    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!

    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!

    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

    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.

    Perfect place to bring a date or friends....clean, comfortable, and not too loud or crowded. Drinks are amazing, order off the menu or ask the bartenders to make you something based on your favorite spirit. Open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings, reservation only. Just visit their website and click on the Reservations button, available dates and time slots will pop up. Located on the side of The Barn Door Steakhouse, look for the green light.

    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.

    I had never been here before, but after one visit, I completely understand why people speak so…read morehighly of it. The whiskey and bourbon selection is incredible, and the space itself is beautiful. It's tucked away just enough to feel like a hidden gem, but what impressed me most wasn't the drinks. It was the service. When I walked in, one of the staff members was meticulously polishing cocktail glasses, spending several minutes making sure every glass was spotless. That level of attention to detail immediately stood out. The bartender crafted our cocktails with the same level of care. A little later, I asked for a glass of water, not realizing they had a self-serve water station. Instead of simply pointing me toward it, the bartender grabbed a glass, walked over, filled it with water, and brought it back to me. He could have easily told me where the water station was, but instead, he chose to take care of it himself. It was a small gesture, but it said everything about the level of hospitality here. Between the incredible whiskey and bourbon selection, expertly crafted cocktails, beautiful atmosphere, and service that goes above and beyond, this is a spot I'll definitely be coming back to.

    Chill spot attached to Q.P.V. You can NOT order food at the bar…read more Bartenders are just as chill as the bar. Mix (on first Friday) was 90-2000s mix. We appreciated the music too

    My wife and I went to The Modernist after seeing it on social media. There wasn't a drink menu, and…read morewe were told the idea is that you tell the bartender what you like and they make something for you. Her first drink was a lavender-style cocktail and was fine. For her second drink, she told the bartender to surprise her. He gave her a look and asked more than once if she was sure she wanted him to surprise her. Instead of making her an actual cocktail, he poured her what seemed to be a straight, extremely bitter liqueur. The whole interaction felt sarcastic and like he was intentionally messing with her rather than trying to make her something she would enjoy. What bothered me most was the attitude behind it. We weren't being rude, demanding, or causing problems. We were there to have a good time and experience the whole "tell us what you like and we'll make you something" concept. I did call the number listed for the business afterward trying to speak to someone about it. The person who answered said I had the wrong number and didn't know what I was talking about. I got angry during that call and said some things I shouldn't have, and I can admit that. But that doesn't change how disappointing the experience at the bar was. We expected a creative and welcoming experience and instead left feeling like my wife had been mocked. I hope management sees this and addresses it, because the concept of the place is great, but the way we were treated completely ruined it for us
