Eden Cocktail Room

Super vibey and intimate cocktail bar tucked in an alleyway off of dirty sixth. Parking/location - off of dirty sixth so be careful where you park. Fortunately work in downtown nearby so was able to park my car in the lot there. The bar is located in the alley behind sixth, alley will look weird/empty but you will see a light above a pretty door. Recommend making a reservation if you're going at peak team as there are only a handful of tables. Service - our waiter was awesome. Super friendly and very knowledge about what drink to get based on how we were feeling. I'm not usually a gin fan but tried one of their gin based drinks and enjoyed it, then switched to a glass of their house wine.Interior is super vibey, great date spot or for catching up with a few friends.

OMG. Watch out Whistler's, we think we just found ourselves our new favorite old fashioned. Incredibly smooth and one you want to slow down and sip on!! Hidden behind Dirty Sixth in an Alley Way, Eden us a perfect place to wind down your evening. Creative mixologists, truly enjoying the craft. A small and intimate space. Hint: you may be tempted by fried chicken nearby, but don't do it. Don't ruin the taste left in your mouth by Eden. Pro Tip: order the Dandelion & Disco (mezcal) and Taste of Eden (gin)

I have been here twice. The first time, great experience (with the exception of how hot is was - as we were there in winter and heater was making us take clothes off).This last time, left A LOT to be desired. Our visit was fraught with issues.1. Menu is limited (maybe 8-10 cocktails - which is small for a business who only focuses on cocktails). But they state they can make anything (see more about this below).2. More than once they forget to put in our order or they were "sure what happened."3. Their liquor offerings are something you'd expect of a regular bar or Chili's. Gin options were Tanqueray, Beefeater, Bombay (a few versions), etc. The only "special" gin they had was Monkey47...FOR $50 AN OUNCE!!!!! First, if you're a cocktail bar and your special gin is Monkey47, that is sad. Second, a bottle of this typically less than $50. Our server was really nice and apologized for the excuses he was having to make.Overall, I likely wouldn't go back for a third time (for reasons #1 & 3, mostly). I go to cocktail bars/speakeasies for the unique flavors, liquor options, and creative menus. This isn't that, sadly.

Got a chance to be in Austin for work recently and thought I'd give myself a little speakeasy tour. Eden was my first stop and it was just absolutely delightful. While there, I ran into a group of people that lived in St. Clair Shores which is not to far from where I live in Michigan. What are the odds of that? They were kind enough to invite me to join them since I was on my own, but I was on a schedule. Eden reminds me of a bar we have back home called Black Salt. Both base their cocktails on ancient remedies and theories and their drinks have a very earthy feel to them. I tried a couple of their craft cocktails and they were both excellent. The bartender was both attentive and efficient. I was here pretty early as it was the first stop on the tour, so it was super calm for the moment but it's not a large venue so I imagine it gets loaded up pretty quickly. Cute spot, nice drinks.

Very intimate experience! Phones are discouraged and flash photography is not allowed which is nice. However, drinks were okay. They have different themes and we were there for the earthy/herbal theme. It was kind of surprising that some of the drinks were pretty syrupy especially with the theme and intention of wellness. I personally believe that $20 was pretty pricey for these drinks. Fun vibes thoughThe staff offered for us to order an additional drink before our reservation was up(about 1.5 hours), so we did. We were not done with our drinks yet when we were told that the other reservation was there and we needed to leave when there were two other tables around us that could seat 2-6 people. The next reservation was for 2 people. Really stinks when we paid $20-$22 per drink

I enjoyed the vibe of Eden Cocktail Room. It's tucked away in an alley behind 6th Street. I loved that it's cozy without being overdone or feeling too new or flashy. The service was lively--maybe too lively? I ordered The Diary of Eve. The drink was good. My main complaint is that it wasn't cold enough.Overall, my experience wasn't perfect, but I enjoyed the simplicity of the visit. There are a lot of new, polished speakeasies around town, but I still think Eden is worth trying!

Speakeasy in an alley.. can't get better than that. Look for the purple door with the red light.Must have reservations as the place is small, but cozy.If you are looking for a little pick me up with a hint of dessert then the Water of Life is your drink.It's warm due to the coffee added to it. It's not overly sweet but you can definitely taste the chocolate and hit of salted caramel.

Eh. Seems the exclusivity of this place is because they don't sit more than 2-3 tables. We arrived for our reservation and were asked to wait. After seeing multiple parties leave, we still waited. Once we were finally sat, there was only one other party and multiple empty tables. We also had to ask someone who wasn't attending us for our check because we weren't checked on. Cocktails were decent, but nothing special. Overall not a fan.

Cool vibe, but seemed grimey inside. The cocktails weren't as good as other speakeasies in the area.

The Water of Life (Irish coffee type drink) was spectacular. Everything else was pretty mediocre. Service left a LOT to be desired. There was no host to greet us when we arrived for our 6:30 reservation; we eventually just walked in. Our server almost never came over to check in us, even though the server to patron ration was about 1:4. We had to order at the bar, flag the waiter down for service, and ask for our check twice, eventually just paying up at that bar, which was super awkward. A place like this so supposed to be an intimate experience, so the lack of service was a huge disappointment. The place is VERY small, so it didn't really make sense. The decor inside is cute, but was it enough to come back? My second drink definitely was nothing to write home about. The Water of Life, in my opinion, was their only saving grace. At $16-$18 a drink, I expected a lot more.
