Room 56

Stayed here at the Moxy Hotel for a Birthday Celebration and learned about the speakeasy located within the hotel. We didn't have reservations, but put in our names later in the night and were able to get seated within 45 minutes. It was a really neat entry, and you walk down these spiral stairs, which added to the vibe of the whole place. Only got beers for 12 dollars each, since we had had drinks previously, but overall neat little place to check out. Didn't get a chance to try any food from this place.

Cool concept, moody vibes, but too rigid to feel truly welcomed. We were the first ones there, literally standing outside before the doors even opened. Staff was immediately on point, super friendly, got us excited right away. Grabbing the red book to gain passage behind the bookcase? Very cool detail. We got seated as soon as they opened, and man, the space is exactly what you want in a speakeasy, dimly lit, intimate, and tucked away like a secret you don’t want to share. There were nice little touches: chilled water and a sip of wine waiting for us at the table to open the palate, plus a deck of cards with questions to spark good conversation. Great start. The menu looked good! Not too long, not too short. Just enough to keep it interesting. But here’s where things took a weird turn. I asked the waiter to surprise me with something in the Old Fashioned or Manhattan family but mentioned I wasn’t into Rye Whiskey. His response? A whole interrogation on why I don’t like Rye. Like bro, I’m here to relax, not defend my taste buds. He pressed me again: “Is it too punchy for you?” Honestly, I didn’t even know what that meant in cocktail terms. Yo, I just don’t like Rye. Period. Ended up ordering the Boulevardier, which was solid. No complaints there. Then we got a text from some friends who were nearby and wanted to join. We’d already let the waitress know more folks might swing by, and she said it shouldn’t be an issue. When I flagged her to ask about moving to a bigger table, the vibe shifted. She seemed annoyed but moved us anyway. Ah-aight, cool, we’re settled again, good vibes all around. Until one of our friends asked for the simplest drink imaginable: vodka tonic with lime. She didn’t want sugar in her drink, and the place pushed back saying all their drinks had sugar, but they could sub in stevia. She agreed, but when the drink came out it was not it. Sent it back and re-asked for just the vodka tonic. They brought it, but again, with some clear reluctance. Bottom line: if you go off-menu here, they don’t like it. And that’s a miss. We’ve hit almost every speakeasy in SD, and never felt this kind of pushback on basic, respectful customizations. To be fair, the service was attentive. They were present, checking in, and the aesthetic is on point. But hospitality isn’t just about being visible, it’s about being flexible too. And that’s where this place lost me. Also, no food options and they tack on an automatic 22% tip, which would’ve been fine if I walked away feeling taken care of. I didn’t. Would’ve been a 4.5-star spot easy, but between the drink drama and the attitude, 3 stars is all I can give. Still a cool stop, just not rushing back.

Oh, this place is SO cool. It's small, hidden, and has a great drink menu. They play classic, mellow jazz at exactly the right volume. Drinks are $20-22, so if you're there with your date you can expect to drop about $100. MAKE RESERVATIONS. Even if you're staying at the hotel--guests do not get priority here. It does fill up.

Nice little speakeasy. The atmosphere is very chill and relax. They have great little conversation starters that they put in a small bowl on the table for those on a date with someone new. The drinks were fabulous and unique. Ben did a great job with the menu. Our servers Chris and Amy were amazing and did a great job of keeping us hydrated haha. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone and will be coming back!

It’s a cool hidden bar spot, very dark and somewhat romantic inside. Space is very limited, make your online reservation. Drinks are good, but you’ll definitely need more than one to get a buzz, and it’s not cheap lol. This is a one time spot in my opinion, try it out.

Very cool speakeasy! To get in, you have to go upstairs and head to the bookshelf and pick up a red book. If you sit for a bit, someone will come out and take you to the spot! The drinks and atmosphere were great and they had options for mocktails as well

Absolute must if you want a couple top notch cocktails! The Gardener was fabulous. Try something out of your wheelhouse, you won’t be let down. Worth the expense and the bartender sure did a fabulous job explaining every drink and making the experience memorable!

