This speakeasy is a hidden gem 💎. If you're looking for something different for date night this is it. The drinks are amazing and the staff are super friendly!

Horrible experience. They charged me 28 bucks for one beer. After I paid, they didn't give me the bill for me to sign/tip and charged a 5 dollar tip without my consent. I came back the next day to try and solve the issue with them, but the bartender was reactive and rude and asked me how I could prove that I only had a single beer. Except, I can’t do that since they didnt give me the Bill / receipt. All I have is a 28 dollar charge on my credit card after drinking one beer
 So yeah, pay attention and be careful in order not to get scammed like I did.

The guys at Northside Speakeasy do a fantastic job. Travis is one of my favorite bartenders anywhere, and John's energy is unmatched. I highly recommend stopping in.

This place is truly a gem! Wide variety of cocktails to suit anyone, all expertly crafted. Travis B, was our main bartender and he was so attentive and professional, even as the evening got busy. Definitely my new favorite bar! Thanks again for a great evening

Stopped in after a tattoo appointment for some quick bevs. Got the Painkilla, an Old Fashioned, a Carrot Cake Martini, and a Jallisco Dole Whip. I thought we were going to have to order up at the bar, but a server came to the couch we were sitting. The drinks were very good, hand crafted, and we couldn't taste the booze in them. The decor was very classy and pulling the Cracker Jack box to get in through the news stand was great. It was also great getting to watch people struggle to get in through the CCTV feed. haha

The drinks are fantastic here. Very well balanced. There is no convenient parking for this place due to its proximity to luigi's. But if you can find street parking, it is worth stopping. It is very small inside space is limited and it becomes quite loud. But the drinks make up for it there is a good variety everyone will find something. I highly recommend the whisky sour.

I absolutely love Northside Speakeasy! The drinks are top-notch, and the atmosphere is perfect for a night out. My favorite day to visit is Martini Monday. They offer amazing martinis at a great discount! Whether you’re a cocktail connoisseur or just looking for a cozy, hidden gem, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend

Northside Speakeasy is an absolute gem! The drinks are expertly crafted—each cocktail is a masterpiece with incredible flavors and presentation. But what truly sets this place apart is the atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, the staff treats you like family. It’s got that “Cheers” vibe where everyone knows your name, making you feel like a regular even on your first visit. Whether you’re looking for a cozy date night spot or a place to unwind with friends, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!

After entering the speakeasy I approached the bar and said excuse me I’d like to order a drink. The bartender then told me “yea you and everyone else”. I understand that the establishment was busy as it was a very nice day outside, however this is not how you talk to paying/ tipping customers. I left shortly after this encounter.
