The menu is somewhat…read moremore creative and interesting than you might expect, but they are ultimately specializing in bar food. That's not intended as a dig, it's just what they're serving. We showed up for a Saturday lunch ahead of a snow storm, and the overall experience was good. The staff were friendly. There were clearly some number of regulars around. The space is a bit old and drafty, but that just adds a level of character. In terms of the food, we ordered a few salads and a half reuben (part of the lunch special), plus an Italian flatbread. Nothing was exceptional, but everything was nicely prepared and presented. The vegetables in the salad were fresh and crisp. The flatbread was good but not particularly noteworthy. My partner liked the rueben, but thought it could use a little more sauerkraut. The Guinness was fresh and nicely poured. All told, this was a good experience. Understand that this is more of a neighborhood hang than a destination, but it excels at filling that role.

Co-Sign Speakeasy serves a variety of excellent cocktails in the "Bank on 8th" building that was…read morebuilt in 1926. The bar's space was renovated to transport customers to the secrecy of the Prohibition era. Through OpenTable, I made a reservation for my husband and me. We entered the building through a side entrance on Amity Street, checked in with an employee at a desk, and then waited for another employee to walk us to the 100-year-old elevator (it still works!). On the fourth floor, we saw old bank items such as safety deposit boxes and mechanical check printers. We pushed a button to turn a clock handle to a certain time, and then a hidden door opened. We entered the bar, and two bartenders, Ryan and Robbie, greeted us. The menu listed vodkas, gins, tequilas, mezcals, liquors, bourbons, ryes, rums, seasonal drinks, and mocktails. Food could be ordered from the Puerto Rican restaurant Secretos De Mis Abuelos that is located elsewhere in the building. The bar consisted of a few rooms, each of which had glamorous interior design such as antique furniture, wallpaper with bold patterns, paintings, and dimly lit lamps. Beyond the bar was the Library, which had shelves of books and an old radio. The bartenders patiently repeated to us that we should pull a certain book to open another secret door that would lead us to the Red Room. We finally figured out which book to pull, and we walked down stairs to a parlor with rich, red hues, plush seating, and (at least at that time) a more private, quiet setting. I ordered the French martini (vodka, Chambord, pineapple juice, raspberry vanilla shrub, and raspberries) and the Painkiller (spiced rum, coconut rum and cream, pineapple juice, orange juice, and nutmeg), and I rate them both as 5 stars. Each of those drinks cost $13 plus tax, credit-card fee, and tip.

There's a main space with the bar with surrounding tables, a smaller back room with some comfy chairs, and a hidden room underneath that's fairly spacious. The service was great and I was able to get a drink really quickly. I liked how they let the birthday person bring in outside food and utensils and set it up in the back room. I got the Hawaiian Hangover drink and it was delicious and well crafted. I'm sure I'll be back!

They offered a hot dog menu all summer, so I tried a vegan dog and fries on my last trip. The fries needed more salt (easily fixed), but the vegan dog was a sad, sad puppy beyond fixing. The faux meat was too small for the bun and was buried under a mountain of toppings. It was also rubbery, which usually means it was overcooked. I ended up not eating most of it. I won't be getting hot dog again.

Our table enjoyed their (chicken) doener kebab, veggie flammenkuchen, double smash burger, and spicy schnizel sandwich. The grilled peach Southern tea with bourbon was particularly nice. We sat inside, where it was cooler and marginally less loud. The outdoor patio space was packed for the Stevie Wonder tribute band. Dogs welcome out there. There is reportedly parking in the back, but we didn't know that, so we parked on the street, which is free after 6pm.

A pool table and to my surprise one of those table top bowling games (this is the place for some great Instagram pics). I didn't eat but they serve food also, probably next time. If 8th and the Water Front continue to dedicate itself to revitalization I believe this place could survive long through another era of A homestead boom. I could kinda see Homestead creating its own SouthSide esque. If you are fresh in town, looking for somewhere new to add to your untapped account, or always stay here yet never been, I'd suggest giving this place a visit.
