Great for creative cocktails

Positioned on the East Side Beltline trail, The James Room is a dark and moody cocktail lounge that is meant to be a place where you can leave your stresses at the door and immerse in the energetic vibrations of our cozy and intimate space. Upon entry, an upscale coffee shop takes your gaze. During the day, the cafe intriguingly offers unique flavors such as sea salt lavender and rosemary sage, or you can opt for a classic vanilla or caramel addition to your joe if you fancy. A few paces away is an inconspicuous door disguised as a bookcase, leading to the speakeasy area equipped with a peculiar mood. The atmosphere feels intimate yet communal and invokes a sense of leisure. The fine leathers and premium seating upgrade your typical lounge visit to an elevated, exclusive treat. Once you get settled, indulge in our savory light bites and carefully hand-crafted cocktail menu...and if you're lucky, maybe even the sounds of a DJ spinning some of your favorite hits.

We joined The James Room for a wonderful birthday celebration! The hostess was the absolute best and provided us with a very personal and caring experience including setting up our reserved section with champagne, glasses and flowers! She was the absolute best in answering all my questions and concerns about the occasion and the venue. 10/10 would go back again. It is a beautiful speakeasy and the vibe is one of a kind.

The hostess was not friendly at all. And it was rather early in the night...not crowded at all. Beyond that, everyone else was friendly and helpful with suggestions. I enjoyed the vibe, and will definitely go back.

My visit to The James Room was overall a 10/10 experience! The other two people in my group and I started planning our next visit as we sat there. You get what you pay for, it certainly isn’t dive-bar prices but that’s not the quality of drink you receive either. Everything was above and beyond satisfactory, including the crew on staff that night!

Don’t like the 20% automatic gratuity as service was poor. We were seated at the bar after making a reservation for a birthday dinner. Bartender was making drinks and cleaning the counter without washing her hands in between. We had to ask her to take our food order and she never asked if we wanted anything else during or after our meal came and drinks were clearly done. We also had to flag her down after eating for our check.
