    It was our first time but not the last time. This place is a hidden gem in Rancho Cucamonga. We tried few drinks and they were all amazing. The only snacks they have is plenty of amazing popcorn on the house. Nice intimate place

    They do not have food. It is a speakeasy cocktail bar. But let me tell you it is fabulous! We got the honor of working with the mixologist Griffin who totally outed himself with the mango foam on a drink, I let him create. We were all pleased with all of our cocktails they were well balanced well put together. It's really cute inside a New Mexico inspired theme with cow print a beautiful bar and decorated for the holidays. I will definitely be back. There was more on the menu. I wanted to try.

    Fantastic new speakeasy that opened up 8 months ago! So excited that a spot like this is in my hometown. The layout and decor was very thoughtfully planned and the service was fast and easy. Drinks here were excellent and presentable. Sorry for not remembering the names of the drinks. The highlight for me personally was the popcorn. It was covered in a layer of spices making it really addicting and perfectly paring with the drinks! Will definitely be coming back soon!!

    I came here with a girl friend on a Saturday night with reservations for 7:30pm. The entrance is to the side of Native Son. It's easy to spot because there's a host stand in front of the door with a sign. We were told there would be a 90 minute time limit but we stayed far past that and they seemed to be fine with it as long as we continued to order drinks. The inside is dimly lit with a bit of a modern southwestern flair to it. I personally think the big window/exit door at the end takes away from the "speakeasy" vibe but not a big deal at all. We were given unlimited popcorn, which was great to snack on with our drinks. We both ordered from the menu at first and I got the Blue Sky, which I thought was too sweet for my taste. For our next rounds, we opted to do bartender's choice and our drinks came out excellently. I told him I typically like gin and that I wanted something refreshing and herbal, and I got just that! I would recommend trying bartender's choice during your visit.

    This is a new business, I believe they said opened just a little over a year. The place was empty but I gotta tell you, I really liked the vibe. The bartenders and other staff were very friendly and the drinks were great. The decor is kinda funky and interesting. We were there about 2 hours and it really had a welcoming atmosphere. I fully intend to make it my local watering hole and you should check it out. I'm sure they'll appreciate the business.

    Sundowner and blue sky. Blue sky was on the sweeter side.

    This speakeasy through a random door was a gem. Interior cozy, modern rustic with a touch of industrial chic. Drinks were served with unlimited amount of popcorn. Service was quick, bartenders were friendly and drinks on menu along with bartenders choice were all soooo good. Definitely try the bartenders choice! Wish they open till 2am!

    I first saw this place on Instagram and had to check it out. It's such a unique spot that's easy enough to find. Absolutely LOVED the drinks and the popcorn was addicting. The service was super nice too. Definitely looking forward to coming back

    The ambiance is everything! We made a 9pm reservation so it was not busy! Only 2 other tables in there at that time. Drinks were great and original. Got a classic lemon drop and ended up getting another because it was so balanced. This is so great for a romantic date night!

    Incredible drinks and excellent service. Ambiance is cool and relaxing. Highly recommend. *only caveat, make sure you eat before you get there, otherwise those delicious drinks will knock you out.

    My friends and I went just as it opened and I was able to make a reservation online. I believe they do just drinks and not food (a lot of food options in haven city market). They had popcorn on the table but it was stale and really seasoned with a lot of pepper. The drinks were ok for the price, I didn't feel like they were super special. My friends wanted a dirty martini and our sever convinced them to get the house special take on a dirty martini and they were not a fan.

    Unlimited Spicy popcorn

    The ambiance was inviting. Servers pleasant. We we're disappointed to learn popcorn was the only food. Other than that, drinks were good..

    Such an amazing experience from start to finish! The staff is so friendly, reservations were easy to make! The drinks blew us away! If you don't find something on the menu, always just ask for a surprise! The on menu cocktail we tried was "blue sky" I believe. Definitely for the folks for who like it a little sweeter! Overall this is definitely going to be the new hang out spot in Rancho! Make reservations ASAP!!

    Spicy Marg. Delicious, pretty and just the right amount of spice!

