    We tried this speakeasy and what a really nice time we had there. the drinks were great and the food was great. what more can you ask for??? The bartender was very kneadable and went over the drinks they had for the evening. We loved the old Fashoned they made. The food we tried was also great. The friend we made sitting at the table was nice. There are a few tables, and they have guests share a table which is nice for meeting new people and great conversation. If you want a great night out and some great conversation you have to try this location.

    46 A Speakeasy was a very cool experience that I really enjoyed. I recently had came across this new speakeasy on Instagram and was instantly wanting to come here. Luckily for us they had a single day showing openings and after putting in a reservation request we were lucky enough to be granted a spot at a later time slot for the same night. The place is owned and operated by Rockwells and is exclusively by reservation only as it only accommodates around 16 guests in seats of 2. You will have guests across from you if booked as a party of 2. The check-in process is done inside the main Rockwells Bakery entrance and your entrance will be staggered so you get the full speakeasy experience. Once your reservation has been made and deposit ($25 per person non refundable but will go toward your bill) you will be given the password and address. Upon being escorted to the entrance you knock on the door, provide the password and will be given the rules. You will the take the stairs where you will be given a small tasting and description of all.of the nights cocktails (you are not confined to these and they will also make what you want or let the run wild if you want something unique and off menu). They also have several great food options from a charcuterie plate, lobster rolls, burger, steak and fries, burrata salad and creme brulee for dessert. The drinks will run around $20 each but are made well and are not your simple run of the mill cocktails and each represents the place well. The staff was very friendly and accommodating (albeit a bit slow on the night we came) but they have only been open for a short time. With Instagram advertising it has been blowing up and they are currently booked solid though November. They are open on Friday and Saturdays only with slots at 7:00 or 9:00. We opted for a charcuterie plate, 2 cocktails each and a creme brulee to share for dessert and it ran us about $100 after the deposit was credited. They do add a 20% tip automatically as well but we did leave a little something extra for for the small team as well. This was overall a very cool experience that I will definitely return to again. Anyone looking for a quality speakeasy with great drinks, a good food menu and a friendly staff this is a place you should definitely check out. A 5 star experience that will only get better as they work out timing issues.

    46 is a new speakeasy that just recently opened at Rockwell's Bakery in Villa Park. They are currently only open on Friday and Saturday nights with timeslots at 7pm and 9pm. Seating is limited and by reservation only. Go to the Rockwell's website to request a reservation from the list of available dates and times. If you manage to snag a spot, there is a $25 per person deposit which will be applied to your bill. When you arrive, check-in with the host at Rockwell's. One at a time, each party gets their own short experience. You are escorted through the bar area and out the side door of the building. A few steps away there is a wooden door with a sheriff's office sign and an illuminated number 46 on the door. Walk up to the door, knock, and you will be asked for the password supplied with your reservation. The entrance to 46 is definitely the most unique and immersive of any speakeasy or bar we have ever been to. When the door opened, we were greeted by Chuck who I spoke to on the phone to book the reservation. The Sheriff's office area is dimly lit and contains two cells of locked up liquor bottles and another cell with the sheriff's desk and files illuminated in red. You then walk through a gate and up the wooden stairs through the dimly lit mineshaft with rock walls and a rock ceiling. There are even rumbling sounds as you ascend. Turn right at the top of the stairs, and you enter the bar area. You can tell there was a lot of time and effort put into the décor. It is very new looking, but very authentic at the same time. Both walls at the top of the stairs give the illusion of a much longer staircase and wider bar area. The walls are a great mix of wood and stone, and even the rocky ceiling makes you feel as though you are sitting in a carved out spot inside a mine. We walked down to the bar area and were greeted by Nick. There is no drink menu. They were showcasing four different cocktails and you could taste each one by dipping a new straw into each and pulling out a sample. If you don't care for any of them, you can request a drink or have the bartender create something for you. My girlfriend and I have different tastes, but we each liked two of the four drinks, so it worked out perfectly. We were the first party in our timeslot, so this whole time we had the place to ourselves. When we finished sampling the cocktails and were seated, the next party came in for their solo time, and so on. I think it's great they do it this way instead of having a large group of up to 16 people come in at once. My first cocktail was the Creamsicle margarita. It had a nice creamy mouthfeel with a light orange flavor that wasn't overly sweet. This was definitely different than your average margarita. Her first was the Zesty Alchemist which is served in a wine glass which makes it feel like a large drink. It has Grey Goose vodka, passion fruit, and ginger, and was light and refreshing with a great nose. My second cocktail was the Nuttin But Honey old fashioned. They infuse the rye with honey in-house along with a fat wash. I like my old fashioned with something in it to take down the alcohol bite a bit, and this one did a great job of doing that by adding some sweetness and complexity to make a real smooth cocktail. Her second was The Golden Peach. If I'm not mistaken, I think the alcohol was bourbon but it was extremely well balanced with a great peach flavor that wasn't too sweet. All four featured cocktails were very good. We came during the 9pm time slot, so we had already eaten dinner. A snack is always good with drinks, so we ordered the charcuterie board. It had three different meats, two cheeses, four crisp pieces of bread, olives, grapes, a strawberry jam, and a spicy mustard. The plate was on the smaller side, but it was a perfect sized late night snack to go along with two rounds of drinks. We were starting to wind down the evening when Nick brought us two complementary shots. One was a bourbon basil mix, and the second was a vodka mint mix. The vodka mint shot blew me away, and I ended up ordering a full sized version. I think he said it was vodka, honey, lemon, and mint, and I'm guessing a little strawberry puree. It was so bright, flavorful, and refreshing. I easily could have had a few more of those. Nick was more or less a one man show with just a little help. In addition to making some great drinks, he provided great service. We really enjoyed chatting with him for a while at the end of the evening, and you can tell he has a lot of passion for 46. The area is small and seats a maximum of 16 people. The only potential negative is that on a busy night, you will be seated across from strangers. We were fortunate that it wasn't full during our visit, and we had our own table with an additional empty table next to us. It is a small place, and they need to fill the seats so I get it. This is a great new speakeasy that I would definitely recommend visiting.

