My favorite speakeasy. Great place if you want to get a drink with friends and engage in good conversation and “Speak easy”. ;)
Also there’s the convention parking garage just down the street which is very convenient.

I ordered something floral, refreshing and foamy and the bartender made me a divenire which tasted amazing!

Their bartenders make great drinks! I wish that their interior was more decorated and felt more like a British speakeasy pub.

You’ll end up squinting to adjust to the dimly-lit atmosphere as you enter the bar haha, well worth it though. Great cocktails and service.

Big thumbs up on the friendly service, cozy environment, and top-notch cocktails!

Went here with a friend last night (Friday) around 8pm. Already getting crowded but we still found a cozy place to sit and could hear each other pretty well.

Can't say enough about the friendly, welcoming, and talented staff and wish I had gotten their names so I could better recognize them here.

The doorman was genuinely warm and instantly made us feel welcome (though I was amused he even requested to check the ID of 50something gray-haired me :D).

The bartender closest to the entrance immediately and warmly welcomed us as well.

Two different bartenders served us and both were friendly, engaging, and clearly talented at their craft. My friend and I tried four very different cocktails and all were great!

I do wish they served food other than just nuts here; while in fairness there's a food hall just around the corner with a decent variety of options, it would have been nice to sip the cocktails alongside food.

Re pricing: most of the cocktails are $17 + tax + tip, though their cocktails on draft (!) range from $12-16.

EDITED TO ADD: Disappointed to discover that Haberdasher calculates the tip as a percentage of the purchase PLUS taxes. I get why places do this (obviously), but it just doesn't seem very fair.

Our drinks were amazing and we loved our bartender. She would give you samples to make sure you liked the drink she created before you committed. She would also get to know your taste and recommend drinks. Best drinks we had downtown all night.

This place was excellent. Cocktails were top notch. Accommodated a large party late. Service was at the bar which some might not like but I like talking to the people making the drinks

They don’t serve food here. Just some chips.

Love their cocktails. The mixologists are well trained and very knowledgeable. If you tell what kind of drink you like, they will custom make it for you. Even the bouncers are friendly, respectful and recommend great drinks!!

Must visit, recommend 💯

The bartenders and very friendly! They do flavor profiling and made drinks for me that weren't on their seasonal menu, which changes every 4 months. If you have a liquor base you'd like to try thats not on the menu, ask the bartender and she can make some off-menu cocktails that take into account your base and preferences.
She even offered to remake my favorite cocktail I once had in Brazil, which I never thought id be able to try again.
Earlier in the evening is a great time to go if you want a chiller evening with quiet music. Later in the night they turn the music up with the crowds. Go at the time that appeals!
Each cocktail is $17, so its easy to estimate how much you'll spend.

It's speakeasy, and the bartenders are nice. I would have loved it if it had a good crowd and was a bit non old fashioned

I went there with a pal to try and get her some water so that she can sober up because when she was taking me home she was driving rather recklessly so we go in get some water and then she starts acting strange so I tell her okay we should go because obviously she was in no position to transport herself back home I had told the bartenders and let the security know because I have no idea what to do in that kind of situation. And you know what they did they kicked me out and threatened to call the cops on me I was confused and upset and on multiple accusations I made it a point that I wanted to make sure she'd be okay. I had given the bartender my phone number so the could call me I even tried to give the people we were talking to my social media so that I can have some assurance that she would get home okay but even then they went out of there way to threaten me and ignore me when I was damn near about to cry for the fear of my friends safety. The irony is that not only was I threatened but it was by a fellow member of the LGBT community she barely listened to me and didn't explain anything I have no idea if they got home safe or if there okay because this woman made a judgement based on the fact that I was a man. I have never felt so frustrated confused and anxious in my life but if she had made even the slightest effort to assure me that she'd get home safe I would have been fine because this is usually a bar that I frequent but she made no effort instead they went out of there way to make me more worried scared and anxious when even just saying it's company policy would have made me feel better but no you focused on what you thought was between my legs because you felt that was more important than the clear evidence lined up in front of you if my friend ends up dead I hope it stays in your mind for ever because I will never let you live down what you did tonight
