If you love speakeasies and classy bars, then this is the spot for you! The bar is located near the restrooms where Wanderlust creamery is. Once you walk in, the vibe instantly transforms into a sexy and luxurious space with dim lighting, cushioned seats, and interesting artwork hanging on the wall. They have quite a few drinks on their menu. I like how the menu highlights the flavors of each cocktail so it makes it easier to find a drink that will suite your tastes. We ordered the beauty and the beast and friends and neighbors drink. Both cocktails tasted very light and delicious. On top of that, the beauty and the beast drink comes in a cute rose shaped glass which matches the name perfectly! The servers were very attentive and would check in on us periodically. They also give you some chips that you can munch on while enjoying your drink. This spot is perfect for a date or girls night out! I definitely want to come back and try their other drinks! read more

"Hidden entrance." Make your way past the doors to Wanderlust Creamery and other food stalls, and walk all the way to the back. Go downstairs, whether by stairs or elevator... where there are multiple bathrooms. And ask the nearest person how to get to Ladies and Gentlemen, to be let in. Fun, and whimsical, and definitely a space with a theme. First and more importantly, the cocktails and the food is definitely quality. And they will charge you quality pricing for the luxuriousness of it all. Seating, tables, candles, ambiance. I mean, the walls lined up with crafted skulls ain't gonna pay for itself. The staff is friendly, and helpful. And classy. The places oozes class. A great place to chat and catch up with friends. Where the ambient noise isn't so loud that you really need to raise your voice to talk. As a single person who came with a book to read and study... it's dim lighting so I had to make use of candlelight. This really is meant to be more of a social spot. I came in on a weekday to catch the Suntory promotion, which came with some nice collectibles to pair with your highball. I feel like every cocktail I've had here so far has a great sense of balance and technique. I'll probably come back and try their omakase course of cocktails at some point. Is it "kami no glass?" (The Glass of God) - I haven't found one that has touched my soul to that extent, but they do have an extensive list to explore. The food menu consists of luxurious bites from burrata, crudo, bone marrow, oysters, and the like. Gourmet pairings for your expensive tastes. read more

Wow what a gem in Old Pas. My husband and I were so excited to check this out, we love hidden speakeasies. Have fun finding it! Definitely make a reservation though. If you're looking for a cute place with amazing drinks that are all designed with inventive cocktails inspired by different countries, this is so worth checking out. Pricey but so worth the experiences and drinks. We started off our night here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The staff was so beyond nice and welcoming. The inside is absolutely gorgeous and the ambience is the perfect date night setting. Brandon, our server, was so beyond nice! Open to answering our questions and giving us pretty good recommendations! We got the Japanese milk bread and patatas bravas as snacks. The milk bread was complemented perfectly with the two butters we got - one sweet and one savory. The patatas bravas, omg, they were so delicious. Made with scallions and sriracha aioli, hard to dislike, when paired with perfectly crispy potatoes. As a gin lover, i was so intrigued by the sands of time, and let me tell you it did not disappoint. Who knew gin paired so well with the different herbals and ingredients paired in this drink?! So delicious and you can brew the drink longer to really let the flavors settle! The presentation, 10/10! I liked it so much I got it twice. My husband started off with the duck fat old fashioned. He's a huge lover of old fashioneds and was intrigued. He loved how smooth it was. He then got me and my best friend which is close to a Manhattan and loved the Asian twist to it. We laughed at the presentation, it was perfect. Definitely interested in trying the omakase drink experience, will definitely be back! read more

Cool speakeasy hidden away in downtown Pasadena. I won't spoil exactly how to find it, but it's hidden somewhere inside the Indiana Colony Market. Make a reservation, since I saw a large group were turned away due to a reservation issue. The ambiance and service were both great, and our server was very attentive throughout the night. The cocktails on the menu was creative and thoughtfully curated. Everything was well-crafted, though personally I tend to prefer stronger cocktails over infused-style drinks, so they felt a bit lighter to me. I ordered the Beauty and the Beast cocktail, which was presented in a unique pretty flower-shaped glass. We also ordered the Hot Honey Pizza, but it ended up taking quite a while, so unfortunately we had to cancel it. Overall, cool and unique spot worth checking out. read more

The ambiance and service was great! The place itself was very chic. I liked the decor. The food was not bad, but it was a bit pricey for some of the food. The drinks here were good. I had a mocktail and I don't exactly remember the name of it but it was some type of Beauty and Beast drink. It had a peach flavor to it and the glass cup itself was very pretty. Also they do not allow flash photography inside of the bar and restaurant. It's a great place to celebrate a birthday or special occasion. read more

