About this restaurant

Great for creative cocktails
Lively
Fancy

Positioned on the East Side Beltline trail, The James Room is a dark and moody cocktail lounge that is meant to be a place where you can leave your stresses at the door and immerse in the energetic vibrations of our cozy and intimate space. Upon entry, an upscale coffee shop takes your gaze. During the day, the cafe intriguingly offers unique flavors such as sea salt lavender and rosemary sage, or you can opt for a classic vanilla or caramel addition to your joe if you fancy. A few paces away is an inconspicuous door disguised as a bookcase, leading to the speakeasy area equipped with a peculiar mood. The atmosphere feels intimate yet communal and invokes a sense of leisure. The fine leathers and premium seating upgrade your typical lounge visit to an elevated, exclusive treat. Once you get settled, indulge in our savory light bites and carefully hand-crafted cocktail menu...and if you're lucky, maybe even the sounds of a DJ spinning some of your favorite hits.

The host and our server, Jordan, truly made this an amazing experience. We were sat almost immediately, the server was very busy but still gave us a lot of attention, and food was surprisingly fast, fresh, and delicious. Will recommend to anyone

Music didn’t match the vibe. I mean I like 90 and 2000s rap but not what I anticipated for a cool speakeasy.

Our experience here was amazing! We went on a Tuesday and they had a dj playing good R&B music. It was a little loud for it to be a chill bar, but it was a lot of fun and everyone was dancing in their respective areas. Our service was amazing. Very attentive—And they give you water without asking! Huge plus for me. The Peach Cobbler was our go to drink. Definitely recommend! I had a reservation set, but most days I'm sure you can walk in. It was the perfect amount of people.

I love a good speakeasy. Cocktails were great. I didn’t eat so I can’t speak to the food this time. The music was a bit loud. I took a date there for a nightcap and we literally were yelling but were only 3 feet from each other. The music was cool, just waaaaaaaay too loud.

Came on a Wednesday evening. Great lighting and ambience for a cozy date night. The hostess was polite but only offered high table top seats that were a bit uncomfortable not sure how someone can sit there for a while two hours. We asked change to a couch and they said it was ok but it usually reserved for 3 or more people. So not rhetorical most comfortable date spot for two but overall I enjoyed myself. Very cute place, superior interior designing!

The ambiance is nice. I enjoyed the music, food, and drinks. We had a bad experience with the server bringing my friend a drink she didn't order and we were charged for an extra drink. But other than that we had a great time and I will go back
