    A must try experience! A friend and I had a girls night out and a time was had!! This is a fully immersive experience with out of this world hand crafted Coctails!! The vibes and staff added an extra level to create an epic experience. Cannot wait to go back. If you are thinking about it, do it! You will not regret it.

    We had a fun evening! The atmosphere is very mystical and the drinks were tasty. The bartenders were fun to watch and the host of the evening was very informative. The servers are all friendly. We had a great time escaping from reality there. I look forward to trying their other 2 chapters. The beignets we're the best I have ever had! They don't serve any other food, but we had food from a stand outside that was delicious chicken strips and we ate them on the patio before going into the Obscure.

    This was an amazing experience! Highly suggest a great start to a date night! We were a little disappointed with the fact that the restaurant was not open at the time it stated and no communication on that it was for that night only etc. however the distillery it's self was beautiful the drinks were amazing I actually became a rum and gin fan that evening. I even became a member. The servers were perfect! We loved the history behind every tasting. Need to try

    Really cool and different way to experience a distillery. Spooky fun vibes (not scary...and I'm a chicken!), fun staff, history lessons on alcohol while you sip? Yes, please! The tastings are a little strong but that's a good thing for most people lol! Ended the tour with beignets so that's a win in my book.

    This is a themed immersive distillery and cocktail experience. It's dark, moody and mysterious inside. Upon arriving you'll receive a glass of sake to cleanse your pallet. Dress code is encouraged to dress all black. I would highly recommend to eat before coming. As soon as you're assigned to your table you'll receive 3 small tastings with 43-55% abv. I am not a one to sip on liquor to taste, therefore it was hard for me to enjoy any of the tasting. The experience also comes with 3 small cocktail tastings. The first two was also not to my usual liking but it was interesting. Rum Espresso Tonic, Old Fashioned and vodka cocktail with 3 options (sweet, sour, savory) The sweet vodka cocktail was probably the only drink that I was able to finish. I wish they would offer some chaser, lemon, lime or something for the non-drinkers. I felt like it was such a waste for me for not touching most of my drinks. End of the storytelling tour, we ended at a speakeasy lounge to finish our drink and they offered 4pcs of beignets for our group of 3 to share. I'd only recommend for those who truly enjoys hard liquor. For me, I barely touched any of the half shots nor cocktails and it's not a cheap experience. Overall the whole experience ended within 1hour and half.

    This place offered an amazing overall experience in a dark and relaxing atmosphere, seasoned with stories on the drinks that they offered and backstories on the establishement. This was an amazing value for the price, and you may not ever find anything that offers this impressive of an experience.

    We came during Season 1, and ever since then The Obscure has been firmly on our "must return" list. This time we booked the 9:40pm Season 3 seating, and even getting inside was just as mysterious and fun as we remembered. We were handed a tarot card on arrival, this time we got The Magician:) We waited by the fire pits surrounded by those lava-flowing walls, soaking it all in, until our spirit guide was ready. Once the group was brought in, we were immediately greeted with a drink, an excellent way to start. From there, the experience is honestly just wow. It's one of those things you really have to experience at least once. The tasting journey is unlike anything else; it somehow feels like a Disney ride...but for adults, and with alcohol. After the tasting, we were taken outside to choose our final drink: sweet, savory, or sour, along with a beignet. A perfect (and delicious) ending to the journey. Then came the choice: hang out outside or head to the members-only Luminarium Bar. Naturally, we chose the Luminarium. Membership is simple--buy a bottle--and it's absolutely worth it. Members can bring up to 4 people. The bar is beautiful and feels like a hidden reward for making it to the end. Needless to say, we'll be back for every season. Tips: - definitely get a ride share, so you can enjoy all the drinks but they do offer zero proof too! - eat before you come! Coming on an empty stomach is asking for trouble - totally high heels friendly, just watch your step since it's dimly lit

    First time EVER experienced a distillery. I thought it was going to be a regular bar with food drinks when I have gotten invited here. I sure was wrong! Think about a wine tasting, but instead Of wine, its spirits. Drinks were well prepared, the tasting and the history being taught about the liquor we were drinking was AMAZING! Very informative. I loved the dim lighting, the intimacy of the experience. Really great for a date night. I do recommend eating something light before coming here. We are talking about 45-100 PROOF alcohol we are trying here lol you will leave out tipsy! PARKING street parking is free, the garages are pretty cheap if your arriving after 6pm. I paid $10

    View from our table. We had bench seating up against the back wall. The artisan was creating jewelry off to the side.

