A local treasure. What more can I say? We enjoyed Happy Hour earlier today: Manhattan and sparkling wine! read more

Cute little speakeasy above the barber shop. Go through the doors and take the stairs up. Free parking around the area. Hosts and servers were nice. Charcuterie was a charcuterie. Drink was good. Nothing stood out as something that would call me back here in particular. Maybe the fact that they allowed someone to bring in their child and sit at the bar to hang out... That was actually refreshing. I appreciate a place that appreciates family and good drinks and food. read more

Ok, this place was amazing! Showed up and it looked closed. Probably intentional. Walk up the back steps, ring the bell, and they'll let you in. 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. read more

This is a true speakeasy--small, intimate, and cleverly hidden behind a different business downstairs, adding to the charm. The drinks are fantastic, and they put real effort into making them unique, which sets them apart from a typical cocktail bar. The ambiance is spot on--quiet enough for a conversation but still lively with great music. Service is decent, though with the limited space, you might have to wait if you come on a busy weekend. That said, it's absolutely worth it for the experience. A hidden gem! read more

Quintana's Speakeasy - Entrance - Speakeasies Near Me - Cleveland Heights, Ohio

This place is awesome. You can get your hair done, have a drink, take in some music within a hour. What a hidden gem.

This hidden gem is a must visit for cocktail fans or anybody trying to wow someone with a memorable night out. The speakeasy sits above the also excellent Quintana's barbershop. During hours tou can enter the barbershop like any customer and head up the stairs. The trick bookshelf opens when you press the button inside a book. The ambiance of the speakeasy is as attractive as the cocktails the bartender makes.rich mahogany and comfortable leather club and wingback chairs with old movies playing quietly on a few tv screens. The vibe is very laid back perfect for enjoying a drink and conversation with a friend. Another thing dirty mentioning is that Quintanas has their own parking lot whether you're their for a drink, haircut or salon visit next door The bartenders have a few choice staple and special cocktails on the menu but will skillfully put something together for you depending on your taste read more

The service was really good..... The ambiance was nice low key spot..... I didn't order any food , but they do offer small plates .... Overall the experience was a nice night out read more

I've been here twice and both times were great experiences. The path to get inside is quirky and fun and the speakeasy itself is great. Excellent service, strong, delicious drinks, and the food was delicious as well! The ambiance is cozy and intimate, easy to stay for a couple hours and converse with your companions. I definitely plan on coming back again soon. read more

Quintana's definitely has speakeasy vibes because you have to be buzzed in from the back door (then go upstairs from the barber shop) and then find the right book to lift -- there will be a button to unlock the door (same thing to get out). Very cool design and nice speakeasy style decor, though a tad dark inside but that's probably the vibes. The bartender was very friendly and came to help us very quickly, and offered to make recommendations as well. They have a ton of lovely cocktails on the menu, and I wanted to try many of them, but I ended up getting the pink moon, which was refreshing and tasty (like the description says :D). We also got a charcuterie board to share, which was pretty big with two wedge slices of cheese, some bread, two rows of cured meats (interestingly cut as round slices instead of thin slices), some apricots and nuts over a tiny bit of salad. For two people, it was enough to fill us up as a medium meal. We didn't come on an event night, so it was fairly empty inside, only a few parties, but I saw a sign for events or music nights which I imagine would definitely draw a crowd. Their weekday HH is a 15% off deal so aim for that if you get the chance. Worth a visit, I enjoyed this speakeasy experience! read more

Really liked this place! Small, quaint typical speakeasy vibe. Thank goodness for yelp reviews which gave some indication how to get inside this place. The entrance door is in the back. You'll first see a Barbershop. Go upstairs & you'll see several doors but look for the book case. The secret to getting in lies in opening the correct book. They also have a 3rd level where some folks can gather but I didn't go up there. The mixologist was very knowledgeable & able to make the menu drinks or whatever you describe. As a mezcal drinker, I enjoyed one that was on the menu (don't recall name) & also the old fashion. It was close to closing when we were there on a Wed night so it was pretty empty. Enjoyed the quiet, laid back vibe. Would definitely return again. read more

Finally made it there, what a gem of a place, atmosphere, layout, drinks, service 5star for sure

If you're looking for a classy, unique, cozy and intimate vibe - this is your place. It's the perfect spot to bring a date and has a fun twist since you have to figure out how to get inside the bar (I won't ruin it for you!). The cocktails are phenomenal. Some light bites are served like bruschetta that are so good! The only downside is that it is such a small space that it can fill up quickly on busy nights like the weekend or event nights. So you'll either be stuck waiting or have a time limit or limited party size. read more

