About Room 56

Room 56 is a hidden speakeasy-style bar inside the Moxy Hotel, accessed through a bookshelf entrance. Guests are advised to make reservations, as the place fills up quickly, and a minimum of $40 in drinks per person is required, gratuity included. The cozy and intimate atmosphere is enhanced by its limited space, creating a charming and somewhat romantic setting. Classic jazz music plays softly in the background, adding to the relaxed vibe.

The drinks at Room 56 are carefully crafted and beautifully presented, with options like Audrey's Backyard standing out. The bartenders are friendly and make great recommendations, making the experience more enjoyable. While drinks are around $20-22, they are creative and offer a unique twist on classic cocktails, such as Hop Skip Rum, which impresses with its complexity. Mocktail options are also available for those not drinking alcohol.

Access to the speakeasy adds to its allure, with the entrance involving a walk upstairs and picking a red book from the bookshelf. The walk down spiral stairs enhances the whole vibe, making the visit memorable. Although the place does not serve food, it’s a neat and interesting spot to enjoy well-made cocktails in a hidden setting. Overall, Room 56 offers a special experience for those seeking a secret bar with excellent drinks and a cozy atmosphere.