    What a neat find. Steven had been telling me that there was a new speakeasy located at Rockwell's Bakery and that you had to put in reservations. Currently, it is only open on Friday and Saturday evenings, at 7:00pm and 9:00pm. He had requested 7:00 but the only slots available were at 9:00 so he snagged them. When you arrive, you check in at the hostess stand at the bakery and it comes as first come first serve, reservation only. They take your party each separately, minutes apart, so that each party gets the full speakeasy experience. Once called, you are escorted over to the secret door where you knock and provide the password that is given to you at the time of reservation. It was really cool and definitely had a speakeasy theme all around it. The owner let us in and talked about the room for a bit as we observed alcohol tucked away behind metal bars. If you got into trouble, you would be locked in the cell! Just kidding, it was computer screens with cameras hidden behind a jail cell door. As we were walked into the bar area we were introduced to the bartender and the server for the night. They had a flight of four cocktails out which were their specials for the night. If you really did not want any of them, you could request something. We were able to take samples of each one and took our seat. The room currently allows for 16 people to sit along two rows of 8, and oddly enough, every party was a party of 2 that night. Everyone ended up mingling with strangers now sitting across from them. We were the one exception with our own section. The service was really great and friendly from start to finish, between the food and drinks and checking up on us. The service was a bit slow which could be improved, and I noticed some confusion multiple times regarding what order the drinks were made (we were almost last even though we were the third to order), food orders, and then even when paying the bill. All was squared away. Due to the hype on IG, reservations were already booked through October as of a week ago, so hurry up and get a reservation if you can.

    orange creamsicle margarita
    Jessica C.

    Please take me back here! The food and drinks were phenomenal! I loved the honey butter old fashioned, and my husband enjoyed the orange creamsicle margarita, which surprisingly wasn't as sweet as it sounded. I appreciated the opportunity to sample each drink before purchasing, especially since the cocktails came with a hefty price tag of $20. If the featured cocktails don't tickle your fancy, the mixologist can craft whatever you're craving for the same price as the specialty drinks. We ordered the burger, which was juicy and topped with a delectable apple whiskey chutney that elevated it beyond my expectations. The 16 oz ribeye was excellent and paired perfectly with the best yuca fries I've ever tasted, and that spicy chimichurri was to die for! The manager and bartender shared the responsibility of waiting tables and did a damn good job of doing so. With only 4 tables and 16 seats, the need for additional servers wasn't warranted. The old mineshaft decor spoke for itself. It gave Thunder Mountain vibes in the best possible sense. We really enjoyed our dining experience at 46. I'd rather spend $250 here than at some stuffy, swanky steakhouse. Even though we arrived as a party of two, we were fortunate enough to have a table to ourselves. I don't think the experience would have been the same had they sat us with strangers. That's just odd to me - and very uncomfortable. The 90 minutes flew by. I wish we had more time to enjoy our perfect date night. The process of booking on the website was simple: -fill out an interest form -receive a call from Chuck about 9-10 days before the requested date (if you get in) -pay a $25 deposit per person via a link sent by text -check in with the hostess at Rockwell's

