Love the unique vibe and the drinks are amazing. Service was a bit slow when it got busy, but worth the wait. Great addition to Fort Worth nightlife.

The bar tender was on point he had my Wild Turkey so that was a major plus for me. The speakeasy was small but cozy for my wife and I to enjoy people watching.

I’ve been to more than a few bars, but the ambiance in the Amber Room was perfect. I didn’t know if the cocktails could match the vibe, but Spencer was able to craft what I didn’t even know I wanted with just a few ‘guidelines’. The best bartender I’ve run into in Fort Worth. I’ll be back, regularly. Highly recommend.

We found this speakeasy by accident while standing in the endless line at Ichiro Izakaya. Since drinking is apparently frowned upon while waiting, we wandered next door and stumbled into The Amber Room. Finding it is half the point. Look for the suspicious wooden door. Inside, the space leans hard into pre-Depression charm. High-back paisley chairs, tucked-away corners, and the kind of layout meant for quiet conversations and bad decisions made discreetly. We took seats at the bar. The cocktails were excellent. Beautifully built, delivered quickly, and clearly made by people who care. I had their take on a Manhattan and it was outstanding. Since I was driving, my wife ordered the No Shrubs and Orchard in the Morning. Both were thoughtful, balanced, and memorable. This is a bar that understands craft. And then there was the barback. In full view of the bar (in the middle of the bar floor), he blew his nose, pocketed the tissue, and went back to work. Dirty glasses were “washed” by briefly dipping them into the sink. No scrubbing. No machine. When customers asked for water, he carried the glasses by placing his fingers inside them before filling and serving. Then came the polishing. A rag inside and out of each glass, followed by transporting multiple “clean” glasses at once with fingers fully inserted. All of this happened in plain sight. That is the frustrating part. The bartenders clearly care about what they are making. The owners went to real effort to build an atmosphere worth seeking out. Which makes you wonder what is happening when no one is watching. The Amber Room is capable of being something special. Right now, it is memorable for reasons it should not be.
