The place is a very cool spot to listen to live music and vibe out. They do include a service charge for the entertainment and mandatory tip. They are very tight on time 90 min is the longest you can stay. Would definitely return

OMG! I woke up thinking about this food. Every last thing we ordered was amazing. Had the wing dings, turkey tacos, Mac & cheese and ordered the dragon shrimp to go. They didn't even make it home. Ate them driving home. The lady next to me let me taste her fried pickles 👌🏿. The food, the staff, the vibe, the people. I cannot wait to go back and try the foods I didn't order. Akela and Antonio were awesome. It's not giving me the option to post my picture. Just know it looked good. Compliments to the chef 👏🏿

Been there twice and the ladies restroom is always nasty.. and I come when they 1st open. Ive sat at the bar recently and noticed they had a bunch of dead bugs in their window next to stairs. I really want this establishment to be successful but they need more organization and attention to detail. It has so much potential.

I was there for a private event and they did not disappoint! Very intimate setting, ideal for a nice drink before or after an event; or in my case attending a special event.

Staff was pleasant however, one of the food choices guest ordered wasn't hot had to send it back (that was rectified). The music was good . Ambience was good. Overall not a bad place..

I took my wife here for a date night and Knock Twice Speakeasy absolutely delivered. From the moment we sat down, the vibe was right live music to set the mood, then a DJ came through later and kept the energy flowing perfectly. The food? Unreal. The tacos were a hit, and my wife ordered the Cajun ranch chicken wings and fries I’m still thinking about them. Flavor on point.
What really set it apart was the personal touch the chef actually came out to check on us, which says a lot about the pride they take in their food. And the owner, India, is incredibly gracious and welcoming you can feel the love and intention behind the whole experience.
We stayed at our table for the full 90 minute seating time and honestly didn’t want the night to end, so we headed over to the bar to keep it going. Everything about the experience was top-tier.
Best date night spot ever. If you want to impress a lady, bring her here.

I didn't have a reservation but I called in advance and was told it would be okay to come in. Upon arrival, we were seated quickly. The food and drinks were delicious and the live music was amazing. We met the owner, India, who was super nice. Our server was also friendly and helpful. Overall great experience. I will definitely visit again.

Hands down 10 out of 10 from the food to the people to the music, the ambience everything 10 out of 10....I can't wait to go back!!

One of the best spots hands down!!! The food was amazing and the band was on point. The service from the host at the front door to our waitress at our table provided more than exceptional customer service. The owner coming to the table and making sure we were good topped off the night. We will for sure be back.

We dined at Knock Twice recently and, unfortunately, the experience went downhill fast. At no point when seated, ordering, or during dinner were we told there was a 90-minute seating limit. Our pasta had barely come out of the kitchen; we took a couple of bites before being told it was time to leave.

The waitress was beyond rude and bluntly told us we needed to go. Despite being treated this way, we remained professional, packed up, and still tipped more than we should have. Shortly after, another staff member came over and said the rule was “subject to enforcement” and that we could stay but by then the damage was done. We were already irritated and chose to leave.

What’s most disappointing is that we all live in the neighborhood and are professionals who enjoy supporting local businesses. It’s wild for an establishment to treat people from its own community so unprofessionally and then expect repeat business.

The vibe and food had potential, which makes this even more frustrating. But next time, maybe think twice before kicking your guests out.

Clean your menus!!!!

I recently dined at this small plates and live music venue with a group of professional colleagues, and our experience was deeply disappointing. There was no indication of a 90-minute dining limit on the website, nor did our server mention it at the start of our reservation, leaving us completely unaware of any such restriction.

True to the small plates format, we were ordering dishes continuously from the moment we arrived, savoring the live music and enjoying drinks as our selections arrived progressively. Yet, just as the latest plates were placed on our table and we were placing additional drink orders, staff abruptly insisted our time was up and demanded we leave immediately. This created an uncomfortable and embarrassing predicament for me and my guests, all busy professionals who had coordinated schedules and traveled to be there.
Even if such a policy exists for a high-turnover music venue, it should be clearly communicated upfront. A simple heads-up earlier, flexible options amid our ongoing orders, or basic empathy could have preserved the mood. Instead, the rigid, undisclosed cutoff undermined the vibrant atmosphere and exposed a profound lack of professionalism and transparency.

I have never left a negative review. However, I cannot recommend this spot for business gatherings, group outings, or any event where you value clear communication and courtesy amid the shared-plate, live-music experience.
