Customer Reviews
Thompson's Bookstore Speakeasy has a rating of 4.6 out of 5 based on over 1553 reviews on Google
Fantastic venue and well worth looking for the password or tipping the doorman for the speakeasy downstairs. Beautiful bar, seating with great atmosphere and other drinks. I gave service a four - all staff were five EXCEPT for our bartender which all three of us felt was a little rude. Seemed like making drink orders and asking for waters was an imposition. However, fantastic place, drinks were great and will definitely try again.
Long story short: keep an extra eye on your tab. The place is pretty and well decorated. Drinks are very well made and tasty. What I do not appreciate is being added an extra 20% for "party of 6 or more" in our tab (even though we were 5) without being told beforehand. The drinks were nice, the staff as well; it is a shame you resort to this ruse to make a couple of extra $. This would have been a 4/5* otherwise.
This unique four-story venue offers something for everyone. The basement features a cozy speakeasy, the first floor is a charming bookstore/bar, the second floor serves as an elegant event space, and the top floor is a sophisticated cigar lounge. We spent most of our time in the cigar lounge, which had an impressive selection—including some of our favorites from Deadwood, South Dakota. The drinks were absolutely delicious, and the overall atmosphere was upscale yet relaxed. Highly recommend for a memorable night out!
We arrived early and were able to enjoy happy hour. Cinder, the bartender, was great and provided excellent customer service. The cigar lounge was a pleasant surprise, and we really enjoyed the atmosphere.
We had so much fun here. It's super cute and comfortable with a chill vibe. Easy to talk to others. The drinks were perfect and the peach cheesecake was phenomenal.
Very cool space. Bottom floor is a "book store" very lounge vibes, wooden and leather with couches to sit on. Take the elevator upstairs to the cigar bar, it’s light and well lit and bright, not like most dark cigar lounges. They have a full bar with excellent cocktails and an excellent bar tender who also has a ton of cigar knowledge, chess boards, huge cigar selection.
I've been wanting to come here for quite a while now. The ambient lighting, environment, and all the details placed into this speakeasy were just perfect. The drinks 🥂🥃🍸🍷 were great, the staff 🧏♂️ was very friendly and nice. Checked out the cigar lounge space, which was also very nice. Overall, everything was great, I didn't have a single con, really. I'll definitely be back again. It's great vibes and great times 😁😎
