This is the absolute best craft cocktail bar, anywhere! Their drinks are incredible! The new menu is SO good! They switch drinks up a couple times a year and if they ever have a seasonal or special drink over the bar, get it! Appreciate the new snacks, Teriyaki Seasome Almonds and Cashews, and Everything Bagel chips. They've also added some great mocktails.

Hidden behind a red curtain, this bar has such cozy vibes and their menu theme is so cute! I was in awe taking it all in. We didn't have a reservation, it was a Monday night, but were lucky enough to get two seats at the bar. They had free popcorn and the drinks were delicious! Perfect place for a date night.

Worth visiting! Try dream catcher if you are a sweet lover. Try sidewaters Fang if you love fruity taste. Temple gate has a subtle white wine taste. Others are also good! Little gem in San Mateo

Amazing bar and delicious drinks, but wish they had more than popcorn! I prefer to nibble a bit while drinking. Even simple fare, like nuts and cheese would suffice ! Still it is worth a visit, I love the decor and is a small space perfect for an intimate gathering of a few friends.

Behold, a speakeasy that's quite unique, With cocktails that are nothing but chic, Their drinks, a blend of art and science, Are worth a visit, I say with confidence. The ambiance is dark and alluring, A place where secrets are worth securing, The staff, skilled and always polite, Makes one feel welcome, be it day or night. But what truly sets this place apart, Is the popcorn that's free from the start, A perfect treat, salty and sweet, It makes every drink taste quite neat. So if you seek a spot to unwind, This speakeasy is just what you'll find, With cocktails that will lift your spirits high, And popcorn that will make you sigh.

White cards = classics. Black cards = riffs. No food except free popcorn. That's about all you need to know to have a good time at this speakeasy located beneath Wursthall. I like to sit at the bar, but if you're >2, the tables are probably better. Friendly staff. Great cocktails.

Reservations required! This speakeasy is a hidden gem underneath some hot dog shop. A great Alice in Wonderland-themed experience, the vibes are incredible and the decorations are so fun, unique, and classy. To get there, go inside the shop towards the back and then down the stairs. Through the curtains will be a hidden bookcase door which is just so cool. It also isn't overbooked or crowded too which is a huge plus. You get your own space in a finely crafted atmosphere. There's even a self server popcorn machine! Drinks: Hit and miss (Get the more casual, fruity ones) Personally i love spirit forward drinks but virtually all of them were either creatively very odd tasting, or just average at best. Service was polite and friendly. Although I wish we knew they were closing early because at like... 10pm we just suddently got the bill when I think the online time said 1130. Drinks: 6/10 Atmosphere: 11/10 Service: 8/10 Value: 7/10
