Great experience!! The drinks were AMAZING and some of the best I've ever had. Service was great. Only thing that was odd was that as that we ended our time limit, and our friend told them we knew we were getting near, the attitude changed. Like your times up, leave. May go back. Not sure. But a great experience.
We decided to try here again one year later with guests. Even more of a disappointment. Thankfully now we know where else to go in Huntsville for better drinks, better service, and better prices. We wrote down specifics but don't even care to express them at this point. The service was so poor and unwelcoming. Most in our party weren't too satisfied with our drinks, especially for the prices. It is a cool concept but not worth it. Go elsewhere. Other local places will hear out what you want and also make unique specialty cocktails for you.
Best whiskey sour I've ever had. The bartender was so fun and you could tell she was passionate about the art of a good cocktail. For each cocktail she explained an entire story about the beginning middle and end of the palate. It is pricey but a great treat for a date night or someplace special when family/friends are in town. I reserved far in advance and it was fun finding the place and sharing the secret code! My wife says it's her new favorite place for drinks in Huntsville area! Highly recommend.
OMG! We had an amazing time at the Catacomb Saturday night! Long story: When they were growing up, the kids on the street called themselves The Foxboro Gang. The kids all grew up and moved away but the neighbors hated to see the gang move on so we decided to resurrect it - we are now the Foxboro Gang v2.0. While the kids ate pizza and Coke, we eat fancy appetizers and drink craft cocktails. While the kids played board games, we play dominos. While the kids ate at the food court at the mall, we frequent the finer dining establishments in town. I like the revamped version of the gang! Saturday was a big night out for the gang. I made reservations for the Catacomb 435 three weeks prior. I was only able to get reservations for 4 people at 5:30 so I had to make the other two for 5:45 (it worked out though - they let us all in together). I was sent a confirmation email with a cryptic message telling me that I would be sent another email the day of with directions and the password. Catacomb does not serve food so we opted to have appetizers at my house before we headed downtown. I'm not going to tell you the details on where and how you get into the place - I'll let you enjoy the surprise yourself - it's part of the experience. Once in, we were seated in a comfy corner with a couch and a couple of leather barrel chairs and were told to fill out a flavor profile. It was a little confusing at first but we caught on quickly. Here, you don't specify your drink - one of their mixologists makes you a drink that fits your profile. Each is different and you won't get the same drink twice. Our first round came - most looked like a typical top shelf - various fruits, a variety of colors - but my husband's drink was a visual masterpiece. His glass was topped with a smoldering cinnamon stick. It looked so cool! While our drinks were all good, nothing else was a standout. That was soon to be resolved though. The bartender came to our table and discussed in a little more detail what a drink profile was. We each ordered our second round then sat in our comfortable corner talking about what gang members talk about (which is a lot about nothing!). Our drinks came, each were described to us and we sat back to enjoy. All of the drinks looked interesting this time - fruits in various forms, clear drinks, smokey drinks, creamy drinks, some even seemed too pretty to drink. My drink this round was just too sweet. I mentioned it to our bartender and she was happy to redo it for me. I really appreciated that and am glad I said something. Our third round came and the drinks were better yet. As the evening progressed, guests trickled in and we watched some really interesting drinks go by. Reservations are for two hours. Our bartender came over to let us know our time was ending and to settle our tabs. The drinks are priced per the amount of liquor they contain. Catacomb is not cheap. Most of the drinks are in the $15-$20 range - of course you get what you pay for. I'd call Catacomb more of an experience than a bar. I think the Foxboro Gang v2.0 might just have to make this an annual event!
Legit speakeasy! Amazing. Period. This is one of the most unique experiences I've been to. It was a hoot! They open reservations 30 days in advance and yes, you do need reservations. You aren't getting into this speakeasy without it. They will email your password and instructions the day if. Read the instructions thoroughly. We were greeted by a 1920s bouncer who got the part 200%. We got a kick out of this. The interior takes you back in time. The menus are a flavor based menu so it's going to be a surprise what you get. I promise this will be the best complex craft cocktail you've ever had!! I had 3 different ones and they will be different every time. Do yourself a favor and plan a trip here ASAP!
Huntsville, AL - 1920s themed speakeasy located in a basement linked to the Underground Railroad - Must buzz in at the red box, with a code to get in. Don't be early and don't be late. Reservations required. One of the coolest little gems I have had the pleasure of visiting lately. There's no drink menu - you make selections of flavors on your sheet and its all dealer's choice. You're in for a treat.
Expensive absolutely but worth it at least once. Make sure you sit where you can see the craft cocktails being made, that's the show. A marvelous experience that I wish I could afford more, but certainly worth a visit and probably the number one place I'll be taking everyone from out of town. HINT that I wish I knew before going! Park in the parking garage on Clinton. Street parking is terrible and it's only 2 bucks.
I've been looking forward to Downtown Huntsville getting a legit speakeasy and this is definitely it! It's complete with a call box hidden in plain sight that requires a password to get in and everything! Highly recommend making reservations a week or more out as it can fill up. The reservation time slots are for up to two hours. You must make a reservation to receive the password to gain entry. They will email this the day of, usually by 5pm at the latest. It will contain all the instructions you need. This can be done on their website. The bar itself was downstairs in the basement with a dimly lit, chill vibe. The were playing cool old movies on the tvs which really set the atmosphere. The music choice however was not quite what I expected. We were given a piece of paper to select our spirit of choice and two flavor profiles. The bartender then hand crafted our drinks based on these. This is exactly what I'm looking for at a speakeasy! The drinks were all unique and super good.
Heard about this place from a friend of mine and I instantly knew I wanted to celebrate my birthday here. We made a reservation and counted down the days until we got the code to get in. We let the doorman know what was what and he let us in, directed us down some stairs and through a door, and before we knew it we were in the lounge -- hidden away from the hubbub and the fuzz who want to get their hands on elixirs for free, the crooks. Everything about this place was classy, from the lighting to the smell, it was exactly the kind of place a guy like me wants to be after a long day working the streets for the family. Aside from speaking easily amongst other patrons, the owners have a little something called "Dealer's Choice" where, for the low price of 15 to 20 Washingtons, you get to choose two flavors and a base for an elixir specially made for you. I have to say, I was very impressed with what they came up with. The mix you see in my hand is a citrus-smokey flavored concoction with bou- I mean, apple juice, it's refined apple juice, as evident by the apple slices on the glass. It was probably the most delicious glass of apple juice I've ever had. Overall, it's a fantastic lounge. It's lowkey, classy, and they know how to keep things smooth. Tell your friends -- or don't, just make sure you know the risks. Remember what they say, loose lips sink ships, and this is one ship you do NOT wanna sink.
Great place to take visitors or for something new. Very unique and enjoyed coming here. I told the The mixologist what liquor I wanted but b was open with flavors. He did well on all 4 of my drinks and those who I went with enjoyed their drinks too. Wish someplace like this was opened near me.