If you come here expect to spend quite a bit more than you would at a standard cocktail bar, and be prepared to spend at least a couple hours. We made a later reservation and would have stayed longer but didn't know just how much of an experience it would be. Vibes here are dark and moody, and it would be a great place for a unique date, just maybe not the first one. We got the beef tartare and spicy tuna crispy rice to munch on. The spicy tuna crispy rice was worth it, the beef tartare not so much. Also decided to do the drink omakase because they make the single drink prices so expensive it still feels more worth it to do the omakase so you end up getting that instead. You tell the server what you do and don't like or are looking for in your drinks and the bartenders will make them for you. Some might be already on the menu, some may not. If there is something you really don't like and you tell the servers, they will be kind enough to replace it for you with something you do. Overall they did a good job with making mine but didn't quite hit it for my friend. The omakase is at least 3 drinks, so be prepared to have transportation after, you may be a little drunk Overall would come back or bring other people here just for the unique experience, but it is pricier than just grabbing a cocktail at a normal bar. read more

Ladies and Gentlemen was a sultry speakeasy experience for themed cocktails and light bites in a basement. It wasn't difficult to spot, as there was a sign at the Indiana Colony Market. Just look for the Wanderlust and go towards the back of the building! We were then greeted by the doorman who had a series of questions. After that you are led to the bathroom, which then leads you to the space. Their cocktail names are catchy, due to the names being irreversible binomials. For example, we ordered the Beauty and The Beast cocktail (delicious and pretty drink btw!) and Friends and Neighbors cocktail. Other ones include Day and Night, Born and Raised, and Rise and Shine. They even have an omakase experience if you really wanted to try the bartender picks. For a bite, we ordered a steak tartare. It was a light-handed portion, enough for a small bite between two people if you just want something to eat in between sips. It was decent, however, not filling and I would get food elsewhere. This is a great speakeasy in the heart of Old Town Pasadena, I'd recommend it if you're looking for tasty and innovative drinks! I loved all our drinks, and the service was excellent from beginning to end. read more

Ladies and Gentlemen is a speakeasy-style bar located inside the Indiana Colony Market in old town Pasadena. To get here, walk through the building past Wanderlust Creamery and head downstairs. You'll come across a bunch of restrooms but little do you know, one of the restroom doors is actually the entrance to the bar. We called to make a reservation for our large party of 11 but for smaller parties you can make resrvations online at Resy. Once you walk in you'll come across a vintage and modern decor. It has leather-like seats, golden skulls everywhere, celebrity portraits all over the walls, and provocative art pieces. The sand and time ($24) came in a teapot and got more herbaceous the longer the drink steeped. It was good, balanced, and I preferred it when it steeped longer. The old and fashioned ($24) was strong and spirit-forward. The a gentleman and a scholar ($24) came in a beaker and had spice notes from the cinnamon and clove. The cocktails were theatrical and creative in their presentation. For food we had the Japanese milk bread ($10), the new crispy rice ($18), the hot honey pizza ($22), and the caviar parfait ($48) which were all delicious. The milk bread was fresh and came with a sweet and a savory butter and I preferred the latter. Of the food we ordered the crispy rice was my favorite. Overall the bar had cool vibes and great service. You'll definitely pay a pretty penny for the drinks here. It was great with a large party to try the different drinks and ooh-and-ahh when they all come out in their own unique presentations. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed our evening out to Ladies and Gentlemen in downtown Pasadena. The ambience is definitely 5/5 with the dim lighting, black and gold motif, and excellent hospitality. Our server was definitely an enthusiast for the food and drink offerings on the menu. I wish I could hear her better over the EDM music playing but I got the gist of it. We were offered three types of water to start with: filtered, bottled, or sparkling. We opted for filtered, which arrived chilled and with a choice of lemon, orange or lime slice, which was a lovely touch. We ordered the Afghani flat bread to start with--it was pretty bland but was a good palate cleanser between cocktails. In contrast, the new crispy rice was super flavorful and had a really enjoyable combination of textures between the rice and the smoked salmon on top. My two drink choices were the Life and Death, followed by the Born and Raised. My husband's were A Gentleman and A Scholar, followed by Angels and Demons. The cocktails here are fun in terms of catchy names and creative presentation. 4/5. Overall I enjoyed the experience and it's a great place to come for a date night. read more