The drinks were amazing and the service was impeccable. The 22% automatic gratuity doesn't bother me because the service was so good why wouldn't I tip that amount (at least). All of the stirred drinks I had were fantastic. Loved the atmosphere as well. Really fun for dates or small parties. Would come back again without hesitation.

This bar is definitely a speakeasy to the 9's. It all starts off with you looking for a hotel lobby and going up to their second floor lounge area. Make sure you pick up your red book and have a seat on the couch, you will then be approached by a hostess. The hostess will make sure that you had a reservation because they're pretty strict on that, and they will always make sure you're aware that they do not sell food and it is a two drink minimum. The drinks were good but expensive so expect to drop money there, but the ambience is cool, the staff is great and tentative, and it definitely made you feel like you were in a different place and not just in gaslamp overall, probably one of the more higher end speakeasies I've ever been to.

We got lucky enough on a Friday night to get a table here without a reservation. But I would definitely recommend you make one! Once you get called in, you go through a secret door and once inside, you walk down a set of spiral stairs where you'll then find the hidden speakeasy bar. It's dim, cozy, and intimate. Not sure if they do this all the time, but at our table were some still water and a tiny glass of champagne. They also gave us a set of question cards for a conversation starter, which was rather cool! We enjoyed this place a lot! Drinks were uniquely served in such eclectic style and they were pretty good.

This spot was the highlight of the evening! After a spontaneous trip to SD from LA we were looking for a place to grab a craft cocktail. Make sure you get a reservation!!!! We did not realize and turned up without one, luckily they were able to fit us in. Super cute spot as many other reviews mention, you grab a red book off the wall and the host will come bring you to your table inside the small speakeasy. The cocktails were amazing - would definitely come back and try others.

We came here on a whim for a night cap, and it is definitely a place to check out. We entered through a secret bookshelf in the Moxy, let in by our mixologist Chris after ringing a secret doorbell. We entered a dark room and descended through a spiral metal staircase into a small intimate room that reminds you of a posh basement; we got a welcome Prosecco shot and Chris gave us the spiel on drinks. After taking some time to look through the many options of original drinks this speakeasy had to offer, we made our choices and were all happy with our drinks. Highly recommend the gardener. Service is a little on the slower side as there was only one person making the cocktails and these were not simple cocktails, mind you! That being said, heads-up that there is an auto 22% gratuity on top of each $22-25 cocktail.

I loved this speakeasy. Walk up to the second floor and grab a red book and have a seat. We didn't have reservations, but put our name on the waitlist and got a text 3 hours later so we came back to try it. To start they bring over a glass of champagne. I got an espresso martini and my bf had the old fashion. The menu is unique and has their own version and the version you would typically see. They also brought a card game over for us, which I loved for date night. The inside is super cute and intimate. The drinks were very good and service was great. Loved the chocolate covered pretzels you get at the end too! Def recommend!

My friend made reservations online for Room 56 on a Friday night just around 7pm. Just a note, eat before or after this experience, as there are no food options! Old pictures and reviews show that they used to, but they are serving only drinks here for now. Each person must order $40 minimum of drinks and there is also gratuity included. Once you enter the Moxy lobby and check in near the bookshelf door, the hostess will walk you down a flight of narrow stairs to get to the speakeasy. The atmosphere was not too dark, cozy, and subtle. There were fun cards with questions on the tables, perfect for a date night or just getting to know someone! Almost every drink was crafted aesthetically, and service was great all around. Do take some time to find the area as they are strict on reservation times. My choices of drinks were all from the cocktails section, but my favorite was Audrey's Backyard. The drinks were tasty and each had a nice presentation. I appreciated the staff recommendations and loved everything I tried!

Very fun experience! Drinks were innovative, aesthetic and delicious. Service was amazing and so personable. Halfway through the night, the bartender passed out a card game to each of the tables - great addition, added some fun talking points into the night.

