    Super fun vibe with good food and drinks! Appreciated the entrance experience and the service was fantastic.

    New date night fave! This speakeasy is a hidden, intimate space with dim lighting, beautiful decor fitting for the Confessional theme, and high-end craft cocktails / cigar lounge. Food options are so good and pair perfectly with their drink menu. Service is top notch, just super attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend!

    Good and bad. The good : cool factor, excellent food, excellent cocktails. The bad: prices are high. I understand the LARP and the need to be exclusive but at some time when my money is green and I want to keep spending it, there should be no limit on my time. Unfortunately, as a tapas model, I wanted to continue eating and drinking but was surprised with a time limit. We wanted to have a cigar after (more money) but there was a party in the cigar room (they weren't smoking) and we couldn't go in. I wasn't told about a time limit and I wasn't told that I needed to add a reservation to have a cigar. With these prices, you need to adapt to your clientele.

    Such a fun experience, especially when something like this in the IE where you would have to drive far for something of this caliber. The food was very well game planned, the cocktails were very good, and the ambiance was very cool. The folks working definitely were very attentive and had some great suggestions. Bring a cigar too!

    Man this is the best bar/speakeasy I've been to. Vibes are fantastic. Cigar lounge is the place to be. 100/10

    Tried this spot out with a friend one evening and immediately realized this became a go to spot. The service was amazing, better than any bar or speakeasy I've been too. They offer a great selection of drinks and small menu for appetizer like foods. This might be one of the few places in Upland that you can smoke cigars since they have a small lounge that comfortably fits about 6-7 people. Can't wait to go back.

    Upscale speakeasy-style bourbon and cigar lounge that feel more Las Vegas than Upland.

    We stopped by on a Sunday evening to check out this speakeasy and were surprised to find they had a…read morelive DJ that night for their CREAM Sundays event. They even offer a special cocktail menu just for these evenings. None of the featured drinks seemed appealing to us, so I ordered a Lemon Drop while my husband went with an Old Fashioned. The space is intimate, cozy, and beautifully decorated with a New Mexico inspired vibe that gives it a unique touch. The bartender was super nice, and the music was great all night. It was definitely more of a lively atmosphere, so conversation was a bit difficult at times due to the volume, but we still had a wonderful time enjoying the drinks and music. Overall, it was a fun experience, and we're glad we stopped by. We'd love to come back on a non Sunday evening to experience the speakeasy in a different setting.

    From the reviews I had really high expectation for this place. Its in the corner by Native Sons…read more You sign in at the podium. They dont allow any food to be brought in which is crazy because you are in a food hall. So plan accordingly. They do serve unlimited amounts of their popcorn which tasted pretty good. They have some heat to them!! This is like an Arizona or Mew Mexo themed type speakeasy. I love their decor. With the fireplace and the animal skulls and animal skins everywhere. I just love how it looked. Theres an exit to the outside patio area which is nice, since this place stays open longer than most of the shops in Haven City. Only problem is if theyre playing music outside, every time the door opens it is so loud!! Like annoyingly blow my ear drums loud. Their drinks are very southwest themed. They have a lot of drink options to choose from. We ordered their blue sky and silver cloud. Presentation looked pretty. But the drinks were not that great. I had their silver cloud which had a mango foam on top. Tasted great, till you mixed it into the drink. The drink was way to smokey. It was so smokey it was almost bitter. I get a little smoke. But it was way too much. Any notes of mango or fruit or sweetness was lost in the smoke. The blue sky looked pretty. But after having a sip of the silver cloud it killed my taste buds. I couldn't taste anything in the blue sky. After our first round of drinks we were done. Had to go home and make myself an extremely sweet drink to get my taste buds back..... its a great concept. The price point is reasonable. 16 dollars for each drink. I do love the decor. But the vibes from the outside is distracting. If your into mezcals and smokey drinks this place is for you. But it unfortunately was not my cup of tea.

Thank the Lord we were only a few doors down, we never would have made it in our heels. My reservation that I made changed 3 times, only to add more people to our reservation that same day. Never once did they complain or state that they could not accommodate us. Once we all trickled in, it was about 18 people. Our tables were ready. I believe our waitress name was Jude, but nonetheless, she definitely was a jewel. She informed us that they were short staff, but she would take our orders. She accommodated every single one of us, never messing up or mixing up the orders, when ask for extras, she got them out immediately and to add to all of this the food was excellent. If you ever get a chance to stop by Studio Four29 I highly recommend it, not just for the food, but also the service. Bravo to our waitress she was on point. Sorry no pictures, by the time we thought about it, you would've just had pictures of empty plates.

The way it was going to be prepared was with spring mix, which I don't prefer. I asked for a spicy skinny margarita, and they were able to accommodate me for that as well! Yummy! The reason for the four stars is because the parking lot is extremely dark and sketchy looking. Unfortunately, I don't feel safe outside there. I feel like it could easily be fixed with an investment in better lighting outdoors.

The food was mediocre but preferred the "on the spot" chef selection where we could order, chilaquiles, fresh tacos, omelets, and quesadillas. The menudo seemed as if it were sitting in the warmer so long it created a dry, thick layer at the top from sitting there for who knows how long. The churros were hard, unsweetened fruits, and dry macaroni salad. The tacos, quesadillas, and chef made eggs were tasteful. The waitress was very attentive and constantly changing out of dishes. Perhaps this day was a fluke as the hostess mentioned they are usually crowded but it was pretty empty when we arrive at 12:30. The do have a pretty large TV in the room next to the bar area and a stage under. Flyers were noted stating Banda on Saturday nights. Overall, the of lack of customers may have resulted in lack of turn around with their buffet...we may try it again soon but overall 3 stars for the service and the cooked food items.
