Volstead's Emporium is a hidden gem with a speakeasy vibe that transports guests back to the prohibition era. Located down a back alley with no signage, the entrance is mysterious with a steel door and red light above. Once inside, the ambiance is top-notch with candlelit tables, old Hollywood photos, and a hidden room behind a bookshelf. The cocktails are expertly crafted and perfectly balanced, offering a wide selection to choose from. The atmosphere captures the true feel of a speakeasy, with sliding windows and hidden rooms behind a phone booth, and great jazz music adds to the lively environment. During busy nights, live music can be loud, making conversations difficult, but the service remains fantastic. The food is good, though sometimes it comes out cold or with less broth in certain dishes like mussels. The martinis are smaller but still tasty, and the experience is fun and unique. Overall, Volstead's Emporium is a must-visit for those seeking an immersive experience with exceptional drinks, atmosphere, and a touch of history.
