billy after dark

When my daughter turned 21 on Labor Day, all the cool places were closed. So 2 weeks later, we are making up for it. This was our 2nd speakeasy for the evening and it definitely trumped the 1st stop in creative drinks, awesome service and cool vibes! My daughter started with the Back to Life cocktail. It was one of the best coffee flavored cocktails that have ever crossed my sweet lips! It was well blended in flavors, smooth, not over sweet- with a subtle cinnamon after notes (and I'm note a huge fan of anything with cinnamon most of the time.)After seeing a drink fired up at the neighboring table, we quickly rode the FOMO wave and ordered a Good Day. How can anything be bad with a sprig of sage being burned right before our first sip??! Good Day was more of a full fledged adult drink. Not a sweet sipping drink. Not as smooth (and much lighter mouth feel) as an old fashioned. Perfect for late summer in my opinion.We also opted to order 1 of the 4 cakes our cute server prattled off. Sweet potato cake with maple frosting. It was delish! Not over sweet, not too dry. A nice blend of cheese cake in the bottom layer, sweet potato cake for the middle and fluffy maple syrup frosting. The atmosphere was cool, hip, artsy. A bit more modern compared to some speakeasies I've visited in the cities. It was a great experience for my daughter's official entry into adult drinking!

Went to B.A.D. To celebrate my cousins bday. It was speakeasy vibes. We were able to get a table to fit our party of 10 (we did make a reservation). We were put in a smaller backroom and it was very chill. Loved all the 90s music they played. The drinks were very interesting but between the 10 of us we tried almost all of them. I really like the Bootylicious drink. For food I ordered spicy edamame & I forgot what the chicken was called but it was good, a bit pricey though. I know it's a sushi restaurant but I just wish they offered a bit more non raw options. We learned that they don't split checks per order for groups, so 1 person has to foot the bill & collect the $ later (bad cell service in the basement) or they can split it evenly per seat. Also automatic 23% tip added for large groups. Otherwise, the place seems like a cool place to hangout & grab drinks.

We checked out this speakeasy bar for a friend's birthday. The entrance is located in the back of Billy sushi, go around the building, down the alley, and then find the dinosaur above the door. Ring the bell and wait for someone. Reservations are necessary for the weekends. Weekdays are not as busy but the host might tell you there's wait time. Go down the stairs and you'll arrive in this pretty bar that has lights on the ceiling like stars. We ordered a few appetizers and drinks. The craft cocktails have fun names, I would ask the servers for recommendation and how the cocktail really taste besides reading what's in them. Crispy rice with spicy tuna was delicious! I can eat 20 of them.

This is one of the best bars in Northloop and the sushi is so good but it's just a lot more expensive than other places. The cocktails are amazing and well crafted, the servers are incredibly helpful with advice on food and drinks, and the vibes here are 20/10. They okay good music, it's a fun chill spot to go with friends and the entrance is in the alley way. Overall I recommend making a reservation here.

A fun place with a great ambiance. The drinks are good and have they have unique cocktail options. Enjoyed the food options as well! Recommend making reservations if able as it can be a long wait. Service can also take a while depending on how busy it is as well.

We loved our experience at B.A.D. The sashimi platter was incredible and worth the money. The drinks were good and very strong, but expect to spend a decent amount of money. Our server was quick and nice, always refilling our drinks immediately. The space is beautiful and the speakeasy vibe is fun!

they had plenty of food options if you wanted to share appetizers or have a small dinner. But the cocktails are the main attraction for a reason-- they are unique and fun! Service was helpful & attentive. Ambiance is everything you could want.

Billy After Dark is so cool; arguably one of the coolest spots I've been to in the Twin Cities! We made a reservation based on what we've heard (it gets busy on weekend nights). We came in for drinks following a reservation at Billy Sushi and upon walking in, the atmosphere is dark and a total vibe! They were playing all the early 2000's that I grew up with so I loved the music! Our waitress was kind and informative when answering our questions about the menu. The drinks are on the spendy side, but the espresso martini I ordered was delicious. The only reason I can't give 5 stars is because of how slow the service was. We wanted to order another drink but we were afraid it wouldn't come by the time we needed to leave. Overall, I highly recommend checking out BAD, but give yourself plenty of time due to the slower service. However, I'm excited to go back and try more of their drinks!

I came here with some friends for a birthday. After we are at Billy's, we headed downstairs. The ceiling has shooting stars and it's mesmerizing. The neon signs and fun and a great place for photo ops. The drink presentations were outstanding. The servers were fun and had great customer service. They played a bunch of old school r&b the night we went and it was a great time.

Always a fun time at BAD! The drinks are delicious and fun. The food menu has some good food. We got the beef tips Thai last time which was a perfect snack. We always have a great experience here. Will continue to return here!