    Season 2 Tasting: A guided, group-paced drinking experience where the origin behind each spirit is shared with an artful flourish, all while guests savor the stories and the sip together. Each tasting is followed on by an accompanying cocktail, and an intermission lets guests linger over it before being guided into the next boozy tale. Our final tasting took place at a bar located in the back; a mystical-themed space featuring a second-floor lounge filled with cozy seating and small tables perfect for setting your drinks. The lounge's whimsical décor gave off Alice in Wonderland vibes. THE DRINKS. Note: Strong tastings alert! Eat something beforehand to help you power through. Spirits (served neat) - Harbinger Jakarta Rum - Rites of Fall Rye (American Chestnut) - Three Fates Génépi Liqueur Cocktails - Philosopher's Punch (made with Harbinger Jakarta Rum) - Darling 58 (made with Rites of Fall Rye) - Serendipity (made with Three Fates Génépi Liqueur) THE FOOD. There is none... at least not in the traditional sense. Instead, you're handed a tarot card at the end of the tasting, which becomes your voucher to a freshly made beignet next door. We picked up a few and they were warm, crisp, and dusted with powdered sugar. Still, it would be cool if they offered something small; mixed nuts or a tiny bite that complements the cocktails. THE VIBE. Steeped in whimsical charm, the space felt inviting and intimate. Moss draped from above created an enchanted canopy that softened the entire area. The bar was backed with a brick façade, reminiscent of a fairy-tale castle. Candles were placed throughout, gently illuminating the guests in a dreamy amber glow. Off to the side, an artisan crafted jewelry; their work streamed on a television overhead. Completed pieces were on display for purchase. THE PARKING. Street parking is free, and there's a paid lot right next door. But if your whole party plans to drink, calling an Uber is the wiser choice - we certainly went that route. THE VERDICT. Delightfully entertaining. The stories behind each spirit pulled us into their world, but honestly, watching the room grow merrier, louder, and slightly more sloshed as the evening unfolded was just as enjoyable to witness as the stories were to hear. Definitely an experience worth checking out.

    back window was smashed in from robber.

    I went to The Obscure for my birthday and the show itself was absolutely magical. The atmosphere inside is beautiful, intimate, and mysterious in the best way. The historical stories were incredible and the staff were very kind and welcoming. It truly felt like a special experience. One small suggestion would be to offer ice with the water and maybe a few light snacks during the show. There is a really delicious eatery right outside, so I definitely recommend eating before you go. Loved Chicken sandwich :) ! Unfortunately, the one major downside to the evening was that our car was broken into in the parking lot that guests are directed to use. We had paid to park there and still came back to find our back window smashed and several items stolen. It definitely put a damper on what was meant to be a very special birthday night. I understand that things like this can happen anywhere, but since this is the parking area recommended for guests, I would strongly encourage the venue to consider adding security or additional monitoring. I would have felt much safer knowing there was some form of protection for guests' vehicles. The show itself was wonderful and I would love to go again someday, but I would honestly feel nervous about parking there again unless security measures were improved. Overall, the performance and experience inside were truly special -- I just hope the parking situation can be addressed so future guests don't have the same unfortunate ending to their evening.

    * Who: partner & I * What: Valentine's Day pre-surprise * When: Friday night 8:40pm * Why: they were sold out for Saturday, so we got VIP for the 13th since something was better than nothing lol * Space/Decor: it's well hidden, in the sense I wouldn't have guessed what was going on in the inside. The inside was a total surprise. It was an absolute vibe, & it felt like I was transported to some Harry Potter-ian bar in Knockturn Alley. The space was well laid out so it didn't feel packed or busy, so it could be good for intimate or small group gatherings. There's like "6" areas altogether I think. * Service: was great! The bouncer was nice & joked around while we waited & our host/guided was super friendly & knowledgeable about the space... she even had an extra beignet that she gave us!! The movement throughout the experience was also well paced so it didn't feel rushed. * Food: the tasting shots for Season 3 were strong AF, I actually needed to drink water in between sips. Pretty sure our guide saw me making faces throughout haha. The cocktails were definitely craft & so yum. & the beignet was pretty addictive, though I did get powder all over myself. * Final Thoughts: unique, goth/romantic, underground speakeasy with fun staff, tasty drinks, & addictive beignets. We even considered/are considering becoming a member so we can bring others with us, so very much recommend as an experience. * Final Grade: A or 9/10

    Callie S.