Booked a reservation on a Saturday night for three. This place is located inside of the Moxy hotel which has extremely trendy decor and a large bar in the lobby. We arrived early and sat at the bar for a drink. I had the Jay Gatsby, a gin based passion fruit flavored drink and it was delicious. They currently are making Valentine's Day inspired drinks and my friend ordered the "Lover"(Taylor Swift inspired). You enter 56 descending down into a basement like room. Dark accents are painted around a smoky atmosphere and it feels very sophisticated. All the drinks we had were delicious and I highly recommend the clover club. FYI, there is a 40 dollar minimum per person.

We came on a Wednesday night with no reservations but we got lucky! We didn't have to wait long. Our hostess/server was so funny! She made the night memorable. We were seated at the bar and it was so cool watching the bartenders create all the drinks. So many cocktails to choose from! Our server also gave us a deck of cards which had questions which were fun to answer. Definitely coming back here for sure!

Yes, yes, and yes. I hope you get the beautiful soul known as Amy - she's witty and a true mixologist. She also made us feel so cozy and comfortable in the space we didn't leave until like 2am. Well lit speakeasy in Gaslamp/San Diego. Drinks are phenomenal- I had the I'm not drinking Merlot and the delicious sour - both were amazing but the delicious sour was me (on that day) in a glass tea cup - just perfection. Drink prices were pretty common for a speak easy and worth it!! So enjoy yourself and tip well. My friends got some other drinks I can't remember but they enjoyed themselves just as much as me! No food which is common for a speakeasy but you can get snacks outside.

This was cool little speakeasy was inside the Moxy hotel. SERVICE: Our host was super friendly. Made a lot of jokes (my kinda host) and got us seated pretty quickly. She explained the menu well and got us on our way to our drinkies in no time at all. DRINKS: They offer a lot of cool drinks. My friend tried the Kookaburra. (Picture) and said it was great. I had the old fashioned and it was very tasty as well. If you can figure out how to get in? Go give them a try.

This place was a pleasant surprise. Knowledgeable staff, charming ambiance, a clever menu structure, appealing options, and most importantly, excellently executed drinks. The owner (manager?), who created the drink menu, took the time to chat with us for a bit about his creation. Nice work. (If I were to offer any feedback, it's that the speakeasy shtick is a little played out. I didn't enjoy the experience any more or less because I had to take a red book off a library shelf to gain admission. It just seems unnecessary.)

It's a cool hidden bar spot, very dark and somewhat romantic inside. Space is very limited, make your online reservation. Drinks are good, but you'll definitely need more than one to get a buzz, and it's not cheap lol. This is a one time spot in my opinion, try it out.

We spent one night at the Moxy Hotel so when we learned there was a sexy speakeasy tucked in the corner we decided we needed to make this our NYE celebration spot. There was no extra cover charge, the only thing they ask is that there is a $40 minimum per person and 22% gratuity is automatically added - which I think is standard there, no matter what the day is. You have to follow the instructions to be let in but once you've made it down the steep spiral staircase (ladies with heels - beware!) you'll find yourself in a cute, tiny bar. The vibe is sexy and sophisticated. The menu is long and well-organized and the music was big band and jazzy. The drinks are strong and well balanced. We sat at the bar for a while and watching the bartenders make some of the cocktails was so interesting. They were both clearly skilled at what they do. They were also super friendly and answered questions regarding tastes and ingredients honestly. Also, when I wanted to switch from cocktails to just prosecco, they didn't shame me the way other speakeasy's have a way of doing if you order anything other than their special drinks. They really made our special night even more special. If you're tired of the 20-something Gaslamp vibe, definitely try this place out.

Stumbled upon this secret speakeasy when we walked into the hotel. Saw the bookcase opened and realized there was a hidden bar! Went upstairs to move the red book to get in. The host was so warm and cheerful, and let us come in close to closing time. Drinks were really good- and pricey. Plan to spend $25 per drink (good news is that tip is included). I don't recall the name of my drink but it had house made raspberry sauce which was so delicious. Minus one star because at the end of the night the other guy was a bit rude about closing time... for example, he announced loudly to the room 'you all have 10 minutes to finish your drinks!' And seemed like he was mad at the guests. I have no problem leaving on time, and didn't expect them to stay open later, so it was off putting. Just don't show up close to closing time I suppose.