    First time here after being a long time Haven house customer but also one who loves a good speakeasy! So let's first talk about speakeasies. Speakeasies, a time prohibition era. Where liquor was forbidden. It was candlelit, moody and secretive. Coming into this speak easy, I get the concept. Loved the decorative aesthetics HOWEVER, I was hoping for more of a secretive moody vibe than what I walked into. It wasn't bright but, I felt it lacked the intimacy that, I guess I was expecting, given it was a speakeasy. The candlelit adobe fireplace was def my fav! A vibe! The wall to wall mocha cabinetry felt a little "kitchen vibe" It didn't match with the delicious drinks being slayed! Bartenders are chefs kiss! Attentive, quick, efficient and delivers an esthetically pleasing drink that also taste delicious! Zero complaints there. The Guy at the front door however, seemed a little cold and unwelcoming. ( Asian guy. Idk name just dry. Not mean, not rude but dry) hostess was very sweet. Hostess sat us to our spots where popcorn and already poured water was set. To me, I personally would like to see a fresh glass poured to know water has not been sitting at the bar for lord knows how long. Idk just a weird concept. I get it, but just odd. Pop corn was good but a bit stale. They made. A fresh batch and was 100% all in. All in all, A great spot, great spot for the drinks, staff was attentive as mentioned just the ambiance was missing what the deliverance. Have some suggestions from a design perspective if interested. Great spot and can see it being such a great addition to growing community!

    Suki telling us about this funky liquor. He made a fabulous summer drink with it after.

Now though you just walking into the closet and they open the door for you to go in. But it is cool though that they allow you to use your phones and take non- flash photos. Before they would kick you out if they saw you taking pictures and they were super strict!! Saw several people kicked out. I do love how they change the drink menu seasonally. And their bartenders are so good you could tell them what you want and they'll make it to your liking. Like what kind of liquor, sweet, fruity, tart, refreshing etc. Their knowledge of what goes together is amazing. My wife and I ordered the same drink but asked for totally different liquors and it was amazing. They do have a food menu, which is the same as the main restaurant, but no samdwhichs or burgers. They are really quick with the drinks. And they taste amazing. Prices are like $15, which you cant find anymore. Especially with their quality!! The drinks look so pretty. The food is good too Tacos are amazing, brussel sprouts are good. Everything here is good. And yhe food comes out quickly too!! The decor is dark. Very dim lights. Odd art on the walls. Evidently women who have killed men. Which i thought was a weird theme to go with. Seating inside is tight. We were on the couch and the high tops must've been like 5 inches away from our heads. So you can hear everyone's conversations. Fortunately for us this time around there was only 1 other person at the bar. So it felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. Bartender was super cool. Gave us a complimentary drink. Overall it was a very good night. Great drinks. Great prices. Felt very exclusive.

I also tried the mushroom mole tostadas, which I was very curious about, I feel they would have been great if they weren't so salty. I took 1 bite & could not finish the rest. I did mention to the person attending us & they were kind enough not charge us for that order. Overall our experience was great, I would definitely visit back to their tostadas de tinga & enjoy a cold beverage. I appreciate the phenomenal service.