    If you like speakeasies you gotta check this place out! It's reservation only and they're only open Fridays and Saturdays. It's decorated like an old mining camp with oak barrels, dynamite, old glass bottles, and wanted posters. They have a very impressive collection of spirits. They've only been open for a few weeks and are still working on their drink menu, making tweaks and perfecting everything. Worth going though if you can get in. You walk up to the door, knock and give the password. Then you're led to the tasting room. You're given a taste of their current specialty cocktails which you can choose from, or have them make any other cocktail you'd like. Let them get creative, you won't be disappointed! We started with a honey butter whiskey cocktail called "Nuttin But Honey". It was delicious with some sweet notes but very balanced. My fiancé got the "Zesty Alchemist" which was a very refreshing citrus drink, not too sweet but really good. For our second round we both got their special Old Fashioned which uses fat washed (in bacon) whiskey. It was so smooth with a little smokey flavor, garnished with a perfectly crispy slice of bacon. Totally worth getting! They do have a food menu as well and everything looks and sounds so good. We decided on the crispy pork belly. It was a nice big chunk of pork belly perfectly cooked and covered with a tasty sweet sauce. It was laid on top of a bed of roasted corn (esquites) and cilantro crema. It was the perfect bite with our drunks! To finish I had the mixologist make me a rye whiskey based drink. He did NOT disappoint! He made a delicious drink with Bulleit Rye, Chambord, and pineapple. It was such a great finish to a wonderful experience! The bartenders and hosts are great, very attentive and helpful with their explanations. Don't be afraid to ask questions and explore new flavors here, they're here to guide you. We'll be back as soon as possible!

    There was a total of 4 of us and had a great time at the speakeasy. You check in at the bakery with a hostess and she/he will guide you to the front door when ready. We had 7pm reservations and downside we didn't get sat until 7:30 and they have timed seatings. We tried all of their holiday drinks and also had 2 appetizers (charcuterie board and lobster Mac and cheese) and we also ordered the crab stuffed prawns, burger, and bacon wrapped dates. Everything was delicious. The decorations for the holidays was so cute.

    This is a new hidden Gem of a speakeasy. It is an amazing experience from the door knock to the time you are seated and then drinks / dinner. They have worked hard on small details all around the speakeasy and it's awesome. Bartender is one of the best and so is the server. It's a small intimate experience and I highly recommend one should try. We can't wait to visit again when they have Christmas decorations. Thanks again for an amazing night last night.

    46 speakeasy hosted my book club. Such a great venue, and place for intimate event.

We arrived around 6pm on a Sunday evening and we were bummed that it was packed full inside. We decided to go have a drink upstairs, and then come back down later to see if it was any less busy. There must have been one big group who left because 30 minutes later, it was completely empty inside. There are a few wood tables outside of the entrance and several two seat tables along the outside of the side of the train, but for a first visit we definitely wanted to be inside. When you come inside at BXCR, there are two long green couches along each side that wrap around to the entrance to maximize available space. There are two steamer trunks on each side that serve as tables. We were surprised that all of the tables had a Yahtzee game on them, and we had a blast playing that while we enjoyed our drinks. If you happen to roll a Yahtzee, they give you a candle as a prize. There is good background music playing that fits the environment. There is some good décor with overhead baggage racks and international clocks on one wall, and gauges on the wall next to the bar. There are some small rectangular windows along the top of both sides, and some curtained windows on the right side which do let a little light in. When the main entrance door is opened before its dark outside, it does let quite a bit of light in and kills the ambience temporarily. I would recommend coming closer to or after sunset to not let any outside sunlight interfere with your experience. The drinks are made at the bar in the rear where there are several seats and a little standing room. It wasn't on the current menu, but I saw on a previous menu they had an Amaretto Sour so I started with that, and it did not disappoint. It was nice and frothy from an egg white and had Angostura bitters on top. My girlfriend started with the Calm Cruise which was great. It's basically a Pina Colada, but with an additional honeydew flavor in the background. For number two, I tried the C-League cocktail. The smokiness of Mezcal has grown on me lately if it is not the primary flavor, and in this drink it is at a nice level somewhere in the middle. The cucumber and cilantro are definitely present, along with a little heat from the ancho verde and a little sweetness from the Luxardo maraschino. This is a excellent easy-drinking tequila cocktail. Her number two was the Aviation which she enjoyed. Vince was our main bartender along with Sarah. They were very friendly and fun to chit-chat with while they were mixing up our drinks. This is definitely a cool place to check out, and we will definitely return.
