Odd place... The Fifty-Niner is one of like 4 businesses in one location. There's the game store,…read moreice cream shop, The Fifty-Niner and a theater (https://springsensembletheatre.org/). The 59er is a "speakeasy" for gamers. Not sure why it's considered a speakeasy though because you can just walk from the game shop or ice cream shop into it. Nothing sneaky about it. Not sure how they make money as it seemed that people camp out here for hours playing D&D and Magic. [Also strange that I saw people bring in their own beer - seems like that could jeopardize their license] The food was ok. Nothing to write home about. I did have their grilled cheese sandwich. I don't recall all that it had on it other than a jam and a brie. It was tasty but the ingredients seemed really really stingy. The sandwich would have been better with a better melting cheese. The employees we've met (once for ice cream and once for The 59er), have been nice but also STRESSED. They don't have enough help. They're running around trying to manage all the different aspects of the space. There will often be a lengthy wait on ice cream because they're serving food in the back, helping in the game shop. I bet they'd have less shoplifting and more visitors if they had more staff to give a better experience.

I've been to this place acouple of times since they opened about a year ago. Nothing special or…read morecool about this place, at all. Only thing that makes this lounge unique is its a Tequila bar in a town known for Whiskey. The 2 of us decided to go on a day we had no idea was an event weekend going on, Frontier Days! Street was blocked off but we still managed to grab lunch at Thunder & Buttons & then stop for a drink at this lounge Agave. It wasn't crowded, as usual. It never really is but at least you don't have to worry about not having a place to sit. Anyways, we weren't there for not even 40 min cause they let us know they'd be closing soon for a private event. We had time enough to sit order 2 House Margaritas. I ordered the traditional which was disappointing, it was on the tart side & tasted more of the mix. The 2 shots that we ordered after, 1800 Crystal, which is supposed to be very smooth tequila turn out to be very rough in taste like it had been sitting open for some time, it tasted old...it was disappointing. When it came down to the check; the $46 for the disappointing drinks wasn't an issue at all, what I had issue with & questioned was that Auto (20%) Gratuity! I felt it was presumptuous of them to think that they assumed I'd want to give an almost $10 tip for what??? We weren't waited on & I certainly wasn't that impressed...A Tip has everything to do with that! And it should NEVER be assumed or considered automatic!!! Also, on the receipt it specifically stated that for a party of 6 or more a 20% is automatically Added, we'll it was just 2 of us. So we questioned a waitress & her explanation was that because of the event taking place that weekend, Frontier Days, that 20% Gratuity was a mandatory event fee!!! So basically, they were ignoring their own statements about 6 or people thats clearly printed on Receipt & deciding to take advantage of a weekend event to Extort money from their customers by basically charging an Entry Fee with their mandatory 20% Gratuity !?! TFBS!!! For a business to seize on an event & find it as an opportunity to take advantage of their own business policy as a way to extort more money off of the few extra customers you may get tells the low values your business has! Who knows what other illegal or nefarious things take place or that you do in how you run your business. Not only have you lost acouple of local patrons but we would never refer anyone visit your place except the BBB & acouple of other 3 letter depts!!!!

Drinks were good, bartenders were nice. But the aesthetic of the place is more deserted pizza…read moreparlor than speakeasy. If they are going to claim to have a theme like "the archives", there should at least be some old books around, or wallpaper of books, or historic newspaper clippings, or more framed old photos. Actually any kind of decor at all would better than this stark boring room. As of now, you just feel like you are sitting in some old basement with a few pictures thrown on the wall as an after thought. Happy hour pricing is a good deal though.

Also a great way to try a bunch of cocktails. $5! What a steal! Our server was really nice and the drinks came out pretty quick along with our food. My only complaint is that the truffle fries were cold and limpy. They were great.... Also the truffle flavor was nonexistent. And my chicken tasted kinda fishy and the batter came off. So obviously they weren't battered correctly. But if you don't count the food, this place is pretty good!

We started with a glass of Prosecco and then did wine flights. They have a ton of great combinations and themes for their flights - and they also have a whiskey flight if you're not a wine drinker.

The first time I was there was many years ago, when the warm fireplace with couches was a centerpiece and memorable. It's upstairs, off the street, windows looking out. I finally made it back with a friend, and we had a great time; however, as John C. said in his comments, I can relate to the (still current) problems they seem to be facing with only one employee available, and no one to make the cheese fondue we were looking forward to. We settled for a cheese and hummus & olive plates, which were good, just not what we wanted. I do not recall the fireplace going. There were a couple of other parties seated at tables, and it seemed as though our server was a bit overwhelmed. He did know about the wine, which we appreciated. I do not wish to write off this special place and am hopeful they will make improvements based on reviews like this one.

However, the last time I went there (in 2024), we had a young man who was very rude serving us. He did not bring our drinks to us until one of us had to go ask him for our order! It seemed as though he may have been resentful, as our drinks were mediocre to bad - tasted like no alcohol - with hardly any volume...yet our bill - for only three drinks - was outlandishly high!! I was so disappointed and, frankly, embarrassed for District Elleven. How I wish I could have some kind of reassurance that this kind of thing would not happen again, so I would be moved to go back...the ambience gave me the best vibe being there, and that is an accomplishment in itself. A++ for ambience (and previously, also for drinks and food from next door); but now, F for service and drinks - so sad.
