Went here for the first time on 10/23 and to be honest the environment wasn’t very welcoming or friendly and it felt a bit racist. As soon as me and my family stepped foot in the speak easy we were automatically treated very differently compared to the white customers that was there and was taken to a completely different space within the speak easy and didn’t have the option to sit in the main common area at all. I will say that the drinks were good but the staff was very rude and short compared to how they were treating the white customers there. I will rate this a 2 out of 10 and will not be back.

This is such a unique place. Perfect for a quiet date night or catching up with an old friend. It's a true speakeasy and can be tricky to find if you've never been before. They won't leave you hanging so you can always call if you get stuck. A quiet, smooth atmosphere with limited seating. I've found a seat every time I go but the capacity is small. The bartenders are attentive and personable. Fantastic drinks and a great happy hour value. One of my favorite bars in Cleveland.

Adorbs! 😍 we were seated immediately without much of a wait at all. The parking lot is very secluded yet ample for the space. The charcuterie board was exactly what we were looking for with a couple of cocktails. The espresso martini was outstanding on the creamier side and the pink elephant drink was also a tasty treat if you like grapefruit. First time here, but definitely will come back again.

So glad to hear you enjoyed your small bites and drinks. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thorough review. Much appreciated.
