Parlor

Food: good Service: attentive and nice Ambiance: grown and sexy, classySophisticated, cozy space with pleasant staff. This place is truly a speakeasy so it's a bit tricky to find. There's a discrete pink door on the side of the building facing the paid parking lot. If you go earlier in the night you might be able to catch free street parking. On a Friday at 9pm, it's a bit quiet and intimate, but it really picks up after 10pm when the crowd comes. The drinks are good and decently priced $14-18. The Wake The Dead was so refreshing and my favorite even though they all were lovely to drink. Plus, there was a live dj playing r&b after 10pm. The food is flavorful but the portions are a bit small. You'll be satisfied but not full. So consider getting an app too if you're truly hungry or eat before you get there. This is the perfect place to go to for a night cap with your boo or catching up with your girls over drinks.

Great service from beginning to end!! I believe oir waitress was Jasmine and she was awesome!Just went for night time dessert and drinks and babyyyyyyyy! That blueberry pastry was light and fluffy and sweet and everything greatness. The drinks were also really well crafted.Great vibe and cozy place to hang out. Will definitely be back!

Step into Parlor and you know you're somewhere special. From drinks to nibbles, it's a must.

Might be my new cheers! Tucked away in the Arts District, this gem is eclectic and fun. There's on-site and street parking. To park in their parking lot, there's a $20 charge. It's a little annoying, but the convenience makes up for it. I made a reservation online. It's a small, intimate space with limited seating, so I'm glad we did. The ambiance is relaxed with a hint of bop. There are couches, chairs, benches, and stools for seating. A DJ kept the energy up. And our server (co-owner) was phenomenal. Knowledgeable on the drinks and very attentive. We had the Mr. Jones, Smooth Operator, and then the last round I asked for a Manhattan (best Manhattan I've had in a long time). The drinks are a little pricey, but well made and super boozy! Worth the price tag. We also asked for a drink not on the menu. It wasn't to our liking. The owner not only got us a new drink, but asked what the bartender could've done to make it better. I love that! If Covid precautions are a concern this likely isn't the spot for you. It's close quarters, and none of the employees wear masks. I'll definitely be back though.

Drinks were delicious and the vibes were amazing. The service was unmatched with their attention.

I am a fan of all things black, grown, and sexy and that is the epitome of Parlor. The staff is so welcoming and friendly and the space is very cozy. Feels familiar. I have enjoyed every drink I have had. My absolute fav is The Unbothered. I've recently gone and the displays of art is also such a nice touch. A wonderful lounge! Only critique would be the parking situation isn't ideal. If you can't find street parking, I believe the lot was $20 the night I went and seating can be hard if it's crowded, which tends to fill quickly in the weekends. But they are on Open Table, so maybe that could be combated. Oh, and the music love it.

All was well, ambiance was decent.. we were able to lounge and chat. The downstairs party area was ok, I wasn't really feeling the music, it was more African beats that I enjoy at times but for some reason didn't like it this time. After spending over 300 for dinner we paid $20 to go to the basement area but stayed about 15m.. I kinda felt we shouldn't have to pay, while many walked in and went straight to the basement.

My husband and I came in to Parlor early on a Friday night for a pre-dinner cocktail and some apps. The decor/vibe in this place is awesome and you immediately feel like you're in a speakeasy. Now, they had just opened up for the night when we got there but y'all - at least half the staff wasn't masked. Huh??? There was a waiter, bartender, chef, and who I believe was the owner walking around unmasked. Even as more guests started to roll in, the bartender never masked up and the owner was walking around delivering food to tables unmasked the entire time we were there. That is the primary reason for this sub-par review.In terms of food and drink, first of all: they don't give you water. If you want water, you pay $4 per bottle. Ok... we ordered the Navegador and the Love Sexy, which were both great, but it took at least 15 minutes to get to us. We also ordered the cauli bites and the chicken potato bowl. The cauli bites were great and we ended up ordering a second, and the chicken bowl was decent but they were both the same size (served in a tiny bowl) and in my opinion, overpriced. Our second round of drinks were the Gentlewoman (I think this was my favorite of the night) and the Millionaire, which was not at all what the description portrayed. It was served in a champagne flute and had obvious bubbles in it and tasted nothing like rum (the drink is described as rum, white tea syrup, mint, lime juice... not sure I tasted any of that). Overall: great vibe, great decor and I love the concept and most of the food and drinks were tasty, but pretty overpriced and definitely not somewhere you want to hang out during a pandemic since many of the staff do not take safety/hygiene seriously.

Cool speakeasy! Enjoyed the drinks and service at Parlor. No issues getting seated and accommodated our party of 5 with no issues.

Parlor girl. What's going on? Not you serving my $30 fried lobster tail on a plastic plate with plastic cutlery?!?! What happened to the sexy intimate cozy vibe you created here? We used to love it here. Corners are cut ambiance is sparse. Cafe tables from IKEA and wrinkly table cloths just won't cut it. We love that you've expanded but we just cont justify coming here for an experience that no longer exists. Please please please reevaluate and get back to what made us fall in love with you in the first place. We love you. We miss you. We want the old you back.P.S. Our bartender and waitress were amazing and very accommodating. Outstanding service. Thank you!
