    Absolutely beautiful ambiance. I was expecting it to be a lounge so was not expecting a club type scene but regardless was still amazing because the DJ was so good. Can’t wait to go back!

    Ambience is great and the concept of giving up your phone is fine if you can make sure the logistics work out. They gave me a key, as the end of the night my key opened up someone else’s case & they handed me 2 phones there weren’t mine. The two girls were very rude, took them 15 mins they couldn’t find my phone. They wouldn’t let me go back & look for my phone even though my Apple Watch was pining my phone. 15 mins finally I sent behind the desk & found my phone in 1 min. Really bad experience

    I didn’t eat, but I gave stars based on what I saw people ordering. We showed up a little late for our happy hour reservation but the hostess was understanding and accommodating. Overall a nice speakeasy

    Hidden gem. My only comment on this place - too bad you’re not in a true posh city. Excellent club, food, drinks, and atmosphere. Staff impeccably dressed amongst customers who don’t get it. This is a first rate urban club.

    Amazing find while in town! The entire team from hosts, manager to our waitress were amazing - so refreshing! We arrived to a fantastic happy hour that started this week. Food was delicious - we cancelled our actual dinner reservation to indulge in more items and seconds of the tenderloin w/ mole :) The place is gorgeous. A vibe, only request is to dim the lights more for ambiance. We will be back for next time in Austin.

    The temperature was so warm that my guests were very uncomfortable. I was embarrassed and when we went to the next place they complained to me about how long we were there.

    I had a great time at Powder Room in Austin! The vibe was bumping, and I appreciated the good cocktail selection. While the cocktails weren't quite as good as expected for the price, and some were a bit too sweet for our group's taste, it was still a fun experience. The space was much larger and more lively than I had anticipated, which was a pleasant surprise. The music selection was also really fun. It turned out to be a great spot to hang out for an after-dinner drink with our adult kids
