Thank you Rachel you made sure we all had a good time. We'll see you again soon dig your vibe.

A great vibe inside, but the hostess lady was very rude and had a vibe about her that she was better than us which honestly ruined the whole experience for us. read more

Beautiful atmosphere and lots of pretty faces to look at. Drinks were the best and the staff always super friendly. Kai really kept us laughing made sure our area was pristine. Will be back next week! read more

Very nice spot! The place has a lot of class, great for relaxing! It was awesome to not be on the phone or to have the glare of a phone in your peripheral vision. Music was very nice lots of variety in song stylings, but I really vibed with the atmosphere when jazzy house music or something like it played. 10 out of 10 for me! read more

We went for Cocktails and they were awesome the atmosphere was amazing. One thing is the lock your phones up, so if you go on a date you are actually going to have to talk to one another I thought it was a great idea. My Service was amazing the drinks that were recommended were amazing 10/10 for me read more

We had the best time at Powder Room tonight! Adam was phenomenal, so knowledgeable of the menu and really listened to our preferences and made the perfect recommendations. Food was delicious, just the perfect amount to take the edge off and complement the cocktails. Loved that we had to check our phones and just be present in the moment, the space and with each other! Can't recommend this spot enough! A must visit when in Austin! read more

The ambience and bar itself is cool - nice decor. Service was a miss, our server changed numerous times and disappeared to the back only to reappear 30 minutes later like they never left. Didn't have food. 2 seemingly "regulars" came in and so every girl waitress had to take their turn going to say hi which likely caused a backlog. Odd for an upscale bar to refill their Aesop bottles with regular pink hand soap though...just get normal dispensers instead of trying to come off like you're using luxe soap? It was a weird experience in that aspect...definitely lowered the vibe. read more

Positives: The menu is cute and I like that they take your phones before you walk in. We were here for the soft opening awhile back and sat at a table and that was a good experience. The ambiance is great and I love the vibe. I got a good cocktail recommendation tonight. Negatives: We walked in and sat at the bar and from the start the bartenders were complaining about their work schedule and cocktails, which is not really the energy I was looking for. I get it but just talk about that stuff in the back where patrons can't hear every word you're saying. They also messed up like 3 separate drinks from other tables while we were there. My partner ordered a Bat Out Of Hell which has "ice optional" and comes with seasoned chickpeas. He received the drink and when he asked for ice the woman that was bartending snapped and said "just so you know that doesn't come with ice". Which 1) it doesn't really matter? I just want ice? And 2) when he said "oh well it says it on your menu" she said "ha I promise it doesn't". I just think the interaction was completely weird and unnecessary. Then they never brought out the chickpeas and when we asked for them they ran out and brought us chips which is fine but it was like 8:00pm??? The woman who was bartending just ruined the experience for me because it felt awkward after that and no one said bye when we left. TLDR: cute bar and menu, would never sit at the bar top again. read more

As a content creator, taking my phone was stressful lol but I'm happy they did. I had the best chat with my friends. This place was so great. I love an aesthetically pleasing place. The drinks were top tier. I had a couple drinks off-menu but they did disappoint. My server was Melody! If you can request anyone, plz request her. She was prompt, personable and over all very great at her job. Cant wait to come back. read more

Cool spot. Great atmosphere and people. Make sure to go early or make a reservation since it can be hard to get in

What a cool hang out! I took my friend here to celebrate getting a new job, and we had an amazing time. Our server Adam was incredibly friendly, took the time to get to know us, and made the night super special. I always appreciate a menu with no and low alcohol options. If I have a critique, it's that I wish there was a menu available online just so I could remember what I had. I'll definitely be returning. read more

The best energy and vibes. Also don't be scared when they take your phone it's actually relaxing. The best snacks and bites (get the grilled cheese and the cookies ) it's soooo good. Adam was so helpful in what drinks we should get and also the order to have them. He described them so well and we literally couldn't miss with each drink. The decor will make you want to redecorate and the noise level was perfection. Love place and coming back for my birthday! read more

Took our phones away. Someone took our table and no one did anything about it. The hostess was so rude at the front of the place when checking us out read more

