Excellent cocktails. Bar staff was awesome. The tricks to entering are really cool and the best part is that the guests inside are watching you try to enter on video and cheering you on. It builds a great way for the whole bar to chat and interact with each other which is very fun in this type of setting. Extremely small and intimate - seating maybe for 20-30 people at most. Very dark and very period decor. This theme is well executed and we had a terrific time. Great cocktails but no food makes it tough to stay long (but that might be the point!). Cocktails are not cheap but they give you what youre paying for!

First, please understand that this bar has limited seating. Once full, they will ask that they take your name and contact you when they have availability. Trust me. It is for the best. These drinks take time to make and they want to be able to serve the customers in a timely manner. Its worth the wait. They have a clever entryway and beautiful decor throughout. Its small and intimate and the bartenders know what they are doing. The drink list is great and they have seasonal specials.

The idea sounded cool so we went to check it out. The hostess refused to serve us with a full bar and a completely open patio with beautiful blue sky twilight. Too busy and no under 18 year olds allowed at the bar, she says. Okay. Sure. Mixing ethanol and sugar. Too busy to take my money without the requisite seats at the bar. Will not return. Cheers!

Great little Cocktail Speakeasy spot. Very good decor, and some tricky entrances. Has a good mix of classic cocktails and their own twists and originals. Kinda small though so it fills up fast. If you cant get a seat here, try Chop and Swizzle Akron, just a mile or two up Market.

The atmosphere here was great, and the bartender was cool. This isnt a typical Speakeasy (they have a large sign outside that says speakeasy and an arrow that points to the entrance), but it is a really cool place.

Great drinks and knowledgeable bartenders! TVs in the bar show a stream of the entrance...fun watching people try to figure out how to get in.

Cool place. Glad they dont let people stand behind the bar and drink, if I wanted that id be at Buffalo Wild Wings. Will return many times

A fun concept that doesnt get old thanks to the amazing cocktails. Very comfortable but limited seating.
