    TL;DR - cute ambiance, loud music, slow service, screwed us over with a seating arrangement far too small for our reservation and didn’t accommodate. Made a reservation for 14 weeks in advance for my birthday and called the week of to confirm the reservation and that a group our size could be accommodated and was assured that I was all set and specifically told we were going to be put in a large section next to the bar. When we arrived we were informed that we’d only have our spot for an hour and a half which I was not made aware of ahead of time but whatever. And then they sat us in a booth next to the DJ that could “fit 10 if we are all really close and were willing to squeeze.” And the manager’s solution when we pointed out that wasn’t going to work was to bring two extra chairs that jutted out into the walkway. We were told that’s the best they could do. So most of us ended up just awkwardly standing in the general area of the booth and in the way of every server trying to get by. All of our group was there on time but by the time they got our first round of drinks to us we were already 50 minutes into our 90 minute reservation. Overall a pretty disappointing experience.

    Absolutely loved this one-of-a-kind place!! Rachel was the sweetest and we can’t wait to be back the next time we’re in ATX! The small bites blew us out of the water and the new drink menu was perfect. Amazing ambiance and overall environment. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

    The atmosphere is so good here! The drinks are interesting but they have had better in the past. My main issue was we were a big group and had several cocktails and food items and our table was not bussed the entire time we were there 2hrs. Our server was very busy (the only one for the entire room) but I saw the manager who could’ve helped or called in someone to bus the tables. It’s just too expensive of a place for details like that to fly with me.

    Power Room made my birthday one for the books! They went above and beyond to accommodate my big party by combining two reservations—so grateful for how seamless they made it. The vibe was unmatched all night long, and that matcha cocktail? Chef’s kiss. Everything from the service to the drinks to the energy in the room was perfect. Can’t wait to come back!
