I don’t think they realize that “giardi-tini” sounds more like giardia than giardinera.

I've visited Dorian's for the Jazz x Gumbo events and it is always a great time. I suggest the seated/family style tickets to give you a little more space (if that matters to you). Also, I recommend arriving earlier than show time to get your drinks and food out of the way before the music starts. The space is very low key and feels like a hidden gem. I haven't visited during other shows or hours of operation so I can't speak to that, but I do recommend seeing a show there.

I had the pleasure of attending an intimate concert by the incredibly talented newcomer Wyatt Waddell at a charming little speakeasy called Dorian's.
The atmosphere was electric! The only downside of the night? I missed the chance to get his amazing signature on the vinyl he gifted me! What a gem of an artist! What exact mix of music jazzy,hiphopish, pop

This a well hidden gem, a diamond in the ruff. My son visits there quite often and I can tell you it doesn't disappoint. The music entertainment is delightful for all ages. I will be back and plan on bringing my home girls..🎶🎵🥰🤣😍✨️🎊🎈🎉💥💫

Always a vibe with great Live Music throughout the week days. They don't sell food here & the drinks selection can be better but overall the Music is always unique & vibey nice cozy chill spot. The street parking can be difficult at times considering that its a busy area.

Fun vibes! If u go in before 8 u don’t pay a cover! If u go out to smoke before show time They will charge u! Intimate venue get there early if u wanna sit
dorian's is a favorite weeknight neighborhood haunt for me. Provides the vibe I'm usually after. (Wish I could make it in more often, but I'm moving soon!) You can bring your own vinyl on Tuesdays for the DJ to play from. 👌 Drinks are quite decent, even when you can't decide from the menu --no worries, they'll put together something a bit simpler using your choice poison. So yep, love the bartenders. You can def tell they work hard but still enjoy what they do. When there isn't live music, it's nice just to sit and chat with them. Easier to find *seats* the later it gets... I just generally avoid anywhere during popular times and I'm instantly happier esp with dorian's drawn out low-price specials. (When you can see there's a line out creeping toward Milwaukee, your speakeasy ruse is broken). If you're reading these reviews as a 1st timer, my advice is to wait until the bar area clears out a little when the musicians are done and into nightcap mode. If you like it so far, come back again at like 7pm to skip any cover charge when other normies are usually out having dinner elsewhere. You'll love it!

Awesome little hidden bar. Smaller venue so try to get there early enough to get a comfy spot. When we went there was a cover, not sure if thats always the case. There was a singer and she was doing her thing. Very enjoyable experience