This was an extremely positive experience. As soon as you enter and walk down the stairs, the ambiance was so welcoming and cool. Once we got seated they had some sparking wine ready for us to drink. The drinks were so delicious. The Room 56 spin on classic drinks were amazing. Most of all the service was extremely excellent. I have never been to a place where there were only 3 staff members for an entire space and our drinks came out so quickly. They were also so extremely friendly. Thank you for an amazing experience!

OMG.. a great hidden gem!! Speakeasy.. all the way!! Remember to grab the red book. Some of the best drinks ever!!

A very cool speakeasy, with a fun entrance. Drinks were great, as was the relaxed ambiance. Will definitely add it to my rotation when in San Diego

I found this bar during a work conference trip in San Diego. I am so glad that I was able to book a reservation for the following night. This speakeasy is located inside the Moxy Hotel, Gaslamp San Diego. This hidden bar felt very exclusive and not many people were there upon our arrival. Towards the end of the night, more people started showing up. The bartenders have a great sense of humor and we're very attentive. I enjoyed a margarita and my favorite an old fashioned. Be advised that you can only enter with a confirmed reservation, which requires you to agree to spend at least $40 minimum per person. Drinks average $15-25 but are totally worth it. Once your reservation has been made, you'll receive an email with instructions. Just follow the instructions and you're good to go! Enjoy.

This is quite possibly the best bar I have ever been to. And I don't even want to call this a "bar". I know, I know, it's a "speakeasy" whatever you hipsters call it. I made reservations a week in advance and quite honestly, felt kind pointless in doing so. I get the whole "secret" response from the waitress bringing you in, but the bar only had 3-4 out of maybe 12 tables plus the bar taken while I was there for my hour or so. Anyway, both waitress and bartender were phenomenal, guiding me through the experience, making recommendations, and just being pleasant and attentive. Since I was alone, I was lucky enough to sit at the bar and loved watching the bartender use his magic on the drinks. The menu is HUGE so there is no doubt you will find something you like (or at least two things because it's a two drink minimum per person). I started off with the 'Kookaburra', a bit sweet, bit tropical, fresh and smokey. It was a very unique drink and one of the best cocktails I've ever had. The second was 'One Stiff Mexican Mocha'. I expected this to be sweeter but it was definitely more on the bitter side. Not in a bad way, but it was more of an old fashioned and "stiff" drink. Both drinks were loaded with alcohol, none of this cliche bar "one oz liquor, 3 cups juice". They definitely hit me with a buzz! Each drink is $20 and gratuity is automatic. Loved the experience and the drinks, I'd love to come back

Made reservations for a table for my wife's birthday. We loved it. Drinks: Cocktails are amazing here. Of the four drinks we ordered, my favorite was the Snow Days, which absolutely reminded me of being in a cabin. The taste of each drink was so delightful. My mouth wasn't overwhelmed with strong alcohol taste or sweetness. Very well-balance and highly enjoyable drinks! Ambiance: Lowkey, dim, chill speakeasy vibe was the ambiance here. Low music but good music. Speakeasy music was the backdrop of the night. We enjoyed the music so much that we asked Ben where we can find the playlist. Turns out he was the brilliant one who curated those songs. Chatter was low-to-moderate, depending on the other patrons in the room. Comfortable seats and couches. Conversation starter cards were provided! Service: Our servers and bartenders were great. They were really helpful in explaining the menu and drinks whenever we asked. They checked in often. Ben came by to take my order and he was the one to recommend to me the Snow Days cocktail. Super grateful for that! Overall a very pleasant and delicious round of drinks with my wife. We can't wait to come back with some friends.