Annoyed because they forgot I had a reservation booked... Also annoyed because the waiter suggested me what ended up being the worst cocktail that we all got which was the berries and flowers. Beauty and the beast was by far the best tasting one. Movies and popcorn was good. Ma and la was good. Coffee and biscuits was a bit stronger than I would've liked. Overall would go back, but I guess just earlier in the night. read more

Finding Ladies and Gentlemen is intentionally part of the night. Entry starts through the Wanderlust / Pie Hole mini mall. If Wanderlust Creamery is still open, staff can open the door for you; otherwise, you'll need to loop around and enter from the back. From there, you take the elevator down to the basement level, which signals you're heading somewhere off-menu. IDs are checked before you go in, and you're given the chance to use the restroom beforehand -- a detail that makes sense once you see how the space unfolds. A concealed door leads into a dimly lit bathroom, and pressing a flush button reveals the actual bar hidden behind it. It's clever and theatrical without crossing into cheesy. Inside, the space leans dark, moody, and curated, with a strong emphasis on atmosphere. The cocktail program is thoughtful and well-executed -- drinks are creative, balanced, and clearly designed with intention. Cocktails run around $24, with mocktails closer to $20, which is undeniably expensive, but the quality and experience mostly justify the price point. We were also told the team runs two additional speakeasies across the street -- one tucked behind a deli and another concealed wine bar -- which adds context to how deliberate and interconnected the concept feels. All in all, a polished speakeasy that prioritizes experience, design, and well-made drinks. Not an everyday stop, but a solid choice if you enjoy immersive bars and don't mind paying for the novelty done right. read more

Initially, I headed to Pasadena hotel and Pool's bar, but they were closing early, so the bartender recommended I try out Ladies and Gentlemen. Such a great recommendation! Arrived on a whim at around 9pm. This place is a little hard to find, but if you head to the back of the little food court and take the elevator down, you'll arrive in a mysterious lobby (filled with bathrooms). You give your ID to the impeccably dressed gentleman who checks your ID and guides you to one of the resrtooms. You Press Flush and are magically transported to the inside of the bar and directly to the Hostess at the front. The interior is dark and sexy; Exactly what I want from a speakeasy environment. I was immediately sat at one of the tables and I noticed all the lovely people enjoying themselves. This place is DEFINITELY a spot for couples. If you wanna wow your significant other, come here. Its perfect for that. Me, I was on one of my world famous solo adventures, so I will definitely make it back here on a date. I do wish they had some bar top seating, It would have been better for me, but not every place is solo date friendly and thats perfectly ok. For drinks! I started with the Beauty and the Beast. Fruity delicious and refreshing. I loved it and the presentation. Very instagrammable. Next, I had the This and That - definitely the most interesting of the trio of drinks I tried. Dry, spicy, and with a sesame oil float. Definitely unexpected, but i did enjoy. Finally, I had the Apple and Pie - probably my favorite out of the bunch! It was refreshing, with cinnamon and apple flavors. Refreshing a little like Christmas at the same time. Apparently they make the apple cider in house, which was super cool. Customer service was impeccable! I had a few waiters and they were all great! Nice visit to Ladies and Gentlemen! The drinks were on the pricier side, but with the ambiance and customer service, it was totally worth it. I will definitely be back with a date in tow. This is the sexy little cocktail bar of your dreams. read more

Ladies and Gentlemen is such a fun speakeasy in Old Town Pasadena. The entrance is like an escape room that leads you to a beautiful and dark restaurant/bar. Service was spectacular. Our server was so friendly and provided great recs from the huge cocktail menu. Got the Beauty & the Beast and the Man on Fire if I remembered correctly. My friend and I love cocktail bar hopping and we both agreed that drinks were thoroughly made. All the ingredients were nicely blended together into cohesive cocktails! read more

