He checked all bags and purses, so I felt safe going in until I noticed a staircase to the bar (2nd floor) and thought, well I should plan accordingly before I leave so as not to take a tumble. They have seasonal cocktails, some Foxy ones, classics, and som non alcoholic options too (both bottles and cocktails), but there is no food, so get your feed bag on elsewhere. I also saw someone being escorted out of the bar, so there is additional security in the bar and the deck. Lovely place for a view and a hangout. Oh, no parking lot.

This is an epitome of a speakeasy bar, no signs tucked in between Cherry's & Behind Closed Doors…read more If not for the bouncers outside enticing you to see what's inside you may miss it. My husband and I decided to try it out on the way back home. Main St is filled with a surplus of bars and clubs ranging from Off the records to Deans. This place offers a sophisticated bar adjacent to a lawyers office. First impression walking in is a large bar area with a patio overlooking Main st. The front view of the patio only shows the train, the right and left side offer people watching. It is the only place on that strip with a balcony. The service was very lackluster. I was there on a Friday night. The two male bartenders stood directly in my face several times, not one offering a "will be with you shortly" or anything accommodating. After getting tired of waiting so long I told my husband to come in to see how long he's have to wait. As soon as he sat down beside me, a female bartender sauntered over. I would've appreciated quicker service or at least acknowledgment. My husband also noticed how rude she was questioning if the drink he ordered for me was for him or I. ( why doesn't that matter?) All in all of a first experience it lacked hospitality.

They feature an indoor and outdoor space with order at the counter service. I've gone right after work when it wasn't too crowded and have ordered a pizzas and frozen bevy. The place is incredibly affordable during happy hours with a half off pizzas and $2 off their cocktails. You can leave spending $16 at happy hour + tip. Only boo boo thing is the parking, there's only street parking available which can be a headache for those not familiar with the area so just keep an eye out for signage.

I was surprised to see Jamaican beef patty and coco bread on the menu. Took forever to come out, but when it did...delicious and well worth the wait. Drinks were delicious as well and their bartenders clearly know how to make a great cocktail. Place feels a little "divey" but the vibes, drinks, and surprising food quality make it worth a visit.

The location is money, super convenient right around the corner from House of Blues and Toyota Center. You'll often see a mix of locals and out-of-towners on most nights. Bar area gets lively on weekends, but the service stays on point.. The bartenders here are very knowledgeable, can make a drink off the menu if you asks.. The whiskey selection extensive and the staff actually knows how to guide you through it if you're not sure what you want. Vibe is more of a low lit, cozy, and feels a little upscale without being too pretentious.. Good spot for date night or just grabbing drinks with friends after a show. A solid cocktail spot to checkout

I did their main valet for about $8 on a Thursday. Easily your best bet! It's fun to ask the front staff and make the "journey" to find the place so I won't spoil any of that here. You will eventually have a host who will take you through the experience to get inside. They have a bar experience where you're face to face with the bartenders and a couch seating style. Hanging with the bartenders is more fun as they're fun with a lot of personality. Make sure to let them know if you're celebrating something. High chance you'll get bonus shots/drinks! Every drinks has a cool presentation and is very instagramable.i can't remember the name of mine but it had a mango taste with a dip n dots inspired topping. It's in one of my photos.

Booked a reservation and had to rush from another event to make it in time. We get there on time and we still wait 20 minutes in the lobby to be taken up. Love the concept and the door behind the bookshelf. However, just tell us what to do and step out the way. They stand right on top of you and it ruins the pictures/videos. We get inside and the vibe is great. Low lit and nice ambiance and decor. We go to the back and get seated. It was kind of awkward seating for four but it got the job done. Cool view out of the single window to the city below. Let's get to the drinks and service. Apparently, it was a newer menu and many of the drinks we were told about were no longer listed. The server was very strange and off-putting. She didn't do the best job describing the drinks at all and kept calling us "my babies". Four full grown adults being referred to as "babies" by a woman our age or younger was just weird and she did it a lot too. No one liked it. The drink I got was extremely overpriced and came in a tea cup- not my cup of tea. My friend asked for something creative using tequila and pineapple- she said "sure, we can make that. Do you prefer 1942 or clase azul?" I stepped in. I know you have more tequilas than your two most expensive options. Of course they did and she gave him more realistic options to mix with. Had I not stepped in, she would have taken advantage of him. None of us were impressed by the drinks, the prices or the service. None of the fun and fancy drinks were shown to us nor seen throughout the bar or other tables. No smoke, no big bubbles being popped, no treasure chest with a drink in lol This was an expensive let down. We do a ton of high end and expensive dinners and bars. This did not live up to the hype or price point. Extremely overrated and the strange service left a bad impression on all of us.

I took the question as a joke and tried to walk into the bar, but I was quickly stopped and told I could not enter. I've been to Unicorn multiple times (I even went the night before) and have only been asked that question once--by the same bouncer--and I gave the same BBQ sauce answer and was allowed entry. I even asked one of the security officers at the front which sauce they preferred, and they said they didn't like either, which I find ironic.
