I've been here a few times, it's a fun place to bring people because of the whole speakeasy vibe. They don't take reservations so it's hit or miss if you can actually get in. Drinks are hit or miss for me too. Over time I've done drinks from the menu and the bartenders choice. I know it sounds silly but I really dislike the ice they use! It's like ice chips which cheapens the drinks, which seems to go against the suave swanky vibe. I got the pickle mule this time though and really liked it.

First time at a speakeasy. A little difficult to find (but I guess that's the point) just behind the gps address in the alley but the ambiance was beautiful! Drinks were great. Hoping to sit at the bar next time to mingle with the bartender, but I will be back!

Favorite speakeasy in Philly. No ability to make reservations though which is annoying. I would go more often if I knew I could make a reservation and not have a rude hostess say there’s a 2 hour wait. Go on a weekday.

Ranstead Room was an awesome end to our valentine's date night. The interior is dark and moody, with limited bar or table seating. The service throughout was great and fast. For drinks, the options available were pricey, but all interesting and definitely tasty. I particularly appreciated the side car given for martinis. Overall had a stellar time.

So beautiful! Intimate and cozy! Great experience!!
Was great in the past last time we were there many years ago, but very frustrated tonight. So looked forward to going again, but arrived at 12:50am on a Friday night, and they wouldn't let us in. Said they were closed. Google said open until 2am and customers were clearly still inside, ans those that were leaving were surprised they wouldn't let us in. Sad. Ruined our good memories of the place.

Good drinks and ambience. Love the energy of bartender and waitress. We came with a large group. But I recommend for groups below 5 unless you are ok to split between tables.
