My husband and I came here for the first time last Saturday, and unfortunately, it was a pretty…read moredisappointing experience overall. The noise level was extremely high...we literally had to yell just to have a conversation with each other. Service was also very slow. It took about 15 minutes just to be acknowledged at the bar, and close to 30 minutes to actually receive a drink. When I finally ordered, I told the bartender to make her favorite drink. She made something that included raw egg whites (which I later learned is common in certain cocktails), but it wasn't mentioned or explained at the time. A few hours later, I became very sick...vomiting and dealing with what felt like severe food poisoning all night and through the next 24 hours. After looking into it, I suspect it may have been related to the raw egg used in the drink. Just something to be aware of if you're ordering drinks like a whiskey sour or anything that may include egg whites. After getting our receipt (which you need for the speakeasy entry code), we checked out the speakeasy portion, but the vibe there wasn't great either..pretty must the same as the other part of the bar. We ended up leaving within about five minutes. Overall, the experience didn't live up to the hype for us....between the noise, long wait times, and how we were treated, it just wasn't enjoyable. For comparison, the bar next door, Archibald, felt much more welcoming. Maybe regulars have a different experience, but as first-time guests, we were not impressed.

Yelp Elite Event…read more... I tell you, Kendall, once again, you put together such a wonderful evening. It is always wonderful to see our Elite Family. I love West Jax! The environment is relaxing and classy, and it was the perfect place for a night out. Customer Service: Always top-notch! Brittney, our server, was always present and was able to help me choose the perfect drink that matched what I desired. I wanted a Whiskey Sour, and because they did not have that on the menu, she suggested the Smoked Rosemary Blackberry Bourbon Sour. She was spot on; it was delicious, and it was my first time to have a smoked drink. It was different, and every drop was enjoyed. Our entertainment for the evening was Clover the Violinist. She is FULL of talent and kept our tunes going the whole night; she perfectly mastered all genres. I was happy to find out, she plays at that location occasionally. I'd love to support her, when able. She played a bit of SZA, Justin Beiber, Chris Brown, Chris Stapleton, etc. What a great night of entertainment! The Food: Crave Cookies - Thank you, Crave. I appreciate you adding to our beautiful night with your cookies. Perrotti's Pizza: Thank you, Perrotti's. I appreciate you treating us to pizza! What a great night!!

I also like that there's a parking lot in the back.

I'll name some drinks but I'll also tell you the menu changes. Pirates pearl, delicious, Espresso Martini from both Becca and Derrick one was more sweet one was more coffee Based.

All the bartenders are fabulous but I always chat most and ask for Becca and Derek. It looks like you've stepped back in time when you walk in, don't worry you didn't break the matrix... it's just the Amber Room. My favorite spot in Fort Worth.

When you walk in you are met with what appears to be a hot dog spot (which I have heard has awesome food but I haven't been so that will be another visit) but if you look to your left there is a green door that leads you to Cru. Once inside it's dark as most lounges are and there are no windows. The tables are more like lit up boxes that you would sit a drink on versus eating from. The staff were all great, they made suggestions and were friendly, told us if we wanted hookah that we needed to be prepared to wait 20-30 minutes for them to get it together. So I asked about the bottomless mimosas and I was informed it's not technically bottomless. They bring a carafe and then you get two refills. You do get to choose between pineapple, oJ, and cranberry but they use brut so I decided on a cocktail. I also got the southern peach and she asked if I wanted vodka or whiskey which I greatly appreciated because I didn't want the vodka. I also ordered the fish and grits but I asked if the sauce could be put on the side. She told me no problem, however when my food arrived there was no sauce on the side. There also were no condiments (hot sauce, butter), some of us got our food on a pretty plastic plate and others got their food in to go containers (although we all were eating there). I got plastic silverware and no extra napkins. With all of that said, the grits were seasoned very well as was the fish. Sadly some of the ladies had been waiting for a long time and we were informed that there was only one person in the kitchen and that they couldn't get anyone to come in and help. So at times we did see that the waitresses were also the bartenders and the staff were being run thin. It's 2 o'clock and we are still waiting on the DJ to show up to get the karaoke started. It was almost 3 when he finally showed up and it started a little shaky. After the first song, things seemed to pick up a little, there was line dancing taking place and the singing seemed to finally work itself out. This place has SO MUCH potential so I'm hoping that they can work out the kinks and be a nice little spot to hang out with friends.

There is plenty of parking, and they are located in a little shopping center right by AMC. When you first walk in, there is a hot dog spot. This is not affiliated with Cru. There is a sign that says Cru this way. Follow the sign. When you walk in, it is a square room sitting against the walls and in the center of the room. But there is still enough room for some line dancing. On Sunday, they have karaoke, but if you do an older song, you may have to look up the words on your phone. It is supposed to start at 2, it did not start until 3. While we waited for karaoke to srart, the staff made sure we had drinks and were very attentive and friendly. If you have a party of 20 and you want to eat.. you may have more of a challenge. Unfortunately, the latter was my experience. Some of the folks from my party had to wait over an hour to eat because there was only one cook. Now the cook did his thing. The food was great and hot when it came out. This place has a lot of potential, especially if they are appropriately staffed.

The man and I were in the mood for something simpler and ordered 2 double Tito's with plain water and lime. Simple, easy, cheap. So we thought.

But we literally had the same drink order at two other locations downtown with totals in the $20-26 range for both drinks.