While the vibe in this place was insane, decorations were nice and the lighting was amazing, the music was horrible. I went here for my birthday, as our first bar on 6th st. On top of the bartenders not knowing what a sidecar is, we ended up getting charged almost $40 for a singular drink. Our waitress was rude, and for our party of only 5 they forced gratuity on all of us, so they could act however they wanted. The entire staff kept side eyeing and mean mugging us while we were just trying to enjoy ourselves. And to add insult to injury, I paid cash for my singular $32 sidecar, and our server had the gall to ask if I wanted change! Absolute nightmare, don't come here if you want to drink and enjoy your night. read more

Very cool speakeasy with good tasting drinks. The vibe was immaculate and the decor transported you. The only con is that their drinks are quite pricey and the quantity is small read more

Dude at the door said "to dress for a venture capital anniversary" when I had a collared shirt and pants on. Rude as hell and even insulted the group in front of us. Only venture he looks like he should take is on a treadmill. Train better front of staff. read more

Great drinks and ambiance! Brought my best friend here from New York and our server Rachel made our experience wonderful. She was very attentive and made us feel right at home. Definitely will be coming back!! read more

This was such a fun place to celebrate my birthday. Make sure to make a reservation as it gets quite packed.

I have the best time at powder room. The vibes are great and staff is so friendly! My server Angel made sure our night was enjoyable and perfect! We will be back! read more

Great ambience, fun drinks and outstanding service. A great location for business happy hour.

Came here on a Saturday night to find a line of 15-20 people, very mixed crowed when it came to ages and attire. It does not seem like the powder room has found its niche for clientele. Waited in line an obscenely long time only to enter to see the bar half filled. We had called to make reservations in advance, and were told they were booked solid. Yet, there were empty tables everywhere and they would not let us sit or make a reservation. I understand the vibe they are going for- but to treat people and the line as if you're an exclusive club, only to have empty tables and rude bouncers isn't going to attract the type of business you're looking for. I imagine this place won't stay open long if they don't make major changes. - They also take your phones- which leans into the privacy and "speakeasy" vibe- but there was nothing inside the club I would have wanted to photograph anyways- so it seems like a hype just to be let down. The menu is a faux magazine and very confusing to try to find drinks on with the dim lights and overcrowded pages. Cater to your client's experience and work on customer service instead of treating attendees rudely. read more

Classy, no phones allowed, and nice staff. Definitely get a reservation a week in advance. Entrance is hidden.

Best lounge in Austin. Great aesthetic and design. Amazing staff. The food out front was really good - I recommend The Rachel sandwich.

Gorgeous interior! Loved the dim lighting and that classic feel Drinks and service were both good, and we really appreciated the cellphone-free policy (we checked our phones at the front desk). I love the idea of table-side cocktails; their signature cocktails and the menu style are so neat! read more

First time and I absolutely loved it! Went right before it got busy (9:30ish) and it was perfect timing. The drinks were all so amazing, the menu was so creative, vibes were immaculate and the staff was so sweet! I absolutely love the idea of no phones- takes you back in time and I didn't even feel like I was in Austin for a second. Our server, Adam, was such a sweetheart and guided us throughout the evening. They even went the extra mile for me- I forgot my hair tie and one of the hosts let me borrow her hair clip. Such a kind and little gesture that meant a lot! Felt very welcome here. Can't wait to come back to Austin and try more drinks! read more

Incredible new bar located tucked away behind a diner. The vibe when you walk in is astounding and the service was pretty incredible too. I was a little surprised when they asked to hold our phones but honestly it was the perfect idea. My husband and I enjoyed a great conversation with no distractions. I got their Mezcal drink (I can't remember the name) and my husband got their version of an old fashioned both of which were super delicious. read more

It's giving Austin powers, great gatsby vibes. I'm a big fan of their no phone policy...talk to your friends people. Really enjoyed the Spicey gummy drink (I don't remember what it's called but it's not on the main cocktail page it's on a different page in their menu). But all the drinks I tasted were good and definitely strong. Housemade chips and dip from Mattie's and a great place to dress up if you like to do that every once in a while. I'll definitely be back, had a really good experience read more

This is such a cool spot in Austin! The ambiance and overall vibe is amazing and something special for Austin. It would be a great venue for a bachelor/bachelorette but also date night. I happened to go with some work colleagues and we had a blast. Didn't try the food but drinks are yummy. Service was good. Also pro tip: the sandwich shop outside (Manny's) has an unbelievable Cuban! read more