After our party of six chatted over cocktails and preyed on pupus, we moved to a "secret" room tucked in the back of Stowaway and walked into a Belly Of The Beast. The founders and co-owners of Stowaway, Leonard Chan and Dominic Iapello, created this extension to the tiki bar with a wildly interesting Pinocchio theme and the famed encounter with Monstro the whale all the while serving the same offerings in Stowaway but with also an exclusive limited menu just for this adventure. With its proximity to Disneyland and its Enchanted Tiki Room, with the very niche underground-like society of tiki culture they found a consistent customer base and the thrill of island escapism through colorful cocktails, pleasurable pupus, tropical trimmings, and nostalgic know-how. How would my belly handle the beastly drinks concocted here!? PURCHASE(S) Gepetto's Last Words ($16.00): Intrigued by the cocktail's name, this elixir was crafted with Fid Street Gin, tangerine, creme de violette, lemon, and cucumber, it was a citrusy refreshing sweet drink that was decorated with bright yellow petals. It was nice, but for whatever reason it just didn't quite hit the spot. [ONION RINGS/STRAWS/STRINGS ALERT - 4.0 of 5.0 STARS] Onion Rings ($9.00): A decent portion with rings of medium to large sizes, these were hot, dark golden browned, crunchy, and had a slight tendency to crumble when bitten into while the onion ring (sweet Maui!) rarely pulled out at times. They were lightly oily while the catsup wasn't needed but used. SERVICE While in Stowaway, we informed our male server to let us know when we were allowed to enter the belly. Once inside and situated, we had the place and bartender to ourselves. After we all perused the menu, we placed our orders, and everything arrived within ten minutes. The rest of the time was spent chatting, picture taking, and our bartender checked in on us also giving a Dole Whip taster. All was casual, chill, and somewhat on island time - aloha and mahalo! PARKING (FREE): They shared a medium-sized private lot with several other businesses who were closed at this time with plenty of spots - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE "Hidden" inside Stowaway which was located within a strip mall, the entire theme was based on the Pinocchio story, the interlude in time spent inside Monstro, and as we entered it felt like the beginning of the Disneyland "Storybook" ride as you road a canal boat into the mouth and sharp teet of a whale. There were several marionettes (appropriate and non-appropriate) that hung from the ceiling and belly walls, along with other Disneyesque memorabilia, a few sitting booths, and a tiny bar at the end of the roo. No natural lighting whatsoever while an assortment of extremely low-lit electric lights and table candles glowed. There were no TVs while I couldn't recall any background music. ATTIRE Although I was actually dressed appropriately for the occasion in an aloha shirt, linen pants, and flip-flops, this place was totally casual, so a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops would suffice. OVERALL Belly Of The Beast was an adventurous fun evening with friends, it left me feeling childlike with the need to watch "Pinocchio", and I couldn't wait to return to try more of their awesome-soundling elixirs. I generally loved all-things Disneyana, and this new wrinkle, albeit probably not approved by the mouse ears brass, caught my fancy. My one drink was tasty but just didn't hit the right spot, the onion rings were very good, the prices were a tad elevated, the atmosphere was awesome, and the service was friendly and professional. They had an extremely limited menu, and there was some doubt whether or not ordering from the Stowaway menu was an option. Plus, I always preferred to support small local mom & pop businesses. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $27.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

We get wristbands and assigned a table. We were told to wait in another line but we were let in shortly after. We bypass the 80's bar and go to a back room to make it feel like a "speakeasy." They gave us some ground rules and led us to our tables. At the table you have a QR code where you can place drink orders. The bar brings out your drinks to the table. Service was fairly quick and friendly. The drinks were all sweet cocktails and in the "Matterhorn Lodge" theme. There is a 2 drink minimum purchase (per guest) and each drink is $20+ so it can add up. I'm more of a beer person but some of the drinks were delicious. There was one that tasted like Christmas morning (cinnamon, clove, milky) and another drink that had popping boba that was also fun. If you're a butterfinger or peanut butter fan, there was one drink that tasted like it (you'll see it on the drink menu). I wouldn't say the drinks were strong. They do a good job of enforcing the theme. They had a "Yeti" come out and interact with the tables. Good for photo ops. They also had a magician doing a few tricks, and I enjoyed that the most. The place was kept fairly chilly! Even the bathrooms had jokes and signage on the walls that alluded to the alps. Overall a great time. Small venue but pretty chill. Can be pricey. Take a sweater.

Finding the hidden entrance is always fun, and stepping away from the neon-heavy arcade energy outside and straight into a moody, southern bayou atmosphere was honestly a really cool touch. The low lighting, dim decor, and secluded vibe set high expectations for the rest of the night. Unfortunately, the bar program didn't quite keep up with the ambiance. When you walk into a dedicated speakeasy, you expect carefully crafted, balanced drinks with some depth and fresh ingredients. Instead, the cocktails felt a little rushed, overly sweet, and missing the refined craft you look for in a place like this. For the price tag on the menu, the execution just fell flat. The staff was friendly enough and the novelty factor is definitely there, but the drinks missed the mark. I'm glad I checked it out to see what the buzz was about, but since the cocktail quality didn't match the cool environment, I don't see myself heading back anytime soon. Solid three stars for the aesthetic alone.