Visited Ladies & Gentlemen as a Father's Day treat from my wife, and it completely lived up to the hype. We'd had this place on our radar for a while, and finally made it in. Tucked away beneath the shopping area near Pressed Juicery, it's got full speakeasy energy--the entrance is disguised as a restroom door, and behind it is a bouncer ready to check your ID. Once inside, you're transported. We were greeted immediately and seated at a perfect table for two. The space wasn't packed, which gave us room to settle in and take our time with the menu. We started with an order of oysters (my personal favorite--even got Miori to indulge me), followed by the braised short ribs and a hot honey sausage pizza. Every single dish was delicious and well-balanced, and the portion sizes hit the mark. Of course, the star here is the drinks--this place is known for custom cocktails presented with a little theatrical flair. I went with the "Give and Take" (beautifully done) and a classic Old Fashioned. Solid drinks, great attention to detail. Our server, Michaela, was warm and professional--super helpful and happy to answer questions. The whole ambience was moody, dark, and stylish. Loved the tasteful nude art on the walls and the overall cool, curated vibe. There was a DJ setup in the corner, but no live music during our visit. Still, the background playlist set the mood just right. Highlights: - Speakeasy entrance through a fake restroom door - Great service and zero rush on a holiday weekend - Creative cocktails + delicious small plates - Romantic, dark aesthetic perfect for a night out - Already planning our return to try more of the drink menu read more

This is such a unique speakeasy. Made reservation for 9pm on a Friday. We were sat as soon as we got there. The space is darkly light and intimate perfect for date night or a night out with friends. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable and the service was impecable. We ordered a couple of drinks that were delicious highly recommend Beauty and the beast and Apple and pie. We also ordered the crispy rice, pizza and bone marrow you cannot go wrong with any of those choices! Over all great space, vibes and menu highly recommend. read more

Ambiance was amazing. From the secret entrance to the soft lighting and romantic feel inside. The service was impeccable.

We came here mainly for the drinks, and honestly, they were all super creative, really pretty, and totally photogenic. Drinks like the Beauty of the Beast and the Burn XXX really took the dining experience to another level. The flavors were interesting and fun to try, though I wouldn't say they were super smooth. We also got a few appetizers to go with the drinks. Everything looked great when it came out. The potato salad and short ribs were both well-cooked with some nice Asian fusion seasoning. The milk bread was a bit disappointing though. It didn't have much flavor, and the texture was a little dry, not like the soft and fluffy Japanese milk bread I'm used to. The pizza was tasty though, with a nice balance of sweet and savory. The ambience here is seriously something else. It's a speakeasy-style bar with gold skulls and dark, moody vibes that really give it a cool, mysterious feel. We went on a weekday, so it wasn't crowded at all, which I loved. Service was really attentive too. We had a trainee helping us, and it was sweet to see how the team was guiding her and paying attention to the little details. You can tell they work well together and care about the experience. read more

Interesting friendly speakeasy. Pretty cool interior, subdued atmosphere. We went for a weeknight BD celebration. My baby bro and his BFF. We had a nice relaxing convo, I was surprised how chill it was for such a packed place. Every table was full. But no loud mouthed obnoxious butt holes or yakety yak yakers. This was my third time. First for my guests. The drinks are all excellent and unexpected. Don't focus on the distillate as much as the flavor profile stated on the menu. As an example I ordered a burning man. Our friend stated "he could not stand rum drinks" he was surprised and really liked the rum drink. read more

Woo! This place is pricey. My friend and I made a resy here. The speakeasy element upon arrival was fun. It's dark and sexy with a lot of black and gold decor. Strong date night vibes. I didn't see more than 2 people at any table. We did the 3 cocktails each, picking from the select menu. We ordered flatbread as well. Service was fine. Each cocktail had its own presentation so it takes some time to make. The flavors were very unique! I liked 2 of my 3 drinks. The flatbread was good too. This place is more of an experience for the drinks and but it was pretty expensive. For occasional date nights only! read more

I was genuinely so shocked when I walked into ladies and gentlemen! I expected a small cocktail bar, and was met with a large and beautifully decorated restaurant! the entrance to get in was so unique and a fun experience in and of itself (no spoilers though ;)). the menu mostly consists of unique cocktails and a couple small appetizers to add as well. I ordered the milk and cereal cocktail and it came in a super cute milk carton shaped glass and some Cheerios and a small toy on the side. the cocktail itself was clarified, which I didn't expect, but surprisingly, it was very fragrant with the pandan and hazelnut notes! the extra cereal and toy (which is supposed to mimic a toy you find in a cereal box) were an extra fun touch. when talking with our server more, he told us that a lot of the cocktails come in very elaborate and fun presentations and my friend then ordered the burning and man (which came with a super cool fire display). I also ordered the hot honey pizza which was pretty standard for a pizza and was a good snack while we talked and drank. overall, all of the staff there were such a vibe and it felt so fun to be inside there! I will definitely be coming back for special occasions and bringing some new friends to impress :) read more

