Always a great experience! Food is phenomenal and the staff are very attentive, always look like they’re having fun and knowledgeable. The drinks are amazing and if you do not like something or are looking to alter a dish or drink staff is always accommodating. Their soup specials are my go to when I want something warm and comforting. Salads are the best in Keene and I crave their mashed potatoes almost weekly! Love it when they have a band playing. The atmosphere is very laid back and welcoming. Lighting is on point! My go to place when I want to go out for drinks and food or when I have a friend visiting town.

I Love everything about this Restraunt but the staff really makes it the perfect place to keep in the special rotation. My favorite thing is to share it with friends, especially if they've never been. Dress up in dapper fashion or just casual. Try the Whiskey caramelized onion dip and the N.Y.M.P.S.L you're welcome in advance. The menu offers something for everyone but is sized so each dish is the Chef's specialty. Brilliant!

An excellent restaurant. It is a unique place and stands out as the top restaurant in the area. The food was delicious. The waitresses in their period dress were cordial and efficient. We never lacked attention but it was not overbearing. The decor and style made it a special experience. From the speakeasy entrance to the couches and comfortable seating to the chandeliers, it achieves the character of the 20s. Go without reservation... (pun intended).

Love this place! And the fact that it's a speakeasy just adds to its charm! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming.....as is the entire wait staff! Great choice of food and drink! Cocktails are very well made. Excellent space for large groups, special occasions, meeting up with friends or going solo.
The ladies behind the bar are amazing. All worked together to make sure everyone was taken care of. Especially Rebecca, she was so welcoming and nice. Love the atmosphere, too.

The atmosphere and outside is immersive, the food is to DIE for, and the bartenders really know how to make drinks. You can tell the staff enjoy their jobs and fixing the right drinks. "Hawthorne" is hilarious and we love her! Everyone else is on point as well. We make this a regular trip despite it being almost an hour away from us. A great date spot, or lounge spot.

I wasn't sure after reading the other reviews, I feared it might be all gimmick and no depth. But it is very good! The bar stock is deep, the staff knowledgeable and friendly, and food was very good. The speakeasy conceit is well played, sincere but not obsessive and, well, fun. The decor and staff "costumes" are consistent without being in your face.After telephoning in, we were seated at the bar. The bartender, 20s code name Hawthorn, delivered a great house drink, A Drink with No Name (main flavors, peat and ginger) as my first toe in the water. I followed that with a classic, The Last Word, which she prepared perfectly. Her sidekick then delivered on a vague flavor request, whiskey with bitter amaro. A very fine set. My companion enjoyed a Sazerac (perfect), Remember the Maine (Manhattan Variation with cherry liqueur; their interpretation was a bit quirky but good), and a straight ahead Manhattan. Food was mushroom and sausage risotto (me, very good) and meatloaf with bashed taters (companion, excellent).They were short staffed the night we were there but worked hard to serve as quickly as they could.Maybe not a place to bring Nanna or Uncle Barney. Highly recommended if you like good cocktails and a quirk or two.

We were passing through Keene, NH on the way back from some Vermont leaf peeping and Keene was pretty much the only sign of civilization on the back road highways on our way home. Keene is a college town which feels sort of like Amherst, MA with a much lower GPA. All of the restaurants in Keene felt kind of cookie cutter, like what the guy on bar rescue turns restaurants into ... not our jam.At a nearby brewery, we asked the dude behind the counter where a good spot to eat would be. He said 'Speakeasy' and we grimmaced a bit because we've been to some pretty lame ones. Soles was actually Speakeasy theme done right. A supposed 'shoe store' ... outside has signs on it which say it was closed due to Prohibition. The windows are blacked out and it looks fairly non-descript and modern on the outside.You pick up the payphone outside and someone picks up and asks how many pair of shoes you want. (the # of diners). We had no reservation on a Saturday night around 7 p.m. and luckily, the wait was only 10 minutes. I'd recommend making a reservation in advance. After 10 minutes, we got a text and they buzzed us in.Inside, the hostess and some waitresses are dressed in 1920's sparkling dresses and vintage hair styles. There is 1920's music being played throughout and red lighting gives it a warm and vintage vibe. We chose to sit at the bar. They also have couches and high tops. The theme is done right and it feels like a Disney restaurant from Disney Springs. Things are immaculately clean, it has a somewhat cheesy in a fun way theme and the staff are 100% committed to their parts as 1920's service industry folks.The meatloaf is as good as they say. It's 3 thick pieces and mashed potatoes ... you won't leave here hungry! The portions are enormous. It felt like eating a burger covered in real bacon crumbles with BBQ sauce, onions and melted cheddar. Likely one of the best meatloaf dishes I've ever eaten.The gal had a salad with grilled chicken which was also phenomenal. Well seasoned, huge portion again and the dressing was fantastic. She also had a side of french fries, which tasted how I remember McDonalds fries tasting as a kid. Perfect! Not sure if they fry in beef fat ... but something gave these fries an extra bit of taste making them amazing.Our drinks were also great. They know how to make a cocktail here! I had the Brandy Alexander which was made from scratch with freshly grated nutmeg on the top.I cannot imagine anyone who wouldn't enjoy this place. It is fun, cozy ... the food is amazing ... the staff is top notch and it has a nice 'buzz' inside ... almost like it was a sound affect of people laughing, talking and having a good time. I highly recommend this place for a memorable night. The prices aren't cheap but you more than get your money's worth.
Great time and place. Very nice in side.
