Room One Eleven

What a lovely experience at this hidden gem. My sister and I were in town unexpectedly and went here two nights in a row. We loved that it was an older crowd. The bartender angel had no issues making me a NA drink both nights (highly recommend his hibiscus spritz) and my sister absolutely enjoyed her cocktails as well. The second night we dragged a group back with us. Great selection and Southern charm.

This is one of our friend group’s favorite place to end the night. I only rated the food at two stars because I’ve never had food from there so I couldn’t tell you how it is. But I can tell you that this is one of my favorite places to get an espresso martini. I have not had one that is comparable. We also had a lemon drop shot from here and it was so smooth and it wasn’t overly tangy. It can be loud in here, but it is a good loud and everyone is there for a good time. we have come with all ages of friends and everyone has left saying they had a blast.

This place was very crowded on a Saturday night. It was standing room only. This is a bar. The drinks are expensive (think 15+ per drink). The drinks are good, but it is very loud in there. Mostly couples coming in. A much older crowd. I did not eat so automatic five stars for that. The service was meh and the atmosphere was too loud for me. I don’t think these are things that can be fixed by the restaurant. It’s just my personal experience.

What a fabulous evening at the speak easy! Love that it is a restaurant by day that turns into something extra special at night. The old movies playing on the wall and the delightful cocktail options make this a must stop when visiting Mckinney.

We had a girls night and visited Room One Eleven. The drinks were great and the bartenders were very knowledgeable. The ambiance was nice as well, very intimate speakeasy vibe setting.

Many speak highly of this place; however, it's more of a fun bar than a true speak easy. It was very fun, the music is good, I enjoyed the decor. As a bar- loud of fun. As a speak easy, it is far too large, too loud, and the drinks weren't very good. I'm used to specialized bartenders who are very talented at the craft. And if you don't like gin- well, you better know what drink you want to order because nearly everything had gin. Additionally these bar tenders couldn't sugar rim a glass to save their lives! The picture I'm sharing has EXTRA sugar. As you can see for yourself, they are challenged. Good bar- not such a good speakeasy.

Really cool experience with an amazing ambience! From the entrance where they ask you for a passcode to the history driven menu, all and all adds to the atmosphere of a speakeasy spot to be. Small touches for improvement would be adding some jazzy live music on the weekends, having the staff in antic uniforms to add authenticity, and placing some hooks under the bar for ladies to hang their purses. This is a little gem in the downtown with great potential.