This speakeasy was truly one of a kind! The ambiance was intimate and relaxed. My boyfriend and I loved the conversation cards; they sparked unique conversations. The menu offered The Lounge's takes on traditional cocktails - but listen to their advice, "pick your drinks based on the flavors, not the alcohol." The bartender was kind enough to explore an off-menu request! Everything made for a memorable evening.

f you are really looking for a true speakeasy experience this is the place to check out. From the greeting to your seating it's a wow moment. The ambience, the low music in the background, to the very well put together drink menu this place has it all. If you are a classic cocktail enthusiast your pallet is up for a treat. Ben and Amy are extremely knowledgeable with cocktail history and know how to make really good drinks. If you wanted to try out a cocktail that you may have seen online or heard of this is the place to go try it. The negroni sour was amazing that I got, a riff on an original negroni. Talking with Ben at the bar and nerdiing out about cocktails he recommended one drink that coincidentally has been on my list to try which was an Eeyore's Requiem. If you are into gin and bitters this is a must have. This speakeasy is a place you need to go and checkout next time you are looking for a cool date night spot. Epic experience.

Fun speakeasy located at the Moxy in downtown San Diego. I'm so glad I stayed here... I didn't even have to leave the hotel to eat, drink, or be entertained if I didn't want to! I would give this 5 stars for the experience, the friendly server/host Henry, the great mixologist/bartender Ben, and of course the drinks had SOOO much flavor and depth. Henry and Ben took the time to tell us about their process infusing their ingredients that allows them to make such unique tasting cocktails. Overall, I give it a 4.7 stars out of 5 because they require a $40 minimum per person to make the reservation (each drinks is $20, so 2 drink minimum). Pretty pricey drinks (typical for downtown areas) but it makes it an even pricier experience when you have to commit to the spend minimum. They no longer serve food in this speakeasy either, so if you're hungry, plan accordingly. They do have food options available until 9:30pm at the Moxy lobby bar which is right outside. Still one of my favorite speakeasy experiences. They also had table cards dropped off at our table to entertain us with fun questions. It was a nice touch! The hotel itself offers a lot of games/entertainment that you can enjoy before or after your speakeasy reservation. I will definitely be back!

I love a good speakeasy and this one, tucked into the Moxy hotel, does not disappoint. Easy to make reservations via their website. Once confirmed, they send you directions so that it's not hard to find. Ben is SO talented. He's the genius behind the beautiful cocktail creations. The night we were there he was also welcoming guests, taking orders, mixing drinks, clearing tables, and running credit cards. And yet he managed to find time to chat and make us feel so welcome. He's incredibly knowledgeable and it's fun to watch him in action, so I recommend seats at the bar if it's open. We tried several different stirred cocktails and each one was fantastic. Highly recommend!

Lovely speakeasy with a great vibe! Great drinks- truly unique. Amy was absolutely darling- welcoming and funny!

This was such a gorgeous speakeasy but I'm giving it 1 star because the service was HORRIBLE. We waited over 45 minutes for one drink. They did not come to take our order for 20 minutes. The drinks were okay 5/10 but the wait really killed the vibe. The server was not nice and had a bad attitude. They also tack on a 22% service charge at the end, which I thought was really unfair. Bad service and I still get charged 22%? No thanks!

Room 56 is one of the best speakeasies I've visited - and I've been to a lot! The bookshelf entrance was so fun, and every cocktail was unique and perfectly crafted. I loved that the corresponding craft cocktail was included to indicate the flavor profile of the Room 56 version. The conversation starters on our table were a wonderful touch. Also, since it was a Wednesday night, the space was so calm and quiet. I'll be back the next time I'm in San Diego!

Best speakeasy ever! Great small touches and made us feel very welcome. Very unique experience in the best way and we loved our cocktails as well as the ambience. A must see in SD!

