The Tasting Room

This place seems like a dive bar but trying hard to be up scale. The good: the cocktails were absolutely delicious. The seasonal cocktail were on point The drag show was entertaining. They were fabulous performers. The staff was fun and friendly, it wasn't really their fault with the problems that follow.The bad: For noon reservations for drag brunch, they were not ready at all. It was $35 a person for the reservation. It seems a bit steep, however the show was good. When I say they weren't ready, they really were on a struggle bus. We had a couple cocktails and I believe every one else had the $25 bottomless mimosas. However, they didn't have the champagne in stock so many people had to wait for a drink. And once they for them, it was hard to keep their glasses full with the lack of staff. We ordered food and it took FOREVER! I mean, we almost left because all we had in our stomach was coffee from the morning and a couple cocktails. Let me remind you that our reservation was for noon. We did not get our food until 2:30. I was getting quite nauseated. I ordered the chicken and French toast, I asked for no maple syrup but it was doused in it. It was ok. I ate the chicken. TL:DR- cocktails were good, the show was good. They needed more staff and the food was meh.EDIT: Our credit cards were charged and the money refunded and additional charges were placed on our card.

We went for burlesque brunch. The show was so much fun. We really enjoyed the vibe, the entertainers and the bottomless mimosas.. but we ordered brunch before the show started and unfortunately never got our food. I was looking forward to my shrimp and grits. They said the kitchen is small and just gets backed up. But everyone around us got their food.. the table right next to us even got a second round.. an order of truffle fries which shelled really good. I would definitely go back for the entertainment and to actually try the food next time. Our server did keep the mimosas flowing!

Came for happy hour and got the $14 charcuterie board, $8 old fashioned and glass of wine. The happy hour wine was whatever is on tap. I was sad that they only had a rose available since I'm usually a red wine drinker.The charcuterie board was a good snacking size for two to three people and great for the price. It came with three kinds of cheese, bread, olives, mustard, pepper jam, pecans, tomatoes, blueberries and granola.Service was friendly but casual. The bartender had to check what wine was on tap when I asked and they were also testing out their old fashioned recipe.

The Tasting Room is a fun vibey spot to hang with friends on any given night. My friend and I went together and had the red wine flights.The wine was good but I wish I'd made a list to reference later on. The service was great. The only issue I had is that we were sat in the corridor type area across from the bathrooms and that made the germiphobe on me freak out.

I was offered a complimentary meal and returned in hopes of a better experience. I was definitely pleased with this visit, the bartender working Friday during happy hour was very friendly and chatted with me while I sat at the bar. I visited solo and she made it feel like I wasn't there alone. She recommended a strawberry margarita, which I ordered and absolutely enjoyed. One thing I can say about Tasting Room is that the drinks are on point. This was definitely in my top five for great margaritas around the city. As for the food, they were trying out baked wings as a new addition to the menu. Looking for something low in carbs and dairy, I decided to try it out. While the wings had a great light flavor and went well when dipped in the ranch and buffalo sauce provided, they were not baked long enough. The skin was fatty and had to be taken off to eat. Since frying them would have crisped the skin nicely and made it more enjoyable to eat the skin, it definitely should have been baked longer and coated in an oil such as olive oil to give it more crisp or the skin fully removed. I would recommend coming here for drinks during happy hour. Thank you Tasting Room for inviting me back and providing a great experience.

What a nice gem. I chose to visit bc of their great happy hour. Staff was very friendly. It's a small, intimate place. Nice change from a loud bar for HH. They have an outdoor space as well. I had several glasses of tap wine and a phenomenal cheese board. The bread on this board spoke to my inner carb loving self. As the night went on, they started to play more upbeat music which was nice. The service slowed down a bit bc only 1 person was working the bar, but I am looking forward to going back.

I was here 7 years ago. My Facebook Memories brought me back. Hopefully better late than never to update. I was traveling alone and stopped by. Staff was attentive. Vibe was cool. Staff absolutely paired wine with the cheese I selected. It was delicious and relaxing!

What a fabulous little local find. Currently doing a local bar hop every Thursday night with my girlfriends, and happened to come across this Jim. First of all the lighting and the decor is so gorgeous and makes you think why would you want to hang out in a dive bar! This is right around the corner! Secondly, the happy hour and the service is awesome. I'll definitely be making this a local hangout place.

Love this spot. Food is always delicious and so are the cocktails. My friends and I regularly schedule our "ladies night" here.

Looking through Yelp and found the Tasting Room. Decided to come because of their happy hour. Sent out a text and I was planning a group gala. On the day we selected the weather was horrible, lots of rain. My group dwindled but a few was still inWe ordered the cheese board. Great cheese accompanied by some hot toasted bread with fabulous jams. Berries and nuts to round it off. It was greatI ordered the house Sauvignon Blanc ...tap wine is never cold enough for me. Tionna really liked the Blanc. In the end I changed because Tito is a well drink. The ambiance is great. Truly New Orleans style. Parking was easier because it is at the end of Magazine3 hours later we still here. We order a chicken sandwich. Bite into it and the texture spells raw. Tionna puts on the flashlight and it is pink. When we send it back someone comes out and explain their process. Nothing they said accounted for raw. At the end of the day a simple apology for the rawness would have been sufficientDid not stop our party. Our bartender Teddy actually came and apologized, asked us what could he do to keep us satisfied. That made our wine drinking butts happy. Our reply was keep the bottles coming. He came back at us with Charles Krug. We will be back. 4 stars for Teddy, great wine and awesome fries. Short a star for raw chicken. Cook your chicken southern style please
