The Depot – Downtown Wichita Falls' Premier Cocktail Lounge

Welcome to The Depot, the go-to spot in downtown Wichita Falls for craft cocktails, classic bar games, and great conversation. Formerly known for axe throwing, The Depot has reimagined itself as an upscale yet approachable lounge where you can sip Prohibition-era cocktails in a speakeasy ambiance and enjoy a little friendly competition with friends. Located in the heart of historic downtown, The Depot offers an experience unlike any other nightspot in the city– perfect for professionals and discerning locals looking to unwind in style.

Craft Cocktails & Speakeasy Vibe

Inside The Depot’s elegant bar, fully stocked with premium spirits and staffed by talented bartenders ready to craft your perfect drink. Step up to our full bar featuring classic cocktails from the Prohibition era – think velvety smooth Old Fashioneds and refreshing French 75s – all served with a classy, modern twist. Our expert bartenders take pride in mixing both the time-honored favorites and creative new concoctions tailored to your taste. The drink menu is extensive: you’ll find specialty craft cocktails, a curated selection of wines, and a top-notch draft beer lineup to please every palate.

The entire lounge is imbued with an authentic speakeasy vibe – low lighting, exposed brick, and the soft sounds of jazz in the background set a smooth, dark atmosphere that will transport you back in time. It’s an ambiance that feels both exclusive and inviting, making every guest feel like a VIP.

Historic Downtown Charm

The Depot isn’t just another bar – it’s a piece of Wichita Falls history. Housed in a beautifully restored building over a century old (built in 1909), The Depot honors its past while providing modern comforts. You’ll immediately fall in love with our classic building – from the original tin-tiled ceilings and exposed brick walls to the sleek mahogany bar that harkens back to the roaring 1920.

Every detail of the décor blends vintage charm with contemporary style, creating an atmosphere that’s both nostalgic and chic. Located on Ohio Avenue in downtown Wichita Falls, The Depot sits in the historic Depot Square district, surrounded by the energy of the city’s ongoing revitalization.

We’ve preserved the building’s heritage while updating everything for comfort, so you get the best of old and new. The result is a setting that truly elevates your night out, making The Depot a destination as special as the cocktails we serve.