I came here with my husband and another couple on NYE. We followed the instructions and waited to be brought to the hidden bar. We were led down an insanely narrow and steep spiral staircase that made me a little nervous, then we were seated at a table. It was pretty quiet and the place is already pretty small, so we were one of maybe 3 tables. For having so few people in the bar, it took us a surprisingly long time to be addressed by a waiter. Someone eventually came over and we were pleasantly surprised with half flutes of champagne. We ordered our drinks and one of the women in our group asked for a vodka soda with yellow lemon. She clarifies this because 99.9% of the time, if she just says lemon, they bring a lime instead. Our waiter made fun of her for this in this really weird and aggressive way, being like "Oh, really? A YELLOW lemon?" and gave her this sarcastic attitude about it, which was inappropriate and uncomfortable for everyone. So there was a pretty long wait between ordering our drinks and getting them, which was once again surprising given the fact there were only like 10 of us in the bar. After all the grief she was given, my friend's drink still came with a lime in it... She asked for the lemon again and he then seemed to make it his goal to belittle her and make her feel uncomfortable the rest of the night. There was a tiny bit of water on her section of the table and he made a point of coming over to wipe it off and say he was coming in with the zamboni. When she asked "what?", he was like "oh you don't know what a zamboni is? it's what they use to clean the ice with in hockey." She knew what a zamboni was, she just didn't hear him or expect him to be bringing up such a random word. The whole interaction and his overall demeanor just gave off the impression that he thought he was better than us and we were stupid and unworthy of being in this bar. Pros - great drinks, friendly bartender Cons - very slow service and weirdly condescending waiter Would come back again, but hope for a different waiter and faster service

Good drinks and environment. The most fun is finding the place and waiting for the hostess to find you. Nothing super special or spectacular but fun if you're in the area.

OMGGG!!!! This place is amazing. Definitely make reservations. The entrance is so fun!! The bartender, Ben, was absolutely amazing!! The vibes are immaculate. The drinks were soooo tasty! We ordered the kookaburra, autumn bonfires, Montezuma's treasure, and then a bartenders special. I requested fruity with dark liquor. He delivered!!!! I love it here. 10/10 recommend

Was absolutely thrilled to finally check this place out! Not only does it feel like a true speakeasy experience, but the staff really ties it all together. It's a very small bar, but still feels incredibly intimate (even when full). I had some of the BEST cocktails I've ever tried. The "it's healthy...right" knocked it out of the park! I also LOVED "Audrey's Garden." Our server brought over some fun discussion cards and we had a blast going through them while also going over the extensive drink list. Cannot wait to come back!

I absolutely loved this speakeasy. Reservations are recommended (it's pretty small inside!) but it is possible to get in without one. Tiny, intimate, and cool, with a menu made up of cocktails that are shaken and cocktails that are stirred. I loved everything I tried, and will definitely be visiting this bar again the next time I'm in town.

secret room tucked inside the moxy hotel, be sure to make reservations and pick up the red book to access this speakeasy! you really cannot go wrong with any cocktail on the menu here, the ambience and charismatic crew really make for a nice time!

This was a great place. Drinks were fantastic and the ambience was nice. I would definitely go back.

Got lucky they had room for walk ins! You grab a book, make sure it's the right one. A door opens and you walk into a hidden secret, I won't tell. But I'll tell you one thing, you gotta meet Ben! Hands down a killer buzz tender that'll get you taken care of. Tequila that taste like cafe and watermelon strawberry grapefruit flavors bursting with lime. Ok sorry I'm doing this at the bar and I just got another drink from Ben. Find this place if you can.

Some of the treats we have here are the; - Audries backyard -Ought to be you -Cookabera -Snow days -Hop skip rum Ben is a master bartender and knows his stuff . This place the speakeasy of speakeasy's @room50six San Diego, California

So glad we finally got to check this spot out!! Service was awesome (thank you, Amy!) atmosphere and ambience was great. Drinks were incredible! Can't wait to come back again

Oh my goodness what an absolute gem! So I've set out to go to every speakeasy in SD and I really wish I would have come across this one sooner. Excellent attention to detail, so many of the ingredients are in house made (I think the bartender said 42) I'm floored by the quality! The entrance is so cool with the book case moving.I would for sure go here again. Beautiful and quality experience.

