    Entrance

    We finally got over here to try this place out. Needless to say we were not disappointed. The service was great starting with the greeter at the entrance to the bartender and waiter. The waiters are also bartenders which is great because they can recommend drinks based on your preferences. The cocktails were on point as you would expect from this sort of establishment. The decor is pretty good too. It's quiet and they put effort into the artwork and the bar area. I highly recommend getting there close to opening if you go on a weekend otherwise you are in for a substantial wait, otherwise try a weekday. We had a really good time here and would come back again.

    So, this place is really cute! I'm not a super big fan of waiting in a long line to get in, which is partly why I didn't rate it 5 stars. My husband also didn't really love his drink. I tried it and it was not my favorite, either. He actually didnt even drink it all. My drink was good, but not great considering having to wait so long, etc. I'd probably come back if there wasn't a wait, but honestly there are so many great places in livermore with phenomenal craft cocktails that they would probably peak my interest more.

    Came here with some friends a couple weeks ago and had a great time. Some drinks we ordered were the hive mind, roya jelly no. 5, queens elixir, honeycomb's favorite gin and tonic, beeswax old fashioned, and white negroni. We loved all of our drinks!! I really loved my gin and tonic and the sweet sting. Interior was classy and dark. Love the booth seating. Ive been to couple of speakeasies before and this place was pretty loud in comparison. Would love it to be more quieter and more bathrooms! Next time I would love to try some of the snacks

    I love speak easys and am so happy to see more and more of them coming to the Bay Area! Honeycomb is unmarked but is on the side of the store Holiday. There is a doorman and you have to know the password to get in which changes frequently. You can check their Instagram to find out what the current password is before you go. The dimly lit room gives all the vibes and the place is packed starting on Thursdays. I went on a Tuesday which allowed me to see the place and not having to worry about it being over crowded. They offer delicious small bites so if you're looking for a meal I suggest you eat before hand and make this your after spot. I enjoyed tapas and some of the most delicious cocktails I've ever had! Ask for the purple drink with chili oil; you won't be disappointed. I loved all the small details like monogrammed ice cubes. We racked up a $800 bill but we were in great company, great drinks, and great food so totally worth it. I'm not sure if they have music on the weekend but if they do then it would be perfect! Our waitress was sweet, attentive, and really connected with our table. If you're looking for a nice lounge look no further; this is it!

    It's a vibe! First time here and got the password to enter through their Instagram page. Make sure to check their Instagram for their hours as they do change. Very refreshing to find an actual speakeasy. We must've came at the right time as there was only one group ahead of us cause by the time we left there was a large line to get in. The guy at the front door was so extremely nice. I wish he was our waiter. He would've made our whole experience and would've made this a five star review however that was one of the only problems with our visit was our waitress., she seemed like she couldn't be bothered with us. Drinks are on the pricier side being about $18-$25 a drink. So it's definitely not a place you go to drink all night but worth having a single drink or two we also had some fries and I have to say they were very good although it did take about 15-20 minutes to get them but then again I would come back at least to start the night with a drink. It's absolutely adorable inside!

    The vibe here is great! The signature cocktail drinks are so yummy as well! I had my 35th birthday there and we all had such a good time. It was a private event and I worked with Zak on all the details. All of the guests raved about how delicious the food was. They loved the vibe and ambience. It was so cutely decorated during Christmas time. The bartenders did a great job serving the guests drinks in a timely manner. Zak did a great job helping deliver on the night of the event. I have also gone when it was open to the public and had a great time!

    Matches. It's a smoke-free environment, but they offer these on the table.

    I was able to finally experience this little hideaway gem last Thursday evening. Tucked away, literally in Downtown Livermore. When I say that this place meets the swanky, yet intimate ambience, it truly does. I love how you have to use a secret word for entry by the way go on their website to obtain said secret word. I love how it's intimately set up, but it has so many pieces of art throughout. You have to really take in the place once you're settled in. The drinks let's talk about the drinks how they did not disappoint whatsoever. you think it's a small drink, but you're truly tipping into infinity. The service was impeccable, next time I venture to this establishment I'll make sure I come early enough to partake in their small bites that they do have on their menu. This is definitely a place that will have a lasting impression in a great way. It is great for date night, it's great for ladies night, it's great for if you just wanna go by yourself as well.

