Subject has a cozy, welcoming vibe with great cocktails and a friendly bartender. It’s the kind of place where you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the night!

Incredibly cute bar and restaurant

Vibes were super cool here, not too crowded and perfect to meet up with someone. Interestingly there’s a projector and they play movies while you’re there.

Got the gin martini drink and espresso martini - both were made with care and tasted quite good!

It is a cool place to have a drink after a long shift

Came here on a Sunday so it wasn't super busy, which was lovely. Austin, our bartender, was fantastic. He makes such well balanced cocktails and provides great service- laid back but also attentive! The Cabo Crush and Eye Candy were delicious drinks :) cute date spot, cute girls night spot, cute solo date spot

Reminds me Alamo drafthouse the way they have movies playing and they take your order. Spacious seating and good service

The atmosphere was absolutely lovely—calm and cozy for a Sunday night, with perfect lighting that set the mood. It’s a great place for group gatherings or dates, and the drinks were decent.

That said, I gave this experience two stars for a few reasons. When we arrived, no one checked us in, so my reservation didn’t count, and the system marked me as a no-show. Even though the place wasn’t busy, the drinks took a surprisingly long time to arrive, and the overall service felt slow.

What stood out most was the bartender’s behavior toward the end. Despite me being clearly drunk, he offered me another shot, which didn’t feel appropriate. To top it off, he selected a 25% tip option for us at checkout without asking, which seemed unnecessary and pushy.

Unfortunately, because of these issues, my friend and I don’t plan on coming back.

One of my absolute favorite establishments of all time. Ownership cares and truly delivers at Subject.

Really solid neighborhood bar. Plays films on the projector in the back. Has light bites and friendly staff. Gets pretty crowded so it's worth it to make a reservation

This bar offers an impressive selection of creative and delicious cocktails, complemented by a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The modern decor adds to the charm, and they even serve late-night food. The hotdogs are outstanding and were definitely the highlight of my visit! Unlike the typical midnight snacks, these hotdogs are top-notch. I highly recommend checking this place out—I’ll definitely be back!

Gorgeous venue, amazing service, and exquisite cocktails. The owner was super accommodating and communicated so well as I was planning my husband’s birthday celebration, and he and the staff truly went above and beyond to make it a special event for us and all our guests. We had such a great time here - I cannot recommend this place enough!

Fantastic cocktails in a comfortable environment. I do wish they had a meat/cheese platter in addition to the hot dog and popcorn they offered the evening we were there. The cocktails, though, are balanced perfectly.
