This is the coolest vibe. There's a mirrored tile ceiling, neon signs, retro bar art, and you can purchase Polaroids to take home with you. We ordered the Saturn, a mezcal marg, and one other tequila drinks. We were not disappointed! There was only one bartender so we did go up to order all our drinks while at our table. We loved it!

Please update your hours of business so that people aren’t driving across the city to patronize, only to arrive and be told that you all are closed even though online it says you all are open. Thanks!

Musty, quiet, dark, cool, cocktails. Exactly what I wanted.

I have always been a huge fan of Lonesome Rose. I have friends who worked there for years and spoke highly of Lonesome Rose and the culture of Land and Sea co. Years of being a patron at Lonesome I have never had anything short of a great experience. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about my first visit to Golden Teardrops, the bar down stairs. When we (all people of color) did not feel welcomed. As soon as we headed down my friend pointed out the offensive shackles on the wall! Why is the decor?! We tried to look beyond and just grab the drink and leave but we’re never even acknowledged. I come from hospitality so understand being the in the weeds but never acknowledged as everyone else (not people of color) were served. We finally realized they did not deserve one more cent from us. Not sure how to go forward with this company but I had to let this be known to other current and future patrons.

One of my favorite spots to drink. Great service and cocktails. Best night of the week is emo night. They play all the deep cuts!

Entrance is inside of Lonesome Rose. The door is in the hallway between the main restaurant and bar. I'll reiterate what every review says and tell you it is a crowded little spot. Came here on a whim with friends on a Friday around 9, and it was pretty packed. The drinks are good but it was hard to get the bartender's attention with so many people there. I was surprised by how young they seemed too, but idk if that's how it always is. We did snag a table though! Will definitely come here again, probably only if I'm going to Lonseome after tho. It's a cool place but very cramped.

Small cozy dim lit bar with a limited menu. Beautiful bar.

Just happened to walk by this place on a random walk. Open 6pm-min Saturday so came in for a drink with my boyfriend. Very quaint and chill atmosphere. The bartender is basically the only bartender that runs the downstairs bar. Very knowledgeable. Great service. I got the Manhattan which was fantastic

the staff were extremely disrespectful and rude and it took over 30 minutes to make when all we ordered were tacos and they definitely weren't worth the wait