    Loved the experience here and the story behind each spirit. The cocktails were also delicious. I'd highly recommend this for a fun night out with a group of friends. Beautiful space and decorations but kinda gives goth vibes lol I'd go again for the other seasons!

    I for one absolutely shocked that this distillery does not have more reviews. So the algorithm brought this to me and I am so glad that it did because I immediately went and bought tickets for the next day. I was a little worried that I had missed the entrance when I arrived, but thankfully they had somebody waiting out by the street because it's a speakeasy and it's legit hard to go and find I walked around in circles for a couple times and then finally figured out where I was. So if you question if you're in the right place, you are. You walk in and it's like you're stepping into a whole Other world and also kind of a combination of a potions classroom meets the forest. We kicked off with learning about the history of rum and how rum tastes because of the spices that are in it and whoa it was strong, but delicious. The second drink was my absolute favorite because we learned how it was made in Chestnut casts, and I was unaware that chestnut had basically gone extinct, and they were trying to go and revive it and bring it back and one of the women who was working at the distillery happened to have her father who was one of the people working on these conservation efforts and so I was able to go and drink alcohol that was made in one of these tasks, which is such a cool experience and I regret that I did not buy one of the bottles they're $150 each, but I was afraid that it would get ruined on the airplane ride back home. It was at this point that we all left the room based on what tarot cards we had been given when we entered, and we went into another room. They kept moving walls in and out and it's like it was switching scenes in a theater, which was really cool and we walked into the bar area and took a sip out of a shooter and then had a really cool glowing drink that you'll see in my photos on the bar and overall it was just one of the most magical experiences I've ever experienced at a distillery. We took our drinks upstairs and sat and enjoyed them and then it was time to leave because I was in the last group and it was closing time but overall this was one of the most fantastic experiences I've ever seen and done, my photos and videos don't even do this justice and if you're visiting Los Angeles, you absolutely must come and visit here

    Ask the Community - The Obscure Distillery

    If you scan the QR code on the back of a bottle you purchased after attending the VIP experience. Is there a discount for going back and sharing the same experience with different friends? Or can you reserve tickets and bring 2 to 3 people?

    Hello! Scanning the QR code will unlock a number of perks. Give it a try! (No spoilers)

    I booked for 8pm but only got 1 sticker by lack of attention, if I get the 8:20pm can I be seated next to my partner?

    Greetings! It sounds like you need to exchange your ticket to a Date Night reservation. Fever can assist with reservation changes, just contact them using your order confirmation email or their app!

    I will be coming with myself and one other person? is there tables for 2 ppl or do we have to sit with random people at a large table?

    The Gallery option is your best bet

    Will it be ok if we don't dress full black attire?

    Indeed! It’s suggested, not strictly required.

    I'm a fan of Obscure and loved Season 2. I noticed Season 3 has more shorter booking windows. Is the experience shorter for Season 3? What is the difference between Season 2 and Season 3?

    Good eye! Start times are staggered in Season 3 for greater flexibility, more convenient scheduling options, and an expanded experience, but the format and duration remain. Each Season is 3 different spirits, 3 different cocktails made with those… Read more

    So for the gallery tickets, do I need to purchase 2 tickets for 2 people or does 1 ticket cover both people?

    One covers both!

    Which seating ticket would you recommend for a couple to purchase ?this is our first time and I don't know which option would be best?

    Greetings! Duet and solo reservations are banquet-style in the center of things, while the Gallery seats are set back along the perimeter and offer the most expansive view of the space (plus an extra drink).

    Are there any non-alcoholic options? My partner would love this but I can't drink

    Indeed! You can request non-alcoholic cocktails (zero proof) after booking or when you arrive! The bar team had a lot of fun with our mocktail program.

    What is the difference between the duet and gallery reservation? Are you in a separate room for duet?

    Same room, however Gallery seating is adjacent rather than across from each other. These tables also have more room and are set back for a wider perspective. (also, a bit like a chef’s table)

    Is the 1x Season Two | Duet Reservation (two seats) for 2 people?

