    Old fashioneds with bruleed orange peel
    Peg P.

    Unexpected treasure in Traverse City. Speakeasy vibes but manages not to feel trendy or hipster. The huge bourbon selection is a nice set up for some excellent old fashioneds. We got there early-ish on a Saturday, and there were several tables available. We had one leisurely drink at the bar and there was a line when we left. Three bartenders working, and they seemed to be exactly what one wants from a bartender. Helpful, knowledgeable, friendly without being intrusive, and really good at mixing drinks. Our bartender, Zach, was especially good at answering questions and made some epic cocktails for us and for nearby patrons. If I had been okay with getting drunk, I would have happily had several more rounds. It's dark, but not absurdly so. No windows since it's a basement space. Nothing kitschy or gimmicky that I could see. Nice working elevator if you can't or don't wish to take stairs up and down. The crowd waiting to get in after 8pm looked younger, so I'd say if you're over 35 and value quiet and space, get there earlier.

    Nice hidden bar that has such a fun vibe. Drinks are unique and very tasty. Service was great and they really are able to help find something you like with such a unique menu.

    Oh my goodness! COOLEST speakeasy ever!!! Follow the sign just passed 7 Monks Taphouse. Take the elevator down and be prepared to enter a different world. The smell of smoked drinks puts you into a Time Machine. Our waiter was hilarious and attentive. Highly recommend the espresso martini and The Boss

    We did not order food but instead came here after dinner for some drinks and friendly conversation with our bartender, Zach. The bar is located in a basement but exudes uber cool old world speakeasy with its dark but welcoming atmosphere and tiny private nooks. The drink prices are standard (a bit pricey) but the product and craftsmanship is superior. RECOMMEND for a romantic spot for date night.

    Krampus Old Fashioned

    Very cool place with a HUGE selection of bourbon (5 dedicated menu pages!). I had a Krampus Old Fashioned and hubby had a Sazerac. Both were excellent!! We also sampled a couple of hard to find Irish whiskeys that we had heard about but never tried. They do half shots, which is nice. I wish this place was closer to home! We'd be regulars.

    If you have time come because great cocktails are waiting for but if you are in a hurry I wouldn't

    The atmosphere of the bar

    Best speakeasy vibe in all of traverse city, the atmosphere is absolutely amazing, the drinks better, and the staff is so kind you'll want to take them with you! Perfect for a date night or a night out with friends

    I Love Speakeasies and this one did not disappoint. My BF had a delicious Old Fashioned called Krampus . It was incredible, they smoke the orange and just wow. I have my traditional Gin Martini and it was made correctly. The place is dimly lit, romantic and good vibes all around.

    I have to be honest, we didn't get to stay because we had a previous engagement, but we did walk in and the ambience was so inviting. Definitely had a 1920s speakeasy vibe. I personally love these kind of places definitely be back and try out some of their amazing menu options.

    Came here when it was decorated for Halloween and wow! Sometimes it can feel cheap, but this was done really well. Our server was so friendly and definitely made our night better. I ordered some drink with absinthe and it came in a smokey jar for me to pour which was really cool. It was also really strong and had great flavor.

    The bar

    A cocktail bar for cocktail enthusiasts. Finely crafted properly made drinks are a must and that's what you get here. No food. A very small selection of beer and wine. Very dark and moody. Sip a finely crafted drink and chill. It's probably not for everyone and that's perfect. Enjoy!

    The Lowbar!
