Tucked discreetly inside the Filthy Animal restaurant footprint on Mill Avenue, Drop Dead Gorgeous is a stylized, high-energy 1970s-inspired cocktail lounge. Operated by Pretty Decent Concepts (the acclaimed hospitality group behind Wren & Wolf and Carry On), the intimate space is heavily detailed with plush velvet booth seating, rich floral wallpaper, sleek gold accents, and a shimmering disco ball grid overhead. The lounge plays heavily into retro glamour, spinning a mix of rhythmic funk, soul, and old-school disco beats while serving up refined, vintage-leaning craft cocktails.
Hidden Entry: The lounge is a “secret” speakeasy concept tucked within the larger restaurant space.
Strictly Adults Only: The venue enforces a strict age limit at the door.
Seating Policy: Due to its intimate footprint, advance table bookings are highly recommended on weekend nights to secure a spot under the disco lights.
Complimentary valet services are available Thursday through Sunday from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM at 7th Street and Mill Avenue (right in front of the adjacent Centerpoint 11 Theater).