In an era where the allure of the clandestine beckons, there lies a haven shrouded in mystery behind the guise of a bookshelf, a gem that has captured my affection in its entirety. To embark on this voyage to the speakeasy nestled within the confines of the Moxy Hotel, ascend the staircase, and seek the tome that unlocks this hidden realm. It is not merely any scarlet volume that will grant you passage but the one that sings the correct melody. Let your cravings for the saccharine guide you in this quest. Before descending the helical path to the sanctum of libations, pause and immerse yourself in the grandeur of the upper vestibule. A word to the wise--should the call of nature beckon, make your intentions known, lest you find yourself marooned outside the literary portal, awaiting a savior's remembrance. Within its hallowed walls, the art of mixology is elevated, with each concoction, especially the illustrious Hop Skip Rum, presenting a twist on the timeless. There hasn't been a potion from their repertoire that hasn't stolen a piece of my heart. Even those elixirs robust with spirits, which typically don't tickle my fancy, unveil complexities that captivate the senses. The anticipation of my return is akin to a smoldering ember, yearning to be rekindled.

Came here on a Sunday night, and there wasn't a patron in sight. Rather than be a snatch (like most barkeeps would be), the bartenders were extremely accommodating. One of them came over, asked my drink preference, explained the menu, gave my partner and me some trivia cards, etc. they had the opportunity to tell me to GTFO, and they didn't... maybe I'm soft, but I feel like that says a lot in this biz. By the time we left, the bar was half full. Lots of laughing, lively vibe!

The drinks were amazing and the service was impeccable. The 22% automatic gratuity doesn't bother me because the service was so good why wouldn't I tip that amount (at least). All of the stirred drinks I had were fantastic. Loved the atmosphere as well. Really fun for dates or small parties. Would come back again without hesitation.

The server was great at explaining and recommending. The drinks were great and also had good non alcoholic drinks that didn't just seem like juice for my pregnant friend.

Great space. Great cocktails. Great bartenders. Drinks are soooo good. Even when you take a chance on something you've never tried.

Love this place, we've try to get in the past and definitely you need to plan ahead of time and very strict policies for cancellation, tip, minimum spent ect. Make sure to plan accordingly. You take a red book and take a seat at the couch and you will be greeted when the book case opens up to a hidden door to a very small stair case going down. The room is very small but well layout space the Baristas are very knowledgeable and made some suggestive for buffet drinks. The decor's is really cool down to the glasses that they use, however we felt it could be a little darker just too many lights not like other Speak easy . The drinks! What ever liquor your in to they have a great deal of crafted and clever cocktails. Both appealing and taste. Very cool spot to come and have few drinks with your love or small group of 4. Definitely will be coming back to try all the drinks that they have here.

Definitely a fun (and pricey) experience. Top few things to know: make a reservation, there's a $40 minimum per person ($20 minimum if you're only having mocktails), 22% gratuity is automatically applied and there's no food. They use quality ingredients and the drink presentation is very nice Amy the host/waitress was super personable and very funny. We liked the vibe, there was good music, it was small and a bit loud but not in a bad way.

It's a fun experience located in the Moxy hotel, I like the hidden entry to the speakeasy. The drink menu had a lot of interesting takes on classic cocktails. The service was also very good and we got to learn a lot about the process for creating some of the drinks. I'm only taking off a star because it's quite pricey. Also, if you have to use the restroom it's in the hotel and you may not be able to easily get back into the speakeasy. The workers at the other bar won't help you.

You have to come here at least one time to check out this cool speakeasy. Our bartender was an entertainer and made our experience here very fun. The drinks are pricey, but awesome. The ambience is intimate. The restroom situation is interesting. You leave the bar through a side door and they slide open a small window so the staff knows that someone needs to be let back in. The bathrooms are in the lobby of the Moxy. When you come back, you wave or stick your hand through the small windows and someone will let you back in.
