My boyfriend and I shared an N/A beer and chatted up the bartender on duty for a bit. They were super welcoming and totally cool with our little fur guy Benji being there as well. Definitely wanna go back again soon.

Extremely loud live band on the night I went (can be a plus or a minus depending on your point view) The biggest feature, of course, are the swings. No kidding! Huge porch swings, decorated with garlands of plastic flowers. They're a little challenging to get in and out of (do they function as a drunk trap for over-served patrons?) It's definitely a unique and memorable aspect to this place.

Was not a huge fan of this place. Upon entry, I had low expectations, but I still thought I'd get…read moresome decent drinks. As I sat at the bar, I watched drinks being made and immediately decided I'd be ordering a beer. There wasn't much of a selection to choose from, but that was the safest option for me.

He was more attentive and he kept checking on us throughout the night. They got busy around 9 pm. And it seemed to be a local favorite. Their cocktails are creative but it's still budget-friendly. I enjoyed my cocktails but some were more tart than others. Still, If we were ever to come back to Waco this is the place I would like to come back to.

One Day is a really cute place that offers an upscale cocktail bar vibe that Waco didn't really…read morehave before. The neon signs, brick walls, and interesting decor make this a unique place to visit, and honestly a great place to grab an Instagram picture. The bartenders are knowledgeable and have great recommendations. They offer cocktails, beer and wine, and coffee and tea. I haven't had the coffee here so I can only comment on the bar. The drinks are pretty pricy for Waco (~$10), so going here for me is an experience thing. I have tried the Faerie Fire, which the bartender told me tasted like a strawberry moscow mule, and he was right! What's interesting about it is that there is cayenne in it, so some spice hits the back of your throat. I have also had their Tom Collins and enjoyed it. It's a pleasant, refreshing drink. I tried the Jungle Bird and the Pink Flamingo and they weren't really my thing, but my friends have enjoyed them. I think the key to going here is knowing what you like. The best part about One Day is all of the outdoor seating. Especially during covid, when barhopping is pretty much out of the question, this place has been a refuge for drinks with friends. They have six picnic tables out front, where the Yaki food truck is typically stationed (SO GOOD, must try!), and they also have several two-top tables in a little "alley" past the picnic tables between two buildings. Instagram tip: there's a neon sign out there if you wanna grab a pic! It's also nice because the experience hasn't changed because of covid like it has at other bars. I think everyone can find something they like at One Day. Try it out!
