    It's was a good experience. The atmosphere was so amazing. Felt like I was in new york or chicago.

    Love the ambiance!

    Amazing place! Cool vibes, great cocktails and service. Check it out, lots of great shows too!

    White Wedding with tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes and basil added
    Carolyn D.

    This review is just for the pizza since I haven't been able to catch a live show yet. However, the pizza is legitimately good. Sticky fingers is sweet and tangy, sweet from the apricot jam, tangy from the goat cheese, and definitely not something you'll find at most (or any?) other pizza joints in town. The White Wedding is probably just fine on it's own, but I've been trying to recreate a favorite pizza from back home and this was a good base. Add some fresh tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, and basil and it's nearly perfect to what I'm craving in a pizza. It's not the cheapest pizza delivery, and they're all 12" pizzas so if you're feeding a crowd expect to spend $$. Mostly I'm just glad to support another local place with good food.

    Old Fashioned!

    I went for the firsst time last night and really enjoyed the atmosphere! There was a DJ playing great 80s beats and everyone was all smiles! My wife and I each ordered old fashioned and thought they were great! am definitely going to come back and I can't wait to see some live entertainment there!

    Great beer choices and craft cocktails, (loved the gimlet fizz). Nice outdoor area, and super-friendly bartender.

    The venue is one-of-a-kind and after we discovered the new pizza restaurant upstairs, it became a go to when I'm in town.

    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.

The atmosphere provides an enjoyable ambiance that'll keep you coming back. The servers here are genuinely wonderful people, making the experience even more special.

    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!!!!

    Now unfortunately I don't have a ton to say. My friend and I stopped in to grab a glass of wine…read morebefore a play. We got there right when they opened so we had the place to ourselves. It was pretty magical since it was absolutely adorable in there. There were two staff members who were so cool. One (of course I don't remember the name because I'm the WORST with names) was so friendly and talked to us for a while. They made some recommendations, chatted for a little, and really made out short time there really lovely. 100% will be back for dessert and a glass of wine.

    It pains me to write this review, as the Upstairs Wine Bar has been our regular spot for years -…read moreafter we stumbled upon it like some best-kept secret. Discovering new wines, great breads and charcuterie - with an atmosphere that gave the impression of Italian getaway, the Upstairs Wine Bar was, in a word, "special." Sitting by the warm fire, with classical music or Spanish Guitar filling the air, it was easy to see the owner's vision and it was well-executed. But that was before. This is now (our last three visits over the past 2 months): Loud club music banging. The hearth has gone cold. Missing art work draws attention to empty wall space. But these regressions are downright innocent compared to the service. I have only experienced a single individual working as a server during the past few visits, with another individual working behind the counter. Neither possesses any knowledge of the menu and (our server in particular) had clearly never been trained in wine service or service in general. No pours, just slaps the bottle down with two glasses and asks if we want anything else. But I need to backtrack, we first ask him about the wines, he can't answer a single question, to the point that we aren't even certain he's looked at the menu or even tasted the offerings. His manner is loose and unprofessional, brazen. He is dressed like The Crow, with his belly exposed, ready for a rave. This was consistent during all our visits. However, let me be clear, I don't care how anyone dresses in public, period. I don't care what gender you are or what gender you are attracted to. I don't judge unless I'm paying and wine service commands some degree of formality or at least basic etiquette, education of the menu notwithstanding. These qualities weren't discernable at the most basic level and did not improve with subsequent visits. However, there is one piece of knowledge our server was able to render: the lack of availability for many menu items, which would be the theme over our most recent visits. When we finally receive the meat and cheese plate, the prosciutto has been butchered and carved off in thick strips. We made it clear we DID NOT want one particular meat, which - of course - was one of the three on the plate, as the server either had no idea which one was which or simply forgot in the few seconds it took walk from our table to the kitchen. Finally, only ONE cheese was available of the 3 options, and this supply issue was given no explanation, but remained a problem during for our last three visits. Just to be transparent, it's about $100 for the two of us to enjoy a bottle of wine and small plate, so it's not exactly cheap - but this was a small price to pay for the atmosphere that has long since evaporated. What's replaced it has no business calling itself a wine bar. Sadly, we won't be returning - at least for some time - with the hopes that it can regain its standards. We eagerly await that reunion!