What a gem!! Not only do they have a picture perfect atmosphere, carefully crafted cocktails but now they also have absolutely delicious appetizers!! A Cleveland Hts Happy MUST!! read more

A very cool vibe for cocktails with a few friends. The drinks are well made and delicious with a good range of options. They have classic cocktails that are easily recognizable, but also some lovely original creations. The atmosphere is very cozy and the service is good. I sent my brother and sis in law who live in Los Angeles here over the Thanksgiving break and they said the same. I know they offer snacks and charcuterie, but I've only experienced the drinks on my visits so far. read more

Quintana's Speakeasy - Speakeasies Near Me - Cleveland Heights, Ohio

One of my favorite places to introduce people to. I have had so many wonderful experiences there until recently. I bragged about Speakeasy for years to a friend and she asked if we could take her there for drinks and apps before her birthday dinner. When we arrived at 3:15 there was no code needed and the secret door was wide open which took away from the first cool experience. I told them the mixologists there were extremely creative. After reviewing the cocktail menu, I shared what I liked with the mixologist and asked her to create something for me. She brought me a drink off the menu. First time this has ever happened. I would not have ordered that drink which had sparking wine in it. I did not complain because I did not to put more of a damper on the experience for my friends. For our second round we just ordered off the menu. Drinks were okay but nothing special. I was disappointed with the cheese tray and ordered the spread tray as well. The bar service was rushed, not as attentive and special as I had experienced in all my visits before. After being there for about 45 min we were told that they were conducting a class shortly and we would have to relocate to the upper floor in a few. I was a bit disappointed after telling my guest for years about the very special, cool, laid back experience they would have if we go as soon as it opens. read more

very laid back spot. good place for a date. some interesting looking drinks. solid service.

First time here and competent craft cocktails in a really fun speakeasy setting - the design of the main door is right up there with national places like PDT. Only had one round but will be back! read more

Best speakeasy I've ever visited. Quality drinks, comfy spaces and friendly mixologists. 10/10 highly recommend!

Such a cute little speakeasy, something hard to come by in Cleveland, and located conveniently in Cleveland Heights! I've come twice in the evening for drinks and it has super cozy, living room vibes. The drinks are on the pricier side but they are unique, cute, and delicious. The bartender was so friendly and helpful. Definitely an awesome spot for a date or to hang with friends. I won't spoil how to enter the bar as it's part of the fun, check it out for yourself! read more

I'm so glad that I stumbled across this gem when I was looking for happy hour places in the Cleveland Heights area. This place is a barbershop by day, and a speakeasy by night. Half of the fun is in discovering how to enter the place, and find all the secret entry ways to get you to the bar. I don't wanna spoil it at all, but it really was so fun. The drinks are on the pricier side, coming in around $14-$15 for the majority of the cocktails, but the drinks my friend and I had were both delicious. I don't recall the name of the one I got, but it was the one with elderflower and butterfly pea gin, and my friend had the one with lavender. This is definitely not a place for a big party, there was a group of five that came after we did, and I honestly don't think the bar could've accommodated a larger group. This is a great place to go with a party of two or three for an intimate evening. I appreciated how the restaurant had some finger food for us to enj. My friend and I got the charcuterie board, which was really delicious. They had two different cheeses, and two different meats, as well as some mustard, pickles, and nuts. Something about the pickles were just incredible. I definitely hope to come back and explore more of the menu, and definitely want to show this place tomorrow of my friends, but selfishly I also want to keep it a secret. read more

I felt a little awkward as a guy getting a pedicure, but needed work done on my feet. The ladies on the salon side were quite lovely and made it very comfortable for me. Anything you want done though you do want to make an appointment as this place is hopping! They do a good job and a lot of people know it. I really fell in love with the speakeasy barber side. Although I have been there to early for a drink! Lol. I sometimes like a shave on top of my head right down to the dome. This is a fun place to do it with great comfy chairs and a wonderful on point staff. Unless you are lucky right at 8, you probably want to make an appointment. But it will be worth it as they take care of more than just the hair on the head if need be like a barber shop of old and have a great assortment of products to have a gentleman looking his best. And come on now gents, we can do better to up our game to stand out with our ladies! Here is a good first step! read more

