If they are going to claim to have a theme like "the archives", there should at least be some old books around, or wallpaper of books, or historic newspaper clippings, or more framed old photos. Actually any kind of decor at all would better than this stark boring room. As of now, you just feel like you are sitting in some old basement with a few pictures thrown on the wall as an after thought. Happy hour pricing is a good deal though.

Also a great way to try a bunch of cocktails. $5! What a steal! Our server was really nice and the drinks came out pretty quick along with our food. My only complaint is that the truffle fries were cold and limpy. They were great.... Also the truffle flavor was nonexistent. And my chicken tasted kinda fishy and the batter came off. So obviously they weren't battered correctly. But if you don't count the food, this place is pretty good!

First off, I love, LOVED this place when it first opened and brought friend after friend there…read morebecause it is unique and fun, like walking into another era. However, the last time I went there (in 2024), we had a young man who was very rude serving us. He did not bring our drinks to us until one of us had to go ask him for our order! It seemed as though he may have been resentful, as our drinks were mediocre to bad - tasted like no alcohol - with hardly any volume...yet our bill - for only three drinks - was outlandishly high!! I was so disappointed and, frankly, embarrassed for District Elleven. How I wish I could have some kind of reassurance that this kind of thing would not happen again, so I would be moved to go back...the ambience gave me the best vibe being there, and that is an accomplishment in itself. A++ for ambience (and previously, also for drinks and food from next door); but now, F for service and drinks - so sad.

The immersive Star Wars theme, attentive service, and surprisingly quiet atmosphere add up to a…read morestandout speakeasy night. Allusion Speakeasy is doing something special. Went in for an after-dinner drink and got pulled into a full Star Wars takeover, complete with Han Solo frozen in carbonite on the door, a Mos Eisley Cantina bar setup, and Star Wars shows playing in the background. The theme changes every 3-4 months, so what you see now won't be there forever. Reservations are usually required and we got lucky thanks to a local host who knew someone. Worth planning ahead. Drinks come from the in-house "Cantina" and lean into the theme without feeling gimmicky. Food runs off the menu from the Wobbly Olive, the main bar hidden behind a door in the same spot, and it held up. The Outer Rim Provisions menu had solid options. The biggest surprise was the noise level. You'd expect a themed cocktail bar to be loud, but you could actually hold a conversation. Our server was on point, brought drinks fast, and even remembered the names of the people we were with. Go for a date night or anytime you want a low-key cocktail experience with serious attention to detail. Make a reservation. Peek into the Wobbly Olive on your way out.

The creativity that goes into each one of their themes that rotates quarterly-ish, is so impressive! They even had an old book for guests to sign that looked like it could've belonged in the Lord of the Ring movies. The drink I got was a spinoff of an old-fashioned, which I love, but it was really just an old-fashioned. I couldn't taste the difference, but it was a great old-fashioned! :-)

As for recent reviewer Daniel S., may I respectfully point out that you can't just walk into a food service establishment with 35 people at any time of day, much less near closing, and expect perfect service. That's the purpose of calling ahead and making reservations, to let them get prepared for you. Work _with_ the establishment, not against it, and they'll take care of you. It's not reasonable to just walk in without giving them warning, then complain about the result. That's on you.

Normally, I would have just moved on, but he was so gracious and inviting that we opted to park for a drink. His knowledge base rivals any of your top-tier mixologists. He has a super chill vibe, and he can make you a custom beverage out of practically no inventory that will wow you. He was an absolute delight to chat with and we loved our craft cocktails. As avid travelers, our palates are educated and we are savvy with spirits, so it was refreshing to stumble on a badass bar tender that has perfected the craft and cultivated a warm and welcoming presence. We can't say enough great things about him. When we visit there again, we look forward to stopping by and getting a specialty cocktail from Juice. He's an asset to that establishment, and everything you look for in a bartender! We did go down stairs and had a lovely time there too. The staff was great, and the ambiance is fantastic. Go support this place; you won't be disappointed!

Food was delicious but large portions. Great if you are super hungry but for two girl friends we had a lot of extras. We ordered the: Garlic Truffle Fries Brussel Sprouts Artisan Bread Whiskey Sticky Ribs Bison Short Ribs Delicious but the ribs and fries were definitely my favorites... brussels sprouts were a close second.

I have to admit that the ambience is really cool; you walk down into a basement to enter the restaurant, which used to be the city morgue, and while that's a little bit creepy, it gives the space a dark, velvety vibe that I think some people would really like. However, for a higher-end establishment, I found the service to be kind of spotty and not quite up to par. My biggest disappointment was the food, as we ordered two entrées to share and found both to be rather disappointing and honestly kind of bad, which was especially frustrating given how expensive they were. While it might have just been the specific dishes we chose, the combination of high prices, underwhelming food, and inconsistent service means I likely won't be back, even if the unique atmosphere was interesting to see once.
