Speakeasy is the perfect name for this steakhouse! You walk into an old beat up building through an…read moreold beat up door then immediately walk through a little bit nicer door and bam, you're in a fine dining, white linen table cloth restaurant! Taylor was amazing, our bartender made perfect martinis and the food was off the charts! The shrimp cocktail was six of the biggest shrimp ever, the Chicken Dianne was rich and delicious and hubby's Wagyu Ribeye was spectacular! The show stealer was the pork belly, it was rendered to the perfect melt point with a flavor all it's own, no sweet sauce, just pork! It's in the middle of nowhere but oh so worth the trip!

One of the more unique places I've been and I'm glad I went. I recently took a new job on the road…read moreand it has brought me to new spots in the US I have not been yet. I always take advantage of that by trying out the local fare. This place was special and deserves all the stars! It is at the corner of 3 or 4 farm roads kind of in the middle of nowhere. You walk through a series of doors before entering the hostess area. It was dim lit as you would expect a speakeasy to be and I was greeted immediately. I was by myself and the bar was open so that's where I went. It was busy and had I been with more people we would have needed a reservation.. it was pretty busy. I ordered the house special drink which was a dirty martini with blue cheese olives and it was perfect. I then ordered the 9oz sirloin which you can have it with just the normal seasoning or they have a list of ways you can get it like Oscar, béarnaise.. etc. I got it with a red wine mushroom reduction and it also comes with a salad and 1 side. All the dressings are house made and I picked mashed potatoes and brown gravy. The steak was cooked just the way I asked which was medium rare, it was juicy, seasoned well and the red wine reduction just added to the deliciousness. The mashed potatoes were buttery, soft, light and airy and the brown gravy wasn't overly salty and was perfect! I would love to bring my wife to this place if I'm ever in that area. I might even take a trip just to go to that place!

We were lucky to come on the day the tri-tip was released from the 20 hour sous vide - it was savory as a sandwich, and a succulent add to their steak Mac and cheese. We sat on the breezy patio, relaxing with string lights and pillowed seating- this is a small town (about the same as where we're from ) and being across from the fire/police house felt like community. Will definitely be back, hopefully earlier in the day so we can visit the Robert Henri museum next door

I was surprised this place didn't already show up when doing a search but I'm so glad I was the one…read morethat got to add this place to Yelp! I don't live in Hastings anymore, but I did grow up here and was back visiting family. We were looking for a place near my nieces' hotel and happened upon this place. Now there were definitely no places like this in Hastings when I was making the rounds. But then, back in the day I probably wasn't looking for martini bars either. What a fun, friendly, and fantastic place. I think we came in four or five nights in a row and the owners couldn't have been friendlier. That's right, I said "the owners". They may have other staff as well but while we were there it was the owners who were bartending and serving, and they couldn't have been more welcoming. The drink menu was amazing from start to finish, (definitely have the (Blueberry Mojito) and the prices reasonable. I'm sure it's a Midwest thing but I appreciate being able to go out and enjoy myself without having to spend about a day's wages like when I go out on the East Coast. They really made it a great place to relax and have a cocktail or two at the end of the day . . . . obviously, since we kept coming back night after night . . . . and will definitely stop again on my next visit to Hastings. A couple other quick things before I end this. First, there is a bar menu where you can order from a nearby restaurant. Second, the artwork on the wall is fantastic. Something interesting to look at in every direction . . . . and you can buy it if you really like it. Usually in places where restaurants or bars double as gallery space the artwork is small and mismatched by multiple artists. Nothing wrong with that, but I find it distracting. Here the artwork was all by a single artist I believe, and larger enough that it seems part of the decor. And at least the ones near me seemed reasonable priced. (We sat at the same table every night, so I only saw a few up close.) There's one was one funk one that I might have bought if it weren't for the fact that I had driven here from DC and still had to drive back and had already spent more than I planned on the trip here . . . . and still had several stops planned for the return trip. (Graceland, Kentucky Bourbon Trail, Mammoth Cave . . . etc.) Final words, C'mon Hastings (and people just visiting), show this place the support it deserves . . . . and have a cocktail for me.

Jesus let me know that Gillies is the only bar that has Tequila, I'm a tequila drinker and so it was just made to be. Drinks were good, ended up buying a $1 roll the dice for a random shot game and it tasted like coffee so that was a surprise.

First of all our service was excellent. My husband had prime rib which he ordered medium rare and…read moreit was definitely cooked medium, no rare to it, he said it was okay but he's had much better. I had a bacon wrapped filet that was supposed to be med. rare, but again it was overdone, but the flavor was okay. I could not tell that there was really any bacon around it as it was burnt. I ordered a loaded baked potato for $2 extra but that was a joke. My husband's regular baked potato had more sour cream on it than mine and the bacon, sour cream and cheese was skimpy at best, plus it was dry underneath that little bit of topping. The prices were overly high, and I know beef is high, but you can go to a well known chain steakhouse and get a more reasonable and better steak experience than here. The drinks were very high priced also. We had dessert after our meal and it was very good. Only reason we ate here to begin with was we were given a gift certificate to this place. We raise cattle and so we know good steaks and this is not a place we would go to again.