I came after the funeral for my late husband, Barry, with some friends. The server Rachel was quirky and fun. She knew a lot about the menu. She lifted my spirits. If only she could lift his. 5 stars. read more

No phones allowed so no pictures, but Powder Room was incredible and we can't wait to go back! The space is gorgeous and the cocktails are inspired and delicious. Also the chips and dip side was a perfect appetizer before heading out to dinner. We went early so the mood was chill and we could easily talk and enjoy our phone-less time together. Definitely will be back! Welcome addition to the downtown cocktail scene. read more

Amazing ambience and super comfortable. The drinks were amazing and our server, Madison, had the amazing skill to recommend the perfect drinks for our party. She was pleasant, and we never felt like we were being rushed. She checked on us often but her timing was perfect as we never felt interrupted. Great place, great service, great evening. read more

Amazing experience! The service was the absolute best thanks to Rachel! The food and ambiance will have me coming back!

This was one of the best and most fun nights of my life, thanks to Adam. He gave fantastic drink recommendations, his banter was incredible, he answered all of our (many!) questions, he gave thoughtful recommendations, and he was SO attentive throughout the night. Very polite, friendly, and conversational. Probably the best service I've ever received and he made the already incredible experience a million times better. Thank you Adam!!!! read more

We came in last minute for some drinks before dinner on friday last weekend, beautiful space and the hosts were very accommodating without us having a reservation. Our server was so sweet and had great recommendations for cocktails, will definitely be back! read more

Powder Room is exactly what Austin needs! Amazing ambience with a great DJ. The cocktails are impressive and the staff is incredibly welcoming. They take your phones upon entering, which I really enjoyed. It gives you and the people you are with to actually enjoy each others company and not just see life through your phone screen. Will definitely be back, over and over again! read more

New coolest place in town. The design and ambience is amazing. NYC or LA caliber speakeasy in Austin. The lights mimic a sunset going up and down, such a vibe. I've never seen anything like it before. I love the plants with the sun, it makes you feel like you're in Mexico. Make sure to try the Hollywood Husband if you like tequila Ps. Order the cookie to the table. So good. read more

I had a great experience at this establishment. Madison was great, and made me and my husband's time great. Will definitely come again.

Adam made this bar's experience for what it is. Impeccable service thank you :) It's also beautiful here and the drinks are so tasteful, but y'all already knew that. read more

I have tried going to this place on two occasions and honestly... it's not it. Don't get me wrong, the atmosphere is GORGEOUS & the music was great-- mainly house music. They do take your phones upon entry which is fine, but the staff seemed a bit pretentious and dry. Not necessarily friendly. The drinks are expensive & not great whatsoever. Extremely lackluster for the price ($20+) & their menu is so tiny yet confusing at the same time-- it's basically printed on a wet napkin magazine type of thing. The whole aesthetic seems a bit gimmicky but I see what they're trying to go for. Though if you're trying to replicate an elegant speakeasy vibe, I don't get why the menus look like that. My main issue with this place is the service. The front staff and the bartenders were not welcoming at all. The second time around, I brought my girlfriends (3 people total) to show them the ambience & see if we would have a better time as a group. They ID'd before going into Manny's, then ID'd at the door to Powder Room, then ID'd where they locked our phones, THEN ID'd HALFWAY when we're in the place! Literally chased us down like they forgot meanwhile a whole group of 6+ people walk right ahead of us and don't have to lock their phones or get ID'd. I asked the woman checking again why we have to get ID'd 4x and she said "it was just standard practice" meanwhile no one else had to do that. I still don't understand why that happened but it really turned us off being seemingly treated different. We left right after that bc that's kind of ridiculous as we are obviously over 21 as they confirmed 4x. I would suggest this place for larger groups but more for the dancing & ambience. If you're not expecting to order a bunch of drinks & just want to hang with friends this is probably the spot. Not sure why they take phones bc this is not the right place for mingling or meeting people. read more

Super cute & service was amazing! The Pina Colada fish drink is the best & the French Lieutenant drink was good as well, my new fav spot right now!! read more
