    Pretzelwurst, Bahn mi, and duck hotdogs. Mac & cheese and truffle blue cheese fries
    Angela B.

    Urban hotdog's foray into the speakeasy world has a lot going for it. You enter through the alley and either donate items directly to their monthly charity for entrance or they'll add a donation to your bill. You walk right by the kitchen into a basement bar that is clean, modern, and simple. The drink menu is full of fun looking drinks, food is found by qr code on your drink coasters. And then you wait. After being seated it was 15 min before anyone greeted us (there were maybe 4 other tables, wasn't very busy). Staff was giving the energy of slammed individuals on the busiest night they've ever survived. When we finally ordered drinks and said we were ready to order food too (because how long before they'd be back?) We were told they couldn't handle that yet it was too much. The drinks were good, but not worth a 20 min wait between ordering and receiving. Food was great when we finally got it ordered it came quick - the kitchen was sending food fast and as delicious as always. Really recommend the Bahn Mi and Mac & cheese fries. We didn't order a second round. Our food was long gone and we had just been sitting and talking for half an hour with empty water glasses. We headed to a bar with a more prepared staff.

    $17 and $19 cocktails...

    This one is tough to write. I really liked Fat Franks when they first opened. They have increased their cocktail prices. I ordered a $17 cocktail that was served in a glass that looked to be from Dollar Tree. Not kidding. Nothing against Dollar tree, but C'mon... We had a reservation and waited outside about 5-10 minutes before anyone answered the phone/door. We almost left. We came to realize that the bouncer was also the doorman...Poor guy was running up the stairs to let people in, then running back downstairs to make drinks. And it's not like this place was packed. Every time I have been here it's pretty dead. I've only been on Friday & Saturday nights after 7pm. Sadly, the cocktails were lack luster. For the price, it only made the lack luster flavor sting more. The food was also overpriced and just okay - nothing mind blowing. I mean - French fries and hotdogs...c'mon... I love their concept to help the community by asking for donated canned goods as an entry fee. Overall - if I am going to chose a Speakeasy, I will be heading to Founder's.

    OK, I want to start off with saying that their delivery system is very interesting and overall different from some of the other speakeasy environments I've experienced. I love that they are partnering with local nonprofits and tying admission into donations. The space is cool. It's pretty big and easily accommodated a larger party of six of us. Service was great, they never got super busy. Our reservation was for 6:30 on a Saturday night and I believe there were two other parties the entire time we were there. I really really enjoyed the cocktail offerings, they're a bit on the price your side for cocktails and Albuquerque, but I got the dreamsicle cocktail twice and it was really good. I was able to sip a few other cocktail options that friends ordered, including the espresso martini, which was very sweet. The food options were decent. I will say I felt like the food prices were a little high for hotdogs and french fry type stuff. I would personally rather just keep it to cocktails, but it is great that they have food options.

    Overall good experience. Hotdog and fries are the only options for food, and an affogato pour ( ice cream and espresso). The ambiance is kinda flat, could lean more into the speakers vibe if it was darker, more moody. 5.5/10.

I'm not going to give away the trick to it but it was fun. Once inside we got our spot that we held. I didn't see a drink on their menu that I liked that was rum based, so I asked the kind bartender if they could make me one. I only asked that it be alcohol forward, but that I was good if it was a more fruity drink too. They brought me a concoction that was perfect. It's a real nice place. The ornate ceiling and the beautiful bar added to the regal vibes of the place. I would definite recommend Teddy's; it's one of the best speakeasies in town.

But if you're ready for an unforgettable evening, it's absolutely worth it.

It's been so long since I came up here and don't even remember if there was a restaurant before. It was the 60th anniversary of the tram so the entire restaurant was set up for casual dining. Once seated, we were bummed we didn't get a window. BUT, there was a table by the window available. I was told it was for somebody before us. Huh? Where are they? I hate to be that person, but I don't think that was the case. I kept my eye on that table and was going to cause a scene, but my partner told me to let it go. Anyway, the food was delicious. My partner had a side salad and a ceviche dish. She loved it. I had a side of tempura veggies (I loved tempura veggies and the mushroom was chefs kiss), some Santa Fe spring rolls. Mom had a burger and fries. It was a good meal and a nice area to chill. The bar was packed with hikers who were most likely post-hike and filling up on snacks and beer. That would be me if I lived here. It was a nice day overall. The tram ride, the views, the meal, etc.
