We arrived…read moreabout ten minutes early and found the entranceway to the speakeasy by the clue given which was such a cool experience. Once in the restaurant, we went to the bar and got their amazing Golden Gatsby cocktail. It was sweet and fruity and had a nice kick to it. The bartender made great drinks our entire visit. I also got an old fashioned which was great. We ordered the beef wellingtons minis and the duck confit tacos which were very yummy. There were not a lot of people there at all. It was us and another couple. We did not have any long wait times at all which was one of the reasons I chose an earlier reservation time not a time later in the afternoon. The ambiance was perfect for date night and the vibe was very intimate. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a romantic evening with their significant other!

The TVs and speakers outside does not work so that needs to be fixed. The cover charge at the door should be illegal. Having to pay to get in and having to pay for a hookah is just crazy to me.

It wasn't crowded at all, but this *was* the night before Thanksgiving, so that made sense. That said, there was a decent group of regulars that seemed to love the place. And we can see why. As the other reviewer mentioned, this bar caters to an older crowd (baby boomers with a sprinkling of Gen X), which isn't to say that younger people wouldn't be welcomed ... but the shenanigans that sometimes comes with being younger would be out of place here. Don, Jared and the Konspiracy was the band last night, and they did a fine job of playing classic rock standards that kept the dance floor busy. The food at the back (jambalaya) was a really nice touch, and the bartender did a wonderful job of keeping everyone topped up with good cheer. We're glad to have discovered this locals hangout and we'll definitely be back.

There are plenty of seating options for couples or larger groups, and the sofas were sturdy, comfortable, and clean. The drinks were excellent, and the bartenders were attentive, friendly, and made each drink with care. I believe they offer happy hour all day on Sundays, and the happy hour menu includes several great drink options. I would definitely come back and grab a seat at the bar.

If I had to nitpick, I'm not quite sure on their claim to having exceptional cuisine. It's nothing to get excited for, but that's just my opinion.

Relaxed upscale atmosphere with fresh ingredient ingenious cocktails. Friendly staff that can even create something for you on the fly. The interior has exposed brick front wall, exposed wooden columns, and is tastefully decorated with old pictures of Johnny Cash and Frank Sinatra to give you that real home feel. There's a relatively long bar with barstools and comfortable lounge seating in the main room. There is a small patio outback for the beautiful days, and there's an upstairs (usually reserved for private parties) with its own bar and an overlook of the Mississippi River. They are open everyday and usually offer a seasonal cocktail menu for Christmas, Halloween etc. If you are downtown looking for a craft cocktail, this is a great place to sit back and enjoy a fresh ingredient cocktail.
