    Old Fashioned
    Merrill O.

    I do love me a good speakeasy, and this one did not disappoint. Fun entrance, excellent service, and the bartender (Christian, I think his name was) made me a spectacular Old Fashioned...and I'm a harsh judge of Old Fashioneds. LOL Prices were quite reasonable, especially for that neighborhood. I will be back!

    I happened to come across this place and stopped by on a sunday. They closed at 1. I had no idea it was a bookshelf entry to a beautiful bar downstairs. The vibe here is so nice. The music is fire. They play r&b and rap. The drinks were top tier and Christian our bartender was so nice. I definitely will be back. This is great for a date or night out with friends. I definitely didn't expect for this location to bring the vibes.

    I'm a sucker for a speakeasy, but who isn't? My friends stumbled upon this place after visiting APB as we wanted to keep the night going with more cocktails! This place definitely didn't disappoint. I ordered the Pistolero with Blanco tequila and A Great Pear and both were fantastic. Pistolero is pretty much a spicy margarita and A Great Pear had pear flavored vodka with passion fruit which was so refreshing. I love craft cocktails and our bartender, Harvey, did a bang up job. There's bar food as well which we didn't partake in. I'll definitely be back with more friends.

    Drinks are solid and venue is nice. Kind of an interesting speak easy. It's located behind a hookah lounge. I've had better drinks but it was a decent spot to catch a drink. They had a pretty extensive cocktail list. Half of em were the usual cocktails you can find anywhere and half were more original creations. Overall the drinks were decent if anything I'd come back for the venue. It's a nice place to just grab a drink

    Such a cute speakeasy - we lucked out with our random Yelp pick. When you enter, you're gonna walk straight down and pass two doors. There's a couple doors to trick you in the small back room, so it makes for a fun surprise, esp for a date. Ricky was such a sweet bartender. Asked him to watch our drinks when we stepped out for a break - the first time, i think the busser accidentally cleared our section, so Ricky made us new drinks. One of the drinks was incorrect but we appreciated the gesture nonetheless - it was a huge pleasant surprise to see these two drinks taken off our tab. I guess that was good karma on my bf's end for not complaining - I was gonna kindly mention the mistake . The second time we stepped out, Ricky watched our drinks and placed napkins over our drinks to ensure they remained safe. That was such a thoughtful gesture. Setting was really lovely, well spaced, and music wasn't too loud. It did get progressively louder but not unbearably so. We visited on Monday night.

    Ambiance: Upscale bar/dressy. Very nicely designed. Service: Poor. I measured this with the following on a fairly slow night. - We were seated for 20mins until the bartender noticed we made eye contact with him and took our order. - Server Neglected to bring cutlery and new plates as requested. - Server wouldn't check on us for long periods of time. - We clearer the table ourselves at one point and transferred plates onto the empty table next to us as a hint. The server passed by a few times while looking at the vacant table next to us and proceeded to clear it after the third time. - Our bill was incorrect twice. On the second time we weren't given an itemized receipt and noticed the charge was three times higher than it should've been. After our inquiries we found that they added multiple items to our tab that weren't ordered by us. Food: Mediocre - Tomato basil mozzarella flatbread were just as it was spelled. - Artichoke dip was bland but worked well with my drink. Tips: I would maybe come back just for a drink. But would pay in cash and look throughly at the receipt. Parking: Street parking How to find: Walk through the hookah lounge to the back room. This was actually very cool. How to improve: I think this place has a lot of potential as the location is great and style of the place is very nice. I would definitely encourage to spice up the flavor for menu items and train staff.

    Drinks are strong. Music is good. Service is attentive and friendly. Chill Sunday night. Happy Anniversary Babe!

    S/o to our bartender and server Alex and Annahita!! They are awesome!! This place has CRAFT cocktails and worth the wait. Never tried the food but passing by, they look pretty good. I had the Melrose Station the first time but all their signature cocktails are legit. Ask the bartender what kind of drinks you like and he can match it for you. I went on a **speakeasy tour** (Airbnb s/o to REBECCA) and discovered this place. Who would have known this hookah place was a nice, date vibe atmosphere? If you want a romantic, nice date night or legit cocktails with bartenders knowing your taste buds, come here!

The restaurant is beautiful and reminds me of being in Mexico. A Spanish theme and style. A lot of seating and it's also spacious with an outdoor patio that is open to the customers and also widely used for many event. Everything was clean from what I noticed. The music volume was tolerable as well as the selection of choice. Felt like I was on vacation for a min. A great spot to have drinks. A great to spot to meet up or even come for a date. The Melrose Mule was cool. Very refreshing like the bartender mentioned. It was different than the usual mules I get. And the Improved Whiskey was like having an Old Fashion and Whiskey Sour together. It did not disappoint. I also had an attentive bartender who had a good attitude. Didn't take long for him to make my drinks nor put in an order for a smash burger. The smash burger was acceptable. It was good, however, I was expecting something a little bit bigger in size. I like the presentation with it being wrapped in foil. It was cooked perfectly, it was hot and flavorful. No complaints other than the size. I wouldn't mind pulling back up for another happy hour when I'm back in the area. They have some more drinks I would love to try.
