Austin is the best! Great spot :)
We come here every time we visit family in Cleveland. This place always has delicious, innovative cocktails, as well as great atmosphere & service. Plus their holiday decorations are awesome!

Austin, not Dallas, makes amazing cocktails!!! Atmosphere was super cool and roaring 20’s vibe. Fun menu and decor. Definitely will go back!

After my wife and I walked our aardvark (a long story for another time) around 4th St , we attempted to stop in to Society for a quick nightcap for ourselves and we hoped to score a suet snack for Antony (see aardvark, above). We were understandably turned away; they have rules.
After stashing Antony in a safe place, we returned and were joyfully greeted by Austin (or was it Lubbock? My memory fades.) who carefully concocted a delightful cocktail with Creme de Violette as the star ingredient.
A delightful time. Also, don't trust Society, she'll break your heart.

I rarely ever write reviews, but this place is truly a hidden treasure.
Shout out to our bartender Jordan!
I’ve been to countless bars and met more than my fair share of bartenders, but Jordan is in a class of his own. Protect this man at all costs!
His artistry with cocktails is nothing short of remarkable. His conversations were tantalizing and his knowledge base was beyond norms.
Very smart man.
The menu itself is inventive, beautifully designed and fun, but what really impressed me was trusting Jordan’s craft beyond the pages.
After a few pleasantries and questions, I gave Jordan, “Dealers choice” and every drink he served there after was balanced, imaginative, and executed with precision.
When my SO didn’t know what she wanted to order, Jordan asked her to close her eyes, imagine a place she wanted to be transported to, anywhere on the planet.
She said the mountains!
and holy smokes!
This drink did not disappoint.
The presentation, The aromatics, The flower Garnish, The flavors…
The only word to describe the drinks and Jordan’s excellence is: Ethereal.
Finding it: We stumbled upon this speakeasy completely by accident, raincoats on, dripping wet after a concert, wandering down the street looking for some food, drinks or shenanigans.
From the outside, the entrance looked more like an antique shop or maybe even a quirky little museum dedicated to mid-century modern furniture. Only when we stepped inside, and down the steps, did we realize we’d discovered something far more magical.
A Broom Closet.
The atmosphere is intimate and warm, tucked away like a secret meant only for those curious enough to seek it out. Between the cozy basement setting, the subtle vintage charm, and Jordan’s unmatched hospitality, the entire experience felt like being let in on a little secret that you almost don’t want to share, because it’s just. that. good.
If you’re lucky enough to find it, don’t just stop in -settle in. Ask questions, try something new, allow yourself to vibe. This place isn’t a bar, it’s an experience.
PS: this is not a sports bar, so don’t be rude and ask for the Lions game or any sports to be put on the TV’s. It’s not the vibe or the crowd.
Cheers!
We will be back! next time with more friends!

I have been in the past and before, they had imaginative cocktails that were different. Now there was nothing on the menu that I felt I couldn't make at home. If I'm going to a cocktail bar, I don't want an espresso martini with store bought Ketle One(tm) pre-made mixer. We also waited 15-20 minutes and were not acknowledged and had to go up to the bar to order. At 18$ a cocktail, I would expect something beyond mediocrity and factory made espresso martinis. The ambiance is impeccable to be fair.

Stopped for a drink. Wow. Loved the atmosphere. Austin was a great bartender, personable and knowledgeable. There was a nice selection of alcohol, great specialty drinks, and the charm of an authentic hidden Speakeasy. Don't miss this hidden gem.

This place used to be far better. I get that things change with the times, but at least bring back the beautiful old art deco mural!!!

Stopped in from out of town towards the end of the night/closing. We had Austin (not Dallas) as a bartender. He was super knowledgeable, kind and an entertaining bartender. Would absolutely go back.
