Very cool speak easy behind Blackstone social. Super cool entrance, very nice inside with hidden door and natural brick. Great cocktails, highly recommend Mai Tai and chilled lemon drop shot! Jack and John are rad! Great first experience on Halloween Eve!
This is a very cool hole in the wall speak easy in the middle of the Blackstone district. Amazing drinks too.
Awesome hidden bar!!! Delicious cocktails, one of the best Old fashioned I have ever had. I tried another menu drink, wasn't in love with it and the bartender happily made me something else free of charge, THAT is good service! Bartender was new to the craft cocktail scene, but was happy to answer as many questions as he could and try new things. This is a fun hidden bar that I can't wait to return
Very good drinks and great atmosphere! Love the location and decor. The history is interesting as well.
EDIT:The manager reached out to me and offered for us to come back in for another round as he explained some supply chain issues and acknowledged that we may have had an off night. I will update this when we go back in, but I wanted to acknowledge the effort of the manager and his generosity ! We went to the ppop up bar Blitz at this location. We ordered two of their signature drinks: the egg nog drink and the Christmas vacation. The Christmas vacation was supposed to be rimmed with peppermint, it wasn’t. It tasted like scope mouthwash, for $8. The women sitting next to us gasp when we sat down with it and said had all had to take turns drinking it to get the drink down. The egg nog was fine, but it came in a small glass and burned like rubbing alcohol. They also told our friends that they ran out of real egg nog and had been using powdered stuff. The server also bent and was rude about all of our IDs, they are out of state but we’re obviously all 21, especially attending a Christmas bar at 8 pm. Would definitely recommend a different Christmas bar in the area like Mercury, we really didn’t enjoy our experience.
My friend was super excited to show us this place...I was really impressed with the ambiance. I've been to speakeasys in multiple cities and was highly let down here. I asked for a vodka tonic with a very small splash of St. Germaine and muddled limes. The bartender cuts me off to ask me if I was just making up my own drink & then suggested I get a similar drink off the menu that everyone "loves" which is fine. But I don't drink whiskey, bourbon, or scotch and this drink contained one of those. I can read and I know what I don't like. The bartender then said pretty rudely he could try to make it but... and that I won't taste the whiskey in the menu drink. It was as if he didn't want to make the drink. I've NEVER had a bartender be so into menu only, especially in a craft place and basically say he did not want to make my drink. It's a simple drink I asked for. So I just ordered a vodka tonic instead. In his defense he was serving alone so maybe it was stress. I was nevertheless disappointed. My entire party was shocked as well because we all came based on the word of one person excited to show this place off. I pretty much was disengaged with the location after that. Although he came back with the drink I initially asked for I was already bummed from the initial interaction. My boyfriend, who is also a vodka drinker, ordered that drink he suggested to be polite, but he didn't like it but did not want to bother the bartender about it. You can't assume everyone likes whiskey. I probably won't be back. I wasn't sure if the place upstairs was linked so we didn't go there when we were done with that round either. We went up the block somewhere else. There's tons of bars in the area that are less intriguing in ambiance, but once your customer feels rejected there's always the next bar waiting.
Such a fun experience! This was a great time. My husband and I loved the history that was presented directly and indirectly. The bartender was a ton of fun and helped me find something I liked. I can't wait to bring my dad here.
Cool concept and idea. Enjoyed the Gemlit I ordered. A little pricey for the size of drink but it was good. There's only about 35 seats so it is small. Probably want to make reservations. Service was friendly and fast.
A great place! Cocktails are less expensive compared to other places with the same experience and vibe. They have the atmosphere down pat. The staff are very attentive and friendly.
An amazing place with strong, fancy, cocktails & lots of different spirits! Atmosphere is so fun and is very welcoming! Staff is fast and friendly!
