    Old School Flair!…read more The Prohibition Hub brings the look and feel of an underground speakeasy to a modern-day level. Pretty slick-looking rustic bar greet you when you walk in. Not huge, but not a hole-in-the-wall either. The back wall informing customers of the bottles that they have behind the bar as well as the food offerings. Fantastic selection of bourbon for all brown liquor enthusiasts. Really, just about something for everyone, and more. Then, there's the aspect That You Don't See as much anymore. The cigar bar offering. A great selection of stogies to light ones fire for a relaxing drink and a slow smoke. But where to smoke this fine crafted cigar? Out on the smoking patio, but of course. Located just outside the bar, this intimate rooftop smoking section invites you just to sit and chill and relax with a few friends. Individual tables are integrated with cushioned seating areas that surround small fire pit tables. Offering a quiet warm place to relax and enjoy a very effortless night with Friends. Would I go back? Definitely. This was a favorite with a group of us that came out here after dinner one night. Great staff, good time was had by all and absolutely plan on visiting again.

    I am baffled by the less than stellar reviews here. Granted, the cocktails aren't cheap but using…read morequality liquor, it's expected that these classic cocktails would be $10+. - Drinks 4.5/5 I'm a huge fan of speakeasies and might be biased. But these cocktails tasted amazingly (I had a smoky old fashioned) and I think they rival anything in a posh downtown bar. -Service 4/5: The bartenders were very nice and welcoming. -Cleanliness 4/5: The place is doing everything it can to be covid-safe - Ambiance 5/5 - Given the quietness of the streets nearby, the route to the speakeasy makes it feel like a hidden gem with a little bit of mystery. The dark wooden decor, leather couches, and hint of cigar smoke all add to a classic speakeasy vibe.

The vibe was incredible--the music was top-notch, and it honestly felt like we had stepped right into a great pub in Dublin. The food was absolutely awesome with a surprisingly great variety. We had the poutine, the Cuban sandwich, and the prime rib (which came as these amazing, tender chunks of meat), and every single bite was yummy. I also really want to give a special shoutout to our bartender/waitress. I completely forgot to catch her name, but she was a wonderfully nice woman, seemed so engaging maybe part of family ownership, who gave us outstanding service and made us feel right at home. Thank you for turning a rainy afternoon into a great memory!

The ambience didn't seem much like a speakeasy. It was more like a regular bar/restaurant. For lunch, I requested fish tacos and sweet potato fries. As an appetizer, we shared some nachos, which had a very tasty cheese sauce on them. A while later, the food was delivered. Everyone enjoyed their meals. My fish tacos each had a large piece of fish in them. The fish was seasoned and cooked perfectly, was flaky, and delicious. My sweet potato fries were a little overcooked, but still pretty good. Highly recommend that dish. My daughter's soup of the day (chicken & rice) missed the mark. But her club sandwich was the size of her head! If we're in Harrisburg, we'll visit again. Great meal!

There is a secret black door to enter. You can make reservations however, I was unaware that reservations were needed. We waited for about 20 minutes before a table opened up.

We had a party of 7 and we pretty much had our pick of where to sit. The waitress was talking really fast and low and we kept having to ask her to repeat herself. She never slowed down OR spoke louder. Once she had our drink orders, they didn't take long to come out. I ordered the "AKA" it was tequila based and was pretty good. Everyone was pretty happy with their drinks. This is when the night turned. 4 of the 7 of us wanted to leave and head elsewhere, the waitress made ALL 7 of us pay even though the others wanted to stay and order more. She would not budge on this and seemed pretty nonchalant about it. .. all in all. Glad we found it but won't be back.

I coordinated logistics with Melissa, the director of special events, who was professional, attentive, and quick to respond to the many questions I had leading up to our office retreat. Since we were using the boardroom for work on our laptops, we didn't have space to order food, but my colleagues did order beverages. Our server checked on us frequently, refilled our water, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the retreat. My only critique is that the boardroom occasionally got loud due to staff running up and down the stairs or noise from the level above. Melissa suggested in lieu of ordering food during our retreat, to transition into the Speakeasy upstairs afterwards. She connected me with Brian, the general manager, who reserved a table for us and helped coordinate our appetizers pre‑order. I requested that the appetizers be ready at 6 p.m. for our reservation, and they were waiting for us when we arrived. We enjoyed flatbreads, sliders, and charcuterie boards--my favorite was the chicken sliders. We had a lovely time with great food, drinks, company, and excellent service from start to finish.

