Valencio CardosoDecember 13, 2012Atmosphere takes you back to the prohibition days. Be sure to check out the wallpaper details.

Anindya ChakrabortyAugust 18, 2012Call them before you go and drinks are awesome. And don't forget the wallpaper inside the bathroom.
Fanny GFebruary 11, 2013Exquisite! The way they greet you when you ring, the drinks and the wall paper!
KellyFebruary 5, 2015Had to wait at the bar for a seat, which was actually kind of cool. Different hostess was much less creepy too!
If you're meeting someone, make sure to ask for the wifi password and email/iMessage. No cell reception!
Konstantinos ChantzisJanuary 22, 2015OMG.You have to visit this place.wonderful speak easy bar.back to 1930....
Wil WongNovember 20, 2012try the Dulcinea, the Philadelphia Story, the Champs-Élysées. Excellent outdoor seating before 10PM.
Crystal ZhengJanuary 26, 2013Get the Bamboo if you want something with a refreshing aroma yet has a complex taste.
Christina LuAugust 8, 2014It's where I bring my dates to show off and scare them why there aren't any signs but ~ring the bell~
If you like it hot, and I do, order the Kentucky Buck Forty. Or is it Fifty? Either way, get it.
Lauren LachsOctober 2, 2012Each party gets an entire couch to themselves, with a bell to ring when you're ready for another drink.
Steve RossOctober 14, 2016Expect to be waitlisted for 30 to 60 minutes. Petite Abeille next door is a nice spot to wait.
Need a refreshing tequilla drink? Try the Mexican Firing Squad Special with lime juice, grenadine, bitters, and club soda.
Asha C.October 15, 2010An absolute gem of a place. Just tell the bartenders what u like and they'll make u something fabulous. Trust.
Note to self from Brian: order a Brain Duster, even if it's off-menu. He said it was made of cognac and absinthe, among other things.
🏄Mike RichJune 30, 2012got to get a reservation..but the mescal drinks are crazy..very reasonable for the vibe
Yoni ZloczewskiAugust 24, 2015Annoying to get in but a cool spot if you go earlier and keep your group small
Fort Knox and Gold Rush drinks. Heaven. Stand in the kitchen to watch them make drinks- better than having a table!
HowcastSeptember 21, 2011Had a bit too much to drink last night? Don't worry, check out this video on how to cure a hangover.
Vijaya ThakurMay 17, 2011The Philadelphia Story is wonderful! Also try the Julio--not on menu anymore, but they still serve it.
LindsDecember 28, 2011Make a reservation to get a table, or stand in the kitchen-style bar area in the back.
WillMcDAugust 16, 2011Feels like a legit speakeasy. Drinks can get a little $$, but a really great time
Daniel HakimiMarch 11, 2016Good, overpriced drinks. Nice atmosphere, although the couches are took far apart.
- Noah LucasJanuary 20, 2012When you find it, ring the doorbell. Relax and enjoy a Gold Rush or Amber Old-Fashioned.
Kirsten PowerNovember 10, 2011No one has mentioned the awesome popcorn! Ask for the popcorn, you won't regret it.
