    Charcuterie board
    Jordan S.

    This is the coolest chill spot to be with your date. You make a reservation, get a secret code word, and you get your own spot for a few hours. Uninterrupted, charcuterie board was phenomenal. The drinks, the style, vibe and service was amazing!

    The drinks were great. It was a quick visit due to having a show to get to but the service was great! The vibe/ambiance is perfect if you're trying to have a good date night

    A true speakeasy. Come here to be transported to the back lounge of the famed, Barn Door steakhouse. Seriously. You make a reservation online and are given a code word. Upon arrival, you are asked for the code word. No code word, no entry. Once there, the spot is dimly lit. Perfect for a date. My gf and I enjoyed our time there and had an interesting assortment of cocktails with distinct ingredients. There is a finger food/snack menu. If you want a real meal, walk around the front :) This is the best cocktail speakeasy experience in town. The pair of bartenders know what they're doing. Come give it a try!

    It's a really cool and chill hidden gem, the way to enter the bar is unique and fun, staff is super friendly and I really enjoyed the ambiance of the place.

    Very small space and definitely requires a reservation. Service was attentive and friendly. Did not like that in some spaces you could see the diners of the restaurant. Cocktails were very delicious

    Cozy speakeasy with excellent cocktails. The bartenders were great and pleasant to talk to and ask about drink recommendations. Highly recommend for couples or small groups. Not made for large parties unless you can reserve the whole space.

    Great little spot (if you're lucky enough to get in)! Definitely recommend!! Best way is to text ahead.

    Secret entrance can be seen from Crownhill Blvd

    What is the dress code at RD speakeasy?

    It's a very classy place with prohibition style furniture and barkeeps. I would suggest business casual. It's definitely not a T-shirt and flip flops kind of place.

    Live in Tulsa and have one of the best cocktail bars in the country out there (believe it or not),…read moreso I'm particular about cocktail spots nowadays. That said, this place is great. Had the Wild Duck which was the experience the bartender who came up with the drink said it would be. Can tell they were true mixologist that are serious about their craft. Was kind of busy and loud but it was Friday night so what else would you expect. Definitely coming back.

    Take me to the underground to a hidden place next to the river walk!…read more It's a speakeasy so you shouldn't notice it right away but if your looking for it go to the back parking lot of where the address takes you close to the river walk look at the building that's right next to the parking lot a bit away from the road then look below and you'll see some tables and a door go down the stairs to get inside! They had a bunch of different cocktails inside lots of unique options and some not so much but where it was all about was the specials one in particular the Dunkle Sandwich as it tasted like Peanut butter and jelly like it was soo good up there with one of the best shots I've ever had soo flavorful and just good like this was by far my favorite thing I drank this night! Our other drinks were yummy too don't get me wrong as each of them has key components that made them taste amazing while I did forget the names just know that each one of them was yummy! On this particular night they had a mentalist wondering around doing magic he was fun and added to our evening here so that was a nice touch! Our bartender was awesome and quick to get us our drinks and I must say everything was mixed very well! Overall awesome spot for date night we both enjoyed our time here and hopefully we get to make it here again at some point because you can't go wrong with a chill speakeasy!

    Pink Shark is exactly the kind of spot San Antonio needed -- fun, bold, and full of personality…read more The second you walk in, the aesthetic hits you: neon, pink, playful, and totally Instagram-worthy. The drinks are creative and super refreshing, the food is surprisingly delicious (not just "bar food" -- like actually GOOD), and the staff is so friendly and hype in the best way. It's the perfect place for a girls' night, a cute date, or just grabbing something fun and different.

    Pink Shark has been on my radar since it opened a couple years ago, and I'll admit I came in with…read moresome hesitation. I'm always drawn to cocktail bars with a strong theme, and places like this usually live or die by how well they commit to the experience. Right away, the space is visually striking. The pink-forward aesthetic isn't totally my lane, but I can appreciate how fresh and easy on the eyes it feels. That said, it leans more high-energy lounge than intimate cocktail bar. For me, it's missing a bit of that dim, red-lit, date-night allure that makes a true cocktail spot feel seductive and immersive. At times, it feels closer to a club atmosphere than a tucked-away lounge. What really pulled me in, though, was the speakeasy concept and this is where Pink Shark starts to shine. The hidden entrance in the back delivers exactly the kind of exclusivity I was hoping for. Inside, the vibe shifts: loungy, modern, and just the right amount of sexy. The minimalist design works, and the lighting and décor pop without feeling overdone. Music can make or break a place like this, and on Saturday (4/25), the DJ nailed it. A smooth mix of EDM with reworked classics kept the energy up without overwhelming the space. Paired with a solid sound system, it elevated the entire experience. On the drinks side, there's a bit of a split. The signature cocktail menu is solid and clearly the focus, but for a speakeasy-style bar, the overall selection feels a little limited. I did appreciate seeing El Tesoro Reposado and Blanco on hand; always a good sign. I went with an Old Fashioned using the reposado, and my date had a Paloma with the blanco (based on a prep recommendation). Both were well-executed, and the bartender was accommodating and easygoing, which goes a long way. Service was smooth and quick, and we lucked out with seats at the bar at least for a while. Fair warning: around 11pm, they clear out the bar seating as the crowd builds. It shifts the energy again toward more of a standing-room, nightlife feel, but if you can snag one of the couches, you're in a good spot. Overall, Pink Shark has a lot going for it and even more potential. The speakeasy element is easily its strongest feature, and I'd love to see that identity pushed further especially with a deeper, more classic-leaning cocktail list (think Black Manhattan or a proper Boulevardier). There's something really good here it just hasn't fully settled into its lane yet. I'll definitely be returning soon. Texas Mozzer
