Short stroll thru the functioning barber shop and up the stairs. Better figure out how to get in once you get up there! Very original and felt like stepping back in time. Dark, old wood, and classic American furniture set the place back 100 years. Only ordered a beer since I was going to be driving but the bartender was fast and professional. Not a very big location on either floor (2nd and 3rd) but great vibe overall and a great experience. Nice and quiet, very chill environment.

The hostess was on the phone when we arrived. We weren't given the table we requested in our reservation but the absolute worst table that was broken and by the bathroom. She wasn't very apologetic. It was a 5:30 reservation on a Saturday and the place wasn't packed. We told we would be asked to leave promptly at 7pm. The food was average and came out so fast I couldn't even enjoy my drink. It's so hard for us to go out and get a babysitter and this was just so disappointing.

This spot gives off a sleek speakeasy feel--dark, moody, and elevated by stunning artwork. The dim lighting sets the perfect ambiance, making it an ideal place to unwind with a drink in hand. Speaking of drinks, the menu offers a solid selection of specialty cocktails, but if you're feeling adventurous, the bartender is happy to whip up something just for you. Just a heads-up--they don't serve food, so plan accordingly. I sipped on a crisp sparkling wine, and the elegant stemware with a twist of lemon was a classy touch. If you're looking for a stylish, intimate spot to enjoy well-crafted drinks, this is it!

I had a margarita and an espresso martini and both cocktails exceeded my expectations! The lime margarita was classic, slightly tart, and made me want another. The espresso martini was enjoyed by all - very smooth, full of flavor without making you feel full like some do because of too much cream, I assume. The space is cool, speak easy vibes, and the gentleman playing the piano was a nice tough with an ideal volume.

There was a live jazz pianist in every room. The ambiance was great. Keep in mind they don't have dinner food, just bar snacks, so don't come expecting a meal. The drinks were definitely pricey, especially for Cleveland (~$20 per drink, give or take), so I don't plan on coming frequently, but it's a fun spot for a night out.

I think cocktail bars like this are better enjoyed with quieter tones and less cackling. The service is very friendly. Not fast, but that's understandable since it was busy on a Saturday night. Old fashioned was very well-made and decently strong. Parking is ridiculous and we had to circle a bit before finding the entrance. I do love the secret newsstand entrance. Hint: look for the most worn-out looking item on the newsstand and grab that item and pull. ;)

From the moment you step inside, the cozy, warm aesthetic pulls you in. The décor is beautiful and intentional, giving you that authentic New Orleans vibe right here in Cleveland. The hostess was friendly and got us seated right away, which set the tone for a great experience as my friends and I celebrated a birthday brunch. The brunch menu was full of tempting options, but the stuffed French toast had to happen rich, flavorful, and absolutely worth it. One of my friends ordered the shrimp and grits, and baby, let me tell you... it was hitting. Perfectly seasoned, full of flavor, and the kind of dish you don't want to share. The food was hands down the highlight of the visit. Every plate was seasoned to perfection, full of bold flavors, and truly memorable. Overall, this place did not disappoint I'll definitely be back!

We were able to snag a couple of seats as 2 people were leaving. The place obviously lived up to its name. It's a vault, I get it... But what's cool about it was exploring all the extra rooms and booths. Certainly fun to get lost in it. I was also impressed by how festive it was. They were already decked out in Christmas decor, and the bartenders were in ugly Christmas sweaters. The cocktails were notably pricier than neighboring cocktail bars in the $16-$25 range. Their most expensive one was $35. I wanted to get The Safety Deposit, but they didn't have chartreuse at the time. I settled for the Post's Pom, which was nicely refreshing but overly sweet. My friend got the Cleveland Trust. It was tasty but also too sweet, and the charred dried orange killed the taste. My olfactory and taste senses were so confused. Can't say that The Vault was my favorite bar solely based on the quality of the cocktails, but can't beat the vibes.
