Everyone bite of food was delicious! My favs - oysters!!! So fresh. The focaccia bread with burrata was amazing as well.

And it wasn't what I was expecting. This is a personal preference but if I had known the steak would have came out sliced already I wouldn't have ordered it. Worse thing you can do to a steak in my eyes. It loses moisture and gets cold fast. 2/5 for me. Flavor was ok. Nothing to rave about. As for the drinks, they are way over charged. $34 for an old fashioned using angles envy is pretty crazy. Expensive place. Not meeting the bar it prices.

I've enjoyed coming here over the years! From coffee dates to study sessions to my first drink with…read morefriends on my 21st bday, I've had some great memories here! Some of their speciality lattes (like the Remember Me one fall) have been so delicious that I've braved the trek downtown, searching for a parking spot in the middle of my workday, just to get one as an afternoon pick-me-up. I also love the 1885 drink, which is Dr Pepper + espresso. It sounds crazy, but a Waco girl loves it. I will say, ever since the inside was re-painted as a weird, tentacle-esque, purple and orange mural, the ambiance has tanked. It used to feel like a peaceful, vibey spot, especially at night or during the holidays. Now the walls make my skin crawl a bit. Maybe some people love it--I usually hear the opposite But it's still worth going for the drinks!

The Warehouse is truly built like a warehouse! This place is huge and uber spacious with TV's,…read moregames, and a small stage for live band performances. I first saw this spot while going to the Klassy Glass Wine Bar next door. I knew that I had to check it out before I left the area. When I walked in, I was really in awe of how spacious it was inside! This would be the perfect space for a dance floor. There's a small stage to your right that's used for the live bands that perform. The bar is lit up in blue and there are two large TV's that hang from the ceiling. There are several other TV's hanging on the back wall too, maybe about 10 TV's total? It's a great place to watch sports for sure. The warehouse feeling is very eminent with the sky high ceilings and industrial looking interior. In the back, you'll find a couple of different games. I can't recall all of them, but I'm pretty sure I saw a pool table back there. The bartenders are really friendly and interactive. Although this has been pegged as a "new bar", it seemed to have many regulars there who knew the bar crew (probably from the previous bar that was here called Muddle). The other people at the bar were really friendly also. I actually ended up meeting a few peeps there that I ended up going to Austin's a few doors down with. Although the crew and other patrons were cool, this place was super dead on a Saturday night! The rodeo and town fair were going on that weekend, but I still couldn't believe how empty this place was. As far as the drinks go, they are dirt cheap! My bill was under $10 that night! I had a cranberry vodka and a Stella Artois. The cranberry Vodka was a little too sweet for me, and I couldn't taste any vodka in my glass at all. This was kind of a disappointment. I was happy to pay a cheap price but not so thrilled that there was barely any alcohol. Overall, it's a solid option for cheap drinks and to watch sports. Maybe things will pick up a few months from now.
