May Peel Reviews
Carmen made us excellent drinks and was great company. Enjoyed the DJ “Kent Clark”!
This was a gathering of friends. Great vibe. Speakeasy with a quiet side and DJ.
Drinks were amazing. The food menu is very limited but what was offered was good.
Definitely a snacking menu.
Highly recommend

The cocktail menu is carefully crafted, showcasing creative and beautifully balanced drinks made with smoky mezcal, botanical gin, and bourbon. The bartenders are knowledgeable and engaging, ensuring each cocktail is an experience. The menu also includes small bites like charcuterie boards and gourmet olives, perfect for sharing. The ambiance is very dimly lit, with candles and a relaxed atmosphere, making it ideal for a quiet night out.
Guests have described the vibe as very chill and cozy, with background music playing, including jazz and saxophone performances on Thursdays. Visitors have noted that the staff is friendly and attentive, providing excellent service. The entrance is on the side street of the hotel, and ample parking structures are nearby.
