I highly recommend this place if you want try out custom made drinks. Rare to the area cocktails are made here. Be prepared to pay for what you get as well as an amazingly different dark environment, much like the magic time machines up stairs, to savor your majestic concoction. :) cheers

Cool through the looking glass kind of environment. Crowd when we went was pretty much a drink to get drunk and hook up- not our scene. Space is tight.

Truth & Alibi is a must go if you are in the Dallas area. It one of those clubs that when you enter the front door it looks like a candy shop and if you know the right words to say, to back wall opens up and you enter the club. The decor is pretty cool with big chairs almost like thrones. Soft plush velvet seats. And a stage area. They also have this guy in the very back room near a kitchen who makes the best monkeys in town but he dont bartend. Zayne was very cool, friendly, and inviting. I still dont know exactly if he is a manager, owner, or a frequent patron. Check this place out then decide for yourself if you like it.

A Speakeasy from the 1920s FOR 2020. The Candy shop in front is a perfect prelude with a man in front who handles the exchange with class, authenticity, and powerful mystique. Once inside; the decor is purely cinematic. Chandeliers with splashing cool and warm colors. Velvet chairs, curved couches, and a classic atmosphere that creates poriferal flashbacks of ghosts of a prohibition long since past. Ask for the cocktail menu and be welcomed by the most unique cocktail menu youll find (it will GLOW you away). If youre unsure; the Absinthe Sour will make you sure....youre in the right place. We won.

Very cool vibe, if you ever want to find an escape with some friends or your significant other this is the place to be. The crowd is young late twenties at most and when they bring out drinks for parties it looks almost divine.

The bar is a hidden treasure behind a candy shop and definitely worth your visit. The music and atmosphere is good. The security and service does an amazing job not to overcrowd too much with people and at the same time take care of safety and drinks. The space for dancing is limited which removes one star to make it a perfect all nighter.

A speakeasy that actual required a password was cool. This place was fun with great music

Review №14

Fun speak easy with great music, great drinks and a cool atmosphere.It all starts with knowing the weekly password. You can find that on the clubs FB page. Once behind the candy wall, you walk into a very nicely decorated cocktail lounge. The music is a mix of hip hop, old school hip hop and will have even the non dancers movin.They have a cool cocktail menu that comes nicely lit with an LED and makes picking your cocktail or other drink choices easy to see.Stop in to this cocktail lounge, order a drink and enjoy one of Deep Ellums best spots!

Must know secret password to get in enough the candy shop. Once you get in, theres a large bar and a small bar. It feels like a VAMPIREs LAIR which is super intimate and music is popping. Fog machines and dark atmosphere. Fun place to be but can get hectic later at night. Parking is free if you find the right places, otherwise expect to pay and walk a short distance.

Oh.. What a night It was. The Music The folks The service guys the drinks the craziness the insane laughter and friends. Oh it is a superb place to go with Friends. But they have certain rules I guess. Either go with Grls or reserve table on prior.

Review №19

The best Deep Ellum club. Looks like a candy shop from outside and the bouncer needs a password which you can get from the Facebook page. They dont rack up drink prices as the night goes which you will find many clubs do nearby. 10 dollars will get you any drink. Its much more cost effective to get a bottle if you are with 6 or more people. They recommend booking a table but unless its the peak at Saturday night you can just hang around one and seat yourself.

Aka the “Candy Shop” which has a hidden door that takes you to the bar inside. Looks amazing and the music is amazing! The bouncers there are super friendly and make sure everyone’s taken care of! Thank you Zain, Bobbie, Chris and others for an amazing experience!

Dont come here if youre a group of men, they only allow you in if youre a women, have a reservation, or are accompanied by woman (for every man). Looked like a cool place but found this out after waiting in the cold with my husband and his buddies from out of town.

Nice speak easy. Get password from their Facebook page. Nice mix of music and crowd. Not the biggest place and can get packed after midnight when its most busy. Still one of my favorite places to go.

Review №25

The place plays good, boppin’ music but it would be better if they didn’t have so many tables and benches and couches where there could be dancing space. Most of them stay empty and if you try to dancing someone is constantly passing you and interrupting you.

Review №26

Will never go back. They max out the space so you can barely move. I was standing against a wall and a bouncer was backing into me to let VIPs through, which I was not in the way, he was. The bartenders are nice, the bouncers and room sucks. I would rather go to high and tight or the hotel in Downtown that has a speakeasy.

Review №27

The entrance is incredible. It looks like a candy shop. To get inside the club, youll need a password (you can find it online on their website). Be prepared to wait a little to get in. There is a line most of the time during the weekends. The club is pretty small but very nicely decorated. It can be pretty packed which makes it hard to dance (again, especially during weekends). It also can be hard to get a bartender taking your order, even at the counter. Outside of that, the atmosphere is awesome!

Love this bar but its pretty small and they fill up to capacity quick. U have to get there early and know the password (posted on thier FB page each week)(or you can ask someone in line lol) then go in find a seat, grab a drink and enjoy.

The entrance part is fun. We got there early and were the first to arrive but we enjoyed it being empty. The couches and set up are very cool but they could update them or clean them. Its very dingy. Bartenders were fun though.

