    $17 and $19 cocktails...
    Victoria P.

    This one is tough to write. I really liked Fat Franks when they first opened. They have increased their cocktail prices. I ordered a $17 cocktail that was served in a glass that looked to be from Dollar Tree. Not kidding. Nothing against Dollar tree, but C'mon... We had a reservation and waited outside about 5-10 minutes before anyone answered the phone/door. We almost left. We came to realize that the bouncer was also the doorman...Poor guy was running up the stairs to let people in, then running back downstairs to make drinks. And it's not like this place was packed. Every time I have been here it's pretty dead. I've only been on Friday & Saturday nights after 7pm. Sadly, the cocktails were lack luster. For the price, it only made the lack luster flavor sting more. The food was also overpriced and just okay - nothing mind blowing. I mean - French fries and hotdogs...c'mon... I love their concept to help the community by asking for donated canned goods as an entry fee. Overall - if I am going to chose a Speakeasy, I will be heading to Founder's.

    OK, I want to start off with saying that their delivery system is very interesting and overall different from some of the other speakeasy environments I've experienced. I love that they are partnering with local nonprofits and tying admission into donations. The space is cool. It's pretty big and easily accommodated a larger party of six of us. Service was great, they never got super busy. Our reservation was for 6:30 on a Saturday night and I believe there were two other parties the entire time we were there. I really really enjoyed the cocktail offerings, they're a bit on the price your side for cocktails and Albuquerque, but I got the dreamsicle cocktail twice and it was really good. I was able to sip a few other cocktail options that friends ordered, including the espresso martini, which was very sweet. The food options were decent. I will say I felt like the food prices were a little high for hotdogs and french fry type stuff. I would personally rather just keep it to cocktails, but it is great that they have food options.

    Overall good experience. Hotdog and fries are the only options for food, and an affogato pour ( ice cream and espresso). The ambiance is kinda flat, could lean more into the speakers vibe if it was darker, more moody. 5.5/10.

    Speakeasy tour!!! Eric was a great tour guide! We had a blast Fat Franks is a really cool place!

    Dark room, over done...not a repeat location. Drinks were creative yet overpriced. Not a location I'd recommend to anyone--

I recently visited zinc for the first time for a birthday celebration. Overall, I was very impressed with everything. I enjoyed my salad, which at the time was the seasonal special and had pears in it. I also really enjoyed the lobster ravioli. I didn't try and cocktails because I wasn't drinking at the time but their cocktail menu was interesting. Overall, I would totally come back, I'd like to check out their more casual bar menu.

The hostess was kind in allowing this senior group to sit upstairs while having happy hour items from the *cellar menu. Our gracious server was Menomonee. She took our drink orders and everyone was happy with the festive well-prepared cocktails. Then we ordered our appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Everything was right on point. I even took a few photos - which I rarely ever remember to do. (I will post them after this review is online.) [*While the cellar seems very intimate, one person in our party was with a cane and has trouble with stairs, and another person has vision issues in the dark, so we could not handle that environment.] So, well done Zinc staffers and kitchen! You have won new customers' hearts and well will be back again and again!!!

    This was our third time at Happy Accidents and, to my surprise, I had not reviewed this place…read more This bar is definitely big and screams artsyxotic with its grassy ceiling, hanging monkeys, and mannequin wall. The drink crafters are definitely talented and very attentive, ready to make recommendations. This last time we ordered the espresso matini, the citrus, the bubble gum cosmo, and the pornstar martini. The espresso martini was absolutely smooth with a lot of coffee flavor. The citrus was definitely citrus and refreshing. The pot star martini was very funny and fun to drink, wirh a lot of tropical flavors, but it was not as fun as the glittery cosmo. As a snack, the birria fries were a good compliment, quite delicious with enough birria. Overall, it is no surprise that Happy Accidents is one of the best bars known the US. Creativity and flavor abound on Route 66 for sure.

My husband got the signature Happy Little Accidents- the cocktail with Bob Ross atop. He said it tasted good- sweet. I got a N/A cocktail- London Girl Lost and Nochtilli Refresher. Both were really well made mocktails that didn't just taste of syrup and soda water. Flavors like actually melded really well and you can distinguish the notes! The garnish for my mocktails were fun, too- and the giant rectangular prism of ice. Staff was very kind and friendly from when we entered to sit until we left. Definitely a fun stop for an evening.
