Truth & Alibi

They are racist and have bouncers that deny you because of "too thin sandals" or "solid color shirts". I say there and watched people wearing the exact same thing as my boyfriend and I. When I see people of another race getting in with the same thing, that's annoying. I have had people tell me they want a "certain look" on some big

Just another overpriced nightclub in Deep Ellum. I was told to check it out because it was a speakeasy, but they couldn't even get that right. The candy store front had three large bouncers in it demanding a password. The decor was neat, and Peach's Blossom was a tasty beverage, everything else about it was horrible. The service, the music, the patrons. If you want a true speakeasy experience go downtown to the Statler (Bourbon and Banter) or the Joule (Midnight Rambler). This place was college town nightclub and bar with a password.

Great ambiance. Love the password theme at the candy store prior to walking in. Drinks were usual but music was perfect (hip hop,r&b, top 40s)

Was told about this speakeasy for the last year and finally got a chance to visit. I give it 3 stars because man was it crowded especially for a speakeasy. We couldn't even grab a drink it was so packed. I plan to go back one day due to the high recommendations but the first time definitely didn't live up to the hype

My group gave the right password, we just had the wrong skin color.The negative Yelp reviews about Truth & Alibi are very accurate. I recently took my fiancé and her friends out for a good time (not a long time ). Speaking of "not a long time", this is the exact time frame we stood in line after being told "a ratio needs to be met before I can let y'all in." I asked what ratio and referred to guys/girls, boots/loafers, race?! The bouncer responded with a smirk and shoulder shrug. This is ridiculous because many places in Deep Ellum have better DJs, better drinks (most drinks @ Truth & Alibi come with a lot of ice and little alcohol for $11).This place is known for turning people away because they are middle-eastern, African-American, Asian, and even Hispanic on nights "secretly tailored" to other groups. Wouldn't recommend for people looking to have a great time without racism. I, along with many others, would prefer new management/leadership or a complete shutdown of this place because Deep Ellum/Dallas deserves better than a secret clubhouse with open discrimination (even when you know the password to get in).

We had a 10:00 reservation for a 10 person table with a $300 1 bottle minimum. When we arrived at 10:00, we were told that we had to have a $600 2 bottle minimum to be seated or could seat 6 of us for a $300 minimum at 11:00. This was a very infuriating experience when we had this reservation way in advance and the door man was unwilling to budge, even when I showed him my email confirmation. DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ARE EXPECTING TO HAVE YOUR RESERVATION HONORED FOR A SPECIAL OCCASION.

Tish was freaking awesome. She took really good care of us on my sisters bday. Tish made it a really good experience for us first timers and we would definitely come back and hopefully we can get Tish again. Great experience and lots of fun. See ya so

I recently hosted my husband's 50th Birthday Celebration at Truth & Alibi and it was a blast. The staff was so helpful and went out of their way to make the night memorable. Plus the holiday decorations were amazing. Oh and the DJ was off the hook! Would recommend T&A to anyone looking for a unique space and great cocktails! Such a fun night!!!

After being in this speakeasy for less than 90 seconds, the manager attempted to arrest us for using the incorrect restroom in the bar (woman in men's restroom). The restrooms are labeled with photos of animals and not actual genders. It was very easy to assume they had gender neutral restrooms. The manager barged in on the woman in the stall and attempted to remove me from the urinal (midstream). He said he notified DPD that we entered the restroom together and they were on standby to take us into custody. Once he realized we were not drunk or incoherent, he offered no apology, told the police to stand down. We left immediately.

I'm sad to say that the only thing that is close to speakeasy about Truth & Alibi is the fake candy store out front. Unfortunately, once you pass through the doors, it turns into a club atmosphere. Loud pop music blasting from the speakers. Classic speakeasy cocktails (including some listed on their menu) that can't be made because they're out of key ingredients (we came on a Saturday evening around 10pm). Smoke machines and strobe lights. This place is excellent potential but, sadly, is trying to be something it is not. I must give credit to our excellent cocktail waitress was the only reason that I gave Truth & Alibi an extra star. She was fantastic and did the best she could given the atmosphere and situation she was in.