This place is super cool! It's a very small space that you mostly need a reservation to access. The male bartender is INCREDIBLE! He was hilarious and very fun to watch as he crafted some of the best cocktails that I've ever had! The vibes are very cozy and ambient! The drinks are unique. I won't spoil too much, you just need to try it!! I recommend going with an open, adventurous mind! I did have to subtract one star for the location/the smell of this place. It's inside of a historic storage facility, and I'm really not sure what the strong smell comes from, but it kind of takes away from the great vibe for me. They should consider getting some plug ins or scent neutralizers. Especially with such a small space, it shouldn't be too difficult to manage. Overall, I would definitely return here soon! Keep in mind that it is on the pricey side though. :) read more

Loved this experience. Great service, amazing cocktails and relaxed atmosphere. Don't know what I was served but I do know they were great cocktails. You tell the alchemist what you like in a drink and then they do their magic. Great time. read more

I had high hopes for this place but unfortunately I won't be returning. The good: the guy working the door was super nice and tried to keep us entertained while we had to wait 22 minutes past our reservation time. Drinks were properly made, and they were very open to communication when the first drink was a flop and had to be sent back. The bad: this place may technically be a speakeasy but the atmosphere was that of a sports bar. They allowed very large and rowdy parties who while sitting in opposite sides of the place proceeded to yell around, and have loud conversations about kissing their sisters? It was very uncomfortable when I'm used to proper speakeasies that enforce a quiet and calm atmosphere. Also, having to wait 22 minutes on a Thursday night past our reservation time was a big turn off. The drink I had was good, but I've had the same type of drink before in nicer atmospheres, and I've had comparably good drinks at other bars in Huntsville that were not so loud and rowdy. Staff were nice and apologetic, but the clientele left much to be desired. read more

Lovely experience! We went close to when they had first opened. We were told this place was supposed to stay under wraps.. no pictures of the inside or drinks. No keys as to where it could be. Would've been a lot cooler if they had kept it that way, no doubt. But nonetheless a pretty cool place! read more

GREAT Experience! Get a password, pass the great looking bouncer and enter the catacomb. This intimate hidden gem while small makes a big impact on your tastebuds. Morgan made my drinks and this woman 'shonuff' knows her liquors and flavors to create a one of a kind libation that will tantalize your palate. I seriously wanted a gallon of my drink to take home it was so good. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town. read more
