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

    Great vegan restaurant - beautiful, elegant but well balanced decor. Patrick's service was excellent and I enjoy sitting on the well shaded patio- I had the vegan nachos- it was great and was a healthy portion- My only snippet was that I wished they'd offered more salads - or even a "make your own" salad- Not complaining- just my $0.02 - great place either way

    Early Valentines for my gf and I. Rob was a good server. Stood away from the table tho. Manager came by to check on us. I think I caught a bad Tuesday beer day. because my old fashion was great.We ordered a fight of beers . Only OK. Burgers were good. Ice Cream Oreo pie (recommended by Rob) was too cold ...my girlfriend let it thaw and it made a great comeback. Like I said, if we come back on a Friday or game night the place will be jumping. Overall it's a Big nice spot to come kick it.
