New date night spot unlocked. Very intimate and eclectic atmosphere. We did not have a reservation and were able to walk in. However, I think we got lucky and suggest a reservation for the future. We indulged in a few drinks off the menu, but their version of the Espresso martini was tantalizing and absolutely divine. Ode to Jodie was another sensational option. I love that they have a seasonal menu as well as staple drinks. Great variety!
Definitely an experience. I really love the fact of the whole secret entrance through the alleyway. I think that's what really caught my attention but a nice cozy speakeasy spot. I would definitely make reservations. They get really busy.
Super solid speakeasy. Great cocktails. Fun process. The location is super apt for the theme. One of the better absinthe bars I've been to outside NOLA. The snack options are a bit thin, but anything is generally better than nothing. Give it a go and experience the fun.
