Fantastic atmosphere, a great place to get a drink and chat! I ordered and highly recommend the Field Study!

Eric is uncommonly knowledgeable about the science and art of cocktails. Put yourself in his care without too many constraints and let him do his thing. Also, ask him every question you have ever had about making a better cocktail. You will learn a lot, and have fun and a great drink in the process.
Killer. Strong recommend. Ask the bartenders for something off menu. They know their stuff.

I showed some friends this place tonight and the service was so lovely <3
I’m usually happy with a 2$ PBR but I was really craving a chocolately type of dessert drink tonight. I told the bartender about this craving that I was trying to honor and he gave me a really yummy but not too sweet chocolate espresso martini. Then when I was done he checked in to ask if it hit the spot- and offered me the only trader joe’s peanut butter cup they had on site 😭 how could I say no! and he even put it in a little ramekin. love this spot, what a treasure.

You have to find it but that’s all part of the experience! This speakeasy has carefully curated cocktails in a well-thought out atmosphere. The bartenders were attentive and the cocktails were divine 💜 I absolutely recommend coming here if you’re looking for a classy cocktail. The prices are expensive but it’s worth it for the care put into every drink.

Coming here is a treat! It really feels so cozy, old-timey, and mysterious. I felt like I was living in one of my 1920s detective novels. Lovely furniture and interesting knickknacks on display. My friends enjoy their interesting cocktails and their nonalcoholic drinks are very good. I haven't tried the snacks but the people I've been with like the chips.

My wife and I decided to have a cocktail before dinner. We had planned to try one thing and then go to eat, but we ended up having an extra drink because it was so good.
If you prefer more elaborate cocktails than the more common ones, don’t miss out on this place.

It was busy, service was fast, and they still took the time to offer multiple drink suggestions.

The staff were very warm and welcoming to our large, unannounced group that showed up this past weekend. We are a performance group from out of town and this place was so accommodating. The drinks are on another level - including the many that were not on the menu.
6 out of 5 stars.
