We came here celebrating our 2 year anniversary and we were not disappointed! We have been wanting to check them out for awhile and we were excited for the shrek theme! They go all out! Our waiter even tried a Scottish accent, he made the time there worth while! I ordered the mud bath cocktail and if you like mint chocolate this is the drink for you! Very minty and I loved how cold it was too! Also very strong, they do not skimp on the alcohol. We also ordered the dragons breath shot, when we asked our waiter what shot to get he said "tasty or theatrical" we of course chose theatrical! It was so fun, making a great experience! For food we shared the fried pickles and steak and potatoes off the regular menu. We LOVED the fried pickles so much! They are not your usual shape and it made them extra crispy! The steak and potatoes were cooked perfectly as well, we devoured our food quickly! Which we needed with those strong drinks! Thankfully we were visiting the cinema next door after because we needed walk those drinks off. We had an absolute blast and can’t wait to visit during the next theme! Highly recommended this place.

Came here to go to the Harry Potter themed experience and it was awesome! I got the Beguiling Bubbles drink and my husband got the Wizard's Butterbeer. They were both very very good and I would 1000% get them again. They also have a shots game to play called Slytherins and Ladders. I didn't partake in this game but my husband and friends did. They really enjoyed it and got to try some really interesting shots. We also got some food, my husband and I split the Hagrid's Baby Norbert Sliders and I got the Kreachers Onion Soup. I found the sliders delicious but they were constructed of nickel size tater tots for burger buns. So, even though they were bite size, for the price I was expecting a little bit more. Then I got onion soup and it was literally one small ladle size pour in a really deep bowl. It smelled delicious but when I took the first spoonful it was absolutely pure salt. I literally had to use some of my table water just to dilute it enough to finish it. Needless to say I think I've decided to stick with ordering the food from The Wobbly Olive since you have that option even if visiting Allusions and The Wobbly Olive has AMAZING food!!! Overall, great atmosphere, awesome drinks, but the food at Allusions, I'd pass on.

Pros: Themes are cool and well thought out. Brings nostalgia back. Food was really good. Cons: We had reservation issues. My friends made a reservation for 6 and I attempted to make one for the same time to be able to sit with my group. I was unable to do so. So I made a reservation for 730pm (they had one for 745) Unfortunately, I was unable to sit with my group due to seating limitations and was forced to sit at the bar, away from my group. Also, make sure you view your check. They charge a 20 percent gratuity fee and if you leave a tip it will be additional on top of what they already charged you. Drinks are expensive, and the room is quite small. Lastly, the waitress wasnt any help when I asked if they had something similar to a drink I like. She responded basically with " what you see on our menu is what we have"

Really bummed at our experience. We try to go to every theme because it has been such a good time and a great experience to share with friends until this last time at LOTR. We show up for our reservation on time and waited for about 15 minutes to be taken to our table. Multiple servers pass us but none check in. It was busy so we were patient. It was fine. We get it. But Once we finally get to our table we were eventually met with a server that made me question if she had ever done it before. She was condescending, refused to take responsibility for her errors, and made us feel like we were inconveniencing her by being there. We ordered out drinks and food and proceeded to wait. Which we did a lot of for just 90 minutes. We finally got our first drink after about 30-45 minutes and then she didn’t return, except to give us the check. We all got one drink for the entire 90 minutes. When she did bring the check we asked for one to go box for my friends food and she never brought it. She Even seemed annoyed that we were still there, but not enough to bring us a box so we could leave. We finally had to ask a wobbly olive server passing by to get us a box so we could leave. I loved this place but all it takes is one bad server to ruin it. I’ll find somewhere else to get drinks with friends from now on so I can get more than one drink before I’m pushed out the door.

Overall the food was good. Main issue is that the portions were really small. The drinks were also good, only issue was we ordered a drink that was missing ingredients and wasn't told anything until after the fact. Overall bartender was great food and drink left some to be desired.

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 !

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!
