I'm walking down the square looking for something to do and I see a warm light coming from a…read morebuilding to my left. I mistake it for someone's home because there's a few people inside and it looks awfully tiny to be a restaurant. Out of curiosity we walk into the building and upstairs where we've met by the backs of the members of a live jazz band. We have to walk past the band to get into the room and that alone almost stopped us from coming inside. However realizing that's the only way into we room we do. To our surprise in this room (think a studio apartment) there's a full bar and quite a few people. This room also held the members of the jazz band who were rotating themselves from bar to band every few songs. This is what you can find in the TheUpRoot every Thursday. Every other week there is a beautiful restaurant a floor below.

It was ok, nothing really special. It felt like it was just heated up and not made fresh. The couple next to us had a cheese plate which looked really good! I wish I got that lol! I had their blood orange martini cocktail and it was great. I wish it was a little more tart, but good overall! The vibes are very cute and I'm sure the patio would be great during the day. The bartender was super friendly and was super sweet when we asked her to grab a pic of us! I think it would be a good spot for a cheese plate and a glass of wine and I would go more in that direction when dining here!

There's a lot of students studying with a large amount of open seating. The front has a garage door open to let in some fresh air while keeping it cool enough inside.

Matcha was the reason for the 1 star off. I could not really taste the matcha itself. Does not taste terrible, but did not stand out. I think it would be better if there was more of the matcha itself in the drink. Ambiance is really nice and the decor is modern and high end vibe. Parking is limited with street parking, but doable.

I stopped into The Davenport for a cocktail before a long night out on the San Marcos square, and I…read morewish I had stayed there longer. The Davenport has such a relaxed atmosphere, from the Sade playing inside to the energy of the bartenders, that it feels comfortable as a cocktail bar. We all ordered one drink each, with some ordering the Jonestown Kool-Aid or a Barbie's Bathwater. I ordered a classic Aviation, which I believe is one of the best cocktails around, and it was great. It was a little sharper than ones I've had before, but I was asked if it was good or if he needed to make it sweeter. I enjoyed it for what it is, and I thought the price was pretty fair. I think The Davenport is a great starter or closer on a night out, or simply a great place to stay for a while. The patio is nice and comfortable, especially once the sun goes down, and the vibes are well worth it. RIYL: Creative cocktails that don't break the bank

Do not go to this bar unless you want to be racially profiled. My friend, boyfriend, and I came…read morehere for a casual night out and had just ordered our first drinks when things took a terrible turn. My boyfriend went to use the restroom and was stopped by a Hispanic man who claimed to work there, telling him he couldn't use it -- even though other patrons were freely going in and out. Since there were no signs saying it was closed, he proceeded to use it. Moments later, several men began harassing him, then physically assaulted him -- throwing him out of the bar. Outside, about six other men joined in, punching and kicking him while he was on the ground. Even worse, people who said they worked for the bar pulled out their phones to record instead of stepping in to stop the violence. My boyfriend, a Black man, was clearly targeted. This was racial profiling and completely unacceptable. This place is unsafe and discriminatory.
