    Get reservations, otherwise you'll be pushed by people trying to get drinks. Great place otherwise!!

    There is a copper bathtub in the middle of the place. Hop in it and raise a glass to prohibition!

    The coffee shop was originally built just as a front for this speakeasy, but now operates as a functional coffee bar.

    Try the Gin-Gin Mule! Ginger extract and fresh mint make for an uber flavorful cocktail.

    All slightly overpriced and underwhelming. If you like gin-based cocktails this certainly isn't a bad idea, nothing to write home about though, small menu of bar food is just OK

    This place is really crowded on Saturday nights. So you would only want to go if you got a table and tables require bottle service. I prefer specialty cocktails over bottle service.