    I think this is on everyone's speakeasy list!…read more Make sure you make a reservation It is very packed. They offer bar seating and booth / table Follow the wall from Randy's donuts and Look for a wall of Japanese sake/beer barrels and head towards the restaurant - the rolling boil. There will be a check in host and stand there and wait (it will be located up against the wall with a big secret door right next to the hostess station) It's very New York inside. When I first came in Spring with the amazing, Karen, the menu and everything was great Now, I took my friend who was in town from Nashville and it was a brand new theme. It's the great Gatsby. Even our waitress, Jasmine was dressed for the occasion. I would say this place is known for Absinthe. They have cocktails featuring it or you can get one of the huge apparatus (huge and glowing green) which, if you are into it? I highly recommend. Just one of the huge apparatus makes one regular drink. Or, what Karen and I did, was split it and make it into a shot for the both of us. The waitress comes out and shows you how it works and goes over everything. Karen, who I came with, was a pro and knew her way around it. She showed me the ropes lol. Honestly, if you are here? When in Rome. Go all out and try it, since it's where they shine here. They took off a few menu items and added some themed drinks. ( a couple new champagne themed drinks) They have big entree items but I suggest small bites and sharing and mostly coming for the drinks. There's no bathroom inside, so you do have to leave the bar and go to the closest one (over behind Randy's donuts) and then enter the speakeasy again Both times coming here I've never had an issue. It's a small, packed place. And yet they still have the cocktails flowing and the food coming out in a good time. So the food and drinks are good Atmosphere is lovely. Service is good. Especially for it usually being very busy in here This place is located inside the Anaheim packing district. So I suggest hitting up a couple other spots before or afterwards for some more food or drinks P.S. it is very dark In here. They never cared if we used our light to look at the menu. However, they do not want flash photography They also do not strictly enforce a dress code (my friend from Nashville asked) however, they suggest dressing business casual and not too underdressed

I really liked the clarified strawberry drink, similar to strawberry and cream. I ordered a drink after that unfortunately forgot the name (photo attached with a tall glass) but there was no special cocktail craft taste to it. Just hard liquor taste and undrinkable :( the bartender kindly offered another drink. Unfortunately none of the food was the least bit good. Steak and fries was ordered medium rare and cooked to medium well with what seemed like no seasoning was on there at all. Crab cake was just ok and the slaw beneath it was drenched in a vinaigrette that was just sour and unpleasant. And the Mac and cheese, as we were very hopeful and looking forward to, was probably the blandest Mac and cheese we ever had. We asked the lady bartender for salt and she handed us, no exaggeration (and you guys will probably think I am) 10 grains of salt in it and said "looks like there's a lil something you could still get out of there" My jaw dropped. But yeah. The shredded meat on top of the Mac and cheese was cooked beyond the point of edible. That one was unfortunately sent back bc we just couldn't eat it. We were bummed over all mostly about the food.

    Cynthia was the best server I've had here. I come almost every month. She's sweet and very…read moreattentive. Her recommendations were great. The 502 burger is good but I'd recommend light peppers. They're not spicy but they overwhelm the taste of everything else. Their rusty anchor is pretty tasty. I am not sure if it's only available on Tiki Thursdays. I was able to get a table for 9 on Thursday night but I came an hour early to check in. Table was ready on time. Thank you to the host. Restaurant inside is dimmed and plays good music. Already recommend this place for a date night, adult family dinner, or a friend's social hangout.

    3.5 stars, better than average!…read more - Nachos were sizable and great to share, but the dish itself was just ok. Americanized nachos, if there is such a thing. Shredded beef, tomatoes (not pico de gallo), black beans, fresh crisp jalapeños (not pickled), etc. You get the picture of what everything is. - Gluten-free burger was NOT IT, unfortunately, which is a shame because there's not many gluten-free options at every restaurant. - Vegan jambalaya with shrimp was okay. My friends and I summarize this restaurant as being "great for apps and cocktails" and not the best for dinner. It's sort of in a tucked away location. I nearly walked into Gus's BBQ because I missed the sign pointing to the Whisper House entrance. Plenty of free street and structure parking in downtown Claremont since it's a college town. Servers were attentive and noticed when we needed refills and answered our questions.

And of course the drinks are AMAZING. I always do dealers choice, where the bartender makes a drink for you based on preferences. It's so fun to be surprised and the bartender always makes such an amazing drink. I recommend putting your name on the list ahead of time then walking around the area until you can be seated! The wait time always goes faster than they tell you so be prepared! Either way it is worth the wait.