Absolutely love how you get in! That's what makes this place. Then there's the prohibition era decor, the club-like atmosphere and Peaky Blinders playing on loop. The vibe, the theme, the look, they got it on lock. The drink menu was pretty and varied. The drinks themselves tasted great! But the glasses were sooo skinny and iced/watered down and weak. Even for a lightweight, I thought the drinks were weak! I do appreciate the mocktail section but charging $8 for juice with mostly ice deserves a star off. If you're lucky enough to snag one, there is actually a small lot in the back! read more

I was looking for a spot to meet up with a colleague in the late afternoon. Quintana's was amazing. The vibe was a lot of fun, the atmosphere was comfortable and relaxing, the drinks were really terrific, the charcuterie board hit the spot, and the service was impeccable. At 4 pm, it was the perfect spot for a relaxed conversation; I can imagine the buzz and energy during primetime. Would definitely go back, especially early. The smokey old-fashioned was awesome in its presentation and taste. read more

The drinks were great! I got the dancing dead, it was delicious & not overly sweet or boozy. Margarita esque but definitely tasted expensive. The howling for nothing had that nutty flavor; couldn't exactly taste the pistachio, but for someone who typically does not go for boozy drinks, I would definitely order again. The ambiance was super cozy & conversation inducing... I wish the kitchen/bar closed at the same time as listed online--I really wanted to try the shmear & the Chilean bruschetta! Great taking to the bartenders & they were very courteous... thank you for the bread & butter to snack on! read more

I strongly recommend Quintan's Speak easy, it has a classy vibe with great atmosphere and friendly bartenders that provide friendly and great service. Check out their delicious small plate menu so you don't drink your wine or cocktail on an empty stomach. I had my first old fashioned there and now it's my go to cocktail. read more

Two weeks later and I'm still thinking about the delicious drinks I had at this place. What a wonderful Speakeasy. This is exactly what I want when I come to a speakeasy. Walk into a quaint and simple barbershop and spa just to go up some stairs which lead to a bookshelf and some doors. I'll let you figure out the rest when you go. (We had to be let in by the way.) Once inside we sat in a cozy corner where some chill music was playing. What I loved about the selection of music was that it was a mix between some amazing jazz music and lovely modern artists including jazz artists and some alternative and such, but it was a lovely variety. I personally love jazz, but for those who aren't a fan, it's a nice balanced mix. I think all speakeasys should play jazz since it's essential to the era speakeasys came about. But too the real stuff... The food we ordered was literally everything on the menu. We had a large group. The meat and cheeses were fresh and delicious. Now my go to drinks are bourbon based. I can usually never go wrong with an old fashioned. But in a speakeasy I like to order period drinks. Preferably drinks with egg white. I love the foam it makes. I am so glad I ordered the Whiskey Sour. It was exactly what I wanted. It wasn't too sweet, plenty of foam and could still taste the fantastic bourbon. Our time there wasn't long enough as we got there late, but this is a must on my next visit to Cleveland. What a treat. Keep it up. read more

It's defiantly something to see if you live in Cleveland . Would I go back ? Yes. Would I bring my date? Yes. Would I bring my mom? No. They have live music every Thursday . Drinks look cool. Bartenders take their job a bit too serious ---I would have a better experience if I didn't hear their conversation. read more

Quintana's Speakeasy - The door that will lead you up to their second secret room in the attic. - Speakeasies Near Me - Cleveland Heights, Ohio

Three levels to the building- you buzz in and go up to the small middle floor where there is a bar. The upstairs third floor is like a small loft for maybe 8 people in three or four small groups. Very cozy. Buttons for service to be signaled when upstairs are helpful. Servers were very friendly. Drinks are eclectic or classic depending on which you choose. The 24K had mezcal and carrot juice among other ingredients and was super delicious- Like a smoky carrot. Both of my drinks were not strong or boozy at all, and seemed a bit weak especially because I've never had a scotch cocktail that wasn't in your face whisky forward. Not a big deal, I was there to socialize and not to get wasted but good to be aware of. The Gathering used cheese and peppercorn washed scotch and was super delicious with this mild umami note. Just a few food items to choose from like charcuterie so eat beforehand. Small parking lot behind building. read more

Came here on Friday afternoon, it was our first time there and it was a good time. The ambiance was nice; the staff was friendly. I will say the prices are pretty high. I got the I carried a watermelon cocktail that was $14 and my husband got a pour of Woodford Reserve Master Collections, which was $30 for a pour, which did seem to be on the heavier side. Overall it was cool experience and would stop back in to meet friends but wouldn't go out of our way to go back. read more

