    I was invited by a friend to attend a 1950s-themed murder mystery in The Power Room (back room of Manny's Bar.) My first challenge was deciding what to wear. One thing was transparently clear, I was not about to spend money on an outfit that I would never use again. After some extensive "research" (mainly googling 1950s fashion and perusing my closet), I pieced together a respectable 1950s outfit. Upon entering The Power Room, we were instructed to surrender our cell phones. Wait...what? My phone is essentially my life line. I exhaled as I reluctantly handed over my phone. In addition, the event required a two-drink minimum, and the food options were fairly limited. Our server did an outstanding job keeping everyone's orders straight. Considering our group size, she deserved kudos. Drinks and food were good. At the end of the evening, awards were distributed for Best Suspect, Best Death Scene, and the team that successfully solved the murder mystery. One of our friends won Best Death Scene, proving that if you're going to be murdered, you should at least go out with flair. Now for our team... Let's just say the killer will not be losing any sleep over our investigative abilities as we did not solve the murder.

    Reservations seem to be for a guaranteed seat but that does not include comfortability. We were sat with another party and shared a couch. While the couple who was seated with us were lovely people, we were hoping to be somewhere on our own. Where we were seated was also across the bar and all we could see was the people standing around from the waist down. The crowd died down and the seating areas became available but most of the crowd was standing. Not sure if there's a dress code as there was a variety of different attire, from people in birks with shorts to dresses. This casual get up also downgrades the experience. Overall, it was just ok.

    We were so excited to check out this secrete lounge. It did not disappoint. Just go through Manny's, the sandwich shop, and you'll immediately see two metal doors right by the refrigerator. Come prepared to separate from your cell phones for an hour or so. Not going to lie, I had to prep myself mentally for a year before coming here. It's manageable. You are encouraged to converse with your party instead of looking at your phones. The ambiance is warm, peach, cozy, not over the top. Feels like you are inside a jungle with tropical greeneries and exotic big cats and birds as the main decor. We got a corner booth with extremely comfortable seats (always a plus in my book!) Great for an intimate dinner date or girls night out. It was on a Saturday night featuring a live DJ who also played a guitar. Music was lowkey Miami night club-ish. Great turnout at 6:00 pm! The powder room stalls are unisex. Service was decent. Though, the servers wore low cut leopard print uniforms. We got our drinks and appetizers pretty quickly. For a party of four and one to two drinks each with three appetizers, the total bill including tips was $250. Not bad.

    Ambiance: Speakeasy located through the waiter doors of a to-go spot called "Manny's" that features leopard print, upscale modern decor, and uniquely crafted cocktails. Yes, the cocktails are expensive. That said, they are super creative and worth it! I loved the "Oh So Jaded" matcha cocktail and their twist on an Old Fashioned was delicious. Friendly and knowledgeable bartenders. A bit hard to order when the bar is busy, but that's too be expected. Ideal spot for an intimate date night! We celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary and Powder Room was a perfect end spot for a night in Austin. No phones allowed! They literally lock up your phone and give you a key. We really liked that this created a more engaged atmosphere and no one was taking photos. Reservations for tables recommended! Somewhat busy on Saturday nights. Sneakers and shorts seemed to be allowed but definitely recommend dressing nice for the space.

    Restaurant you have to walk through to get to the bar

    Experience: This place was a vibe! I came here for my birthday with a group of friends (8) and we all had a good time. We were a bit hesitant about giving up our phones but we slowly started to feel the room and enjoy our time together Place: It was a lot smaller than I imagined. We sat in a small couch the entire night and although we were all in good conversation you couldn't help but feel stuck to your little corner. I wish there was more room to walk around and enjoy the whole room. Restrooms: was NOT a fan of the open restroom concept. A room for everyone to use the closed stalls, not private enough to touch up your makeup or talk with your girls.

There is a parking lot that you can get validation for 2 hrs free, but after that you will be charged. Overall though, it's totally worth a visit! The bartenders are really friendly, the bathrooms are immaculate, and the inside of the place is really cute -- think kinda pink vintage? There are some tables, and big comfy couches around a coffee table in the middle of the bar which is where we sat. I had one of their happy hour cocktails that was similar to a creamy espresso martini, and they are 50% off on happy hour days/times! My friend got one of their floral cocktails which wasn't discounted but I LOVED it personally. I also got a strawberry matcha drink (non alcoholic) that was a little too sweet in my opinion; I finished it but wouldn't get it again. Overall though the cocktails and vibe in there are worth a visit alone! When it's not too hot, the area outside has little mini-chandeliers and is also very vibey.

It was served in a flaming skull, garnished with beautiful flowers and fresh fruit, and filled to the brim with God knows how much alcohol and juice, but it was a time! To heighten the experience, he sprinkled something in a shaker and the flames just erupted! The whole restaurant stopped and I cackled!

The bartender claimed I was drunk and cut me off anyway. I was at the bar talking to a girl while waiting to get a drink (the wait was long because the service is very slow, despite the bar not being very busy at all). She was clearly into me, and the bartender kept jumping in trying to talk to her too (instead of doing his job making drinks). He was doing all sorts of things to try and flirt with her and make her laugh: pulling out and showing her buckets of pre mixed cocktails, running and sliding under the bar, etc. She was engaging with both of us , and right in the middle of that, I get cut off out of nowhere. No explanation other than claiming I looked drunk, which I very clearly wasn't. It felt very clear what was going on--he wanted me out of the way. I left and asked the bouncer on my way out if I seemed drunk. This was literally two minutes later. He said no, not at all, and asked me why I would even ask that. I then told him exactly what happened and asked him to let the owner or whoever was in charge know about this extremely unprofessional conduct so they can discipline the bartender. His response was that the bartender has discretion to cut anyone off, and let me know the bartender is supposedly married so he couldn't have been flirting with any of the customers. Well, sounds like his logic is flawed--not only COULD he flirt with his customers, he WAS, and was therefore cheating. I hope his wife finds out. This is perfectly representative of Austin customer service lately and not normal in other places. I was in Tampa for an entire month earlier this year and this would've been unthinkable there. I'm not coming back.