    Twain Speakeasy was one of the highlights of our Temecula trip. The hidden entrance, cozy…read moreatmosphere, and great music made for a fun and unique experience. We arrived early on a Friday evening, and thankfully it wasn't crowded. Since they don't take reservations, getting there early is definitely the way to go. We ordered the Dealer's Choice, which was refreshing, balanced, and beautifully presented. We also tried one of their stronger signature cocktails, and they definitely don't hold back -- there's a reason they limit those drinks to two per person! Both drinks were creative and well-crafted. The bartenders clearly know their craft, and the drink presentation was outstanding. Service was good, although not especially memorable, which is why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. One thing that would make the experience even more immersive would be if the entire staff wore cowboy attire to match the Old West theme. With the speakeasy setting and vintage decor, it would add a fun touch and make the experience feel even more authentic. Overall, Twain Speakeasy offers excellent cocktails, good music, and a unique atmosphere. I would definitely come back again, and my recommendation is to arrive early since reservations aren't available and I can see this place filling up quickly on busy nights.

    I really wanted to like this place, my friends and I were genuinely excited to try it. The…read moreaesthetic is beautiful...the decor and overall concept makes for an intriguing night out. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the hype. Service was the main issue. The bartenders seemed inexperienced, and our server wasn't familiar with the drinks, often needing to check with someone else. It took about 20 minutes to receive our first round. Our reservation was at 10:30, we were seated until 10:40, and the place closes at midnight so timing already felt tight. Because of the wait, we asked to order two drinks at once for the next round, but were told it's limited to one at a time. That would be understandable if service were faster, but it took another 20 minutes to get the second drink. We were also told drinks from the regular menu take longer, so I tried one from the specialty menu...still a 20-minute wait. It was a frustrating experience. That said, the space itself is smaller and more intimate, which could make it a nice date spot. I do think this place has potential, and I'd consider giving it another chance, hopefully with smoother service next time. Oh Beignets were amazing!! Yummy little donuts!

    After being to the one in Rancho Cucamonga multiple times, I had very high expectations for the…read moreBlack Antlwr Book Club. When we walked into this speakeasy, behind a movable shelf, I was greatly disappointed by the size of this place. It literally was the size of a walk in closet. Probably a fifth of the size of the one in Rancho. The room was so small and cramped. We sat at the round tables which was small for 2 people, and they were spaced so close to each other. Another couple sat next to us and we could here their entire conversation. The space is just so cramped. Maybe 6 round tables with barely a foot apart. Then the bar top basically when someone is sitting there, theres less then a foot of space to go inbetween. The decor is beautiful. I did enjoy the library theme. Service here is a disappointment. There was inly 2 groups (including ourselves) when we arrived and service was excessively slow. On their featured cocktails which was the same as the one in Rancho (6 drinks?), they were already out of the first 2. And mind you, they've only been open for 2 hours. We asked them to prepare unique off the menu drinks. They basically gave us drinks from the main restaurant menu. Rum for the hills and an old fashion. The bartender at the Rancho location is so much better and nicer and way more creative. Able to create unique individual drinks off the top of his head. Not here though. She asked us what we were ordering at least times. And she still got our orders (food) wrong. The glass was sticky from the sugars. We ordered no grilled onions on the burger and it came with grilled onions. She was so unsure of what they carried (alcohol wise) that she had to go ask the other guy on multiple occasions. When the bill came, we didnt get a pen to sign it with. So we went to the bar area. The guy was a total A-hole. He was like what do you want? Woah guy. We're trying to give you more of our hard earned money via tip and sign this check so we can get the heck out of here. Like chill bro. We should be there ones angry with how bad the evening went. Not you. There were multiple flies flying around our table and food. A large fly, and then a small gnat around our drink. It was gross. Overall, it was a terrible experience here. There was mystique (I give you that, love the books). But nothing high end or exclusive about it. Usage of the space and their knowledge of the drinks reminds me of a run down dive bar. They need the bartender from Rancho to come here and revamp everything about this place. The only good thing here is that we were able to order burgers (full menu availability) in this speakeasy as suppose to the one in Victoria Gardens. But besides that, I am 100% not coming back. It just isnt worth it.
