About John Brown's Underground

John Brown's Underground is a highly recommended cocktail bar known for its rotating menus of unique and delicious drinks. The staff is praised for their friendliness and ability to explain drink tastes, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The bar is a great option for those with dietary restrictions, as all allergens are clearly marked on the menu, and non-alcoholic options are available. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a nice escape from college bars. Visitors often enjoy flavorful mixes like the espresso martini, which features a flavorful frothy top, and the old fashioned, which, despite initial skepticism, is so good it makes guests want another. The place is a bit hidden, accessed by stairs on 9th street, giving it a speakeasy vibe where seating can be cozy, and guests may find themselves sharing space with neighbors. Overall, John Brown's Underground offers a fun environment with a wide variety of tasty, strong cocktails, and is well worth a visit when in town. Reservations or a waitlist are recommended to ensure a smooth experience.
