Doneta Barron

Went here for my daughter's wedding. They booked it after seeing the wonderfully preserved building and art Deco styling. A huge place for special events. She worked through the owner directly who provided the master of ceremonies and helped with catering as well. It was like a one stop shopping. The wedding turned out great. Can only speak of having this event there, but would love to go back and experience the speakeasy as it is day to day. You can go wrong.

Attended a wedding reception here last night. It was an absolutely perfect venue. The tables upstairs were spaced nicely and the entire venue was very elegant. Downstairs we enjoyed a DJ and bar with seating spaced throughout and a dance floor. Perfect speak easy vibe in a historic building. Definitely recommend.

Picked this place to propose to my partner and was entirely impressed with the whole experience. Drinks were amazing and well crafted, the service was awesome, and the owner made sure to stop by with flowers and champagne. Definitely felt the love and enjoyed the atmosphere so much!!

I guess I was expecting a bit more from a place like this? It’s a super cool idea and spot, maybe just doesn’t have the crowd/following? I went on a Saturday night and there were 3 other people there… bartenders didn’t seem very chatty, and the drinks are overpriced so i get that it draws an older crowd. I assumed since it’s only open certain days/times and uses a password that it would have had a line out the door. It’s cool for the novelty, event or a fancy date i suppose.

We were here for a work event. The decor is rad! The speakeasy was downstairs. And there is a second floor with seating that was a very good view of the first floor. Everyone was very friendly.

The vibe is everything here. It was a perfect spot for a chill night. Loved the lighting and ambiance. The music was a perfect volume—loud enough that others couldn’t hear you but low enough you could talk. Very friendly and attentive service. Love that you got water as soon as you sat down.

Went for my bachelor party and had a blast. From the start of having to use a password to get in even with a reservation just added to the experience! The atmosphere was relaxed and laid back and kept all of us intrigued the entire time. Drink selection was top notch and the waitress had plenty of suggestions for first timers. Can't wait to go back.