    Yes 👍

    Can I just walk in to get a drink or do I need a reservation?

    Hi there, I don't believe so. You have to have reservations or.. be a member and the members get to come in after hours on certain days and certain times I believe. :-)

    Paying for the tickets means the drinks are paid for or are the drinks separate?

    Tickets include the drinks.

    Can my friend and I buy tickets separately to the experience (two separate Grand Reservations), and still be assured we'll sit together there?…

    You can reserve separately and be seated together so long as you select the same ticket type (ie Grand), date, and time.

    Is it still necessary to text for an invite code, or can I just book directly on Feverup?

    You can now make reservations for the cocktail experience on Fever! (Outside the tastings, the bar remains members only.)

    Do they serve food to sober up? When they send code do they provide more detailed information regarding prices , tier's and how many drinks per person? What does the package…

    No, they do not serve food but they serve food right next door. I wouldn't pay attention to the tier thing because all the seats are good. It consists of 3 spirits in their pure form and 3 cocktails that are made with each spirit. Price range is… Read more

    How long does it take to get the invite code after texting the number?

    Less than five minutes

    Wondering how to get the invite code? Thank you.

    Text the number on the website

    How long is the experience?

    About two hours long

    What's the price point of this place? Do you pay for individual drinks or is it like a multiple course experience?

    There are three different price points, the only difference is where you sit. Lowest tier, you're sitting in a long table with a bunch of people. Second tier, you have a gap between the tables. The top tier, you have your own table with the best… Read more

    Do you text the day of to get a reservation or a few days out?

    Day-of if you're looking for last minute cancellations. A few weeks out otherwise!

I finally was able to check it off, thanks to a hotel offer with a dining credit. Dahlia is the gorgeous petite space behind the larger ground floor restaurant space now called Cabrillo (formerly Caldo Verde). Dahlia opened as a bespoke cocktail lounge, then began to offer tea. Now it's just tea. There are five 2-tops and two 4-top tables. All food and beverage venues at the Proper used to be under the auspices of famed chef Suzanne Goin and her business partner/sommelier Caroline Styne. They are no longer affiliated with the Proper, but many of their dishes/contributions remain. The last named vestige of them is on the tea menu, "Suzanne's Deviled-Egg Sandwich". The tea menu has several options: Classic, with a seasonal mocktail, or with different champagnes. I opted for the Classic experience, because the mocktail had mocha, not my fave. Server Lluvia was clearly a Dahlia veteran; she offered a tea-smelling of all the teas that interested me as well as crowd favourites. I ultimately chose one of these faves, Mad Hatter's Tea Party, which had passionfruit and vanilla. I declined milk/cream, but did get lemon. There were rock sugar sticks on the table. It seems the selection of tea sandwiches and sweet treats changes every so often, although the vanilla bean scone, dried currant scone, Devonshire cream and apricot orange jam seem like constants. The sandwich selection at my visit were: cucumber, crab/creme fraiche, beet hummus on pita, smoked salmon and Suzanne's deviled egg. All were delish, the beet, crab and deviled egg especially. The sweet treats were: orange fig butter cookie, spiced apple brown butter crumble, cranberry frangipane hand pie, chocolate mocha macaron, pumpkin madeleine, plus the 2 scones. All were excellent. There were no leftovers. A bit pricey, but a relaxing and lovely experience. The room was not crowded when I visited, adding to the calmness of my visit.

The establishment is known for its innovative & extensive craft cocktail menu as well as creating the Naked & Famous, Oaxaca Old-Fashioned, & The Conference. Having won numerous awards honoring its cocktail menu and talented mixologists - it's a must visit for cocktail enthusiasts. I had been to the New York location many years ago and the L.A. spot has been on my radar. I was excited when I had the opportunity to check it out for a private event featuring Adam Fournier - 2021 World Class U.S Bartender of the year. The gentleman at the front door was very friendly - greeting guests as they walked in. Upon entering, you proceed down the stairs. There are two bars - a larger section straight ahead and a smaller speak easy style lounge to the left. Our party was in the dimly lit lounge, which was quite charming. I was surprised to see the same floor tile that is in my bathroom at home because it has a unique pattern. Adam was mixing up two inventive tequila-based cocktails and one with scotch. The place was packed and watching Adam's skilled precision & grace under pressure was impressive. I tried the Rein Picante - an expertly crafted mixture of Casamigos Reposado, Sherry, Fresh Lime, Passion Fruit, Spices, & Tamarind. It was perfectly balanced, smooth, and delicious. During the event we enjoyed light bites from Death & Co's kitchen, which were also tasty. The magical evening ended with a toast of Don Julio 1942. Cuz that's how we roll. *Street parking or adjacent lots - price varies.