    New speakeasy in downtown Livermore! I had a great time so buckle up, I got a lot to say friends. I know speakeasy's are meant to be secret but I'm spilling the beans for y'all. They're located in the alleyway between The Holiday store and Locanda Wine Bar. We came for date night on a Friday evening around 8:00pm and there were two parties ahead of us in line. We waited about 10 minutes and at the front, the bouncer asked us for the password (hint...follow their Instagram!) and we entered a little alcove where a hidden door opened. We were seated at a cute table, though I will note that when they're at max capacity, you won't have a choice of table as they have two standing tables for parties of 4 or less. They have bar seating and cozy booths too! I don't believe they take reservations at the moment since they recently opened, but I will hop on that so fast once it's active. I loooooove themed bars and Honeycomb Cocktail Lounge was a dream. It is so thoughtfully decorated as a homage to honeycomb! The light fixtures that look like dripping beeswax, honeycomb pattern lamps, hexagon shaped shelves...there's some variation of honey in the cocktails too! I even noticed the orange peel in my husband's old fashioned was cut out into a hexagon...I was so giddy can't you tell with all my pictures of his smoky drink :P The menu is a book!! Like wow, 46 pages (at least). If you're a fan of tasting different or hard to find alcohol, this is your spot. Our waiter (Zac? So sorry I am truly hard of hearing) was swift in recommending his favorite cocktails. For bourbon, his top choice was Boulevardier so we'll try that next time! For their signature drinks, he recommended Roya Jelly No.5 and Queen's Elixir, Sweet Sting for Mezcal lovers (also digging these themed drink names). I personally think the Hive Mind is out to get you with the Baijiu but maybe one day I'll be curious enough...lol Roya Jelly No.5 ($18): The melon is strong in this one and I loved it! I tasted the pineapple and honey too. Really had to resist chugging it. And the best surprise of all, it came with a stainless steel straw!!! Not a paper one that will melt in 30 seconds!!! Gosh the things we get excited for these days but this truly made my day hahaha Beeswax Old Fashioned ($20): This drink came with the option to add smoke! It was so cool and I wish I had ample lighting to take a video because I was mesmerized. The drink itself was very strong but silky smooth with a hint of smoke, of course. It had bee pollen in it, which I didn't know was edible! Price wise the drinks are definitely a treat, but I see it as the experience is included. You don't often find these ingredients in typical cocktails (I think) so this is some fancy curating and bartending. You can tell each drink recipe was thoughtfully taste tested. The only thing missing is a live jazz band...if this happens I will positively freak out and come all the time.

    Livermore is growing up. Wonderful addition to downtown. We arrived at 6PM, perfect timing. We didn't have to wait in line. Lovely craft cocktails. It's elegantly decorated and a nice intimate spot. I recommend coming early and getting the code word for entry on Instagram or Facebook.

    They serve non alcoholic drinks too. This wildwonder is my new favorite health drink.

    I wish I would have known about this place sooner!!! Intimate speakeasy in DT Livermore. Don't go without knowing the password, because you won't get in. Mine to get in can be long, however, it moves quickly. There are heaters outside to keep you warm while you wait. Once the mirrored door opens you enter a magical place where you can hang your coats. The service is outstanding and the drinks were very reasonable looking forward to taking more friends there.

    This place was so pretty! It was my first ever bar and speakeasy. I wish there were more non alcholic drinks but overall the vibes were there! The chips and dip was super flavourful and the french fries were really crispy! Service was kind of slow but overall I really likes this place.

    Melissa P.

    A truly special evening finding a truly hidden gem in downtown Livermore. The experience as inspired by an Instagram password allowing entrance into a secret unassuming doorway in an alley between buzzing establishments on First Street. There was a queue on Saturday night but the wait was reasonable and well worth it. The service was exceptionally attentive throughout thecevening and the decor was stunning. Cocktails were just beautiful and were expertly crafted. We will definitely be back for another memorable experience and next time to try the food!

    Cindy N.

    Such a fun speakeasy bar in Livermore! The line was long so get ready to wait a little bit but it was worth it. Their drinks are honey inspired and all delicious. We sat at the bar so we were able to chat with the bartenders which created a fun atmosphere

First off, this is NOT on the staff working. We genuinely felt bad for them. Management thought it was a good idea to schedule ONE bartender and ONE server on a packed Saturday night. The entire place was chaotic, customers were visibly irritated, TVs throughout the restaurant stopped working, and the poor employees were drowning trying to keep up. The stress was palpable that made the experience stressful and not enjoyable. Absolute management failure. At one point I used their self-pour beer wall and poured myself half a Modelo only for it to come out warm I was able to find another beer that was actually cold... but still charged for the warm one. The food was somehow even worse. We ordered the barbacoa nachos, wedge salad, and a kids burger with fries. The kids burger was the only edible thing. The wedge salad was drowning in ranch like someone emptied the whole bottle on it. Tomatoes tasted old and gross. Then came the nachos... tiny portion, bland chips, barely any cheese, no mango salsa like the menu claimed, and the "barbacoa" -- if you could even call it that -- was tough, fatty, and completely inedible. $74 later for one appetizer, one salad, one kids meal, and 1 1/2 beers. We only tipped because we felt bad for the server. We will NEVER be back. Thanks for ruining our Mother's Day dinner.
