Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, BEETLEJUICE!!!

What a fun experience! Walking into this cozy speakeasy, at the back of The Wobbly Olive, felt like we had been transported right into the movie. I love a well executed theme and Allusion nailed it down to every last detail.

The drinks were delicious and I loved the unique glasses and stenciling that accompanied each one! Bartenders were attentive and friendly. They also offer themed bites and you have the option of ordering food from the Wobbly Olive as well, from apps to full entrees!

They change theme every few months (their downtown location has its own changing themes different from this one) and you can purchase the decor and glasses when they’re ready to switch to the new motif!

Highly recommend regular visits - as Beetlejuice himself would say, turn on the juice and see what shakes loose!

Beetlejuice theme Speakeasy. Great innovative spirits and delicious bites. Service was professional and expedient. Atmosphere was inspiring.
We would return again for the next concept. Be prepared to spend some money for a great experience.

Every quarter is a new theme! They go all out to make sure you feel like you have transferred to that place!
The drinks are so clever and delicious, they also have moctails too!
I love cosplaying for each theme. The pictures are from the Beetlejuice theme!

We had a great time! The drinks were delicious and fit the LOTR theme perfectly. The decoration and lighting were perfect. We got a kick out of the entryway, it really set the tone. Speak friend and enter - if you know you know. The food from the attached restaurant was delicious and shareable which added to the experience.

2nd visit last night and it was awesome! Their Beetlejuice theme was spot on and everything we had was delicious! The sandworm cookie was....TO DIE FOR! 😁

Very cute little speakeasy inside of the Wobbly Olive! The theme was Nightmare Before Christmas and the decor was on point. The drinks were good, very strong tho and unique ingredients. We played the dice game and that was fun! It’s hard to tell which drink has a cute glass or a light, but of all them had a cute little design. Shot glasses were adorable. I definitely look forward to the next theme. Nice experience overall !

Very disappointed especially because of the amount of money we spent here. Cool atmosphere but that was it. Waiters in t-shirts not costumes like website stated. Which is false advertisement. Waiter checked on us two times both to let us know our table was only held for x amount of minutes. Had to ask multiple times for utensils. Spent over $100 dollars here. Waiter flirted with my wife right in front of me. Also did not ID the whole table. Very disappointing. I would think about retraining your staff and re working your reservations. I can’t believe how different the website stated the speakeasy was compared to how it actually was. Drinks were over priced and poorly made. Black chunks in my banana margarita, made the drink unappealing and a waste of money as I was unable to drink it. Definitely not the ingredients listed on the menu. Didn’t know the drink was made with rotten bananas and a side of food poisoning. Didn’t have enough tables to support reservations so we received nasty looks from people who were asked to wait. Someone in my party made a comment about how cool the books were that the check came in, and the waiter took that as she wanted to steal it. And then got nasty stating they would charge us? Grow up! Hire better people with personalities who work directly with the public. Don’t waste your time going here.

Awesome speakeasy-style bar located in The Wobbly Olive. My wife, sister-in-law, and I went recently when it was Alice in Wonderland themed and it was an amazing experience. The drinks are fantastic and come in really cool themed glasses and our server was really friendly! You can also get food from The Wobbly Olive if you want to go for a full meal, just be sure to make reservations in advance! (I recommend a few weeks out if you're trying for a weekend night.) If you're looking for a unique bar experience, definitely check out Allusion!
