Riley from The Rose

A throwback to a speakeasy with dark wallpaper and picture frame TV's. It's dark but not shady in any way, the staff is incredible, Drew was the best bartender of the entire trip. The drinks run from high end mixed cocktails to the "brown bag" special where you pick a number 1-4 and you get a shot from whatever is in the bag for $3. It was a risky game but ended up with a shot of some really nice scotch. Drew explained the scotch and it was a great $3 lesson. With a visit for anyone traveling through.

The Rose is known for having the best cocktails in Jackson, and that is definitely not true. The cocktails aren't bad, but they aren't very impressive either. FIGS has WAY better cocktails and only costs $1-$2 more, with the added bonus of incredible Lebanese food. The service at The Rose is good, the bartenders were very friendly. Unfortunately the ambience was wrecked by some really raunchy hiphop music, and this is coming from a woman who has an extensive rap and hiphop collection having lived in that culture for several years. The music didn't even fit the atmosphere, so it was odd too. We will be back, but I would only come here to end my evening on the town.

I called the venue this past Saturday on the way back from my wedding venue in a panic because my guests unexpectedly wanted to keep the party going. Micky and our waitress were awesome! They had extra space in VIP and reserved it for us. 45 minutes later we were at the venue, seated, and drinks in hand. We had a great time!

I was Recently RACIAL PROFIED by the Not so “Professional bouncer” Because I was dancing with a Caucasian girl that I believe that the bouncer had a crush on. I also was under the impression that the owner was on some kind of substance. THE PROFESSIONALISM IS A VERY BIG DISAPPOINTMENT I NEED FOOTAGE.

I had a great happy hour here! The staff is so nice and the ambiance (and other patrons) are great. Night 1 - I plan to stop by again before I leave :)
