night with about 8 or so others already there with their drinks. It did pick up later with 15-20 people in there but still spacious and comfortable. It genuinely was just a nice bar to have drinks and conversations with friends. Nice music that isn't too loud so you can talk with normal voice levels. The bartenders we had were super nice and charismatic. The drinks were not expensive, a respectable 13 bucks for my mule. If you have a bill over 40 dollars they automatically add 20% gratuity to it so keep that in mind when you are tipping. And after 8pm everything had 20% gratuity added to the bill. But the service is so damn good that you will probably still want to tip on top of that anyways. I loved it so much i actually made a yelp account just to post a review. TLDR super cool speakeasy type joint, cool aesthetics and laundry theme. Not loud, good for drinks and chit chat, cool well crafted specialty cocktails that don't break the bank. Good bartenders. Good times. Cozy seats that encourage you to hang out and talk even with folks you haven't met before and dim without being dark lighting. Clean bathroom too and quick charismatic service. Hit this place up for sure even just for the novelty of it. It was a wonderful surprise bar for a date night. Pro tip for this area in general. all paid parking, some place validates some do not, i am unsure if they do here but there is paid parking right out front and also a paid lot literally across the street. But i don't even bother. About a block and a half away northeast is a big shopping complex with a target. i just park there for free and walk. its a short nice walk and doesn't cost 20 bucks.

    Super late review as it's been quite some time since I visited Dirty Laundry, but it's still a spot…read morethat stands out. Highlights: Super fun speakeasy-style entrance Small interior, but the seating is arranged really well for different group sizes and feels surprisingly comfortable I don't recall them offering food during my visit, but the bartenders were friendly and were able to make a great mocktail Surrounded by different eateries, so it's easy to grab food nearby before or after drinks Easy parking, which is always a plus (street or parking garage nearby)

    Came here for the Murder Mystery at Thompson's event, and even though we didn't end up solving the…read morecrime, it made for such a fun, festive night out. The premise of the event was super engaging. We got to mingle with suspects, search for clues, and try to figure out "whodunnit" while exploring the venue. One of the best parts about Thompson's is the venue itself. The experience spans across all four distinct floors (from the main speakeasy level up to the cigar lounge), and each floor has its own unique vibe and personality that made hunting for clues even more entertaining. As for the drinks, the whiskey sour was top-notch. It hit the spot while we were busy playing detective. The bar was kept fairly clean throughout the night. The employees were super friendly, and kept the drinks flowing smoothly despite the event crowd. We were able to grab some street parking nearby, but if you can't find a spot right out front, there are plenty of paid parking lots in the immediate area. I highly recommend keeping an eye out for their special events!

We also had one of their unique cocktails which had a butterscotch taste. It was good. I walked through the cigar bar which is on the small side. Felt a little cramped compared to the other cigar bar downtown. We had a few drinks and went to leave. We found 4 additional bourbon drinks added to our tab. We knew nobody in our group was drinking that drink at all. We argued with the bartender and he refused to take it off. It left a sour taste in our mouth and $50+ lighter in the wallet. Bartender must have put someone else's drinks on our tab. Frustrating.