Small but fun place to have a drink. We took my in laws who loved the speakeasy experience (you have to "find" the bar). Drinks were strong and good, but pricey. We went on a Thursday around 5 and were the only party there but as we were leaving around 6, it started to fill up. Would definitely come back, if not for the the drinks, for the experience. read more

You wont regret going here, I can promise you that! Not only was the speakeasy so fun to try and get into (I wont tell you how to open the door because it's part of the charm), but the staff was friendly and nice, the drinks were delicious and strong, and the atmosphere was exactly what you think of when you hear the word "speakeasy." I will definitely be coming back! I got the Tender Lovin' Pear, and let me tell you, it was one of the best drinks I've ever had! The cinnamon really added to the flavor. I loved the atmosphere of the bar; they had Peaky Blinders playing in the background which just added to the vibe. Such a fun experience and great place! read more

Quintana's Speakeasy - Monks on Holiday and Tender Lovin' Pear - Speakeasies Near Me - Cleveland Heights, Ohio

Attended a small get together in their private party room. Just like an old speakeasy you have to be buzzed in. The bar and private room are hidden behind 'secret' bookcases on the second and third floors of this renovated historic home, while a daytime barber shop and luxury spa are located on the first floor. Perfectly decorated with a real old time ease and feel. Olivia (bar manager) was so helpful in the planning and execution of the party I went to, which was a surprise marriage proposal. They have a buzzer in the private room to order drinks from the downstairs bar, tho we were well checked in on by the staff periodically. They have a small occupancy availability which helps give this gem its' relaxing and intimate atmosphere. I'd recommend calling before hand especially when you will be with a group. I also advise to check out their website for the best tips on how to get in, where to park and the menu. They have a small plate menu, our charcuterie board was tasty and beautifully presented. The cocktail menu is old school, unique and very well curated, even offering some special mocktails. Our drinks were made with fresh ingredients, skill and were enjoyed by the members of my party. If you're looking for an interesting experience with a flare of the past Quintanas is a great choice. I'd say it's a little more upscale and swanky, but definitely approachable for all. A perfect place for a special date night, small intimate party or just to unwind with a classic drink. Go and try a new twist on a speakeasy that represents the days of old, you'll be happy you did. read more

This is the best kept secret in the Heights!!! Schedule a spa service or salon visit and hang out with your besties in the secret speakeasy! Even if the speakeasy isn't open, then you can still get gourmet mimosas ( or beers ) in the Salon... Make it a fun weekend! read more

Swanky and chic little spot to hang in the most intimate setting. So if you have been to Velvet Tango or Felice, this is a serious combination of the two! Sitting in an old house on the main drag of Taylor, who would think you go to the back door, buzz at the blue light to be let into a barber shop! Walk a few steps thru the shop and go upstairs to a bookcase where a secret button opens the door! How cool is that? Once inside, is the sweetest little bar and coziest little sitting areas...all they need is a fireplace. Scratch that, because it is not possible, but you have banquet seating, high back chairs and a high table or two to seat up to four. Craft cocktails are made with expertise and scented liquors, block ice and herbs! They are not inexpensive, but if you are looking for an experience, $12 and $14 is the expected norm. It can get crowded, so hopefully you visit on a casual day. Perfect spot to hit after another spot for a wind down, perhaps a show or the theater! This was my first visit at 3pm the day after Christmas, but by the time we left at pm, it had a crowd! read more

I love this place! You initially walk into a barborshop but just walk up the stairs to reach the bookcase (that's the entrance to the Speakeasy). I'd tell you how to get in, but where is the fun in that? We came to Quintana's to celebrate a friends birthday with some swanky cocktails and wow did they deliver! They have a number of specialty cocktails that fit the season, as well as your classic cocktails, wine, and beer. You'll definitely find something you like here! Sitting is quite limited, so the earlier the better. This place is on the top of my list for when friends and family visit. read more

The barbershop receptionist led us up after my haircut (avoid the barbershop too!), and told us that there was a private event but "she won't kick you out". We sat at the bar, and within 20 seconds an employee came over hurriedly and snapped at us and the receptionist and said "I CAN'T TAKE THEM RIGHT NOW", so we were escorted out. The tone and attitude were the real problem, aside from being told we would be allowed in in the first place. There's a right way to handle the situation and say "I'm so sorry but we're at capacity". read more
