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.

It was unique and complex. It hits you first with a spicy smack but immediately follows it up with a chocolaty/coffee aftertaste and fruit notes. The food was good too. Plenty of vegiterian and vegan options. We went with the corn flatbread (not its real name but I forgot) and it was great. It had a nice lime and paprika finish with sweat corn and chewy flatbread as the base. The server was very friendly and came over often to check on us. That combined with the great atmosphere made this a great experience. (Im a sucker for hanging lights and vines).

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!

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.