Echoing what everyone else has been saying - the service is SO slow. It was about 45 minutes before we were able to order our second drink and our water glasses were empty. They have so many runners bringing the drinks out but only a few servers and, from the looks of it, one bartender (on a Saturday night - what?!). The server was saying he was trying to find a manager to help out but they were nowhere to be found. Clearly management is fine with these service times since they're still making $$$. The drinks were delicious, and I loved that there were heaters on the patio (though they did get very hot at times). Our server was so kind and brought us a celebratory drink. I do wish there were more explanations with the beverages, especially for the Paid Vacation as most people will not realize you're supposed to bite into the buzz button for the tingly sensation. I would come back, but need some time for my wallet to recover first, haha!

    I came to this magical little place with my girl friends to celebrate a birthday. Only the three of…read moreus but we wanted a drink to end the night with a vibe. Boy did we win the jackpot! We came in around 6:30. They had just opened but the atmosphere was ready! Dark and moody with candles on the table, it was the perfect spot to grab a drink and catch up. Jeremy was our bartender and he was fantastic. Super chill and friendly and made us some amazing drinks based on a few preferences. Our "bartenders choice" drinks were amazing, so much so that our "drink to end the night" turned into two drinks and some appetizers. We ordered taquitos and mozzarella sticks. Overall all three of us ladies loved this place! We definitely plan to be back! Let Jeremy make you a drink - you won't regret it. He makes them custom for you and he definitely knows what he is doing. *they do ask for a password which you can request on their website... but I would do that 24-48 hours before you plan to visit. We didn't have that days password and simply asked the front door.

You will need to reach out to the bar via email to get the password, but you can also get a hint from the person at the front. We got our hint and successfully guessed it, gaining entry. The interior has dark lounge lighting with tables throughout. I got the gotham standard manhattan ($16) which was strong and spirit forward. We came right when they opened so it was very empty, but the bartender mentioned it gets really packed and lively on weekends. If I came back and was able to guess the password I'd stop by when it's more energetic for a different vibe.

    Turn the corner on Hudson, there's a door with roses - that's the entrance to the bar. Once you go…read morein an attendant came up to us and asked if we were there for the show and checked us in then let us know when things would start up. Grabbed a drink (pictured) that was about $23 with tip, pretty tasty. The bar is super cool speakeasy vintage dark lit magic themed. Nice bar booths to sit at. Not super huge but it wasn't overtly packed with people sitting / waiting for the show. We went on a Thursday night. The magic showroom was comfortable. We were sat on the wall booth which was a little hard to see at sometimes bc people were one in front of the other and not really staggered but the performers did move throughout the room. The performers were really great and entertaining. It was a nice time and I would consider coming back on another night

    Warning (nothing to do with the black rabbit rose but everyone including the venue should be wary.)…read more We made the mistake of parking in the back of the Black rose not at the motel, but the empty lot. There were signs all over stating that it was public parking; we had a miscommunication with the black rabbit rose so we arrived too early so we went to go eat at another location as they weren't open yet - as I went to move my car - a lady there accosted us saying we needed to pay since we parked there. I noticed then that all the signs were now missing. She said I needed to pay or she'd call the cops. Luckily, I have cameras on my vehicle and I told her so; that I could prove the signs were there and to go ahead and call the cops, at which she yelled at us to leave and if she ever saw me again, she'd tow my car. I moved it to the lot around the corner which was $20 - but felt so much safer. - Review of black rabbit rose - The magic show on Thursday was so much fun. The magician was funny and the clairvoyant was very entertaining. We were at the very front and had to keep scooting our chairs to turn around because they do go all over the room to include everyone, which might make the chairs a bit loose, so be careful. The drinks were great - we got the dark arts & it did not disappoint; we prefer our drinks light with more cranberry flavor so they were just right. Everyone was very nice and friendly at the venue and we appreciated everyone wishing us a happy anniversary!