Our server took great care of us, checked in often, and gave us recommendations on their favorite apps and dishes. I ordered the salmon and an Oaktoberfest märzen. The salmon was good, though it could have been pulled off the heat a little sooner since it came out very well done. Aside from that, I liked it and it was a nice change from my usual unhealthy choices lol. For the table, we ordered the bruschetta, crab dip, and brisket sliders. Overall, everything was delicious, the beer was great, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the whole experience was really pleasant.

    Clandestino has grown up, literally. What began as a small operation in Frederick has moved into a…read morelarger space, and the expansion suits them well. This is Puerto Rican pitorro, also known as ron cañita, made with care and intention rather than gimmickry. Many local liquor stores now carry the brand, and it is well worth picking up a bottle, but visiting the distillery is an experience in itself. The founder is a fellow Puerto Rican born retired military member, a background I share, and like me, he has put down roots in Maryland. That story is reflected clearly in the brand's own framing, "Puerto Rican born, Maryland made." The space feels grounded and unpretentious, and that sensibility carries through to the hospitality. We arrived late on a Saturday and were still welcomed warmly, never rushed. We were taken care of by the founder's daughter, who was exceptionally kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. She guided us through a flight that included the traditional pitorro, almond, pineapple, coffee, coconut chai, and several seasonal offerings. The flavors were thoughtful and well balanced; even the infused expressions retained a clear rum backbone rather than drifting into novelty. We enjoyed them enough to leave with several bottles. This is artisanal pitorro done right, rooted in Puerto Rican tradition and confidently made in Maryland. Buying it locally is convenient, but going to the distillery is where the people, the story, and the spirit fully come together.

Always great service by bar manager Charlie, fantastic food and beverage menu and options. My favs so far are the grilled wings and chicken tortilla soup. The drinks are pretty awesome, and Charlie the Great can alter beverages to your preference if you prefer. This is an overall mezcal bar, but they have other libations as well. My fav is John Updike's Old Fashioned. My son ordered and loved the Strawberry Gin & Tonic. This establishment is a great conversation starter, and I look forward to returning asap.

It's so wonderful to come across genuine people who are funny and kind in this world. Our server and the owner were so fun and so funny and so nice. It truly felt like visiting a friends restaurant. The vibes are homey, almost feels like a library but not quite, very cozy very comfy. Food: Tomato Mozarella, this was my two fav things in one. Tomato and burrata/mozarella, and prosciutto and melon. Delicious. 10/10. Prawns: so good, so flavorful, and I typically am not a shrimp/prawn girl. Skirt Steak: this was such a juicy and moist (sorry) steak. I don't like chimmichurri (cannot spell that omg) but it was good! The fries were also a winner. Moroccan Hen: this felt like a cookout bbq to be honest but in the best way. It's super flavorful, very smoky, and SO juicy. Drinks: watermelon marg, orange espresso cocktail, and I cannot remember the blue drinks name but all delicious. I fear this is my fav espresso martini to date. Dessserts: the Poe's nest and the Ruby & Emerald. Delicious. No notes.

A few of us came early and got drinks at the speakeasy upstairs which I definitely recommend! It had a great drink menu and cool vibe. For actual dinner, the restaurant itself had an eclectic menu and swanky decor. The service was spotty. I had to ask for water refills 2x. Also for a group of 12, it took about 7 mins for everyone to be served food. Yes, this is a large party, so you must have several servers come bring the food when you're charging these prices. It should've been a seamless experience but we had several friends waiting on their food while others were halfway through. The food quality itself was hit or miss. The pork belly app was delicious! Crispy and tender. But the octopus was overly chewy and weird. We had 2 dishes with it and both were cooked like that, it wasn't good. The lobster poutine was delicious and went quick. Paella was okay - the shellfish was overcooked and seemingly dried up. Drinks were good and staff was friendly. Overall, there are a lot of kinks to work out. I'd like to come back but at the price point, I wish our experience was better and wish the food was more consistently good.