I am a huge fan of speakeasies so I was excited to try out this spot! The entrance is a restroom which is pretty cool when you press the flush button and the door opens up. The place is very spacious but also very dark and there's a lot of very scandalous artwork all over the walls. The waitstaff here are very attentive and polite. Some of the people in our group went for the drinks with cooler presentation. One of which had some fire and one of which had some foam but both of them just seemed kind of forced and it didn't add to the drink at all. I got a melon cocktail that tasted super artificial and a bit like cough syrup. The cocktail ingredients also just didn't mesh well together. I like what this place is trying to do with their cocktails but unfortunately the drinks and the presentations both still need a lot of work. read more

Ladies & Gentlemen is a well-hidden speakeasy at the end of that shopping hallway where Wanderlust Creamery is located. Just take the elevator down and then GUESS which one of the 5 (or 6?) bathroom doors you have to go through. I've said too much already! Service is fantastic, even the food itself, which is not the main selling point of this place, is great. Patatas Bravas are top-tier! I am not a drinker at all but I came here with friends and truly enjoyed the atmosphere, the customer service, the side dishes and I even tried one of their non-alcoholic cocktails (Android And Apple, highly recommended). read more

Sexy. Swanky. Mysterious. Unique. Giving some Grey Shades vibes. We only discovered the place because of a sign out on the street - no indication of where to go in the food area you need to walk though with random counter food shops and patrons who have no idea what is going on in the bowels of the building. Took an elevator to the basement and was met by a mysterious man. He asked if we wanted to become members. I seriously asked him if there were vampires in there because the whole thing felt a bit sus. The entrance and inside were worth it. Definitely an interesting experience. The drinks are super creative - artistic and delicious... brought out with mirrors, wooden figures, fire... It's a special treat for date night. Pricy, but a drink and an appetizer or dessert isn't too bad if you want to check it out. read more

This has to be the one of the coolest speakeasy in all of LA. First, there is a hidden entrance. You need to walk through the ice cream store where the address takes you to and go all the way to the back, then take the elevator downstairs. I am going to stop here because I don't want to ruin the surprise for you! The inside is dark, elegant, classy and excluded the coolest vibes. My friend got the margarita pizza which was delicious! I got the celery salad; it was a bit heavy on the acid, but still refreshing. I got a mock-tail, beauty and the beast, and my friend got the angeles and demons cocktail. She said it was good. I don't drink. I was mainly there for the ambiance. And the ambiance was spell-bounding. I felt transformed into a different world. Service was excellent. We went on a Saturday night at 7pm and it wasn't crowded yet. I do highly recommend making a reservation and for the main dining room. The atomosphere is better there than the side room. Overall the experience did not disappoint. My girlfriend and I were pretty giddy with excitement before, during and after we got there. I highly recommend this place for date nights, girls night out, entertaining out-of-town guests, and celebrations! read more

Short Review: Nice, intimate experience for sure. Small groups of 3-4 encouraged to have more fun. Not really a date place unless you're both into this sorta thing. Service was great, drinks really well-balanced and worldly. Long Review: This place is your stereotypical speakeasy with the hidden entrance, dark mysterious vibes, cool wait staff and great drinks. The bonus is that they have really upscale bites that are way better than typical bar food. It's like Asian-fusion goodness. To enter, you have to go through the building doors in the back alley. Take the elevator or stairs all the way down to the basement where you see signs for the bathrooms. Now the TRUE speakeasy would have made you guess which bathroom door to enter, but they make it easy on you by having an attendant there to ask if you're there for Ladies & Gentlemen and then punching in the code to open the door. Once inside the first bathroom door you have to "flush" to get into the establishment through the second door. (I think they'd do better to change the code daily and give it out only to those savvy enough to find it.) The drinks are from all over the world and they instruct you to order to your taste as opposed to the type of alcohol. However, I don't do well with all types of alcohol so I limited mine to ones that won't give me a hangover. Both of mine were good, one (The Burning Man) much better than the other one I ordered. They justify the absolutely outrageous prices for their drinks by giving you a show and presenting them to you in some crazy way. Not worth the price. Just give me the drink... The food was really delicious and there was a nice selection. I will say, it would have been great for them to suggest pairing of the food with the aromas of the drinks. I do t believe that the food menu matches or compliments the varied drink selection and that's what would have put this over the top for me, and frankly justified the high prices. All in all, though, I enjoyed my time. I may bring some friends here again - but it would have to be a special occasion. My bill for just me - two drinks, two appetizers - was $97. Sheesh! read more

