I love the atmosphere and can see why it has a high rating and a local favorite. I ordered the cheesecake the chicken pot pie soup. That burger was so good, I had ate half of it before I realized I didn't put any condiments on it lol. The pot pie was velvety smooth and had just the right seasoning. If you're in the area, I highly recommend this place. They also serve breakfast starting at 8AM.

Normally yes, but if you want an Old Fashion Sunday (today) is not the day for them. The bartender…read moretoday does not know how to make them. Very disappointing. We were here just the other day and had 6 total and all perfect but today I am sad. Either do some retraining or please don't let her work on Sundays because we come here specifically for the Smoked Pecan Old Fashioned. Whichever girl was working on Friday, Jan 31st is the bomb!!

We went to the Schoolyard to watch a hockey game and see what was going on here. Let's take the big…read morethree questions one at a time. First the food is very lacking. There is really only two choices, a mac and cheese place and Mikey's Cheesesteaks which I will review separately. Definitely need more options, not sure if they have food trucks in the summer or not, but need more. Let's skip to the best attribute, the ambiance. Love the old elementary school layout, with the courtyard and various little businesses in the old classrooms. The bar is in what I assume was the old cafeteria, which was roomy with various seating options. There was a couple guitar players playing which was nice, and prices were reasonable. Now the low point. The afternoon bartender couldn't wait to get out of there fast enough. We asked for the game outside on the big TV as there was nobody there but us. She told us to ask the night bartender as she was about to leave (not sure why that was important and she was there another 15 minutes before relief arrived), but we had almost an hour so we got our drinks and sat down. After shift change we ordered round two and asked for the outdoor TV as instructed, but in the meantime someone had asked for the basketball game so we got a TV near us in the bar. Whomever had requested the outdoor TV didn't even make it to halftime of there game, but by then I didn't feel like moving. Great history, great idea, just lacking in execution at this point. I hope things work out.

This speakeasy is located in the basement of a 120-year old building in Gruene Grove (Gruene,…read moreTexas). Our mixologist, Logan (absolutely wonderful human being) not only made us the most delicious pecan praline whiskey cocktail but he also gave use some incredible history on the space & of course the ghosts! The limestone walls are original. Much of the decor adorning the walls was found in the building. Some of the wall hangings include an original bond and doctor prescriptions for whiskey. The furnishings and accessories complement the rooms to enhance the feeling of old-west prohibition. The velvet pieces exemplify burlesque. Total "hitch your horse to a post, mosey on down for a secret drink and a good time" vibes. Logan spun a tale of ghosts appearing in selfies taken by previous guests. The story was sensational and I was all about it. A wonky thing happened with the POS system while we were there that required a reboot. I joked that the ghosts thought I was taking too many pictures. Dark, moody, sexy, and relaxing...everything you want in a speakeasy---& good drinks too, of course. Absolute works of liquid art!

Located in the basement of what used to be the home of Henry Gruene's cotton workers, I believe…read more Head out back, behind traveling Gypsies store, at the Gruene Grove area. We came on a weekday therefore it wasn't busy at all. The bartender was very friendly. Cocktails were great. The small room we took did have some plush red velvet seats and leather sofas as they try to set the mood of the 1920's prohibition era. The other room felt weird with the restroom washing station being next to the seating.

It has a classy, tasteful speakeasy vibe without feeling overdone or pretentious. They also have a private room that would be great for a special group gathering or a more intimate celebration. The grand piano in the room adds a really elegant touch and makes the space feel even more elevated. We went on a Monday night, so it's hard to say what the normal energy is like on a busier evening, but the overall atmosphere was still very pleasant. Service was friendly and attentive, which I appreciated. The only thing I would have loved was a little more creativity or guidance with the cocktails. The space gives the impression that you're about to get a true mixologist-style experience, but the recommendations we received were pretty standard, like Old Fashioneds and martinis. We were hoping for something a little more unique or original, maybe a twist on a Sidecar or an elevated take on a classic Old Fashioned. That said, it's still a beautiful spot with great ambience, pleasant service, and a very nice overall feel. I would definitely go back, especially on a busier night to see the full vibe.

It was ok, nothing really special. It felt like it was just heated up and not made fresh. The couple next to us had a cheese plate which looked really good! I wish I got that lol! I had their blood orange martini cocktail and it was great. I wish it was a little more tart, but good overall! The vibes are very cute and I'm sure the patio would be great during the day. The bartender was super friendly and was super sweet when we asked her to grab a pic of us! I think it would be a good spot for a cheese plate and a glass of wine and I would go more in that direction when dining here!

The happy hour Old Fashion is heavy on the bitters if that's your thing, wasn't as fancy as I had hoped. The appetizer mushrooms are nice bite size morsels, just a bit on the greasy side - perhaps higher heat might fix that.
