    Didn’t know what to expect, but overall ambience was good, but didn’t blow me away. Upscale speak easy esque experience. they do take your phones. put the address into your uber instead of just powder room or it will take you to the wrong location.

    We had such a fun time! Only complaint would be the urge to get to your reservation on time and holding a fee when your reservation wasn’t ready and it made our group lose time there. a few of the drinks we were unable to order but the drinks we did try were pretty good!

    The experience was more than we ever expected and seeing the atmosphere firsthand was better than any Google photos currently online! If you want to get to know someone or have a conversation, that’s uninterrupted by cell phones this is the place to be!

    Powder room is just stunning! It is absolutely one of the prettiest speakeasies I have been to in Austin, I was floored by the decor. The staff was also fabulous - Siobhan was my waitress and she was gorgeous, friendly, and gave great drink recs! Overall I would absolutely rec a visit to powder room; despite the “no phone” policy (they literally take your phone when you arrive and put it in a locker lol) it’s an excellent experience, and the drinks are super fun. A must visit!!

    Friendly and attentive staff. Tried our waitress’ drink recommendation and was not disappointed. Lovely ambiance and a big fan of the no phones policy. Looking forward to my next visit!

    Service was great, loved our server. I don’t remember his name but he has long blonde hair. Cocktails were amazing too of course. The decor was very vintage safari and the atmosphere was very appeasing.

    Worst drinks ever!!! Is alcohol even used in them?!? We got their recommended strongest cocktails, and they were so weak. The vibe and ambience are stellar but we'd never go back to pay $18-25 for a drink that's sugar water. Plus, the no phone thing is trite.

    This was my second time here with another poor experience. This time I got an entire drink poured on my head/back accidentally from a server and nothing was done about it. Additionally they removed us from our table less than an hour after our reservation for the next party without telling us.

    We had a reservation at 10pm and weren’t seated until 10:35pm. Ordered 4 different drinks, not 1 was even decent. They let far too many people in given the size of the space. It’s got amazing design, but you can’t appreciate it given the sea of people. They were blaring techno music, and we couldn’t hear each other at our tiny table. The floor and tables were sticky with spilled drinks. We left within 15 minutes of sitting down. It’s no speakeasy or cocktail lounge, it’s a club with terrible drinks. The staff was also not impressive or particularly nice, but who would be given the mess they work in? Seems like they are very confused on what they are attempting to deliver. I’ll be shocked if it lasts.

    I love this place. I would love to go hear a good jazz band or soulful band play here.