Ladies & Gentlemen is such a fun and high end speakeasy experience. I ordered the Beauty and the Beast cocktail, and it was more than just a drink. The presentation was creative and added to the whole experience. You can tell they put a lot of thought into both the flavors and the visual impact. We also tried the pizza with hot honey, which was the perfect savory sweet combo. This place is definitely worth checking out! read more

Service is good, ambiance is good, even music is good... but I was actually really disappointed by the drinks. The flavors sound amazing on the menu and we were kind of told that the cocktails come with unique presentations, but in reality it was really gimmicky. Looks like they regularly switch up their menu items to keep things interesting though. My cocktail didn't taste anything like what it was supposed to contain (which was pandan, either some fruity or floral notes, and a creamy liqueur) and the presentation wasn't cohesive. It was supposed to resemble milk and cereal but why? It didn't pair well with the drink itself at all in my honest opinion. The cheap box of cereal and random toy on a lackluster steel plate reallllllyyy could've had so much more potential. read more

Food 1000/10 Service 10000/10 Ambiance 10/10 Okay ladies and gentlemen is officially my friends and my new favorite place. We had this place bookmarked and decided to come yesterday since we were going to be in Pasadena and let me say this is Pasadenas best place in my opinion I have not ever came across another speakeasy with food and drinks and everything just so perfect. Each drink we ordered came out with a presentation and not only did it look good like other places it was delicious; side note if ur looking to go have shots they don't do that. each food item we ordered was immaculate one was better than the other I believe we tried almost everything besides like 3-4 things and I'm already craving everything I ate yesterday because WOW! Now our waitress deserves her own few sentences because she was one of the best waitresses I've had in a very long time we had a million questions about every drink we told her what each one of us like and she picked and paired all of us with a drink that we loved so much we all had 3-4 rounds of it. She was smiling and happy and so friendly we literally wanted her to clock out and sit down with us that's how much we loved her. I will be coming back on a Friday and requesting to sit wherever RAYA can be our waitress, she deserves a recognition a raise something. Oh btw they have a dj spinning the vibes are just so damn amazing the wall art everything. Ladies and gentlemen go to Ladies and Gentlemen like run fast! read more

- ~ * DON'T FORGET TO FLUSH * ~ - This place is inside wanderlust ice cream, walk straight down to the elevators and go down to the bathrooms. Once you're there, tell the person you have a reservation. They will enter in a code for the bathroom and say "don't forget to flush." Once you're inside "the bathroom" you'll flush and enter. It's a pretty cool experience!! The drinks were pretty strong. If you don't like the alcohol taste and prefer something sweet get the Man & Fire it also comes with a little presentation for the drink. read more

Review: 6/10 Overall Experience Had this place on my list for a while and finally got the chance to check it out. The entrance looked cool, but we were thrown off by the fact that the restrooms felt more like generic office building public restrooms--not what you'd expect in a place selling an "experience." Once the doorman got our group of four ready, we were seated in the main room. The ambiance was great , and the DJ was playing some really good music--we were seated right next to him, which added to the vibe. Our server (never caught their name) handed us menus. We were hyped for the cocktail presentations, but honestly, that part was a letdown. If I'm paying for an experience, I want some flair--lights, smoke, theatrics. PLEASE more Finger bite options. Doesn't hurt to add some wings or calamari. Here's a rundown of what we tried: Beauty and the Beast - Expected smoke or lights... it had none. Disappointing. This and That - Could've used some fire or drama Kiss and Tell - Tasted like a basic bar drink Day and a Night - Also basic Apple and Pie - Meh The Hot Honey Pizza (with arugula) - Delicious! Milk and Bread - Pretty good Neighbor and Friends - A solid, simple drink Overall, the ambiance and food helped carry the experience, but the drinks (which are supposed to be the main attraction) didn't live up to the hype. read more

Pros: ambiance, wait staff, creativity Cons: hard to find, drinks were a hit or miss, overly priced, food could be better Food is quite average especially for the price you're paying even understanding the type of restaurant.

Cute speakeasy with overpriced drinks and food. A bit disappointed that the drinks are premix but they have perfected the drinks presentations for social media. Service is great but depending on the time can be a bit slow but they do have a beautiful interior for you to look at while waiting. Worth visiting one time - jf you like it (good) if it was just okay - fortunately for you, there are other speakeasies in the area. read more
