"Amazing speakeasy experience. The drinks were absolutely phenomenal and the bartender was fantastic. Her suggestion of everything works with everything was very true. They do things a little differently than other places so make sure to give it a go! Make a reservation online and enjoy the ride!"

"What an absolutely amazing experience unlike anything I've ever had!
I've been to speakeasy vibe spots before, but this takes the cheesy completely out of it and steps into top tier experience.
Yes, you need a reservation and a password. Yes, you're limited to 2 hours. Yes, you have to have directions and it's in a basement.
And yes, it's totally worth it.
The space is absolutely beautiful but also dark. You may need a flashlight to fill out your drink card, but the darkness is needed to complete the vibe.
The glass wear is BEAUTIFUL. Every glass was not only perfect for the drink it held but also had a wonderful feeling in the hand. Each had a good weight and beautiful designs deep in the glass. I could nerd out about it and the bar. All incredibly selected details. And details matter.
We each got 3 drinks (and they have mocktails, too, so everyone can experience the wildly creative and special mixtures!) with different profiles and they were all delicious and spot on. They do say that they'll make you a new one if you don't like it, but even after my first drink I wondered how anyone would return one.
Our server was great, giving us details of each drink she brought and checking in once we'd had a few sips to make sure they were pleasurable.
The drinks are reasonably priced considering the atmosphere, quality of ingredients, and care put into each one. Prices range from $15-20 per drink.
This will definitely be on my list of favorite experiences, and I'm excited about going back the next time I'm in town!"
