The Walnut Room is a fancy cocktail bar with strong satisfying drinks. Great vibes, efficient service, and seating for both groups and couples. I like the location, theres plenty of street parking on south Main Street.

I generally rarely give bad reviews on google reviews, but the poor service at this bar made me sick. There were four of us, two of our friends arrived and were seated first, a blonde female bartender checked both of their IDs while my partner and I arrived at this bar within 15 minutes. It was only when the female bartender came over to check both of our IDs that we realized that electronic IDs were not allowed. So we kindly told the bartender that we had called uber home to grab our physical IDs and we would be back in 20 minutes. However, while we were waiting for the uber (only a few minutes), she refused to serve our friends with IDs (even though we ordered non-alcoholic beverages) and very rudely and abruptly told us that if we didn't order she would have to ask us to leave (we obviously ordered but she refused to serve us, didn't she?). We eventually relented and chose to leave, and before we left I went up to the bar and told her that her behavior was very rude, yet instead of apologizing she joined another male bartender and claimed they were just following the law. She could have handled this in a more friendly manner! I don't know if it was because we were the only Asian customers in the bar at the time! I have every reason to suspect this was racist! There needs to be training for the staff!

I just wanted to drop a 5-star review and give a shoutout to Dallas for making us feel so welcome this evening. I called ahead to inquire about mocktails, and was told they could definitely accommodate that request. My coworker and I showed up, neither of us drink, and Dallas made us both amazing mocktails. I often feel like the bartenders in most places are annoyed when you don’t drink alcohol but I really did feel welcome and included and was very grateful. The drinks were great, and I will definitely be back, alcohol or no alcohol. You guys are great! Thanks so much.

Small, underground feeling, classy cocktail bar. Drinks are awesome and at a great price.

I couldn't see me own feet it was so dark in there (sarcasm it's not that bad) ... but the drinks were pretty fire. A cool hidden gem to try if you're looking to pregame before dinner or just want to go and grab a quick drink and chat. Def recommend.

Seth and Debby create a great atmosphere where everyone feels welcome. Every cocktail is crafted to perfection. This bar receives a 10 out of 10 from me any day of the week.
Great drinks. Very cool atmosphere. Wonderfully fun bartenders. This place was too cool for me... but they let me stay anyways. Check it out for a fantastic cocktail or three and dark, chill vibes.

I was so surprised at the awful service here. The 2 bartenders just kept talking about how they didn't want to be there, blatantly rolling their eyes at customers. The girl didn't know the difference between flavored vodka and Liqueur. The guy had to show her. Then he told another customer he only gets one zombie bc they're a pain to make. My vodka soda took negotiating and was flat and took forever (with no one there). Hate to see the place when it's busy. Looks like a cocktail bar but run like a dive, at least that night.

To Dark for me, I couldn't read the Menu although the atmosphere was an amazing and cozy chill nice view out of the back windows. The staff was very kind and the service is fast. The Drinks AAA+ I got a Going to Hell the best decision the drink was amazing.

A bit of a strange setup. I got here a little bit early before my dinner partner arrived and he wanted to meet up here. I didn't get anything to drink but I got their goldfish. He did get a few beers and she said we're fine. I think one of the strange things was how empty it was on a Friday night. We ended up coming back after dinner again and it was a bit more busy. It's a very sparse setup and there isn't much going on It is literally just a room with some couches. I'm not sure who would venture out again to this place. There is plenty of street parking and it is free. Service was very good and I had no issues. The bathroom was clean. Overall for me this was a pass

Cool vibe, perhaps overly dark. Cocktails reasonably priced but unfortunately got the worst espresso martini I’ve ever tasted.