Review №36

AVOID THIS PLACE! The employees here are absolutely disrespectful. The manager is racist. He let an Asian group in and didnt let us in because he was upset with a Hispanic group. I dont think he knows how to run a business. I would give this place zero stars if I can. My friends were going for the first and they were disgusted by the treatment and the managers attitude. They will never go back here and neither will I. I hope they learn how to include all races. This is 2018 and racism is still alive at this place. Please avoid this place like this plague as there are other bars around here that treat you like a human being rather than a number in line to get in.

This place is pretty neat inside. Definitely has a creative side to its interior. Usually takes forever to get in so get in line a little earlier. Its a but crowded inside usuallg but the music and energy level keeps its fun and worth it.

Good music, good crowd. Gets a little crowded as the night goes on. And if you show up with a group of guys with no girls they wont let you in unless u get a table

Amazing pizza for a reasonable price! I had the gluten free crust and it was one of the best I have ever had. Our server was very attentive and our food was brought out promptly. The restaurant is small but cozy. We arrived early so there was a very short wait. As we were leaving we did see lots of people waiting, so its best to arrive early because this place is clearly popular.

Dont get a table here! You will be fighting off jerks all night who climb over you to get past the bar. Places like citizen and theory actually treat those who pay for a table better.

Amazing decor and great drinks. I could have done without the profanity-laden rap music that was on the whole time I was there, which clashed hard with the awesome late 20s decor.

Review №49

Place was packed with good energy and pretty amused people. The downside is that you cannot be anywhere because people were passing and passing by and by; got to watch your drink not to get spilled. Being popular has its downside... but is a good thing. Almost impossible to dance and impossible to be standing. Maybe Im just old. Thats it!

If youve never been here then you can skip it.The drinks arent very interesting for a cocktail bar and the ingredients arent the highest quality.The furniture and the bathroom were filthy. The mugshots room near the exit was pretty cool but thats not saying much.

This club is really fun and gets very busy on the weekend. Overall the service is good, but I did ask for water to be brought to our VIP table multiple times over an hour timespan, and they never brought any. A new VIP table showed up and they just ignored us after.

This place was classic cool. Very clean, plush seating, and the staff is dressed to the 9s. Music was 90s and early 2000s club fare. The password thing is a nice gimmick. The only thing I could complain about was that it was so popular we couldnt find seating.

Very, very neat venue. Not a place to chill and relax, but a good place to live it up and have some drinks. Super crowded. If youre looking for a party vibe, this is a great place! Music is cranked up, and the design and decoration is very cool!

What started as a cool vibe quickly stopped short after the neon lights, strangely bright LED menus and bad club music. This is a glorified bar and not a great one at that.

I love going to T&A, but wont dare come down there too late with any males (hubby) because I am pretty sure they wouldnt let us in. But, me and my girl get in every time. Amazing atmosphere, the music is great but we miss the big video screen they used to have up. Drinks are perfect.

The bouncer who looks like t-pain chooses who goes in, not who’s in line. When you’re in line before 10 you can definitely enter the club. Anytime after, it’s up to him

Review №72

Opulent speakeasy with great decor, spacious seating, and wonderful service. I got here around 9 on Saturday night and surprisingly it wasnt crowded. I love the decor from the comfy velvety chairs to the chandeliers with black lighting and mirrors. The menus are pretty cool too with LED lights. I ordered a Moscow Mule, which wasnt my favorite and a bit more tart than Im used to.You need to know the password to get in (which you get from FB) otherwise the bouncer wont let you in. The valet is $10-20.I had a much better time here than at Midnight Rambler, which is a bit too hyped up. If you want better ambiance, service, and drinks, then skip Midnight Rambler and come here instead!

Interesting place. Need a password to get in. Usually pretty busy and crowded but always has attractive people. Some are rude and dont care about your personal space. Geared more towards twenty-somethings club atmosphere.

The password is on their Facebook page... Now that we have that out of the way, its about 50/50 experience here. Door guys are rude, pretty sure rasist too, and they pack WAY to many people in at night so you cant move. However, if you get there at a good time when you dont feel like a stuffed sardine then its a blast. They have good music, the bartenders are super cool, and the drinks are great.

Waited in line to get in while probably a dozen people budged in front of us because they knew the bouncer. Once we were in it was packed so tight we couldnt even move. Two stars because they had a clean bathroom. Would not return based off of this experience.

Review №86

I truly enjoy this place. I love how its in Deep Ellum. Its a nice change from Uptown. The place is five stars because the place isnt big which means its limited on the people it lets in. I enjoy that aspect and when combined with great security, staff, dj, and bottle service.....I got no complaints.

This place makes going out difficult! They need to post rules about males coming without females and dress codes visibly so as not to have ppl standing in cold for absolutely no reason!

Review №99

0 star if i could give. This review is to let owners know about their mismanagement. They have wait queue on the main gate and people are standing over there. The guy Bobby at the door is not letting go anyone inside, if you know him or you are a girl then you can go through the front gate. Being there at first in queue for 40 minutes we ask him about entry and he asked money from us, you make me happy and ill make you guys happy.The other at the side gate where a tall man with beard is bouncer, he only takes girls from the side gate or person having table booked, if you are stag then same scene of bribing him some money to enter club.This is the pathetic club i have even seen where bouncers are bribing money but they forgot there are lots on Elm street. I will never go here again.
