Mine was the Velvet Peach, I even ate the candied orange and tasted the Outlaw Margarita, great kick, and the Old Fashioned was divine! I was so impressed the single giant ice cube, keeping my cocktail icy cold. We came before the rush and chose one of several cozy parlors. Glad I could take pictures before it was packed. Lovely patrons in comfy cozy settings. Elegant ladies' room, great ambience in every room, coupled with sweet service. Highly recommend Bourbon Speaks in this "Little Napa". Great destination vacation!

Him and his team were super helpful before, during, and after the party. They were auper patient with all of the kiddos running around, keeping popcorn coming and cleaning up the messes that kids inevitably made throughout the party. The venue itself was perfect for us since we had a toddler and 2 children with special needs in attendance. It's basically one big room so it was easy to keep up with where everyone was. There were so many game options, from pong (which the grandparents especially loved), patio games, mortal kombat, Mario kart, the OG duck hunt game, the list goes on. I'm not sure who had more fun, the kids or the adults! The crew there did a great job keeping up with our drink and food orders throughout the party. Then afterwards were helpful with rounding up the kids and getting the place cleaned up. I see a 12th birthday party at this location in our future!

We had a school event at this cocktail lounge, and it was a great venue. The decor is eclectic with…read morea haunted vibe. They have a very small dance floor. It's definitely more of a bar to sit down and chat as they have a lot of very comfortable seating. The bartenders were friendly, and I got to try a few different drinks. Their menu is huge, and they have so many interesting cocktails. Dragon's Breath: I may have misremembered the name, but this was definitely the coolest drink I got. It came with a plastic dragon egg with dry ice spewing out of it just for the vibes. The actual drink itself was very tasty and sweet with a dragonfruit flavour. The main liquor is Malibu. The Parlour: had a sour lime taste to it with a big green skull ice block. My friend kept the golden skull pick as it is marketed as a keepsake, which is a very cute idea. This is one of their most expensive cocktails. Lychee Martini: this was terrible. I love lychee, and I like martinis, but this tasted like foul flowers. I would call this a rotten lavender taste. I did not taste any lychee. Living Dead Girl: tasty vodka cran drink with real blackberries. They got stuck in my teeth and stained them, but it tasted great.

Parking is downtown so depending on when you go, you might have so issues. The bar itself is relatively small, and it was a little awkward going by myself on a random Friday evening. The seats were comfortable, but definitely recommend going with someone should you decide to check this place out. I will be going back for another coconut blueberry margarita in the near future with a friend of mine.

Not like most sours. Jalepeno Cream Ale is ok and not overpowering. It is a niche style and opinions will be broad. Cyber Donk Hazy IPA. A good Hazy with a little bit of bittering hop in there. Interesting hop mix. You Shall Not Mash New Zealand IPA. Had a lot of flavors in the profile. Too many? That's up to you. MILF Stout (Gold in TxCraft)- Milk Stout that fits the style. Not my top style and I'm sure Milk Stout lovers will like. Grand Cru Belgian Strong. This one had flavor mix that were somewhat different than expected for this style. Interesting brew that is good, yet different. I want to try it again and compare notes. East of Zealand Sour (Kiwi kumquat). Another nice one that you should try. Mild sour notes and flavorful refreshing brew! Food: 4+ Both the Ruben and Bold/Spicy Burger were good! We had sweet potato fries and they too on point. All seemed fresh and no issues had.

The margaritas (mine were on the rocks) made to perfection. Finally a place that has "Hot" salsa. Great taste, great amount of heat. Only miss with all of this are the chips. My personal preference is for a thinner chip. Some like the thicker ones and try this place regardless of my chip preferences. I ordered the Steak Fajitas with Corn tortillas. Great portion size. The sides were portioned to complete the meal. I did ask for sour cream since the menu did not say it came with it. Well it did and the waitress did not let me know that and so I got charged for an extra sour cream. Not a big fan of refried beans, however that was what they had. They tasted good and I believe if you are a refried beans type, they would be considered great! The restaurant itself is modern meets industrial vibe. Cozy but not tiny. The staff could be a little more attentive or at least more personable. All in all, I would eat here anytime I am visiting the area and wanting Mexican.

Google will get you into the right area, but you'll have to go through a pizza joint's seating area and head towards the big painting to access the entrance. What a cool experience! Walking in, you're immediately transported to a dark, eerie and ominous yet welcoming room. A full bar on the left? Bookstore with seats on the right? Wow yes please! I went to visit the bar and was impressed by its selective, but adequate spread of options. I ordered a summer spritz and went to go look at the books available. I love how they section off into the different genres while adequately having a good seating area. If you're in the area to explore, this place is it for some good reads and studying. Nice dark but appropriately enhanced environment for some quiet time!
