Great place, great experience and super unique. Arrived on time and my table wasn’t open yet. Had to wait in the woobly olive where it felt awkward and I felt like I was in the way. Bartender didn’t offer me water while I waited so I wish I had waited outside but it was raining.

Once seated, I had a blast and the drinks were amazing and super creative

Good solid experience. Some of the environment felt a bit cheap but it was cute.

Went during the Shrek theme to celebrate our son's 21st birthday and had a great time. Great atmosphere and fun drinks. We did have an issue come up but the bartender got us in touch with the owner and everything was handled quickly and professionally--no hesitation. Truly appreciate not only a great evening but also a great experience in fixing a problem. Will definitely be back

We came here celebrating our 2 year anniversary and we were not disappointed! We have been wanting to check them out for awhile and we were excited for the shrek theme! They go all out! Our waiter even tried a Scottish accent, he made the time there worth while!

I ordered the mud bath cocktail and if you like mint chocolate this is the drink for you! Very minty and I loved how cold it was too! Also very strong, they do not skimp on the alcohol. We also ordered the dragons breath shot, when we asked our waiter what shot to get he said “tasty or theatrical” we of course chose theatrical! It was so fun, making a great experience!

For food we shared the fried pickles and steak and potatoes off the regular menu. We LOVED the fried pickles so much! They are not your usual shape and it made them extra crispy! The steak and potatoes were cooked perfectly as well, we devoured our food quickly! Which we needed with those strong drinks!

Thankfully we were visiting the cinema next door after because we needed walk those drinks off. We had an absolute blast and can’t wait to visit during the next theme! Highly recommended this place.

Kendra and KK were such troopers and so attentive despite being the only two working while super slammed with a packed house on a Saturday night. Our drinks were amazing and the Swamp Rat on the Stick was so good!! We would come back again.

Super bad experience tonight. The Server seemed to forget our table existed, he never brought the drinks we ordered and didn't check on us for over an hour. I am sad to see this, as the amazing themes typically make up for a lot of other things; but tonight it could not make up for bad service, missing drinks, and drinks missing key ingredients.

Hope it get better, as it was over 90 dollars for 2 people that got one drink each and dinner.

Allusions is a theme bar with two locations in the Springs, one downtown and the other at the First and Main Town Center off of Powers. The theme typically changes quarterly and the two locations don’t run the same theme at the same time. Themes in the past have included Beetlejuice, Barbie, Nightmare before Christmas, Lord of the Rings, etc. On our most recent visit the theme was Shrek. Our server was a lot of fun and appeared to be dressed as Mother Goose (see photos). Our drinks were excellent and the atmosphere was entertaining. Our drinks for this visit included I’ve Got Layers, Bachelorette #3, and the Mud Bath. We also each had a shot of Cakes Have Layers Too. I don’t think enough credit is given for the incredible amount of hard work and creativity it takes to completely change the bar every three months or so. New drink menu, new glassware, redecorate the bar interior, sometimes even new tables and chairs! Considering all of this we think the drinks and food are very reasonably priced, and since they are a local business we are proud to support them. Highly recommend!

I shared my experience here, and the owner reach out to me personally to discuss my review. I really appreciate him saying I didn’t have to change or take down my experience he just wanted to look into it as a learning experience. He was extremely kind and professional. Also talk about incredible, I’m in total awe of his whole business! Thank you for taking time out of your trip to talk to me.
