    Second time at this bar. I still love it. They nailed the classic cocktail French 75. I got a seasonal drink Tiger's blood, it's like a fruit juice, not too much alcohol but it's still refreshing.

    A well crafted whiskey cocktail

    I had always wanted to see this place that I've heard so much about. It turned out to be better than expected. From the atmosphere to the very knowledgeable bartenders creating amazing drinks. This is definitely a place I shall be returning to without a doubt.

    The whole place is cozy and elegant. The bartenders were so friendly, and made excellent cocktails. The cigar lounge was the most fun for me; getting to enjoy a cocktail while chatting up the night shift before they clocked in felt like home away from home, I loved it! It's a great place for a date with your favorite person, or a group of friends.

    I didn't go to the speakeasy because I really enjoyed the atmosphere, service and how fun the 2 lovely bartenders were while I was sitting at the main floor bar. I will definitely go back when I'm in town. Update, I went back again because I was still in town the next night. This time I took some pics of my fun drinks

    Such a cool, unique place! Craft cocktails and the ambiance is the perfect vibe for relaxing and enjoying life's moments! Love the secret moving bookcase giving access to a hidden bar! We enjoyed drinks two nights in a row while on a business trip. Tip - nitrogen refill is on Wednesdays - best foamed drink ever!! Tuesday they were out of the nitrogen....

    I came on June 9th with my friend for her birthday (we met up with some other friends there so- 6 of us all together) apparently they are re-doing the 'actual speakeasy' part where you enter through a book case. I was a bit disappointed that we couldnt check that part out when we went but our waitress said it should be open soon. The vibe was chill but because space was limited due to renovations ~ it was a bit crowded and very loud. Our 6 people couldn't really sit entirely together and because of the set up in the main bar area, it can kind of feel awkward/out of place with some people in the same seating area, not part of your party, or giving you weird looks. The drinks were okay (i was DD so i didnt order my own just a few sips from friends.) I had hoped for a bigger drink selection on the menu (possibly even a mocktail) but didnt see any. The bar service was kinda slow but it seemed mildly understaffed for how crowded the place was (even though they were renovating) The place had cool vibes and good potential. I could see it being really awesome if there was more space but if this place is on your list; i'd wait until they open the rest of the speakeasy to check it out.

    A nice spot to have to have a drink with friends. The ambience is perfect- cozy seating, beautiful decor, and an excellent selection of drinks, and BOOKS. We went on a weekend, and while there was a good crowd, it was not overwhelming. Parking wasn't too difficult, as we were able to park 2 blocks over. The drinks were great - we had sampled several, and loved that there was something for everyone. Whether you're a fan of something bourbon, something with gin, or something non alcoholic, they have a selection that is inclusive and unique. The downside was the service. Incredibly slow. We were able to grab a seat after about 15 minutes of standing, right in front of the bar staff. They took our order, and then the wait began. It was about 20 minutes since we had gotten our first drinks. The thing that got us is the drinks were made at the staffs convenience; they chatted for a few minutes, made drinks for themselves, and then we got a "oh so sorry for the wait" and THEN we were able to get our drinks. This went on for the duration of the night. At one point, there were several others wondering why the pace was so slow. When we went to close out, same deal- after they had their conversation, made more drinks for themselves, then we were finally able to close out. While the drinks were great and the ambience was great, the pain point was definitely the service. We may try again in a couple of weeks, but if we see the same staff that was there when we visited, we may opt for another spot.

    Is it purely 21+?

    Yes. Papa Mike Fort Worth's Concierge ( YouTube )

    Would it be frowned upon if I visited and didn't buy a drink? I am over 21, but prefer not to drink. I would love to check the place out and enjoy the atmosphere. I saw that there may be cheesecake?

    It's not mandatory to drink there. Stop by and enjoy the music, people, and atmosphere.

    What are the hours of the speakeasy portion of the bar?

    The downstairs Speakeasy is open Wednesday and Thursday 7pm-midnight and Friday and Saturday 7pm-2am.

    Is there a dress code. I'm visiting and only brought jeans/tee attire?

    Jeans and a T-Shirt are fine.

    How can you get password for the speakeasy part? Can't find any on Facebook that I can see anyways? Is it only on certain days? Thanks

But from the very first phone call, Sophie at Blackland Distillery showed nothing but grace and patience. She allowed us to keep pushing back our reservation without a hint of frustration, and that alone deserves a standing ovation. When we finally arrived, what could've been a ruined evening turned into one of the most memorable nights we've had. Every single person we encountered at Blackland was incredibly kind and welcoming. Marshall greeted us with warmth, and Jeremy? He's not just a bartender--he's a cocktail artist. The drinks he crafted for us were next-level, easily some of the best we've ever had. He truly understands spirits and how to elevate them. We were genuinely torn when it was time to leave for our dinner reservation at Wicked Butcher--honestly, we could've stayed sipping Jeremy's creations all night. Before we left, we got to meet Sophie in person (she stuck around!), and by that time, we had sampled every single spirit Blackland offers. Each one was exceptional--smooth, bold, and full of character. Take home message: Top-tier spirits, an amazing vibe, and a team that genuinely cares--Blackland Distillery turned a stressful day into an unforgettable celebration. We'll be back... and next time, we're staying all night.
