I found my way to the bar and pulled up a seat. Immediately created by Amber, the bartender. I don't know how she feels about being called a mixologist( is that cool anymore?) but she knew her way around some spirits! For my first drink she mixed me up a classic old fashioned. Nice balanced drink. I ventured through some of their other specialty cocktails. I just couldn't get enough! A few hours in and it was time for dinner. The hot honey pepperoni pizza hit the spot ! This is a great addition to the soda district. Come with friends or make some new ones when you get there ! Can't recommend this enough, Abilene

Here are my food, service and ambiance thoughts:…read more Food- One star. The ceviche was tossed in some sort of sauce reminiscent of ketchup. Why??? (chips were pretty good) The salmon was overcooked and the grilled broccoli practically raw. This meal was so underwhelming it reminded me of maybe something you might pick up in a grocery store in that section where people who don't cook go to get ready-made meals. It was right at that level. Service- Two or three stars. Mediocre. I've been here once before, btw, and that experience was probably an overall 3-star. This time was right before a show at the convention center next door. You'd think that maybe the restaurant would have been prepared for a crowd? Apparently not, since our food was slow to come (the table next to us had both of their steaks comp'ed due to slow service and not being cooked as asked). When I asked for a wine list, the server stated that he would "try to find one", and it took awhile. And the restaurant was probably only about 60% full. I mean, if I'm going to wait forever for my food, at least let me be drinking while I wait! The appetizer arrived with our food, btw. Love that... Ambiance: Five Stars. The restaurant looks nice. Get your act together, Smokehouse! It would be nice if we could count on a nice meal before a show without having to Uber to and from the hotel/venue for it.

I will say that you could probably get away with sharing the 12 oz brisket between two people. The sides are designed to be shareable so it's pretty much built in.

Another person was kind enough to check if they were still making food. They should invest in something to help keep the flies away from your food. It's summer so the it's hard to manage but it is necessary because my husband had to swallow his food to avoid them and I was swatting flies the entire meal.

Everyone we came in contact that worked there were very welcoming and so sweet. They didn't make us feel like we were ever bothering them with our many questions. The pool was also open and we def enjoyed it. Our room was so nice and I absolutely loved the bathroom. This hotel also has a restaurant, bar, marketplace, business center and even a printer to print off boarding passes if needed. The location is perfect being barely 5 mins from ACU, dining and Walmart. I will def be staying here again when I come back to visit.

They have an extensive martini and drink menu and a good assortment of bottle drinks. I did feel that their prices were inflated to big city prices, which just don't really need to be here in Abilene. The bartenders were running their asses off and the DJ was spinning some good mixes. The decor is fun too with a variety of seating and standing options. Other things to consider: 1. no cover! yea! 2. They are only open Thursdays and Fridays. My hope is that this changes with the new location. 3. No food So if you want to feel trendy for the evening head on out.
